RE4 Remake Separate Ways U-3 Pesanta Boss Fight Guide
Before heading into the boss arena, I suggest upgrading all your weapons and crafting all the resources you need. I also recommend bringing theBlast Crossbowand Grenadesto create openings during the battle.
The moment the battle starts, you must immediatelydestroy all available barrelsbehind you. During my playthrough, I even got a Heavy Grenade as one of my loot.
The boss arena is a bit cramped, but you should still have enough room to circle around the area and avoid the Pesanta. You canuse Flash Grenadesto stun the boss temporarily and allow you to land a Grapple Melee attack. If you’re lucky, you may even get extra seconds to rain your bullets on the monster.
The boss has four main attacks. First, the U-3 will send severalprojectiles that will explodeafter some time. you may know when the bombs are about to detonate when they turn angry red. Sometimes, the Pesanta willleap forward and attack you with its massive tail or claws.
However, if it raises its left arm, immediately dodge sideways since the boss will launch atentacle attack. The most dangerous move the U-3 has is theunderground tail attack, where the monster will bury its tail into the ground and hit you from underneath. Luckily,Adais capable of evading most of these attacks, so always be ready to hit the dodge button.
During the second phase, you’ll enter a new arena filled with sewage water. The U-3 has separated from the Housekeeper’s body and turned into a creepy and murderous centipede that likes to burrow underground.
Whenever it’s above the ground, you must attempt to hit the monster on itsweak spots. There is one on itsabdomenand another one on thetip of its tail. If you bring theBlast Crossbow or Grenades, it’s the right time to chuck out all your explosives on this abomination.
Although the U-3 is very quick, you’ll get a bigger area to run around during phase two. Just keep moving on your feet and stay away from the boss. Be warned that someNovistadors will join the fightonce you reduce the boss’ health to half. While they’re annoying, killing them will give you some ammo or herbs.
Now that you’ve defeated theU-3 Pesanta bossinResident Evil 4 Remake’s Separate Ways DLC, you can continue your quest to obtain the Amber. I recommend reading ourBug Buster Merchant Requests guidesince these insects are very good at hiding.
