How to Beat The End (Second Encounter)

Confront the legendary sniper, The End, in a climactic second encounter within the Dremuchij Swamp. This battle tests your patience, stealth, and strategic thinking. Unlike the first encounter, this fight is a true duel of wits, requiring you to outmaneuver and outlast your aging opponent in a vast, open area.

The Dremuchij Swamp is a large, open area with plenty of cover in the form of trees and rocky outcrops. The End will be somewhere within this area, using his camouflage to blend in. Your primary goal is to locate him and eliminate him. The Motion Detector is useful, but The End can be difficult to pinpoint. Listen for his sniper rifle shots and the sound of his footsteps. He will attempt to flank you and get the drop on you, so constant awareness is key. One effective strategy is to use the environment to your advantage. Climb trees to get a better vantage point, or use the water to mask your movements. If you have the Thermal Goggles, they can help you spot him through his camouflage. Alternatively, you can use the sniper rifle yourself to try and engage him. Aim for his head or limbs to inflict damage. If he spots you, he will try to take you down with his rifle. If you are hit, quickly find cover and heal yourself. Another tactic is to use the environment to your advantage by setting traps or using the terrain to funnel him into a position where you can attack. Patience is paramount; rushing into the open will likely result in being shot. Observe his patterns, anticipate his movements, and strike when the opportunity arises. If you're struggling, consider using the tranquilizer pistol to put him to sleep, allowing you to get closer for a more precise shot or to escape. Remember to manage your ammo and health throughout this prolonged engagement.
