Animal Nemesis (2nd Boss Fight)

Learn how to defeat the Animal Nemesis in Resident Evil 3 (2020). This guide covers item pickups, weapon strategies, and phase transitions for the second Nemesis encounter.

Alright, let's get ready for the second round with Nemesis! This guy's a bit more agile this time around, but we've got a solid plan to take him down. Think of it as a dance, but with a lot more explosions.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Weak Point: Head (initially), Heart (later)
• Effective Weapons: Grenade Launcher (Flame Rounds), Shotgun

Phases:

1. Phase 1: Nemesis is vulnerable to Flame Rounds. Focus fire on his head.
2. Phase 2: Nemesis becomes more mobile, running on walls. Wait for him to stop, then stun him with an explosive round. This is your opening to hit his heart.

Strategy:

• First things first, do a quick sweep of the arena. You'll want to grab all the Shotgun Ammo, Handgun Ammo, and Green Herbs you can find. Don't forget those Explosive Rounds – they're crucial for this fight!
• Once you've geared up, equip your Grenade Launcher. Start blasting Flame Rounds directly at Nemesis's head. Keep the pressure on until he transitions into his second phase.
• In Phase 2, Nemesis will start running along the walls. Don't chase him! Just wait patiently for him to stop. The moment he pauses, quickly fire an Explosive Round at him. This will temporarily stun him, giving you a precious window of opportunity.
• As soon as he's stunned, immediately switch to your Shotgun. Now's the time to get up close and personal and unload everything you've got into his heart.
• Just keep repeating that cycle: stun him with an explosive round when he's vulnerable, then unload your shotgun into his heart. Do this consistently, and he'll go down before you know it. You've got this!
