Location: Armory (Chapter 7), later encounters
The Garrador is a blind, armored enemy with massive claws. It relies on sound to locate Leon.
Attack Patterns:
- Claw Swipes: Wide, powerful swings with its claws.
- Charge: Charges forward, impaling anything in its path.
- Roar: Disorients Leon and can attract other enemies.
Strategy:
- Silence is Key: Move silently (crouch walk) to avoid detection.
- Target the Plaga: Its only weak point is the exposed Plaga on its back.
- Distraction: Shoot bells or other noisy objects in the environment to distract it, then sneak up and stab the Plaga with your knife or shoot it.
- Flash Grenades: A Flash Grenade will stun the Garrador, giving you a large window to attack its back.
- Powerful Weapons: Use your shotgun or magnum for maximum damage when its weak point is exposed.
Weakness:
- The exposed Plaga on its back.
Recommended Weapons:
- Combat Knife (for stealth stabs)
- Shotgun (for burst damage)
- Magnum (for high damage)
- Flash Grenades (essential for stunning)
