·Multi-source verified (145/145)

Location: Clock Tower (Chapter 10)

Verdugo is one of Salazar's elite bodyguards, a fast and agile creature with a powerful tail.

Attack Patterns:

  • Tail Swipe: A devastating close-range attack.
  • Charge: Rushes Leon, often knocking him down.
  • Ceiling Ambush: Climbs on the ceiling and drops down for surprise attacks.
  • Acid Spit: Spits corrosive acid from a distance.

Strategy:

  1. Liquid Nitrogen: The key to this fight. Lure Verdugo near the liquid nitrogen tanks scattered around the arena. Shoot the tank when it's close to freeze it.
  2. Unleash Damage: While frozen, Verdugo is highly vulnerable. Use your most powerful weapons (Magnum, Shotgun, Rifle) to deal massive damage.
  3. Dodge & Evade: When not frozen, focus on dodging its incredibly fast attacks. Keep moving.
  4. Survival Option: If you're low on ammo, you can choose to simply survive for a set amount of time until an escape route opens. However, defeating it yields a valuable treasure.

Weakness:

  • Frozen state (highly vulnerable).

Recommended Weapons:

  • Magnum (Broken Butterfly or Killer7)
  • Shotgun (Riot Gun or Striker)
  • Rifle (Stingray)
  • Hand Grenades (for extra damage when frozen)
