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:
- 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.
- Unleash Damage: While frozen, Verdugo is highly vulnerable. Use your most powerful weapons (Magnum, Shotgun, Rifle) to deal massive damage.
- Dodge & Evade: When not frozen, focus on dodging its incredibly fast attacks. Keep moving.
- 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)
