Towards the end of Chapter 14, Leon will have his first major confrontation with Jack Krauser. This fight is often a series of quick-time events (QTEs) and knife combat. Krauser is incredibly agile and uses a large knife. Your primary objective is to parry his attacks with your combat knife and counter-attack when he's vulnerable. Pay close attention to the on-screen prompts. This fight is more about skill and timing than brute force. After a series of exchanges, Krauser will retreat, leaving Leon to continue his pursuit. This encounter serves as a prelude to their final showdown.

  • Strategy: Focus on parrying and counter-attacking with your knife. Use your handgun for quick shots when he's stunned.
  • Reward: Krauser will drop a Key Item that allows you to proceed, and you'll gain valuable experience in knife combat.
