This giant bat-like creature is encountered in a large, open area. Its weak point is the glowing sac on its underside. When it flies, use a rifle to shoot the sac. When it lands, it will expose its underside, allowing for shotgun or machine gun fire. It's also vulnerable to explosive damage. Coordinate with your partner to draw its attention and expose its weak point. Avoid its charge attacks and ground slams.
Strategy:
- Weak Point: Glowing sac on its underside.
- Tactic: Shoot sac when flying (rifle), or when landed (shotgun/MG).
- Vulnerability: Explosives.
- Recommended Weapons: Rifle, Shotgun, Explosive Grenades.
Much like the encounters with Nemesis in Resident Evil 3 (Remake), effectively utilizing explosive mines can force this creature into a vulnerable, grounded state for massive damage.
The Popokarimu’s reliance on a visible weak point mirrors the core combat mechanics found in Resident Evil: Revelations 2, where players must expose hidden or glowing vulnerabilities to defeat bosses.
