Learn how to defeat G-Birkin in Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City! This guide covers the Incinerator Room boss fight strategy, including using the incinerator and managing Birkin's attacks.

Alright, so you've followed Sherry down the tunnel and found that laptop on the floor – good job spotting it! Keep following her, and get ready, because a cutscene's about to drop. When it's over, you'll be face-to-face with G-Birkin.

Objective: Escape into the Umbrella Sewers

As soon as the cutscene ends, G-Birkin is right there. Your first move? Blast him in that shoulder eye to stagger him. Don't stick around though; immediately turn and sprint through the circular doorway ahead. That leads you straight into the Incinerator Room.

Objective: Defeat G-Birkin

Okay, you're in the Incinerator Room. Your goal here is to use the environment to your advantage. As soon as you enter, rush to the opposite side of the room and get near the control levers on the left side, towards the back. G-Birkin will make his entrance soon, and a cutscene will play showing him in the middle of the incinerator.

Here's the trick: Birkin isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. Once he's in position, quickly hit those control levers to activate the incinerator. You'll see flames shoot out from the pipes around the central grated area, heating him up. You need to hit him with these flames a total of four times to win the fight. The incinerator takes a bit to recharge each time, so make absolutely sure the flames will hit him when you activate it!

While you're waiting for the incinerator to recharge, keep an eye on Birkin. He can get pretty aggressive. Try to blast his shoulder eye whenever you can to interrupt his attacks. It's super important to keep all your teammates alive during this fight; more targets mean Birkin is less likely to focus solely on you. Watch out for his dash attacks, pipe swings, and especially his ground pound, which can knock you down and deal damage if you're too close. If he starts to charge, just sidestep and blast his eye, or simply run to the side.

You'll notice red barrels on both the right and left sides of the room. These are great for temporarily pinning him down. Shoot them, and they'll ignite, burning anything on that side of the room. The main strategy here is simple: keep Birkin busy, keep him occupied, and roast him with the incinerator when he's in the middle and it's recharged.

Pro-Tip: If you need to heal, there are First Aid Sprays and Green Herbs on both sides of the room. There's also an ammo crate in the room to refill your supplies. Don't be afraid to use them!
