Learn about the Farfarello, an improved Hunter variant in Resident Evil: Revelations, and how to defeat it.

Farfarello (meaning Slanderer) was named after one of the 12 devils called Malebranche (Evil Claws) from the Divine Comedy written by Dante Alighieri. Farfarello is the improved breed of "Hunter" and was created by adding the "T-Abyss" to hunters.

As a result, Farfarello came to have characteristics such as the ability to mimic its surroundings and become transparent like a group of aquatic organisms would do. However, because it has been exposed to multiple viruses, it is believed that it became so aggressive that it is even more difficult to control.

Farfarellos are grayish-white Hunters with the ability to make their body transparent. They have the same exact attacks as the standard Hunter but they are even more aggressive in close range. They will often appear only while they in close range. They have a habit of appearing a few seconds before they finish charging their ground claw slash attack.

Farfarelleos are not as aggressive from a distance which can allow a player to find them easily from long range. While at a distance, hold up a weapon and allow the laser to shine forward. When it shines on a transparent Farfarello, the end of the laser will before circular. Farfarellos are best fought at a distance since they are highly aggressive with their attacks from up close. The weapon you use to fight them really depends on your distance from them. Use a shotgun while up close and use a rifle, magnum, machine gun or handgun from long range.
