Learn how to dodge the Tentacle Ram attack and defeat Final Form Abyss in Resident Evil: Revelations. Includes weapon recommendations.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    When a tentacle aims at you and its pinchers move, it is about to dash forward and ram you.
  2. 2
    Dodge this attack right before the tentacle hits you.
  3. 3
    If you are on a boat or in a helicopter, use the Gatling Gun to rapidly fire at the tentacles, aiming for any part but especially the front if it faces you.
  4. 4
    Be sure to shoot spike shots and be aware of the forward ram attack.
  5. 5
    Blast any tentacle that faces you, as it indicates an imminent ram attack.
  6. 6
    In Chapter 11, rocket launchers are provided in boxes during the fight against the Malacoda.
  7. 7
    A single blast from a rocket launcher will destroy a tentacle parasite; aim carefully.
  8. 8
    The best time to fire a rocket is when a tentacle faces you and is about to ram.
  9. 9
    If you cannot use a Gatling Gun or Rocket Launcher, use a Magnum against the Malacoda's tentacles in Chapter 11 for heavy damage per shot.
  10. 10
    A Rifle is the next best long-range option, though it deals less damage per shot than a Magnum.
  11. 11
    Final Form Abyss is the final boss of campaign mode, a Tyrant-like creature formed when Jack Norman injects himself with the T-Abyss virus.
  12. 12
    Abyss teleports frequently; it opens its head before each teleport and often before attacks.
  13. 13
    Strong weapon fire can interrupt Abyss's attacks and stagger it.
  14. 14
    Abyss may use images to confuse you while preparing an attack; target the image emitting purple smoke from its head, as this is the real Abyss.
  15. 15
    Blast the true Abyss to stop its attacks.
  16. 16
    Abyss may appear behind you.
  17. 17
    Dodge attacks like when Abyss creates two images of itself that run towards you to slash.
  18. 18
    Abyss can also attack without teleporting, performing close-range slashes or sudden dashes.
  19. 19
    If Abyss grabs you, tap the Y button to escape or it will impale you.
  20. 20
    Abyss's main weak point is the yellow growth on its back, which becomes exposed when it leans over after taking sufficient damage.
  21. 21
    Fire at the true Abyss when it is on-screen to damage it; spam damage whenever possible.
  22. 22
    Shoot Abyss in its top half, as its legs are stronger.
  23. 23
    When Abyss leans over, blast its yellow weak point.
  24. 24
    This boss has a large health pool in both normal and hell modes, requiring a prolonged fight.
  25. 25
    Even a rocket launcher will not defeat it without additional weapon fire.
Tips
  • Always look for the image emitting purple smoke from its head – that is the real Abyss.
  • Blast the true Abyss to stop its attacks.

  • Always shoot Abyss in its top half since its legs are stronger.
  • When it leans over, blast its yellow weak point.
