    In the room with a hole in the wall, pick up the [YELLOWED PAGE] from the cabinet.

    In the Cult Anteroom, save your game.
  12. 12
    Move along the corridor and exit the room to trigger a cutscene leading to the final battle.

Stats / Weaknesses:

  • Boss: Samael
  • Weaknesses: Ranged attacks (Assault Rifle, Redeemer), Melee attacks (Kitchen Knife, Scalpel, Katana) when circling.

Phases:

  1. Samael's attacks include an overhead punch at close range, a fire beam from his chest (indicated by moving back appendages), and fireballs that rain down (indicated by glowing spaces on the ground).
  2. Dodge his attacks by moving to the side for the fire beam and away from glowing areas for the fireballs.
  3. Attack Samael when he is not actively attacking.
  4. For melee combat, circle Samael to avoid his overhead swing and attack when he misses. Back off only when he prepares a long-range attack.

Strategy:

  • Use your most powerful weapons, such as the Assault Rifle or Redeemer, and attack from a distance when Samael is idle.
  • If using melee weapons, circle Samael to avoid his attacks and strike when he misses.
  • Use all available health items; do not conserve them.
  • After defeating Samael, the ending cutscenes will play. The first victory always results in the Good Ending. Save your "Special Save File" after the credits.
