Part 15

Your first boss fight is here! Learn how to take down the Abomination in The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction with this guide. Tips, strategies, and more!

Alright, so you've reached Part 15, which means it's time for your very first boss fight in The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction! Don't sweat it too much – think of it as a chance to really get a feel for Hulk's moves. Samson's gonna tell you that Branson Military Base is in trouble, and yep, it's another Hulk-like creature causing chaos. This new guy, the Abomination, is apparently blaming you for his… well, abomination-ness. Time to show him who's boss!

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Abomination: As big as Hulk, hits harder, copies most of your moves. Has 3 health bars on Easy, more on higher difficulties.
• Weak Spot: The unstable corners of the arena. Hitting the walls hard enough there causes them to collapse, damaging both you and Abomination. He doesn't learn this trick!

Phases:

1. Phase 1: The Basics

   Abomination is basically a bigger, meaner Hulk. He can smash, throw things, and even grab you. His most brutal moves are when he picks you up and slams you around. He's also smart – he'll dodge and block a lot of your attacks. So, what's the plan? Keep moving! Jump around, strike him from behind when you can. Throwing stuff at him works, or you can try grabbing him. If you grab him, hit him fast because he can break free and hit back hard. The key here is to mix up your attacks; if you do the same thing too often, he'll just block it.

2. Phase 2: Environmental Hazards & Projectiles

   The arena is littered with stuff you can use: concrete chunks, girders (great for smacking him!), and fuel barrels. Those radioactive waste containers in the middle are particularly nasty – a good smash with one can take off a quarter of his health on Easy! If he starts digging around and pulls out a giant Biohazard barrel, get ready to dodge. He's gonna hurl that thing, and it hurts. Try to keep the central reactor between you and him when he does this; the barrel will destroy the reactor, but at least it wasn't you. He'll likely throw more barrels, so if you can get close while he's doing it, use the Backhand move. Grabbing these big barrels yourself is also a good way to damage him.

3. Phase 3: Corner Collapse & Health Management

   Remember those unstable corners? Lure Abomination near them. When one of you hits the wall hard enough, the building will collapse on you both. He's not as fast as you, so jump away when you see it happening and let him take the damage. He never seems to learn, so keep doing it! If you need health, look for green orbs usually stuck to the walls around the edge of the map. Wall-run or jump up to grab them. There's a big one above the central reactor. Also, staying out of his way for a bit will let Hulk regenerate health naturally.

Strategy:

• Stay Mobile: Don't stand still! Keep jumping and dodging to avoid his powerful attacks.
• Vary Your Attacks: Mix up your combos and don't rely on the same move too much, or he'll block everything.
• Use the Environment: Grab girders, throw barrels, and especially lure him into the collapsing corners.
• Watch for Grabs: If he grabs you, mash the basic attack button to break free and counter.
• Health: Grab green orbs on the walls or let Hulk regenerate by staying out of danger.
• Biohazard Barrels: Dodge these when he throws them, or use the environment to block them. You can also grab them yourself.

After you finally take him down, Hulk unleashes a Rapid Punch Burst combo (which you'll be able to buy later). The Abomination gets knocked into a wall, and the building collapses on him. You'll then see a cutscene where Blonsky is found in the rubble, claiming Hulk started it. Save your game, because you've just completed the first chapter of the game! New moves will be available at the Church's Buy Menu, so let's go check those out next.
