I am currently at the last stage of the Krauser fight in a professional run,
and am stuck. Until now, professional mode was challenging but fun.
Now, with Krauser pulling out his wing, its getting tiring -- I've been at it
for two nights.
Krauser was tough enough in normal mode. Fighting him in Assignment Ada was
serious work, but I did finally did it with just the handgun (couldn't aim the
other guns fast enough).
But the taunting XXXXer just won't die in professional mode. I have lived long
enough to put seven magnum shots in his head. I have survived long enough only
have the time charges go off. Occasionally I can damage him with my single
grenade. Sometimes I can even get off a rifle shot to his head, but then he
reaches me for a swipe.
He's so fast. I can't seem to hit his feet anymore to make him stumble. I
can't seem to damage him unless I get close. But then all too often he gets in
a good swipe I can't duck. I am starting to think that to beat him you can't
make *any* mistakes.
I no longer have the rocket launcher, having used it on Salazar's right hand
"man". I have the striker, and it seems somewhat effective, but Krauser
doesn't seem to die fast enough with it.
The frustrating thing is that many times I *know* I've hit him in time, but
the animation for one of his swipes has already started and the game either
ignores my action, or worse shows a gore splatter but with no ill effect. Once
Krauser even walked through one of my rare well-placed grenade explosions
without any apparent damage.
The real problem is the timer: I can stay alive fairly decently, but there is
not enough time to wear him down the way I did in Assignment Ada.
Any advice? I am thinking that the trick might be consecutive shots to the
head, and am currently practicing that with my handgun (7 magnum bullets go
fast).
