NEW ENEMY (15)

Learn how to take down the Giant Serapede in Gears of War 3. Discover its weak points and strategies to survive its devastating attacks and the support fire from snipers and Elite Therons.

Alright, let's talk about the Giant Serapede you'll run into. This thing is a real pain, and honestly, your best bet is to let it focus on your teammates so you can get a clean shot at its weak spot.

Warning: If this monster decides to target you directly, its attacks pack a serious punch. Don't even think about trying to damage it until it's distracted by someone else. Your priority is to get away and survive.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• The weak spot is located on its back. You'll need to break each section of its body to bring it down.

Phases:

1. The Giant Serapede will attack. Focus on dodging and surviving until it targets a teammate.
2. Once it's distracted, target the glowing weak spot on its back. Destroying sections will eventually defeat it.
3. Be aware that during this fight, you'll also have to deal with two snipers and an Elite Theron attacking from elevated positions.
4. After you defeat the first Giant Serapede, get ready because another one will attack you.

Strategy:

• Prioritize survival: Keep moving and use cover to avoid the Serapede's main attacks.
• Let your teammates draw aggro: Wait for the Serapede to focus on them before making your move.
• Aim for the back: Once it's distracted, unload your best weapons onto the glowing weak spot on its back.
• Manage adds: Don't forget about the snipers and Elite Theron. Take them out when you have a safe opening, or focus on the Serapede if you can survive their fire.
• Prepare for the second wave: After the first Serapede is down, brace yourself for another one. The same tactics should apply.

Once you've dealt with the Serapede(s), you'll need to head up the ramp and to the left to open a door, which will end the chapter. After that, you'll find yourself at the submarine in Bon Voyage, needing to find fuel and a rotor. You'll have a choice of paths, but you'll have to complete both objectives anyway, so don't stress too much about which one you pick first.
