Complete Gears of War 4 by defeating General RAAM and witnessing the epic conclusion. Learn the strategy for the final boss and understand the ending cutscenes.

Alright, you've made it to the final showdown! This is it, the big one against General RAAM. It's a tough fight, but with the right approach, you'll send him packing.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The Final Arena: You'll be facing RAAM in a pretty open area. Your primary goal here is to chip away at his health while avoiding his devastating attacks.
  2. 2
    Weapon Choice is Key: If you run out of grenades, quickly switch to the Torque Bow. Don't aim directly at RAAM, or you might just blow yourself up! Instead, aim for the railing or nearby cover. Fire a shot, and then immediately perform an Active Reload to get the most out of your next shot. Keep up the pressure, and he'll eventually fall.
Tips for Insane Difficulty
  • The strategy remains the same on Insane, but you'll need to be much more evasive.
  • Don't hesitate to use cover to recharge your health and ammo.
  • When RAAM gets close, your best bet is to run! Put as much distance and cover between you and him as possible.
  • If you're really struggling, consider co-op. Having a buddy like Dom can make a huge difference.

The Ending:

Once you finally defeat RAAM, you'll witness the end of the game. Marcus plants the data for the Lightmass bomb, it detonates, and Marcus and the team escape. You'll also get a hint that this isn't the end of the Locust threat, setting the stage for what's next.

Ending Script Highlights:

The ending sequence shows the Lightmass bomb activating, sending missiles into Locust tunnels. Marcus is rescued by Dom and Hoffman in a Raven as the train carrying the bomb plunges into Immulsion. Hoffman gives a speech about rebuilding, while the Locust Queen vows to continue the fight, hinting at future conflicts.

Cog Tags:

Remember those Cog Tags you've been collecting? They're the last remains of fallen soldiers, meant to be remembered by their families. Picking them up grants you gamerpoints and is a way to honor the fallen. They look like blueish-white crosses with a necklace and are usually found near a red Gears of War sign painted on a wall. You don't need to reach a checkpoint for them to save; they're yours the moment you pick them up.

Congratulations! You've completed Gears of War! Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ending.
