Master the Sam boss fight in Red Dead Revolver! Learn his patterns, weak points, and the best strategies to take him down, even on higher difficulties.
Stats / Weaknesses:
- Sam is vulnerable only when stunned.
- Headshots are effective against his bandits.
Phases:
- Initial Balcony Assault: Sam stays on the balcony.
- Table Charge: Sam charges at you, using overturned tables for stuns.
- Wall Charge: Sam charges directly at you, requiring you to dodge into a wall.
Strategy:
- When the fight begins, immediately deal with the dancers on the stage. They can be a real nuisance and take you down quickly if ignored.
- Next, focus on the bandits surrounding Sam on the balcony. Keep strafing to make yourself a harder target and aim for headshots to eliminate them efficiently.
- Sam himself is on the balcony above. You can only damage him when he's stunned. To stun him, wait for him to pick up a barrel. Shoot him just as he's about to drop it, causing him to drop it on himself and become stunned. This is your window to unload damage.
- After you've depleted about a quarter of his health, Sam will jump off the balcony.
- His next stun method involves charging into overturned tables. Position yourself behind one of these tables and wait for Sam to spot you and charge. When he's close, move out of the way, and he'll smash into the table, stunning himself. Again, this is your prime opportunity to attack. You'll need to repeat this process with all four tables.
- This is where the fight gets significantly harder. Sam no longer has barrels or tables to stun himself with. You'll need to trick him into charging into a wall. Stay near a wall and wait for him to charge directly at you. At the last possible second, dodge out of his path. He'll run headfirst into the wall and stun himself.
- Deadeye mode is incredibly useful during this phase. It allows you to line up multiple shots on the stunned Sam while he's recovering from his wall impact. Keep repeating this wall-charging tactic until he's defeated.
