Learn how to defeat the Scagdead boss in Resident Evil: Revelations. Discover its attacks, weak points, and the best strategies, including using explosive barrels and the Café counter.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Locate all red explosive canisters in the area. There are three on the top floor (one in the padlocked room, one outside it, and one near the south stair railing) and two on the bottom floor (one in the Café, one near the stairs).
  2. 2
    Note the two dropoff areas on the top floor that allow Jill to instantly descend to the first floor.
  3. 3
    Pay attention to the area in the Café where Jill can hop over the counter; this is crucial for the upcoming battle.
  4. 4
    When ready, approach the padlocked door and hit it with the knife. Move away from the door.
  5. 5
    The Scagdead will break down the door and begin attacking. Normal Oozes, Pincer Oozes, and Tricorne Oozes will also spawn.
  6. 6
    To defeat the Scagdead, lead him towards an explosive barrel and shoot it.
  7. 7
    When he is stunned by the explosion, approach him and perform a fully charged melee attack.
  8. 8
    Repeat this process with all explosive canisters, stunning him and following up with melee attacks.
  9. 9
    Use any hand grenades you have on the Scagdead.
  10. 10
    Once all explosive canisters are depleted, continue to damage the Scagdead with gunfire. His weak point is the head of the remaining half of the officer's body on his left shoulder.
  11. 11
    Shoot this weak point until he is stunned, then perform another charged melee attack.
  12. 12
    After defeating the Scagdead, he will drop the LIFEBUOY KEY.
  13. 13
    Return to the room the Scagdead was trapped in for extra pickups, including the "COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER'S JOURNAL" file on a shelf.
  14. 14
    Find the HANDPRINT (14/30) on the top stacked crate inside the room the Scagdead was held in, facing the door.
  15. 15
    Collect the random ammo on the shelf in the same room.
  16. 16
    Scan the floor near the stacked boxes in the room for Rifle Ammo (+3).
Tips
  • The Scagdead's "Grab" attack is an instant kill. If hit, he grabs Jill, slices her with his saw, and holds her with his mouth.
  • His "Dashing Saw Attack" can inflict the danger status. Heal immediately if hit.
  • The "Mouth Traps" he fires can be shot with a handgun to destroy them.
  • A helpful trick is to lead the Scagdead to the Café on the bottom floor. Hop back and forth over the counter while shooting him. This provides a safe distance, but be careful not to get too close, as he can hit Jill through the counter. The rifle is effective when using this tactic.
