Grab (4)

Learn how to dodge Rachel's grab attack and effectively fight the Draghignazzo in Resident Evil: Revelations with this quick guide.

Alright, so you're running into Rachel's grab attack? It's pretty nasty when she lunges forward with those arms and her tongue hanging out. You'll need to time your dodge just right – basically, the moment she starts to lean back. If you nail it, you'll avoid the grab sequence, but if you mess up, you'll have to mash the [Y] button to escape.

Recommended Weapons for Rachel:

• Machine Gun/Rifle/Magnum: Your best bet is a fully upgraded machine gun or PSG-1 rifle. Focus fire on her head if you can, but honestly, any part of her body will do if you're struggling to aim. The magnum is super powerful against her, but save it for Raid Mode unless you've got plenty of ammo, as a single magnum shot can usually stagger her.
• Shotgun: Up close, a shotgun blast really hurts her. Just be aware that Rachel is super aggressive at close range, so if your dodging isn't on point, you're going to take a lot of hits.

Now, let's talk about the Draghignazzo. This big ol' shellfish is infected with the T-Abyss virus and its main body is covered by a tough shell. You can only damage it where its flesh is exposed, mainly on its sides and back. The real weak spot is its red eye, located at the top of the fleshy parts. Aim for that if you can!

Draghignazzo Attacks:

• Rams: It charges from a distance, laying down its shell arm just before it goes. Your best bet to avoid this is to sprint to its right side.
• Close Range Turning Attack: If you're too close, it'll try to turn and hit you. Just back away to dodge this.
• Ground Pound: It can also do a ground pound attack. Stay at a distance to avoid it. If you get knocked down, you'll need to mash [Y] to get back up.

Draghignazzo Damage Modifiers:

• Soft area on side: 1.0x
• Soft area on backside: 1.0x
• Top red eye: 1.1x

When the Draghignazzo takes enough damage, it'll stumble and be stunned for a few seconds. Try to hit that red eye whenever possible, but any soft spot will do if the eye isn't visible. A rifle or magnum from afar, or a shotgun up close, will work well for damaging its vulnerable fleshy parts.
