Tips
- The weapon set choice greatly impacts mission difficulty. Krauser (rocket launcher), Rebecca (grenade launcher w/explosive rounds), and Barry (M500 magnum) are recommended for quickly defeating Popokarimu. HUNK and Claire may struggle with their default sets.
- The time bonus placement is the same as mission 3-5, but the bonuses are worth more time.
- Prioritize hitting the two 90-second time bonuses at the north and south ends of the tunnel before engaging in heavy combat, as they are harder to reach later.
- The kill combo is not critical but try to maintain it until Popokarimu spawns.
- Having several proximity bombs and ample ammo for your most powerful weapon is very important.
- When fighting Popokarimu, stay in the lower middle area. Use proximity bombs to stun him and the surrounding enemies.
- Focus most of your attention on damaging Popokarimu.
- With Krauser, two rocket shots to the tail weak point are usually sufficient.
- With Rebecca, explosive rounds can stun Popokarimu, allowing you to spam his tail weak point. The grenade launcher's ground explosion can provide flinch invincibility.
- Barry's M500 is powerful but conserve ammo and aim carefully.
- Recommended Skills: Old School (level 3) for inventory reloading, Giant Killing to defeat bosses faster.
