Phases
Phase 1 Director's Office 15,000
Victor uses a high-caliber pistol and grenades. He has a phase-shift ability that makes him briefly invulnerable. After taking 50% damage, he retreats to the Elpis Core.
- • Use upgraded Matilda + Redemption — headshots deal 2x
- • Dodge grenades — they leave fire pools
- • Stock 30+ Magnum ammo before fight
Phase 2 Elpis Core 25,000
Victor merges with the Elpis bioweapon core. The core has 4 weak points that must be destroyed. After 3 Perfect Parries on the core's attack, a weak point exposes for 10 seconds.
- • Use RPG-7 — each round deals 6,000 to weak points
- • Use Redemption for weak points when RPG is reloading
- • After 3 Perfect Parries, weak point exposes 10s — empty RPG then Redemption
Phase 3 True Ending N/A
Grace uses her blood (Alyssa's genetic key) to neutralize Elpis. Quick-time sequence: Grace injects Elpis Core with her blood — Victor is consumed by the backlash.
- • Do not skip cutscene — True Ending requires full QTE success
- • After True Ending, post-credits: Leon + Grace at Raccoon Cemetery
