Final Conflict - Abomination/Torso Boss - Part 2

Strategy for fighting this creature is detailed in the walkthrough and in this video walkthrough.

After using the adrenaline dodge to lure the giant mutant over the edge of the platform, as described in Part 1, continue as follows:


When you regain control of Lara after the cut scene, target the mutant's hand as it clings to the edge and shoot as many times as you can. (Now is a good time to switch to a more powerful weapon if you haven't already done so.) The first time the mutant rolls off the edge, you'll only have a few seconds to shoot before it pulls up and starts attacking again. The goal is to damage its hand a bit and simultaneously increase its rage.


When the mutant pulls up onto the ledge, it causes a shockwave that can knock Lara off her feet. If you jump just before it lands, Lara won't be affected.

Continue shooting at the mutant until it becomes enraged once more. Again, try to do this quickly and move toward the back wall (the one with the closed door) as you do. When the enemy charges, repeat the adrenaline dodge maneuver.


This time, if your dodge and headshot are successful, the mutant will pound on the floor causing its left hand to become stuck. Change targets to aim at the hand.

As you shoot, the mutant pounds its right hand on the floor, causing a series of tremors. If you jump just before each pound, Lara won't be knocked over.


Keep firing until you destroy one of the mutant's claws. A short cut scene plays when the mutant's hand is destroyed (shown above). There's no mistaking when it happens.

Continue shooting the mutant so it becomes enraged. As you do, move toward the edge of the platform. Then repeat the adrenaline dodge maneuver to lure the mutant over the edge again.


When it goes over, target its right hand (i.e., the one it uses to hang on). You'll see it flailing its injured left hand as it tries to pull up. Do as much damage to the right hand as possible. If you use the SMGs you may be able to make the mutant let go on this turn. Otherwise, just keep shooting until it pulls up again.

Repeat the process, alternating between luring it to the back wall—so its left hand gets stuck in the floor and you can shoot it—and luring it over the edge. The goal is to destroy both of the claws on its left hand.


Now, use the adrenaline dodge to lure the mutant over the edge one last time. With its left hand destroyed, it will take it a very long time to pull up. So just keep shooting its right hand as fast as you can, and soon it will let go and fall into the lava.
