In the bleak future of Epics Gears of War there are many alien juggernauts which have the potential to demolish the battle-hardened Marcus Fenix with ease. From the terrifying Berserkers to the hulking Brumaks, humanity is having a pretty rough time of it in the distant future. However, in the four Gears of War instalments Epic have crafted, there has never been a more ominous, difficult opponent than General RAAM the final boss battle of the first game. RAAM rose all the way to the top; once a regular (albeit oversized) Drone, his undeniable strength, intellect and ruthlessness saw him rise through the ranks to become the leader of the Locust Horde under Queen Myrrah. With a copious amount of health and his ability to control the Kryll, RAAM seemed nigh on impossible to defeat on Insane difficulty. Easy Route To Victory For those who arent ashamed to exploit a games glitches, there is a way of defeating RAAM which makes him go from being the hardest boss in the franchise to one of the easiest. If you stick in cover and dont move as the gigantic Locust lumbers towards you, he will eventually near your position and advance no more. This allows you to unload on him with blind-fire with the general unable to harm you. You just need to be patient and continue to shoot him from cover until his inordinate amount of health depletes. It might not be that rewarding, but history only recalls the victorious, right?
