10 Video Game Bosses You Didn't Realise Can Be Beaten In SECONDS
5. Bloater - The Last Of Us
Because of its armoured exterior, the Bloater is the toughest Infected you'll come across in The Last of Us. Every time a Bloater appears, you need to stop everything else you're doing, and focus all your attention on this abomination if you hope to survive.
If you're having trouble taking this guy down, you might think you can get some help by looking at a walkthrough. Unfortunately, nearly every guide gives the same vague advice - blast the Bloater with everything you can spare and hope for the best.
But rather than wasting all your Molotov cocktails and shotgun rounds, you can take out the Bloater in one shot when Ellie first encounters him. As the beast appears from a higher platform, it'll stop for a second, giving you an opportunity to get into position. If you shoot the monster in the leg as it jumps down, you'll blow its whole limb off, giving it a quick death.
Not only is this a much easier method to dispose of the Bloater, it'll help you save a ton of ammo, which you can use for future encounters.
