10 Video Game Bosses You Didn't Realise Can Be Beaten In SECONDS

2. General RAAM - Gears Of War

Early on in Gears of War, you'll encounter the Locus General, Uzil RAAM. When you see the way this monstrosity easily overpowers Marcus Fenix's troops, you know he's a force to be reckoned with.

So, when the Gears corner RAAM on the Tyro Pillar train in the final stage, he refuses to go down without a fight. Throughout this encounter, you need to advance towards RAAM, taking cover behind blocks. Because RAAM is armed with a Troika Heavy Machine Gun, he can waste you in less than a second. No matter how careful you are, RAAM only needs one clean shot to take you down.

Simply put, RAAM isn't going to make things easy... unless you cheese it.

If you take cover behind the top-right block, your nemesis won't be able to target you. Although most glitches require astounding precision, this one doesn't. If you hide behind this block, there is a 100% chance he won't hit you. Once RAAM approaches, you can wail on the tyrannical alien with ease.

Surprisingly, you can still perform this little manoeuvre in Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, since the remaster didn't address it.
