11 Video Game Bosses With Genius Hidden Weaknesses
5. Jack Krauser - Resident Evil 4
Facing Jack Krauser in RE4 is gruelling, since the insidious soldier launches smoke bombs, grenades, crawling drones, and hovering drones, while spraying our curtain-haired hero, Leon Kennedy, with an endless supply of bullets. He can also sneak up from behind Leon and slit his throat, killing him instantly. Also, the whole area is rigged with timed explosives, meaning the player must defeat Krauser quickly or risk starting this section all over again.
Once Leon reaches the top of the tower, Krauser spawns a massive sword arm, initiating the last part of the fight. This phase is a nightmare, since Krauser can use his blade like a shield to deflect Leon's most powerful attacks. If he trips Leon up, the menacing mercenary can cut him in two, ending the battle in one fell swoop.
However, Krauser can be killed with the weakest weapon in Leon's arsenal - the Survival Knife.
Even though the shotgun and magnum barely stun Krauser, a few slashes from Leon's blade will make short work of him.
Relying on this strategy is handy, since it helps Leon conserve ammo for later, making the final segment drastically easier.
