Resident Evil: Ranking Every Boss From Worst To Best
38. Derek Clifford Simmons
Appears In: Resident Evil 6
Is it a weird panther monster thing? A giant eyeball? A fly?!
When Simmons isn't off mutating, he somehow finds the time to be not only aid to the president of the United States, but also head the Family. Working in the shadows for many years, Simmons is one of the people responsible for the sterilisation of Raccoon City, which ultimately leads to its destruction.
Being made Sherry's legal guardian and causing the death of the president he once advised is also on his list of accomplishments in the Resident Evil canon, but these would all take a back seat for Simmons. His true obsession was Ada WOng.
10 years and 12,235 experiments are the lengths Derek Clifford Simmons will go to get what he wants.
How To Beat:
Derek Clifford Simmons comes in many forms and is fought on a train, up a building and with the power of Mother Nature herself. Never reaching the status of challenge, this triathlon of a boss encounters are easily solved the same way - by causing old Simmons to morph back into his human state and unloading a hellfire of bullets.
When he is in his final form, the fly form, attacking Simmons enough will cause him to pull in surrounding zombies to regenerate his body. So make sure these have been impaled with a lightning rod so that Mother Nature can do her work.
This will eventually open Leon up to the rocket launcher conveniently left there by Ada Wong.
Lightning does strike twice here.
