Engage in a mix of gunplay and close combat
At the start of the battle with Krauser, alternate between gunplay and close combat. If Krauser starts shooting from a high ground, take cover and counterattack. If he initiates close combat, maintain distance and fight.
Navigate through traps in the ruins
Once Krauser retreats and you can proceed through the ruins, navigate while avoiding traps. Since wire traps and bear traps are placed everywhere, it is recommended to watch your step. The turrets that detect Leon and shoot at him can be destroyed by shooting them.
Proceed while avoiding obstacles with the Rocket Launcher
After passing through the area with numerous traps, Krauser will start shooting a Rocket Launcher. Take cover and proceed while avoiding the projectiles. When you reach the area near Krauser, he will place two grenades, so it is recommended to either dash in and avoid them or retreat.
Fight by combining gunshots and close combat once again
Let's fight by combining gunshots and close combat once again. If Krauser attacks with a knife, it is recommended to parry and counterattack.
Avoid ambushes and proceed when it becomes the second form
When Krauser becomes the second form, let's proceed while avoiding ambushes inside the ruins. Krauser appears suddenly, so it is recommended to be ready to evade by pressing the ◯ button at any time.
Fight with the second form in close combat after leaving the ruins
After leaving the ruins, the battle with the second form of Krauser begins in close combat. Since damage does not affect Krauser's arms in the second form, aim for the head and shoot.

Take cover behind obstacles to prevent gunfire
If Krauser starts shooting from a high ground, take cover behind obstacles to protect yourself. The battle with Krauser is a long one, so it's important to minimize damage as much as possible.
Parry melee attacks with the Knife
If you're engaged in close combat, parry with the Knife using L1. If you can create distance, using a gun to fight back is also an option. However, if Krauser is too close, use rapid L1 presses to counter.

Avoid attacks from behind after the Flash Grenade
After Krauser uses a Flash Grenade, he may try to attack from behind, so use the ◯ button to evade. Krauser often uses the Flash Grenade when he's staggered.

Shoot at the head through the gap between the arms |
Dodge the special moves by climbing the ladder |
Avoid fighting in precarious locations |
Shoot at the head through the gap between the arms
In Krauser's second form, attacks won't go through his arms due to their hardness, so aim for the head and shoot. By climbing the ladder and aiming, you can easily inflict damage to the head.
Dodge the special moves by climbing the ladder
When fighting Krauser's second form, if you see him moving to a higher platform, quickly climb the ladder to dodge. After dodging the special move, there will be a big opening, so it's efficient to quickly inflict damage with gunfire.
Boss Weaknesses and How to Defeat Them |
Avoid fighting in precarious locations
When fighting Krauser's second form, avoid fighting in precarious locations and try to stay closer to the center. If you are knocked off the platform by Krauser's attacks, it will be treated as a game over, so it is recommended to avoid being attacked at the edges.
Rewards for Defeating Krauser
Receive the Fighting Knife
As a reward for defeating Krauser, you will receive the Fighting Knife. It is the same weapon Krauser used, and it has high power and durability, so if you don't plan to upgrade your Knife, equip it.
