How to Bypass Verdugo Without Defeating It
It is possible to bypass Verdugo without defeating it. In Chapter 10, the story progresses when you get on the elevator after restoring power, so if your goal is only to clear the chapter or if you have limited supplies, it is recommended to keep running away without fighting.
Using Liquid Nitrogen to Stall While Escaping
When you're running away from Verdugo, make your way to areas where liquid nitrogen is available. This can help you temporarily freeze Verdugo, buying you some time.

Dodging Verdugo's Aerial and Ground Attacks
Verdugo can attack by extending its tail from the floor or ceiling. However, you can avoid these by using the dodge button when you see the tail coming. Exercise caution when Verdugo disappears; that's when it's likely to unleash its tail attacks.
Using Liquid Nitrogen to Stop Verdugo's Movements
When Verdugo comes into contact with liquid nitrogen on the battlefield, it becomes temporarily immobilized. Use this to your advantage to either buy time or defeat it.

Navigating to the Restoration Lever
After Verdugo's introduction, move towards the lever to restore electricity. Verdugo primarily uses its tail for attacks until you activate the lever. Dodge these by pressing the dodge button when you see its tail.
Freezing Verdugo with Liquid Nitrogen
Once you pull the restoration lever, Verdugo will fully reveal itself. Use liquid nitrogen to temporarily stop its movements.
Finishing Off Verdugo with a Rocket Launcher
After freezing Verdugo with liquid nitrogen, use your Rocket Launcher to defeat it. A direct hit will take it down in one shot, saving you ammunition and other resources.
Alternate Method: Continuously Freeze and Attack
If you prefer not to use the Rocket Launcher, you can continuously freeze Verdugo with liquid nitrogen and attack it while it's immobile.
