Target Salazar's Main Body
To deal significant damage to Salazar, aim your attacks at his main body, especially at the interior of his mouth. The optimal times to attack are right after he breathes fire or lets his guard down momentarily.

Close-Quarter Knife Attacks
When Salazar is weakened and temporarily disabled, move in close and use your knife for melee attacks. Keep repeating this pattern of attacking his main body and following up with knife strikes to defeat him.
Use Cover to Avoid Damage
The battlefield features various elements like pillars and steps. Use these strategically to avoid Salazar's incoming attacks. Position yourself near stairs and use them as cover for better evasion.
Earning the "You Talk Too Much!" Trophy
Take Advantage of Long-Range Openings
To obtain the "You Talk Too Much!" trophy, aim to throw a hand grenade into Salazar's mouth right after he performs a long-range attack. Save your game near the Merchant prior to the battle in case you need to reload due to a lack of grenades.

Choose the ASSISTED Difficulty Level
If you're gunning for the "You Talk Too Much!" trophy, consider playing on the ASSISTED difficulty. In this setting, the windows of opportunity to attack Salazar are longer. Note that once you start on the STANDARD difficulty, you can't change it without affecting your saved data.
Additional Information for Higher Difficulties
If you're playing on harder difficulties like Hardcore or Professional, be aware that you won't be able to change the setting mid-game. Salazar is less vulnerable in these modes, so aim for the "You Talk Too Much!" trophy when he stands still for a short period.
