Uncharted 2 (PS3)

Re: Uncharted 2 (PS3)

What was Rudy's strategy? I'm playing on Hard and have died probably a dozen times trying to beat this final part. Had to throw in the towel after a while, it was getting too frustrating.

You can hang from a ledge and largely avoid getting shot by the guy. I fell off a ledge and found myself hanging there with him right above me and two trees with sap behind him. I'd just move on the ledge a little to avoid being shot and keep shooting the sap to hurt him. Wait 15 seconds for the sap to regenerate and repeat. I just found this by accident but it was easy to take him down with this method.

Ha! that's good...wish I would have found that earlier. What about

Spoiler

when he starts slinging those grenade clusters? Wouldn't that prevent you from hanging in one spot?

I can't even remember. All I know was that I was running for my life, slipped off a ledge and realized I could do this. I tried to actually pull him over but he just backs away from my lunges. Then I noticed the sap and started shooting until I eventually killed him. I was only on Normal difficulty. This might not be possible on the higher ones. I have no clue.

Well time to try this final battle again... hopefully Rudy's tip will help.

EDIT:

Spoiler

Nope, unless I'm hanging from the wrong ledge he just blasts away with the shotgun. This freaking last part sucks, not even fun or cool at all.

EDIT II: Finally got it! Still not a fan of the final battle, although everything after it is pretty cool.

Don't think I mentioned this before, but I LOVE the soundtrack in this game. "Nate's Theme 2.0" will be stuck in my head forever.

I had the same issue as you at first until I did this:

Spoiler

I would just 'hop' from one side of the ledge to the other while he tried to blast me. He'd hit me once in a while, but I'd heal and then I'd blast the sap.

Like Sox said, the whole game was a blast but the final boss battle hearkened me to boss fights from the NES days. And that's not a compliment.
It was repetitive, boring and left a bad taste in my mouth considering how great the game was up to that point.

I hope the devs read posts like these so for UC3 they can make the final boss battle fun and not feel like you're going through the motions just to see the end of the game.

Re: Uncharted 2 (PS3)

Pretty sure that's the transition for 24. You're close.

Thanks! I beat it last night. You were correct, sir!

Yeah I ended up doing the same, I eventually got too frustrated and did a YouTube search to see if there was a simpler way to beat it.

It was just a disappointing way to end the game. The rest of the game is A++ quality and then the final boss battle is below average. The final battle from the first Uncharted was better but still nothing too special. It almost seems like they are working on the final battle near the end of the development cycle when they are worn out and just want to get it finished.

Re: Uncharted 2 (PS3)

Are there any other similar games to Uncharted 1 or 2? I enjoy 3rd person shooters more so than 1st person.

There was a discussion on this topic 3-4 pages ago, had some good suggestions.

Thanks I will go check.

Re: Uncharted 2 (PS3)

This game is fun but I don't know why they talked about fixing the enemies having to be shot a million times before they go down when it's the exact same as the first game. There's also no reason that a "boss" wearing nothing but a helmet should take so many shots before he dies.

Spoiler

Um... he drank from the water that the sap runs into. He has the same mythical strength that the protectors have... so yeah, he should take more than a few shots to be killed.

I wasn't talking about the guy you're talking about, I was talking about the guy on the train from chapter 14.

That's certainly a scripted part of the game. Bullets won't even do anything to him. You have to use the fists to beat him up.

But I don't mind how many bullets bad guys take. I can take a lot more.
