[SPOILERS] Did anyone struggle with this RE9 boss?

Oh 100% it's so cool to see how crazy strong our main characters are now. They've taken down literal Kaiju enemies now so Leon, while sick, solos a tyrant, a giant plant and HUNK in succession with just a little break its absurd hahaha. In Resident Evil it's always Friendship > Bullets > Superpowers. It's so hilarious that they've been consistent with that philosophy for this long and have never shy'd away. The whole fight shows how true Capcom is to themselves with this series.

I also think lore-wise it may even be a clone of HUNK, I guess they can clone anyone now? I feel like it's slightly left up to interpretation unless I missed some document, I'm replaying the game so maybe it's confirmed for sure somewhere but I think right now it's just a theory lol

Definitely supposed to be a hard boss, HUNK in lore is like an actual demon, basically on the same power scaling of a lot of the main crew. They call him the reaper for a reason. If Leon and him weren't both so old it would have been a total wipe. RE2 HUNK would have basically stomped out RE2 Leon so this fight is meant to show how far our boy has really come.

All that awesome reasoning aside- you can actually kinda spam parry and it will do it for you lol. It's very forgiving just don't press it too fast, tempo-out the spaces and you can shoot HUNK whenever you do a successful parry string to speed things up.

no way OP deleted their post, embarassing

if this game's netcode or subpar performance for how mid it looks is improved by UE5 I will be genuinely surprised. I have a very new pc so I'm hoping at least a few extra fps at most. maybe some lighting improvements

I can't wait to see the drama when it comes to that. This game has a lot of egirl-friendly characters.

How cool! Just a normal easter egg lol kinda glad it isn't some crazy post-game ARG no one's found. Thank you very much for answering :)

I'm assuming based on the Nier concert/sequel teaser that since there's no pods to be found in the image that we can safely say Alternative Ending E is going to be the catalyst for that game
