Resident Evil 3 Nemesis Ps1 Dodge

[Mireille Duhon]

Pleasesomeone help me out here. I just can't beat this fucking boss. I just can't dodge all of his attacks, it is fucking impossible. I have the combat manual but it doesn't do shit in this fight. Coins don't help either. I can get in one power core, sometimes two but then this boss gets so insane and just spams attack after attack and I just can't dodge it all. I have been trying to beat this guy for 2 fucking hours. I just can't.

How can you call this an easy plat if this boss is so fucking hard ?

Looking at your message has me worried as someone who hasnt started playing the game yet. Was relieved that this platinum was going to be easier than Re2(Still havent platted RE2 because i got so tired of playing the same game so many damn times). Hopefully u get through it.

Yeah I finally did it. Watched a video by PS4trophies on YT and suddenly I was able to do it on 2nd try. This time I just ran like hell all the way to the left, dodging his overhead combo, blasted some blisters, then dodged his two sweeps and put in the first power core. Then I ran all the way to the right dodging is combo again but then getting almost stunlocked by another triple hit but was able to dodge one of the hits. Then full heal and blasting away at his blisters, dodging the sweeps again, then putting in the core on the far right side.

Then ran to the middle, dodged his sweep, blasted one set of blisters, then dodged another sweep and blasted the other set of blisters, then running to the last core putting it in and then ran LIKE HELL back to the rail gun, praying he won't hit me until I get there. Luckily he didn't and I was able to finally blast his brains out.

Man what a fight. Jesus.

Have the plat now and did it in 6 runs:

1. Assisted (to collect everything)

2. Hardcore (to unlock Nightmare)

3. Assisted (for the no healing run)

4. Nightmare (to unlock Inferno)

5. Assisted (for the no Item box run)

6. Inferno (to finish up)

Total playtime: 26 hours, 37 minutes

Btw something is wrong with the statistic overview on RE.net

According to my statistics there I saved 100 times on Hardcore (I actually didn't save once) and I killed 0 enemies on Inferno. ahem...what ?

Iron Defence coins are important for the last nemesis battle, since his wombo combo can one shot you if you don't dodge it. With Rocket Launcher he actually shouldn't have many chances for his combo though, since you can destroy all his weakpoints with just 3 shots. I killed him on Nightmare wihouth the RL and boy, you have to dodge a lot without it.

Im still playing assisted, routing out a easy first playthrough, 40,000+pts, doing all collectibles, no box, no healing, under 2 hours S rank and its actually quite easy believe it or not with the right planning with no grinding needed.

Currently I have the viewer with Infinite SMG and both attack coins ready for Hardcore with no grinding, are Iron Defence coins something I should invest in next do you think ready for boss battles???

I did it last night. two hours just for him... i ended up with running, dodge, running, get hit, heal, running, dodge, get hit, heal and so one... it works. and i think all the people saying "oh its the easiest resi game oh" are just talking. because this fight is not a second easy on inferno. and this is good. in the end i had that satisfying feeling to have accomplished something...

I actually had all the coins including the assault coins because contrary to what the PP guide says the RL does NOT kill every enemy in one hit without the Assault coins (on Hardcore and beyond) Hunters and Hunter Gammas can survive a hit on the higher difficulties. Nemesis takes more hits to down as well so the Assault coins do in fact help a great deal especially on Nightmare and Inferno (Nemesis goes down much quicker in the bossfights for example)

For the final boss on Inferno I had the RL, all the coins and about 4 full heal items. Yes with the RL you can destroy his weakspots in three shots (assuming they hit the target) but there is a delay between shots with the RL in this game and the boss still hits you with insane combos that you must dodge. Without perfect dodges you cannot beat this boss on Inferno, no matter how many coins and heal items you have. I had all the coins and his triple stunlock attack still killed me over and over and over. Sometimes he also mixes up attacks and makes combos of 8 (!) consecutive hits followed by sweeps and ground slams. It is very hard to predict his moves on Inferno and you must react very quickly.

I have seen the Inferno run of famous youtuber UhTrance and this guy is just insane. He did the Nemesis fight on Inferno with only a handgun without taking any damage, dodging absolutely everything. At one time he was pulling off like 8 (!) dodges in a row because if you aggro him enough Nemesis will hit you with a 8 hit stunlock combo. It was insane. UhTrances run was not very helpful for me though because mere mortals can not play like that lol

Yea, I try to shy away from speedrunners as their tactics are not always helpful to all. They like to rely on tactics that take time and pratice to learn plus glitches, whereas I like tactics that require little time, little practice an uses no glitches, find those strats more accessible!

When I get there going to take me hours of experimenting to try and work out easiest way if indeed there is. Im hoping there is a cheese spot to stand which allows you to avoid some attacks, but I doubt it

If you're fast enough you can get the 2 power cores on the right before he fully gets up. Just have start pushing the first one right after you destroy the last bulb and then dodge dash to the other power core. This way you can can it in 2 knockdowns instead of 3. Pulled it off 3 times but never actually beat it.

Yeah this boss is insane. Even with the RL. And no unfortunately there is no spot from where you can easily kill the boss, he can even hit you in the corners. Though when the fight starts if you stand in front of the Railgun he cannot get you. Unfortunately this no longer works once you hit him with the Railgun the 1st time.

If you use both defense coins then you can survive 2 slam attacks provided you are at maximum life, so it is a good idea to go into the fight with a few full heals. He usually only does 3 slam attacks in a row so if you fail to dodge the first slam then you will die due to the stun lock otherwise you can immediately heal if you dodge the first then get hit 2 times. If the boss gets ridiculous and uses it more than 3 times then you are probably just going to die unless you've mastered the dodge timing because he has two different slam frequencies and you need to know both. Without coins you die in one hit I believe so the fight is an incredible difficulty spike compared to the rest of the game if you don't use them.

Overall, it is not that hard with the shop items.. just have to spend some time learning the attack patterns and pay attention to the arm to time your dodge properly for his initial slam. Don't get greedy on the fight either. Always let him attack and then after avoiding it shoot 1 rocket max. Also make sure you get to the side of the room where you need to push in a power source BEFORE dropping him.
