Alan Wake 2 – How to Beat the Cynthia Weaver Boss Fight

wccftech.com:

Alan Wake 2 is here, and as you would expect from a survival horror game, it throws some fairly tough challenges at you, including a number of boss fights.

Warning: This article contains SPOILERS for Alan Wake 2.

The third major boss fight you’ll encounter in Alan Wake is against Cynthia Weaver. While she’s not the most challenging boss in the game, you do have to follow a specific series of steps to beat her. Follow our guide and you shouldn’t have too much trouble…

After making your way through the Dark Place bunker beneath the Valhalla Nursing Home, you’ll find yourself in a large circular room. Head to the central control console and push the big button and Cynthia will make her appearance. As is often the case in Alan Wake 2, you need to restart a generator, which will allow you to drain the water in the room.

In order to find the generator you need to make your way through the flooded room until you get to a break in the wall. Unfortunately, Cynthia is lurking under the water like a shark. If you stay in the water for too long, Cynthia will rush at you under the water and your flashlight and guns can do nothing to stop her. If she grabs you, half your life bar will disappear. What you have to do is make your way from one safe-haven (metal carts, ledges, ect.) to the next as quickly as possible. Keep gradually making your way forward until you get to the break in the wall, then head through.

You’re now in an outer ring around the main room. Head left, continuing to zip from platform to platform as quickly as you can. There are a couple cubbies in the wall that contain some ammo and resources. Finally, you’ll come to a cubby with the generator. Restart it. Across from this cubby there will be a taller platform.
