Resident Evil 4 Remake: Del Lago Boss Fight Guide

gameranx.com:

Just like its predecessors including its 2005 original, Resident Evil 4 Remake comes with several boss fights that will see Leon and the player truly push to the test as the greatest monsters found in this remote village are out for his head. The first boss fight in the game is the same as in the original game: the giant amphibious creature that lives beneath the lake, Del Lago. A salamander that was experimented on and injected with Las Plagas, the creature has grown to an impossible side and controls the lake of the village, unable to be controlled by Los Iluminados, and is kept docile with food consisting of the cult’s victims. Armed with just some harpoons and a rickety boat, some players might need some help in figuring out to deal with this creature from beneath the water. This guide will tell players how to defeat the Del Lago boss fight in Resident Evil 4 Remake.

Del Lago is the boss encounter found at the end of Chapter 3 and, as the name would suggest, is fought while trying to cross the lake to find the key to the Church that Ashley is held in. After getting gas for the boat, Leon will start tom make his way across the water until the engine dies on him and its anchor gets caught on the Del Lago and starts to drag the boat around the lake. You are given unlimited harpoons to throw at the creature and are tasked with just doing damage to it while avoiding damage yourself. You can aim the harpoon to see its trajectory and then can either press the fire button or simply release the aim button to throw the harpoon at the creature.

While Del Lago drags you around the lake, players will also need to keep an eye out for the debris and driftwood found floating in the water as Del Lago will attempt to crash your boat
