This battle is quite different from everything you’ve faced thus far. There are more moving parts to deal with and some particularly tough conditions to work under. Without further ado, here’s how to deal with the final battle and take down Jessica Watts, once and for all.

When you enter the final room of the Universal Brotherhood mission, you’ll be confronted by Jessica Watts and Lynne Telestrian. No matter how this conversation goes, you’ll be quickly thrust into combat – try bringing up Sam for some interesting dialogue, though.

When the fight starts, you’ll notice that the battlefield has four interesting Insect Pillars dotted around the center, where you’ll find Lynne Telestrian preparing to become an Insect Queen. These pillars are important to the battle but you’ll find that they’re totally immune to damage at the beginning of the encounter – normal damage and the Aegis guns.

Instead, your foe is Jessica, who will run around the battlefield activating the Insect Pillars to gain power from them.

It is important that you do not kill Jessica too quickly. There seems to be a nasty bug that prevents you from completing the game if you kill Jessica before the battle’s script progresses far enough.

The aim of this fight is to follow Jessica around the battlefield, destroying the Insect Pillars that she activates. You’ll know a Pillar is activated
