There aren’t too many bosses in The Callisto Protocol — especially not by survival horror standards — but the ones who do show up aren’t afraid to hit hard. This is true about the challenging final boss in The Callisto Protocol.

At the end of the game, Captain Ferris (played by Star Wars actor Sam Witwer) makes a return as a powerful, deformed monster. In keeping with horror game tradition, this last boss has two phases, transforming into something no longer resembling human. This is true with Ferris and Alpha, the two phase final boss of The Callisto Protocol. Here’s how to use all your tools to finish off the game’s final challenge.

How to Beat Alpha – Final Boss Phase 2

Alpha is a hulking mass with a biological shield that blocks its weak point — the disgusting face of the beast. Alpha will attack you with a side swipe that is a one hit kill. The other attack the boss has will be to shoot projectiles at you from afar. Make sure to always be holding the left stick in a direction to dodge when you are up close. Otherwise, if you need to reload or heal, keep your distance.

Use your Riot Gun to chip away at Alpha’s shield and it will eventually shatter. Deal enough damage to Alpha’s head and the boss will stagger and let out a roar/. Now, run to the pillars at the edge of the arena and take cover. There will be more enemies that you will want to take out with whichever weapon you like most. Just save your shotgun ammo.

After you defeat the mob of regular enemies you have a little bit of time to heal if need be. Now you just have to repeat the process of avoiding attacks and shooting Alpha with the Riot Gun in order to take it down for good. Once you do this, you’ll see the ending of The Callisto Protocol and learn of Jacob Lee’s fate.
