How To Beat The El Gigante Boss Fight In Resident Evil 4 Remake
El Gigante relies on his brute strength to deal damage to you but is very slow and lumbering as a result. The main strategy in the early portion of the fight is to keep your distance and shoot him in the head over and over. This can lead to stuns and will eventually lead to the Plagas parasite within him becoming exposed, protruding from his back. While you can keep doing damage to him by shooting his head, you are going to want to shift your focus to the parasite since it is a weak spot that can do massive damage and can even stagger the beast and have it fall to the ground. This will allow you to climb onto El Gigante’s back and slash at the parasite directly with your knife to do even more direct and heavy damage. If the parasite goes back into his back, simply start shooing the creature in the head until it comes back out.
Another great tip is one that requires a little setup from earlier in the game when you have the chance to save Hewie the Dog. At the start of Chapter 3, you will find the friendly canine trapped in a beartrap just outside the Village Chief’s Manor. Freeing him will see that dog make a heroic save like he does in the 2005 original with a stylish entrance as you two team up to take down the creature. Hewie will distract El Gigante and allow you to get clear shots at the parasite coming out of his back. he can also get El Gigante to change into the walls of the Quarry to get the rocks to fall on him, dealing massive damage.
With all of these tips now at your disposal, now all you have to do is continue to deal damage to the creature until his health reaches 0. Utilize all that has been written here and focus on the parasite to eventually bring down The Giant.
