Krauser used to work with Leon until he faked his death (in a helicopter crash) back in 2002. Krauser is the one who kidnapped Ashley Graham in order to gain Saddler's trust. You won't get any further in the game if you don't beat this guy.

Things You Should Know

  • Use your knife to hit Krauser instead of a gun, as he moves very quickly.
  • Slash at Krauser with your knife, aiming at his legs. Time your hits as he winds up his arm to avoid his leg sweeps.
  • Press the “Dodge” button to protect yourself from losing health when Krauser hits you.

    When he goes left and right (he moves way too fast), shooting him is impossible! If you knife him enough, he will throw a flash grenade. Knifing him is the preferred way.

    Make sure you hit the dodge button! You lose health and get knocked down, but when you climb out, he's right there! Now, quickly take out your knife and knife his legs. Raise the knife upwards, and keep holding the button and Leon will keep knifing. After 6 knife stabs, he's dead! Easy... huh?

    I've tried it again and again, but it won't work. I hit the dodge buttons, and it still knocks me down and I have to spam to get up. Then I try to dodge, but he just jumps away. I have no ammo atctgis point either.

    Krauser is definitely a touchy boss, but if you've been paying attention to the prompts, you'll notice they draw prompts from the same buttons. Mash those buttons if he's winding up with his plaga arm. Otherwise, he'll use several undodgeable leg sweeps. You can bait him into using them by running forward. The enemy AI takes an early swing if you're running towards him, and you can fake him out like this: If he starts the leg sweep, once he makes his escape, backflip, and you can dash forward and knife away.

      • When the dodge button appears, HIT IT! If you don't, you will lose health and may see the "You Are Dead" on the screen.
        Thanks
