How to defeat the Hunter in Dead Space remake Electronic ArtsThe Hunter is a recurring boss in the Dead Space remake. Most of the time, he can\u2019t be hurt due to its regenerative abilities, but there are times you can take him down. Here\u2019s the strategy you need to beat the Hunter in Dead Space. At first glance, you may mistake the Hunter in Dead Space for a normal Slasher Necromorph, but you\u2019ll soon learn that he can\u2019t be killed. Even if you sever his limbs, blow him up, or fill him with lead, the Hunter will simply regenerate his body parts and continue to come after you. Most of the time, you\u2019re simply better off slowing him down either through stasis or shooting off his legs \u2013 then running for your life. However, there are two key boss fights in the Dead Space remake where you can defeat this foe \u2013 the second being for the final time, but there\u2019s a strategy to employ during each encounter. Below, we\u2019ll cover everything you need to know about defeating the Hunter in Dead Space. Remember, you\u2019ll encounter this enemy multiple times throughout the game, but there are only two occasions when you can truly damage him. How to beat the Hunter: First boss fight It\u2019s important to point out that the first boss fight with the Hunter is not the first encounter with him. You\u2019ll first encounter the enemy in Chapter 5 when Mercer unleashes it against Isaac. Here, it\u2019s wise to save your ammo and escape, as the monster will continue to regenerate and can\u2019t be killed. However, later during the showdown in the Cryogenic Lab, the Hunter can be defeated in a boss fight. It\u2019s also relatively simple to do, just be aware you\u2019ll also need to contend with various other enemies while avoiding the Hunter. In this battle, you\u2019ll see a structure in the middle of the room, this is where you\u2019ll need to lure the creature. Once he\u2019s in there, immobilize him by taking out his limbs, then zap him with stasis to stop him from regenerating quickly. Then rush to the back of the room, through the only unlocked door you can see, and activate the Cryo Chamber. This will blast the Hunter with ice and cause him to be transported away from your location, ending the boss fight. You\u2019ll only need to do this once for the battle to be over. All other Necromorphs will run away once the Hunter has been defeated also. Don\u2019t forget to enter the Cryo Chamber and collect your reward for winning the battle. Second boss fight Once again, the second boss fight isn\u2019t your second encounter with the Hunter. By now you\u2019ll have dealt with this creature many times, but this is your final battle \u2013 and where you\u2019ll kill the beast. By now, you\u2019ll know the Hunter\u2019s secrets and the truth about its origin, especially if you completed the side mission all about this. You\u2019ll need to contend with the creature stalking you throughout Chapter 10, but once again, don\u2019t waste your ammo. Slow it down and keep moving. When you finally reach the Shuttle, you\u2019ll need to engage its engines and test the blasters before you can take off. This is when the Hunter makes its final assault on Isaac. Just repeat the same tactic that you used in the first boss fight, only this time lure the creature behind the shuttle, in front of the blasters. Then, immobilize the beast again and run back into the side room and press the button to test the engines. If you timed it right, the Hunter (and any other Necromorphs there) will be burned to a crisp by the shuttle\u2019s back blasters, finally killing the relentless enemy. You\u2019ll then get to have one final showdown with Mercer and witness the Hive Mind make its first appearance. Looking for more Dead Space remake content?
