Raam venting

So I dusted off my virtual copy of GoW and decided to play it through again. Only on Hardcore difficulty.

Can. Not. Beat. Raam. No idea how people can do it on Insane.

I've read all the faqs and everything. Torque bow, Longshot, grenades, etc.

Finally gave up when that glitch happened where he got caught on the environment. I emptied the torque and longshot into his head, ran out of ammo, and he was still alive. Guess I'm getting too old for this!

I beat Raam on insane. It probably took about 60+ attempts to do so. Extremely aggravating. Unless you're a perfectionist, don't waste your time.

I feel you on that one. I just beat him on Insane solo(Gears of War: Ultimate edition) a day or 2 ago. I think it took me around an hour and a half to do it, and all any asshat online said was to shoot him until he's dead. Like thanks man, here I was trying to get Marcus to sing him a lullaby with his soothing voice. It's really a persistence thing. A Torque bow seems to help, but I just used a Longshot and Lancer. It seems that a Co-op partner would help greatly, but I didn't really have that option.

Me and a friend unloaded into him with torque bows on insane and he died in less than 20 seconds.

Might be some luck in it. I took him out on insane first try with a torque and 6 long shot headshots.

Yeah I beat the game on insane. Honestly couldn't tell you how. I can't play games on super hard difficulties anymore :( I just don't have the patience for it.

My buddy and I beat raam on insane in literally a minute and thirty seconds. I would torque away the kryl. He'd headshot with long shot. And if I still have an open window I'd headshot with torque and by the time it would hit the kryl would come back to raam and when it exploded the kryl were already gone so my buddy would put two shots of LS in raams dome. And boom done. We didn't even move from the first piece of cover.

Yeah torque bow is the way

Headshots are important. Doesn't matter what weapon it's with.

Torque is handy rather than long shot to get rid of Kryll (or whatever) but long shot may be easier to shoot given the circumstances.

Frag grenades are good.

Dumb question - does the kryll make him invincible or just reduce damage? I've gotten to the point where I'm out of torque and grenades and don't know if I should just give up.

Hmm, I'm not sure. I believe you can shoot them away with the lancer or whatever. Or if you're ballsy you can always lure him to one side and run to the other. Possibly use the turret if you can be quick/keep him distracted (planted nades, torque shot, etc)

Just wanted to share that I finally beat him. I kinda lucked out in that he got caught on the environment.

General RAAM still manages to brutally murder people multiple years into the future. Will his RAAMpage ever end?

Kill me.
