The second fight against Bruno in Hellraiser: Revival is a tough boss battle that requires you to survive the attacks of Bruno, who is extremely strong, across two separate arenas. Bruno is able to walk on pools of blood and attack from ambush, which makes it tough for you to keep yourself safe. There are explosive barrels, gas cylinders and flame weapons to do massive damage. You also need to keep moving and avoid getting too close to him. Here’s how to beat Bruno in the second encounter in Hellraiser: Revival.
How To Beat Bruno (Second Encounter)
The second encounter with Bruno in Hellraiser: Revival is divided into two stages. Bruno is capable of doing massive amounts of damage if he manages to get up close, so be sure to stay on the move and utilise everything that you can from your surroundings. Explosive barrels and gas cylinders will be especially helpful in this encounter. Take along a shotgun with the Dragon’s Breath modification.
How to Defeat Bruno in the First Arena
Right after the battle starts, move to the right and kick the explosive barrel. After that, wait until Bruno moves toward the barrel and destroy it to create an explosion and burn Bruno. Then, push the nearby gas canister into the other explosive barrel to be able to explode both barrels at once.
After Bruno makes another attack, take the supplies from the nearby crate. It is also possible to kick the second gas canister and place it next to the first one to have more explosives at hand. Bruno will eventually dive into the blood and swim towards the player. Continue moving to prevent getting caught by Bruno’s grab attack. When he stops near the gas canisters, destroy them to create another explosion.
Afterwards, change to your shotgun with the Dragon’s Breath upgrade and blast Bruno so that he catches fire. During the time when he is busy dealing with the fire, get closer to him so that you can attack him with melee attacks. But stay close only for a short while because he will start attacking you once again. After causing sufficient damage to him, Bruno will go to the next arena. Before following him, collect any remaining supplies and equip your strongest melee weapon.
How to Defeat Bruno in the Second Arena
Once you are up the ladder, reload your shotgun and take all the supplies that are available in the crate that is close by. It is recommended to ensure there is enough free space in your inventory for the First Aid Kit. Suddenly, Bruno will make an entrance from the wall, so it is better not to spend much time here. Take what you need, go through the door and descend the stairs. Once you get to the bottom, crouch and jump down to avoid damage from falling.
In the following arena, Bruno will appear from the column. You should wait until he appears, then aim at him and shoot with Dragon’s Breath to set him on fire. Also, a couple of melee strikes can be dealt during this time. Having taken some damage, Bruno will sink into the blood pool and swim around the arena. He can appear from both the walls and the central column, so it is best to stand between them. Keep moving until he comes back out.
As soon as Bruno resurfaces, start shooting at him using the shotgun and the Hell Chains obtained from the puzzle box to chain him down. As long as he remains chained down, blast him using the Dragon’s Breath. Subsequently, switch to your AK and start shooting at his head. Using an extended clip will help you to cause maximum damage without having to reload. Continue shooting at him until he enters his banishment stage, after which you can continue with the rest of the questline.
