Charlotte is one of the difficult bosses in the game Hellraiser: Revival, especially if you do not have adequate ammunition and healing items. Before confronting Charlotte, you will have to go through a few waves of enemies that will deplete your resources.
The good thing is that you can make use of fuel barrels, bear traps and other items lying around the arena to make the battle easier for yourself. Here’s how to prepare for the fight and defeat Charlotte in Hellraiser: Revival.
Charlotte Boss Fight Preparation in Hellraiser: Revival
Prior to commencing the battle with Charlotte in Hellraiser: Revival, go around and pick up all the helpful items from the surrounding containers. After gathering everything you need, go back to the save point and save your game. It would be wise to set some bear traps in the arena since these can be useful in slowing down Charlotte during the battle.
It seems that Charlotte is vulnerable to fire attacks, which means that you may use the Dragon’s Breath upgrade on your shotgun. You also need to find the Skull Crusher, a melee weapon available in the vicinity. You should have a pistol or another ranged weapon ready as well. There are also many fuel barrels in the arena. You may move them to extend the fuel trails.
If you look above the arena, you will spot several lit lanterns. You can collect the fire with your cube and set enemies on fire, or hit the explosive barrels with it.
Defeat the First Wave of Enemies
Before the appearance of Charlotte, several enemies will come into the arena. Instead of wasting your ammunition, you need to move and gather all of them in one place. Then, you need to bring them to the places where there are fuel traces and light them up.
The fire will damage them over time, so you can kill several enemies without wasting any of your ammunition. You can use the same method for killing the rest of the enemies using another trail of fuel.
Be sure to stay away from the path of the police cars that will appear after killing the first group of enemies. Otherwise, they can crush you and cause significant damage. The police will attack the enemies, and you just need to dodge them and wait until the police finish their work.
This is a good way to save your ammunition, healing items, and weapon durability for Charlotte. Once all the enemies are defeated, a cutscene will play, and Charlotte will enter the arena.
How to Defeat Charlotte
As soon as the battle starts, get the Skull Crusher and go towards one of the fuel tanks. Once Charlotte comes near, shoot the tank to burn her. Give a few shots from the pistol to bring her down. Also, you can try telekinetically grabbing the flames and throwing them at her.
After that, try bringing Charlotte near any of the bear traps that you had set previously. But if she gets trapped in the bear trap, you can use the Skull Crusher on her. Sometimes, the bear trap doesn’t work either. While shooting, aim for the head or back to deal more damage than usual.
Once Charlotte sustains sufficient damage, she will develop blue armour. She becomes immune to damage as long as her health bar is blue, hence the need not to waste your ammo. Rather, this would be an appropriate moment to loot supplies from the police cars. Go to the first police car and loot the fuel canisters from its trunk. Next, proceed to the second police car and loot the last fuel canister and ammo. Shotgun ammo can be found here as well.
As you loot supplies, exploding enemies will begin dropping from the sky into the arena. Shoot their stomachs in order to trigger explosions. Should there be two enemies that are close to each other, wait for them to come closer before shooting. This way, one explosion will take out the two enemies.
Second Phase
Charlotte will likewise pick up those enemies and hurl them at you. Watch the moves of Charlotte and make shots at those explosions of enemies. As soon as you see that the health bar of Charlotte becomes red, you can attack her. You have to use the telekinesis to hurl the fuel containers at Charlotte for damage. Make sure that you attack Charlotte when the bar turns red because attacking her when it remains blue will not be helpful.
You can lure Charlotte towards any of the police cars and shoot it to cause an explosion and set her on fire. You have to use telekinesis to hurl some flames at her after the explosion and continue attacking her with the Skull Crusher. Make sure that you always try to face Charlotte because otherwise she will pounce on you.
When you get some distance between you and Charlotte, you can use MP5 to make shots at her. You have to pay attention to the fire buildup meter. If you remain close to flames, then the meter increases, but you do not catch fire until the meter becomes full.
To conclude the battle, attract Charlotte towards the last barrel of fuel. Once Charlotte comes near enough, blast the barrel with your pistol to create an explosion. The explosion will keep burning her up and will ultimately cause her to fall down, provided she does not have enough life force left in her.
As soon as Charlotte falls on the floor, rush forward and banish her to end the fight and collect her heart. By using barrels of fuel, police cars, and telekinesis, this battle against Charlotte becomes very easy. You will also be able to save a lot of ammunition and healing items.
