Description

First demon you are fighting with. It is a giant fat creature with a large hammer. At first he can scary you because of his strength but do not worry, this guide explains how to deal with him with no troubles.

Attacks and weaknesses

Asylum Demon uses his hammer and giant size. His weakness is fire - but at the beginning you won't have an access to this. Demon has following attacks:

1) Horizontal attack- it hits everything in front of him. To avoid it stay at his back.

2) Attack from above - demon raises his hammer and slams it on the ground. You can avoid this by jumping aside.

3) Fast hit - same as above but faster.

4) Body slam - demon floats up and hits the ground. Move back to avoid damage.

Tips

1) Do not stand in front of the demon - if you stay behind the beast, you increase your chances several times.

2) Do not aim the enemy - aiming system in this fight disturbs you. Yes, we know that the game suggest using this, but sometimes it is really good not to use it. In this way you'll be more mobile and have greater control over your character.

3) Do not panic - this is first big fight, so it is easy to panic. The beast seems to be powerful but if you fight with it calmly, you'll win. This boss can be really defeated.

Tactics

At the beginning, you'll find yourself above the enemy. In this situation you can use the special move of your character and inflict huge damage. Aim the beast, jump over him and hit while in the air.

After mighty firs blow you have to apply simple tactics - turn off aiming and run behind his back.
