General Raam | Act V Gears of War (XBOX360) Guide

This fight can be really hard, frustrating and ubelievably long. It can also be short and take around 2 mins, but you need to meet some requirements:

What you need:

- a fully loaded Torque Bow (12 arrows);

- a fully loaded Lancer

- grenades, just in case;

- some patience

Raam plays along the following rules: when the Kryll surround him he's invincible; he sends them out from time to time but don't count on lasting that long. What is more, Raam shoots at you and a short burst from a close range will almost certainly kill you. To top it off, you can only move in the light, every step taken in the shadow means getting owned by the Kryll.

Strategy: Prepare your bow and crouch behind a barricade. When you get the chance, stick your head out and shoot an arrow at Raam. A well-aimed shot should drive the Kryll away - immediately get your Lancer out and shoot at Raam's head. After reloading swap weapons again - Kryll should be back by now. Repeat the procedure until Raam starts to get dangerously close. He rarely heads straight for your cover, usually he stands in place for a bit - you can use that to your advantage and throw some grenades at him or just shoot from the hip. When he starts going around your barricade however, immediately get to the other side of the field. Best do it in dives. Rinse and repeat. Good luck!

Update: Watch the cutscene before the battle VERY CAREFULLY.
When RAAM jumps down from the platform, you'll see a RAIL GUN installed. Now all you have to do is, as the battle begins and DOM moves forward to distract RAAM, find your way to the platform, their is a slope behind that leads to the rail gun. It will take only (MAX in my case) 30 seconds depending on your dodging and running ability. Now take the RAIL GUN and whether the KRYLL are covering RAAM or not, shoot his HEAD.
He'll die in three seconds!
