Basics of the Fight
The first thing to keep in mind is the basics of the fight. Use the boat’s harpoon to hit Del Lago when it’s above the water, and avoid hitting any obstacles as this will damage your boat. Aim carefully with L1 / LB, then throw the harpoon with R2 / RT. The monster moves quickly, so aim more to the left or right than you think you need to.
Avoid the Surprise Lunge Attack
To avoid Del Lago’s surprise lunge attack, always keep the boat moving left or right, unless there’s an obstacle directly beside you. If you fail to avoid this attack, you’ll trigger a QTE, and your boat will take more damage the longer it takes you to complete it. Unfortunately, you can’t destroy the obstacles with your spear, so always keep an eye out for them.
Aim for the Open Mouth
During the part where the monster is heading straight for you, aim for its open mouth to stop it from grabbing your boat. The mouth will open near the boat, so make sure you have your harpoon aimed in preparation. Also, remember that you can hit Del Lago when it’s jumping in and out of the water in its diving loop, which can speed up the fight.
Aim Slightly Higher for Longer Distances
One last thing to keep in mind is to aim slightly higher than you think you should when the monster is far away. The Harpoon has a steep drop off at longer distances, so this can help you hit the monster when it’s heading straight for you.
Patience and Perseverance
It might take some time, but with patience and perseverance, you’ll eventually defeat Del Lago. It took us 23 harpoon hits on Standard difficulty to finally bring this beast down. Once you’ve defeated it, you’ll complete Chapter 3 and earn the ‘Harpoon Hurler’ Trophy / Achievement if it’s your first time defeating the monster.
Conclusion
Del Lago in Resident Evil 4 Remake can be a tough challenge, but with this comprehensive guide, you’ll be able to beat this boss battle with ease. Remember the basics of the fight, avoid the surprise lunge attack, aim for the open mouth, aim slightly higher for longer distances, and most importantly, be patient and perseverant. You got this!
