GOW - General RAAM - stuck

I usually like to figure these thing out myself but I must admit I am stuck.

Using both the bow and sniper I must have hit him square in the dome 6 times. How many hits does it take?

Tell Dom to cease fire. That will cause him to not charge and die. Then if you stay in the light, the Kryll cannot get you, and as long as you are in cover, neither can RAAM. It may take a while but keep going. Don't use the machine gun because there is no light.

BTW, it is a lot easier in Co-op because one person can stay in the light and distract RAAM without being killed, while the other person shoots RAAM when he's not looking.

I'm on wimpy casual and I am the only one here so Co-op is not an option

Well I just got off 6 clean shots to his face with the sniper, no dice, then he is on me and I am dead

In comparison to the rest of the game, especially on casual, RAAM is 10x as hard. Just remember to stay in cover and if he comes towards you, run away from him and find new cover in the light. And make sure you tell Dom to cease fire or drop back or whatever it's called.

10x as hard, gotta agree with that.

Do body shots count or do you need to go for the head?

I have done this between 50-100 times, getting tired of it.

Body shots work, just not that well.

Throw a grenade at him, hit him with the bow at least twice (body shot will do)

If you have the revevolver just aim at his head and unload all your ammo. Use the sniper rifle when you can.

I'm at the point where I can beat General RAAM everytime now (w/o co-op). I do not use the bow or sniping rifle, they are too slow. I don't want to spoil it for anyone so PM me if you want to know how I do it.

Just went back and forth on the train from one end to the other 3 times, longest I have lasted but still dead

Never really tried the revolver, will give it a shot, pun intended, thx

Finally

I think I started this on Sunday, thought maybe I was missing some uber-weapon at first.

This is what worked.

Bow with 6 rounds
Sniper with lots of rounds
3 grenades
revolver

Started at first barricade, told whats his name to cease fire.

Hit RAAM with a bow to get rid of the bats, then got 3-4 clean shots to his head with the sniper.

Then he started advancing.

Once he got to the barricade I got off a few blind shots with the revolver, then headed to the barricade by the mini gun. For some reason whats his name was already there.

Hit him again with the bow to get rid of the bats, then got 1-2 shots to his head with the sniper.

Then he started advancing.

Whats his name died.

Once he got to the barricade I got off a few blind shots with the revolver again, then headed to the first barricade.

From the first barricade got 1-2 shots with the sniper, then he started advancing.

Once he got to the barricade I got off a few blind shots with the revolver, then headed back to the barricade by the mini gun.

From there I think I got 1-2 shots with the sniper, then got a clean shot to his unprotected head with the bow and that did it.

I was also careful when running back and forth not to use the A button, it has a tendency to try and take cover and will get you stuck on the side of something in RAAM's line of fire.

Thanks all for the help!
