Gears of War Game Tips & Hints

Meh, I believe that is the first Beserker battle.  You gotta get her to chase you to the room with the big door.  Get in front of the door and make noise so she charges and roll out of the way so she breaks through the big door.  Eventually you will break your way outside(i think after 3 doors) into a big garden.  You will then need to use the hammer of dawn to stun the berserker.  It will be stunned/vulnerable for a few seconds so attack it with everything you got.  You will have to repeat the hammer of dawn stun & attack process a few times before you defeat the Berserker.  Be careful of your partner dying as they sometimes just stand there and get plowed into and really sucks if they die and you made process.

Dont bother shooting it unless you stun it with the hammer of dawn.  it wont be hurt unless it is stunned/vulnerable.

Yeah stand in front of the door and lure it with gunfire if it's attacking your partner instead of you.  When it charges you, roll out of the way and it'll crash through the door.  I believe there are 3 or 4 doors to crash through before you were outside. 

Usually your partner catches up as long as he isnt laying waiting for medical attention.  You dont need your partner to complete it, but obviously if he is around to help shoot the berserker while it's stunned then it gets defeated quicker.....but yeah your partners sometimes are dumb as rocks and get in the way.

Sometimes your partner dies, sometimes they are hurt and awaiting for you to revive them.  But it does suck when you make progress and someone dies and you have to go all the way back and redo it.  frustrating.

jmh took your advice and FINALLY managed to get past the bastard. Was really easy to killer her but getting past her now that was a challenge. Thanks. Hopefully others will have tips and or help for Gears of War. Share your tidbits if your a gears of war player

Side tip on Berserker battles. If you've got a Lancer just rev the chainsaw repeatedly, it will get her attention and you'll save the ammo.

Without giving anything away, the Berserkers are just the start in a stream of annoying enemies you'll have to deal with.

Can't wait for Gears 2.

Not to promote another site Meh, but, gamefaqs.com has always helped me out with codes and walk throughs when i needed it.

side note one thingi really love about gears of war is the health system. I like how you get beat down but if you duck and cover for awhile your health builds back up. It makes for a much nicer gameplay experience. You dont spend time running around chasing health power ups!

Raam is the final boss.  You are almost done with the game Meh.    Best strategy is IGNORE EVERYTHING.  Dont worry about your partner and keeping him alive, ignore the chopper, and all other distractions.

When you head out, you dont want to run around, just hide behind the barrier right in front of you.  Its got lights so staying there will protect you from kryll and is a good place to hide when your health gets low.

I found this battle easiest if you have the torque bow.  If you do, shoot him with it.  When the torque bow arrows explode the Kryll fly away.  Once they leave him just light his ass up with another weapon, preferably the lancer.  If you dont have the torque bow, then use grenades as they have the same effect and make the kryll scatter.  When the kryll are gone, i would aim for his head.  Try and use active reload a lot because doing this successfully causes more powerful bullets. 

If you dont have the torque bow or many grenades, this take a lot longer.  You have to wait for the kryll to leave him and attack you.  Stay in the light behind the barrier and they wont hurt you but it's a bitch waiting for him to walk through lights causing the kryll shield to leave him. 

Obviously Raam makes his way towards you, so when he gets too close, jump the barrier you are hiding behind and run down the center of the train to the identical barrier at the other end.  There are lights through out the center of the train so running in the center will ensure the Kryll wont attack you.  Just repeat hiding behind the barriers at both ends and focus on attacking Raam. 

Just be patient.  It may take you a whole bunch of tries to do this.  Best thing you can do is watch your health.  Duck back behind the barricade a lot so you dont die.  Just work on kicking his ass when the kryll arent around and eventually you will get him.  Good luck.

Well I just beat this game the other day and to be honest when I first picked this up I really didn't understand the appeal.. The learning curve, at least for me, was HUGE. I mean I got killed at almost every turn no matter what I did..

Soon however I started to finally get the hang of the cover mechanic and realized that they pretty much always force you into cover.. Still even with that in mind I got owned more times than I can count.. At some points it wasn't even fun to play.. But at the end of the game I will say I am glad I beat it..

All in all its not that bad.. I'm just curious why the franchise has SO many fans.. I mean this thing seems like it is so huge..
