Macgruder


How the Hell do you beat him?

reply

Use the dynamite bow on the natural gas vents before he steps on it.

And for the second part use Quickdraw to shot his dynamite in the air.

Use the sniper rifle and go in first-person-mode (push down on right analogue stick for PS2) and shot him in the head a few times, he'll then run up on to a cliff.

Go over where the 2 whiskey bottles are on the left side of the cavern.

Now you have to get him angry so he'll throw dynamite at you.

Use you're rifle and go in first-person-mode again and shot him in the head, he'll then throw dynamite at you.

Quickly go into quick draw mode and you'll see those red triangles pointing left or right tap on the analogue stick so you can shoot at the dynamite which should explode when you shoot them, then repeat.

If you do it correctly you'll knock down the 2 stone columns that go up to the cavern's roof.

Then you will have to repeat shooting him in the head making him throw dynamite and shoot the dynamite.

Just be careful for any stray dynamite that you don't shoot at in time.

OK... I got to Macgruder and finally figured out how to shoot fire arrows at the methane pools to diminish his health.

The next part is what baffles me. I was positioned in the back, opposite of him and was able to get some shots off to anger him so he threw his dynamite pack out. I activated my quickdraw and shot it. The problem was that this happened at least 15 times, and still no cavern collapsing.

Am I missing something? Like I said, I was shooting the dynamite bunches in the air and it was causing the cave to rumble and even some rocks from the ceiling started to fall. Do I just need to keep being persistent? 15 times seems a bit excessive.

The most annoying part was that there were at least 10 waves of 2-3 of Macgruders militia that would come in and attack me. I finally gave up and went back to do some more side missions, but I'm going to have to face him eventually.

Any suggestions?

I haven't played the game in a while so I hope I'm correct.

There's 2 columns holding up the roof on the left and right side of the cavern. You have to shoot at the dynamite when it's thrown at you as close to the columns as possible.

OK... that makes sense. As I said before, I was almost smack dab in the middle (nowhere near either column). I will give it a go later on and let you know how it turns out. Thanks!

YES... We did it!

Thanks for the advice. In a nutshell, I positioned myself so that Macgruder would toss the bundled dynamite in such a way that I could blast it, causing detonation and damaging either pillar to each side of Macgruder.

Then I posditioned myself in the middle, far back opposite of him and blasted the bombs at their highest point to bring the ceiling down on him.

It was quite a relief. Thanks for the advice.

Position yourself right below him. He can't shoot you if you are very close. Then what you do is you go to quickdraw mode and shoot him in the face as many times as you can. He will then get mad and throw the big dynamite at you. You then shoot the big dynamite with your rifle.

4 times it takes on hard mode.

I tried defeating Macgruder far away from him and he kept shooting me dead within a few seconds. I really thought he was impossible to beat.

You really have to position yourself right below him. And the only way to get him to throw the big dynamite towards you is to use quick draw mode and shoot him in the face.
