To evade this attack you must move a safe distance away from Kaysen as soon as he begins the phrase to prevent being knocked down by the initial shock wave then stay out of the direct trajectory of the energy that&#8217;s unleashed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--SIDE IMAGE RIGHT--><\/p>\n<div id=\"right\"><img src=\"http:\/\/shshatteredmemories.com\/greenvale\/images\/wt\/doll_aim.jpg\"><br \/>\nAim at the doll<\/div>\n<p><!--\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/SIDE IMAGE RIGHT END-->Before you attack Kaysen make sure the Weather Doll in the inventory is turned upside down so Zach\u2019s health will slowly reload if he\u2019s ever hit.<\/p>\n<p>Kaysen is only vulnerable through the small doll clutched in his right hand which unfortunately is a bit hard to target at a distance so you you&#8217;ll have to get pretty close to the guy. With the magnum equipped aim at the doll\u2019s face and chest and fire only when the cross hairs form a cross. Unfortunately auto aim is useless in this situation since it will only target the large and invulnerable Kaysen and not the doll. When you\u2019ve made a direct hit you&#8217;ll see purple blood spurt from the doll and the large Kaysen howl in pain. The doll is briefly invulnerable during Kaysen\u2019s pain animation so use this time to reload your gun and only take additional shots once he has settled back down.<!--SIDE IMAGE RIGHT--><\/p>\n<div id=\"right\"><img src=\"http:\/\/shshatteredmemories.com\/greenvale\/images\/wt\/podium_corner.jpg\"><br \/>\nCram Zach into the corner<\/div>\n<p><!--\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/SIDE IMAGE RIGHT END-->If you had to purchase a Magnum from Panda Bear because you neglected to complete Side Mission #11 you may be running low on ammo by this point. Luckily there\u2019s two boxes of <span id=\"items\">[.357 Magnum Bullets]<\/span> and three boxes of <span id=\"items\">[5.56mm x 45 Bullets]<\/span> hidden within the boxes scattered around the roof of the clock tower. Kaysen may even end up breaking a few of these boxes open for you when he deploys his energy attack.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of which&#8230; his green energy attacks are pretty annoying given their frequency and the need to move a safe distance away from Kaysen to evade. Since it is hard to target the doll at a distance you&#8217;ll waste time returning to Kaysen&#8217;s side again and run the risk of a repeated energy attack before getting more than a few shots into the doll.<\/p>\n<div id=\"left\"><img src=\"http:\/\/shshatteredmemories.com\/greenvale\/images\/wt\/kaysen_diagram.jpg\"><\/div>\n<p>Fortunately there\u2019s a way to protect yourself from this attack without having to run too far away from Kaysen using the broken pillars around the perimeter of the clock tower. Since Kaysen\u2019s attack flows from his left hand cramming Zach into the corner of one pillars near the hand holding the doll should block both the initial shock wave and the resulting energy blast.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a bit hard to put into words so I&#8217;ve made a little visual diagram to explain what I mean.<\/p>\n<p>Based on Kaysen\u2019s current position Zach should be safe from the energy attack behind both Pillars #2 and #3. (Please note: you can never hide behind Pillar #1 due to the debris preventing Zach from wedging himself all the way into the corner.)<\/p>\n<p>If Kaysen shuffles too far to the left and the hand holding the doll is directly over Pillar #2 or #1 leaving no where to hide on the left side of the area you may be able to hide behind Pillars #3 or #4 but it is not guaranteed you will make it in time and you may be hit by a stray energy beam.<\/p>\n<p>This hiding behind the pillar method works best when you have have at least one or two pillars between Kaysen\u2019s left attack hand and Zach&#8230; meaning Kaysen needs to be somewhere between Pillars #3-#5. If Kaysen ends up hovering between Pillars #1 or #2 it is possible guide him towards the right side of the area by essentially running over to that side and wait for him to shuffle closer to you.<!--SIDE IMAGE RIGHT--><\/p>\n<div id=\"right\"><img src=\"http:\/\/shshatteredmemories.com\/greenvale\/images\/wt\/kaysen_fist.jpg\"><br \/>\nKaysen slams his fist down.<\/div>\n<p><!--\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/SIDE IMAGE RIGHT END--> Though honestly you probably won\u2019t have to guide Kaysen back to the right too often as he generally stays near the center of the area for most of the fight.<\/p>\n<p>Kaysen\u2019s lifebar should deplete after approximately 24 or so successful shots into the doll though it he&#8217;s a bit tougher during the Map to Psychic Spot C side mission and will take around 34 direct hits. Once this occurs he\u2019ll turn his back to Zach and hide the doll in his front overall pocket. When the doll is safely tucked away Kaysen will yell \u201cThis is the end, Zach\u201d and slam his fist into the ground and release another energy attack.<\/p>\n<p><!--SIDE IMAGE LEFT--><\/p>\n<div id=\"left\"><img src=\"http:\/\/shshatteredmemories.com\/greenvale\/images\/wt\/doll_pocket.jpg\"><br \/>\nQuickly shoot the doll!<\/div>\n<p><!--\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/SIDE IMAGE RIGHT END-->As soon as Kaysen turns equip the infinite 10mm Machine Gun. After he slams his fist down dodge the resulting energy attack then climb onto his fist and run up his arm. Once you are on his shoulder aim the gun down at his chest and spray the top of the overall pocket with bullets IMMEDIATELY. To end this fight you only need one bullet to hit the doll which is quicker to achieve with a wide spread of bullets over the entire pocket area.<\/p>\n<p>If you make it onto Kaysen\u2019s shoulder and fail to shoot the doll during a brief time window Zach will be thrown off the shoulder and back onto the floor. Kaysen will regenerate all of his life and you\u2019ll have to deplete his life bar once more before you have another opportunity at shooting the doll from his shoulder again. If you mess up the quick time sequence that appears Zach will also take damage from the fall back onto the ground.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_accordion_tab][\/vc_accordion][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row type=&#8221;full-width-section&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1437509666403{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;background-color: #5e5e5e !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;1&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full-width-content&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1441583045796{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6721&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1458003393215{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full-width-section&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1437509335281{background-color: #b5b5b5 !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;.5&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text font_size=&#8221;16&#8243; line_height=&#8221;24&#8243;] Below are my strategies for defeating the<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shshatteredmemories.com\/greenvale\/boss-strategies\/\" class=\"more\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shshatteredmemories.com\/greenvale\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6605"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shshatteredmemories.com\/greenvale\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shshatteredmemories.com\/greenvale\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shshatteredmemories.com\/greenvale\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shshatteredmemories.com\/greenvale\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6605"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.shshatteredmemories.com\/greenvale\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6605\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shshatteredmemories.com\/greenvale\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6605"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
