@@RockyLight After not playing the original Prototype in years I decided to buy it on PS4 for the heck of it, and there's a web of intrigue memory early in the game where it's implied that human Mercer had anti-social problems and was even a bit of a sociopath.
When have you know humanity to be hero’s of anything ☠️ we are monsters so the “virus” version of Alex wasn’t more human it was just the better one with the better logic
If anyone sees this in the future and is replaying this game or playing it for the first time and you're having a hard time fighting this boss, just spam air critical pain devastator cause it does a lot of damage to the supreme leader and you're in the air so its hard for him to hit you
I am good example of what you you said in your comment. I used to be scared and run away from the Supreme Hunter's tendril barrage devastator, now I find his tendril barrage devastator laughably easy to dodge and to get damaged quick using the Whipfist's street sweeper.
I mean I just took advantage of what fodder I had around me and just yeeted them into oblivion, even the choppers I would just dive bomb into the Supreme hunter and bounce out.
I don't think its too late to say it. This is hands down the best and most aware game play I have ever seen. People barely notice running is much faster than flying (if you have to go straight); but you Perfectly knew it and used all the best possible ways there is. Really loved it and if time allows I would see all your Prototype and other videos (even if I have completed the game already).
Tip From DeathCrow: When Supreme Hunter got stunned, equip Whipfist and use charged Street Sweeper on him, cuz the more hitbox they are, the more damage the Street Sweeper do.
Fuck that game, it was the biggest middle finger to the first game and the fans. Alex Mercer was done very dirty and replaced by a stereotypical angry black man who by all means shouldn't have been able to power up as quickly as he did to be able to not only defeat Mercer but consume him. All because of a terrible and badly written comic where Mercer was influenced by the actions of a very small handful of people.
Alex Mercer is "Extremely High Resistance To "Thermal Radiation & Nuclear Fusion/Fission" Survive A Nuke With No Damaging Effects From Radiation. And Has Gone Through Manipulation Of Radiant Energy. The Aftermath To The Nuclear Didn't Really Effected Alex Mercer Him Much After Regeneration.
@@Lilpolack well Heller was overpowered too he's a special soldier with some experience in fighting and has been into war before he got the virus, while regular Mercer is just a scientist
What most people don't get is that the Huge Blade weapon thing that Mercer used to pound on the Supreme Leader is actually OP as hell. It has a final upgrade that allows you to slice down hunters and hunters and cause serious damage from the air, you basically slice em down from the Air. It one-shots normal hunters, and tanks and does massive damage to bosses and tougher enemies. It's even more powerful than the Hammer Hands and you could easily take down the Supreme Hunter with it instead of running around throwing missiles at it.
Everyone: Spam throwing things at Big mutated guy or spam Critical Pain Meanwhile DeathCrow: Drive a helicopter and use the spinning blades and deals a shirt ton of damage
I tried without the muscle mass upgrades and viola instant regret. took me like an hour to whittle down his health to the point where the soldiers would leave and then i'd lose because i couldn't kill him fast enough. Whats worse is that once you start that mission you can't quit it so if you don't have the EP to buy those upgrades you're screwed
Best tactic i found was rocket launcher + throwable objects use the launch when he's chasing you to stun him takes about 5 shots in normal difficulty then when he does that devastating attack throw objects at him
I'm trying to do this on hard and it is insane. I can't finish him off in 2 mins. I barely do any damage to his hp and 2 hits from him is instant death
I'm not too sure about this but I think the easiest way to kill him is just use the whip fist and then I think you have to hit him multiple times in his chest and then sometimes he'll be stunned so you can grab them and do damage. Edit: I am completely wrong just search up a guide on it and you'll see I'm wrong apparently you have to do something along the lines of getting as much Health as you can equipping the heavy armor and blade and basically just attack him with the blade to stun him and use the critical pain Devastator REALLY up close to do a lot of damage.
There's a whipfist glitch where you can deal a ton of damage if you charged the whipfist's streetsweeper. Instead of climbing in his back when he is stunned, get close to him and charged the streetsweeper. See how satisfying it is seeing those blue damage indicators going "pop pop pop" while his health bar melts rapidly lol.
To be honest the moment he started to contact you secretly is also when you gain knowledge about pariah. I had a huge suspicion about him, especially knowing he killed a runner on his own and went 1 on 1 with mercer equally. The further the game, the more I started to believe that he was green son pariah
@@TheStatisfiedOne No Captain cross is not Pariah . A soldier exchained reinforced by a strain of blacklight virus Dx -1120 .Supreme hunter kill and consume Captain Cross an took on his form .

@@jeffy2747 yeah because in prototype 1 we can attack the boss by our own but in prototype 2 we only can attack on command like when Alex does that, we must press this hahh so annoying
@@ilostmyfaithinhumanityandi6651 cuz when you fight mercer you can feel the fight the music the fight when mercer uses his combos from the first game, the purpose of the fight and it being part of the story, etc..... But brother don't forget that this is mercer you're fighting the original prototype.
So wait then what was the beginning of the game all about where he had all the powers and was fighting the military and the monsters I don't get it or do I have to finish the all the left over missions to get to that point?
That moment is just before the final fight, then Mercer begins his retrospective on the whole event. Up until this point you're playing through flashbacks.
He let James won its so obvious the fact that why didn't he just absorb him like the others that he turned into a virus like him. After all Alex manage to survive a nuclear bomb that erase all of his blood and body parts with his ability called "biomass".
I know I'm late but i think that the evil Alex Mercer is a clone like a starfish one of Alex's body parts regenerate into another Alex that was the evil Alex mercer the real Alex is still alive when the crow consumed Alex's flesh it turned into Alex maybe there is a another crow that turned into evil Alex Mercer
I think you have to hit him in a certain spot on his chest and then if he staggers by a hits on the chest then you're on the right track it's easier to do that with whip fist.
You have to land several attacks in quick succession. You know you're doing it right when he momentarily staggers. Keep it up, and he'll get stunned. I'm not entirely sure about this, but it seems like it isn't affected so much by the actual damage of the attacks but more on how many hits you can land on him in a second. Uncharged Claws seems to be better than charged Blade attacks, for instance.
@@biofriik so I actually beat him on normal by literally grabbing everything i could and throwing it at him since for some reason he wouldnt get stunned nor would he stagger
Such an epic and cool fight completely ruined by the timer. It would be an awesome sequence of using all you abilities to fight it. But they had to ruin it by a timer to find ways to cheese it. 😢
Well I've played this game after prototype 2 .At every moment of playing this game I was telling Alex why are you trying so hard man you will die in the next game😂😂😂
Actually, yes. Alex Mercer is still alive after James Heller consumes him in Prototype 2's ending, when you consume someone you get their biomass, memories etc but they aren't technically dead that's why Alex Mercer in the 1st game talked about hearing voices and screaming from the people hes consumed which means that at any point after the end of Prototype 2, Alex Mercer can kill James Heller and consume so he's still alive
Just played this particular boss fight last night. I played Prototype 12 years ago but I didn't even reach Elizabeth Greene, so it's my first time doing that. I fought that shit for like 7 times. My strategy was really weird. On my first few tries, I tried manhandling him with brute force (e.g. just slicing away like a berserker) and it did me no good. Cross can tear up 25% of the health bar in one claw swipe. Worse, he can even do his own devastator attacks so head on fighting is a no-no. I used the devastators to win this fight. Since I'm not at full health, I have to eat a few soldiers to get that blue bar, but Cross will make sure you won't eat in peace. So I had to run around while eating. After securing a safe spot, I unleashed a tendril barrage which stunned Cross. Now, you can grab and ride Cross while slicing away at him. He will eventually throw you out so you can't really do this in quick successions. Eat-Dodge-Tendril-Grab-Attack, that was the combination I used. It was a lenghty fight but it worked. Blade or Claw power is I think the best for this because Cross is still a Hunter, so these are his weaknesses. I also don't recommend using the full body biomass armor as it will slow you down and you will still get killed by Cross' tendril barrage.
Perfectly Balanced as All Things Should be cross = the supreme hunter himself. Pariah is just a codename. Hè was hiding his form from the military. Explains how hè killed a runner on his own and went 1 on 1 with mercer and survived
It's ironic how the blacklight virus version of "Mercer" itself ended up being more human than the real Alex Mercer ever was.
