It's a very annoying fight. Getting him the first time is easy. You just jump onto the nearest column, and jump on him when he's just below you. After that, throwing cans to try and distract him doesn't work, because he's always circling in front of you. If you get killed about twenty times over, eventually the game will modify its difficulty by having him move with his back to you the first time you find a hiding place. Funny how if you keep whacking him in the face, he isn't defeated, but you have to get him from behind. Two strikes from behind and he's down, but you can keep hitting him in the face and he never goes over.
Actually It works. One of the easiest bosses ever. And I played It at Survivor difficulty. I'm not even that good at videogames but Can't understand how people sruggle with this fight
Lara is an absolute monster as she stabs through Konstantin's chest plate like it wasn't there. The amount of force that would be needed to pierce a ballistic chest plate is probably super human.
If we assume that he was wearing light armor, without a steel plate inside, then this is not so incredible. It doesn't take much force to pierce soft armor with a knife.
This fight on survivor difficulty is an exercise in frustration. The movement in this game is janky to begin with, and you're expected to stealth around obstacles and get behind him. I was constantly getting snagged on the corners of pillars when trying to move around them because the game thought I wanted to take cover instead of move around it. The awareness AI on the boss seems to be increased specifically for this encounter. With every other enemy in the game, you can run up behind them and not get detected, but not with this one. Lara does a strange three-step stagger when caught in the explosion of one of the grenades, which I've never seen before in any other part of the game. This leaves you wide open to getting shot up. If you lose on survivor, you get sent all the way back to the campsite. All in all, a very poorly designed boss fight.
Literally playing it rn n im bout to rip my hair out bruh I hate the controls in this game. She'll just randomly go out of stealth mode during the fight too.
Or just throw crafted shrapnel grenades twice and melee from behind afterwards ... I thought this scene was easier than the helicopter bit and that damn flamethrower in soviet installation in pitch black😅
After 2 attempts at hardest difficulty i watched how to kill him, because was attacking him and he was still alive. After this video i beat him in like 20sec
To those who think the boss isn't great, you're supposed to use stealth tactics to perform two separate takedowns because fighting him head on will get you pelted with bullets. Use what you learned in stealth against him. I only died once and that was because I fucked up the last QTE.
@@Jazzer995 I personally think stealth is the way to go as it is the most effective way to end the fight. Plus I knew that I was supposed to use the tactics learned in stealth to kill him because it would be the quickest way as well. If I'm gonna do a boss fight, I'm gonna do it the game wants me to and do it right. Again, fighting head on is a stupid idea and gets you killed. Fight smarter, not harder.
I was literally hacking away at him with the pick axes getting no progress when i realized i was supposed to stealth attack him lol
You too huh?
@@mikemoss6045 me 3. That’s why I came here because I was baffled 😂
Forgot to mention this is my 3rd play thru 😮
Holy Shit! I just did it in about 1min!
I have been hacking away for the past 10 mins. No health bar. I just paused the game to youtube this ish
The problem with this boss is that if you die in extreme survivor you have to reset the whole chopper fight which is annoying as fuck
Fr I took me up to 7 times to defeat him ugh

Wait the game changes the difficulty???? Did not know that.

@@Curiouzity_Omega i was surprised the Y button pops out after my 100th try 😂
@@sabertoothmeowsi I surprisingly beat this guy with only a few tries. Kinda annoyed my weapon upgrades was all for nothing in the end lol.
Just crafted some explosives from the cans, a 2-shot fight
While fighting with Konstantin i swear he just phased into those rubbles twice.
I completed it after watching your video thank you.
They took away her arrow cause we’re just gonna poison arrow him 😂😂😂
Thanks for the guide but i ended up using a cup to make a flash the second phase.. worked out great.
Stupid boss fight. You can whack him a million times and doesn't die, unlike every other AI in the game

This is supposed to be a stealth boss fight, which is cool, unlike other final boss fights, yet it was difficult at the beginning
i whacked that mf at least 50 times and he didnt even bother to shoot me but he also didnt die
this is the most god awful boss fight
but best villian devopment for the survivor trilogy
After 2 attempts at hardest difficulty i watched how to kill him, because was attacking him and he was still alive. After this video i beat him in like 20sec
Man...Lara looks gorgeous

He only takes your bow. You have THREE GUNS on you. Stealth is unnecessary.

👍👍
I just crafted bombs and distracted him. Thats the easiest method
its really easy, i just made explosives with the cans 😭😭 and killed him eventually that way
Yes, this technique gets him really fast
What nationality is Konstantin
one of the worst boss fights in video game history
@One-pieceeeeeeeee i wouldn’t say satisfied id say relieved
Most annoying fight
This boss battle is BS
