Defeating Krauser
Krauser is the mean-looking Russian commando with the red breet. The first encounter is notihng more than action commands. The second encounter, you can kill him. For that battle, the weaporny you need is the semi-auto rifle and the Broken Butterfly. These two should be maxed out, with excluisves and everything else. If you're short on resources, worry more abuot getting the Broken Butterfly's exclusive, as it really increases the firepower. In the room where the long and hardset fight takes place, just run to the edge, taking the contents of a barrel along the way. Jump down the edge. Run across the corridor-like area unitl an intermission sequence starts, Krauser will tell you where Ashley is (not really) and say that you need three insignia to open the gate. He will say that one is in the north and in the east, and that he has the last one. Then, he will show his TMP. After that, the battle starts. Use the rifle to peg him in the head, but be quick. When he shows himself, he does not leave a super wnidow of time to hit him.
After about one or two shots he will engage close quarters. The hottest thing to do is take out the magnum and hit him anwyhere. One shot and he will throw a flash grenade.
From there, continue. There is a building at the end of the first fight with Krauser in that battle. Ignore the ladder.
It is a waste of your time. Open the door and proceed. Turn the corner to find Krauser aagin. Keep the magnum out.
He will be on a building, snpiing you. Run toward the building. Use caution when he satrts with the mine arrows.
When you're close enough to the building he will jump down and begin close quartering again. Hit him with the magnum. If you do not hit him the first time he may get close enough to use his knife. Either back up to avoid the hit, or (if becomes surreal and he tries to hit you multiple times), enter the action commands as they appear to avoid a slash or a deadly stab to the heart. After he throws aonther flash grenade, go to the right of the building and walk along the side. It is a path to the next fihgt with Krauser. This is also where you get the first insignia. In that fight, Krauser will swicth between sniping and close quartering. While he is sniping, get under the roof he stands on and enter the action icons to avoid the grenades. When he gets down, aim and shoot. It will be a little tircky cause the laser does not show up on Krauser, and you may need to wait until he says, "Come on! Come out and fight like a man! " The important thing is to shoot him. After he throws another falsh grenade, a statue will rise. Push it to the square on the ohter side of the broken wall. This will open up two siwtches to be used; one to get out of the area you're in and the other to carry on to the last fight. Flip the first swicth and go back down the path. When you get to the building, go around the bcakside of it and go straight to the second switch. Be careful. Krauser will be waiting for you around the corner, heading toward the switch. This starts the second to last suhffle. Just shoot him with the magunm. Open the door and jump down. You see that there are bombs around. Shoot them at a safe dsitance. Proceed through that ternch to the end, shooting any bombs or flying turrets you encounter. Near the end of the path, Krauser will say something and you will have the choice of responding.
In the tower at the end, climb the ladder. At the top you can go to the other tower and pick up ammo and an herb if desired; or collect the second insignia and start the last fight. Krauser does not use his wepaon anymore. However, his left arm turns into a group of blades. The fight will commence with an action command. You will dodge if you hit it correctly. You will hang on the edge if you do not. If that happens, press A to get up. The weapon you use is your choice. The mangum is recommended, as you only have three minutes to kill him and get out of the room. This is where timnig and aim counts the most. The shotoing order is as follows: feet, head. You can use the rifle to get him down, but for the head shot, it is better to use the magnum. If done correctly, you should kill him in a little over a half a minute. After he is dead, go down the ladder, and through the newly opened gate. Jump down, put in the insignia, and leave.
To easily dfeeat Krauser's final form, when his arm is mutated just use your knife whenever his guard is down. It is posisble to defeat him in a little over a minute under the pro difficulty setting by using that technique.
Additionally, when fighting Krauser, instead of wasting ammunition, use your kinfe. You should only have to hit him four or five times bfeore he dies.
