I encountered a terrifying chimera and attempted to defeat it using a mix of handgun fire and explosive gas cylinders. Despite taking damage from my own blast, I tried to burn the monster and followed up with arrows once my ammo ran out. I finally engaged in a desperate melee battle to finish the fight, but I was finished instead.
This chimera named Defect gave me a feel of fighting in a Resident Evil game because of its gruesome appearance. Its skin looked like a patchwork of different creatures, and the way it snarled made my blood run cold.
After jumping on the stone statue where the monster couldn't reach me, I started shooting it with my handgun for a moment to test its defenses. I could see the bullets sparking off its thick hide, but the creature didn't seem bothered by the small-caliber rounds.
I kept firing, hoping to find a weak spot or at least distract it while I planned a more effective way to deal some real damage.
When I understood I was not doing much from the safety of the statue, I jumped off that height to try and blast a gas cylinder. I moved quickly, keeping the central pillar between me and the chimera to avoid its attacks.
I climbed on that ledge of the wall and I shot a cylinder from there, which blew up, and it didn't just damage the monster, it damaged me as well because I was standing far too close to the explosion. The force of the blast sent a shockwave through the air, and I even fell off the ledge, hitting the hard floor with a heavy thud.
I climbed up the edge of that wall again despite the pain in my limbs to regain my tactical advantage. From there I shot down another gas cylinder which made a big blast and it looked like the monster was finally in trouble.
The monster got heavy damage for getting burned for a moment, and it stumbled blindly through the smoke-filled arena. I watched from above, hoping that the secondary explosions would be enough to finish the job.
I was hoping the monster would die with the flame on his body, but it recovered after a moment and let out a roar. I started shooting it with the leftover arrows I had as I already spent all the bullets of the handgun during the initial phase of the fight.
So, after shooting the beast with some arrows, it seemed like it was stunned for a moment. I jumped down and I started attacking it with my melee weapons, swinging with everything I had left.
But suddenly, the beast turned around and it attacked me heavily, catching me with a powerful swipe that sent me flying across the room. I landed hard. Then the monster got to kill me without giving me chance to recover.
I'll show what happens next later.
I personally took all the screenshots from my play and I used a logo of the game from online to use in the thumbnail.
