I need some pointers for this bugger. Obviously I know how to kill him because of Casual and Hardcore....but Insane is well, insane! I've done all of Insane single player with patience, but I cannot beat this guy. I can barely get a shot off before his troika tears me apart.
why do you have to do it by yourself? no friend or online co-op? well if you must then you must, but its the hardest boss on the hardest level for a reason lol. my advice would to do what the usual plan is, but try and do it yourself. Torque bow, sniper, grenades when he gets close. that's all i can think of, that or the troika.
If you don't have the torque by RAAM, replay the act, because you'll need it.Get the sniper as you're second weapon. Scatter the kryll with the torque, headshot with the sniper. Rinse and repeat, pulling perfect active reloads every time. Other than that, equip yourself with some free time and saintly patience. You'll need it.

I can barely pull off a head shot, and the fugger is ripping me a new one. How many shots does it take to kill him???
Torque bow is useless against RAAM on insane. Sniper & shotty is the way to go, and of course full nades will help. If you can get to the gatling gun, it's probably your best hope, (especially if Dom is still alive to take the brunt of the fire, but chances are he'll just die immediately). Get ready to just do it over & over again.Â
So it is possible to get to the turret? Any idea how many shots it takes to kill him??DarcLoccus
Don't bother - you'll get torn apart by the kryll. Use the sniper rifle and grenades for as long as you can. When RAAM gets close, blind fire the shot gun.

Invite a friend over.
2 people I know did it when RAAM got stuck somewhere, so getting him was easy as pie. Perhaps that will happen to you...
I done it by myself, basically you need at least 11 tourke bow rounds, blast him with these to start with then keep at least 4 greanades handey, whenever the krill are away friom him while hes at a distance just shoot him with the pistol if you have used up all your torke bow bullets, once he gets cloer lob all the grenades at him theen just keep unloading shotgun bullets into him, it will take a while and a load of attempts but thats how I did it, i tried going with sniper and torke bow but that didnt work well for me.

The torque is NOT useless against RAAM. It was my main means of beating him on Insane. How I did it was I grabbed the Longshot, I already had the Torque bow but got the ammo for it so I had full ammo on it and had 4 Grenades. Stayed at the first wall the whole time. If the Kryll went away I shot him with the Longshot and hid again. As he got closer I blindfired some Grenades over the wall. As he got still closer I blindfired the Torque bow into him. He came around to my side of the wall, so I hopped the wall and put my back to the other side. Kept blindfiring the Torque Bow. All in all it took me about 11 Torque Bow shots, 2 Grenades and 2 Longshots and Raam went down. Torque Bow is awesome against RAAM due to the fact it'll do damage even if he's protected by his kryll shield.
I beat raam on insne on my 2nd try alone in about 3 minutes. Torque bow, 2-3 head shots, torque bow, 2-3 head shots, he came too close, ran around the outside to the other end of the train, torque bow, 2-3 head shots, grenaded him, 2 torque bow shots, ran to the other end of the train, torque bow and 2 headshots and he was dead.
Well, I think the glitch is fixed because I just tried it like 15 times. Each time he just walks around the block. As far as the torque, I barely charge itand I'm dead. I have to call BS on finishing it alone second try in 3 minutes. Ya right guy.
Yeah I can't run to the other end of the train on insane, I get downed by Raam way too quickly. I did it in co-op, but what we did is I would torque bow, my dad would use the longshot, and when he got close I spammed grenades and he was blindfiring with the lancer. He went down eventually :) You could probably use mostly the same tactics when fighting him alone.
I beat him using the block glitch. It took me a lot of tries because sometimes he will just walk around. Also if you blind fire the torque bow wrong you will explode when he is stuck on the block. It takes a lot of practice to get all the pieces to fall into place.

So the glitch doesn't always work. I'm at 18 tries now, and he walks around the blocks everytime.

Do this...Its not that hard. Run around the outside to the right, then hide behind the block in front of the turret, cuz there is light. Then when he gets close, go back to your original spot. Just do that until he is dead.
I didn't move the kryll I waited for when he sent them, then perfect active reloads - just don't use the scope, use your reticle and try for headshots (the perfect reloads are important)Â - when he got close I blindtossed all four grenades then blindfired until he was coming around the corner - then jump the barricade and make for the back of the turret where there's just a little bit of light to keep the kryll from killing you and resume sniping
it took 30-40 tries I think but that finally worked

QUOTE]You-re funny. Anyways, I finally got him to stay at that block........and unbelievable!!! I ran out of ammo twice!! He didn't die. Co-op it is I guess Don't give up man...you'll get it eventually. Trust me, I spent days trying to beat him, but I eventually got it. It's SUCH a great feeling when you do beat him, especially knowing that you did it by yourself. If you've only tried 20-30 times, then trust me, you haven't tried hard enough.

This one is taking the piss.
All you need is the torque bow.
Get perfect reloads and you´ll kill RAAM within 12 shots. ( with a bit of practise, you´ll be able to kill him before he makes his way down to you)
It takes patience and time. It takes a while to beat him but believe me, once you do, it feels awesome! I done it with a Torque Bow and Longshot. I just done it the standard way i.e. Torque Bow to get him clear if the kryll are with him, pop up and get a headshot. You need to be fast in what you do. When he comes down for you, i ran up to the other end and repeated. That would be the hardest bit because he would just slaughter me as i was running. Thats why it takes time and patience. Don't worry, just stick at it and you will beat him and you will feel so good for doing so.

I just beat Gears last night on hardcore with a partner of course and it was pretty tough I cant even comprehend fighting him on insane those kryll will suck your blood out in 2 seconds grenades and a shotgun is your best bet though and try to blast him when he is wide open with little to no kryll around him!!!
