How to defeat Cynthia Weaver in Alan Wake 2
Cynthia Weaver is back and badder than ever in Alan Wake 2, literally! Unlike the original Alan Wake, Cynthia Weaver is out for blood and won’t stop until she’s beaten. Defeating her is much easier said than done, but luckily you’re in the right place if you’re battling her!
As with most enemies in games, there isn’t really a foolproof, 100% effective way to take him down. However, by follow these steps and keep these tactics in mind during the fight, you shouldn’t have too much problem defeating Cynthia:
- Cynthia is incredibly fast and sneaky when in the water.
- During the first phase of the fight, Cynthia will hide in the water, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike. She is almost completely silent and stupid fast, so try to stay out of the water as much as possible when you can.
- There is a handful of piles of debris scattered throughout the area; climb on it and watch her in the water so she can’t surprise you.
- While keeping your distance from Cynthia, head towards the rusty fence at the water’s edge. Walk along it until you find a hole in the wall and go through it.
- Don’t let your guard down yet, Cynthia can still get to you. Try not to stay in the water for too long and make sure to climb on debris and other solid surfaces when you can.
- Continue through the new area until you find the generator and turn it on.
- You really can’t miss it, it’s huge.
- Once the generator is turned on, return to the original area and turn on the pump; it should drain all the water from the room.
- Go down the spiral staircase next to the center console until you reach the bottom. After a few moments, your surroundings will change and the whole room will fill with water (thanks to Cynthia), and your real fight will begin.
- Don’t panic when this happens. Just try to steel yourself and make sure you’re fully healed before you reach the bottom of the stairs.
- Once Cynthia appears, she will be extremely vulnerable to your attacks, but she will also be extremely fast with her own. Attack her as often as possible while avoiding her attacks.
- Cynthia’s attacks are strong, but they are also predictable. She tends to attack in a straight line and only on what is directly in front of her.; try not to stay in one place for too long and zigzag around the room when you can.
- try avoid slower weapons, like the crossbow. Cynthia’s main strength is her speed, so try to use any weapon at your disposal.
- Cynthia’s weakest point is her head, so aim every attack there to make your shots count.
- Once her health becomes extremely low, she will stop floating and resort to attacking you while standing. While she is in this state, unload on her as much as possible and try not to let her touch you; it may be weakened but it still hits like a truck.
