After defeating (or eluding) your first Chunk<\/a> as Grace Ashcroft in Resident Evil Requiem<\/strong>, it feels liberating to take one on head-to-head as Leon Kennedy. Leon\u2019s first official encounter with this hulking behemoth is a boss fight, but luckily, he is more experienced and well-equipped than his fellow survivor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grab the MSBG 500 Shotgun <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before the fight starts, be sure to pick up the MSBG 500 Shotgun off the corpse that the Chunk is snacking on. With it, you\u2019ll be able to deal maximum damage to its head, which is its weak point. Dotted around the area are several ammo pickups for your pistol and shotgun, which you can use when your reserves are running low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Trap the Chunk in doorways to slow its movements <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just like with Grace\u2019s first encounter with a Chunk, the monster\u2019s large frame limits its movements, particularly in tight spaces. Lure the Chunk into doorways so you can temporarily immobilize it. Once it\u2019s stuck, unload all of your ammunition into its head. The Chunk will eventually break through, but these doorways (there are two of them) are a good way to trap it and deal damage without worrying about your accuracy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Use your guns and hatchet when the Chunk falls down <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Chunk will occasionally fall on its face after receiving enough damage. While the game wants you to go in for a powerful melee strike, use this opportunity to deal some extra damage with your guns before capping off with a hatchet to its face. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Broken walls and scaffolding will reveal new pathways and extra goodies <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re finding yourself low on supplies (or just want a change of scenery), you can lure the Chunk into breaking the weak walls and scaffolding around the arena. Broken walls hide ammo and health items. Broken scaffolding reveals ladders that can be climbed, which lead to more items and high vantage points.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These supplies and areas will become inaccessible after the boss fight if the Chunk does not break them, so be sure to explore the area and get it to wreak as much havoc as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll know you’ve defeated the Chunk once it starts to deflate and shouts incoherent curses at you. After it explodes, be sure to pick up the two Hand Grenades from its body that you could have used during this boss fight.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resident Evil Requiem is available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and Windows (Steam<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
