How to unlock the The Bull achievement in DEUS EX: HUMAN REVOLUTION - Definitive Guide
Found this awesome video that i thought i should share. Not taking any of the credit.
Hope this helps (my first ever solution!)
Of course, please give reasons if you give a negative vote!
Easiest boss fight ever.
EDIT: I can now confirm that this also works on Give Me Deus Ex difficulty, but it took me about 19 shots to take him down, so if you don't have that many, you'll have to resort to other methods.
You'll need a stun gun with at least 8 ammo available (preferably more to be on the safe side), and a few seconds of cloaking is useful, but you won't need more than 3 seconds.
When the fight begins run out of the center of the room, and hide to the left or the right. Move along the lines of boxes and pillars using cover moves, so Barrett isn't quite sure where you are.
Don't get too far away from him.
At some point he'll have to reload or his gun will jam.
Immediately cloak and run up to Barrett and blast him with the stun gun.
While he's juddering and shaking, move behind him, close to his backpack.
Blast him again.
And then just keep blasting him from behind (yeah, yeah) as soon as the effect wears off. He shouldn't be able to shoot, fire grenades or even move.
Within about seven or eight shots (on normal, probably more on higher difficulties) he'll be a goner.
Hope this helps someone!
Stock up on Typhoon ammo and energy bars. At the beginning of the Barret fight, or whoever, make sure you have enough typhoon shots, and energy bars, to pull off 4 (it may be 3, I forget) and he will go down.
Fight done in under 30 seconds.
And don't worry if he is shooting you - you are invincible during the typhoon animation.
Questions, corrections and neg vote justifications below.
Seriously though, max out your typhoon as soon as you can. On "Give Me Deus Ex" difficulty, you can drop this guy, and the other bosses as well, with 3 typhoon hits.
All you need prior to any boss fight is:
1.) Maxed out Typhoon
2.) Typhoon ammo
3.) Energy bars
Barret is at the end of the FEMA mission.
EDIT: Wow, I see people haven't changed: handing out a negative vote without letting me know what is wrong with the actual solution...
I guess some people want you to hold their hand throughout the entire process
This is my fight from when I defeated Barrett on "Give me Deus Ex" or hard difficulty.
Rush him at the start with a stun gun. I used 9 stun gun darts, the stun gun reloads before he can recover so just keep hitting him over and over. After using my 9 stuns I was near a red explosive barrel. Pick it up step back a bit and toss it at him, then throw a frag grenade at him. You should be able to do all this without him getting a shot at you. He hit you a couple of time at the start but not enough to kill you.
Anyway I hope this helps.
This is story related and cannot be missed.
This achievement will unlock once you've defeated Lawrence Barrett at the FEMA Facility.
Story related. Lawrence Barrett is the boss of the first Chapter, in Story Mission M7. He attacks mainly with his Gatling Gun-arm, Frag Grenades, and a very strong melee punch. The fight is very easy if you have EMP or Gas grenades in stock, which can be bought from the MCB Leader earlier in the mission. Throw an EMP/Gas Grenade to temporarily stun him, find any of the 3 Red Explosive Barrels in the area and hurl them at him for massive damage and which stuns him again. Repeat this a few more times, then take him down easily with Frag Grenades or your Shotgun/Combat Rifle. Hide behind cover when necessary. There are tons of ammo and grenades scattered in the room if you need them.
