Evil West

Most of evil mode is self explanatory if you do it on New Game +. Besides some getting used to how fast you lose health, you should be getting up to the last four missions or so without much trouble. The biggest pain point is Felicity, and after just beating her I want to give some tips.

1. Your perk selection is essential to winning this fight. You MUST have the following:

Life Support (found in a chest)
On the Spot
Vital Superpowers
Death defied
Adrenaline Junkie (found in a chest)
Extra Juice
Amp Snack (3rd Upgrade for Agent Tools)

By the time I reached Felicity on my second play through, I was level 30 and had discovered all the chests with perk points in them, so there were only a few I didn’t have, and they didn’t suit my play style at all.

These perks are essential because what you’re going for is having a lot of energy that you can use for healing (amp snack), which you get from shooting weak spots.


2. When I got to felicity, my weapons were al maxed out besides like two upgrades. If you followed a guide and got all the cash on your first playthrough, you only really need to get whatever cash is on your path, or that you remember, on your second play through to have enough for this. Definitely have the bombs and shotgun maxed out, as these are your big damage dealers. I would also recommend having the crossbow maxed out, because it’s faster than the rifle, allowing you to dodge easier. I also found the flamethrower to be helpful, since it would do residual damage when I wasn’t hitting her.

3. The basic combat loop is hitting felicity with whatever weapons have been recharged as soon as they get ready, but not sacrificing yourself to do so. Her first phase is easily the most difficult, and that’s because there’s only one point where you can shoot a weak spot for energy, and it comes fast and not often. The key during the first phase is patience. You’re going to feel like you’re not doing all that much damage, and you’re not, but just throw the bombs whenever you can, and when she winds up to hit the ground, dash in for a shotgun blast before rolling away. Keep an eye out for that weak point, as it will give you much needed energy (healing) if you can hit it.

4. Once you’re done with her first phase, congrats!! You’ve officially done the hardest part of the game (in my opinion). The reason the next phases are easier is because they have more weak spots.

In the second phase, felicity will no longer launch flaming waves at you, and will instead leap at you and run at you, leaving flaming trails in her path. This last move is what you want to keep an eye on. She will run at you four times, then stop to recover. These are not fun to dodge, but when she’s done, it is a perfect opportunity for bombs, shotgun blasts, and the flamethrower.

After getting her health low enough, she will leap onto the wall and start causing boulders to fall down from the sky. More importantly though, she will have three weak spots for you to shoot and get energy from! She will do this twice before coming off of the wall, and that’s a good time to use your supermove. Rinse and repeat that until you get to the third phase.


5. The third phase is the easiest! Why? Because when you stun felicity with your Y button move and attack her, you immediately go into a mini cutscene where you hit her a bunch. This also drops energy which you can use for a supermove afterwards. She has several throwing attacks that have weak points to shoot at, and for the rapid fire throwing one she does, you can wait behind the rubble that has fallen.

My strategy for this was honestly to wait for my stun to get ready again and by that point she was mostly dead. There’s a point where she does a big explosion and afterward goes into the stun animation, so about three of those and your constant attacks should do her in.


6. This fight is FRUSTRATING!! It took me about 45 minutes to complete it, and if you’re not full health she can probably one shot you. Be patient, try not to get overwhelmed, and pay attention to her patterns. With some time and commitment, you can wipe her out and get that evil play through achievement!
