How to unlock the Snake Charmer achievement in Rango - Definitive Guide
Every so much damage you will fight some minor enemies until you go back at it with the snake. Fend them off and pick up health hearts.
You will be on a platform area while Jake is moving around in front of you from the edge. There are 2 main parts to this fight that he will repeat:
While he is still over the cliff moving around, he will roar at you and this is your cue to start unloading into him as fast as you can to get as many hits in before he stops. After he roars, he will then move around and pick a spot to slam his body down against the ground sending out a shock wave around that area. Once you see where he is going, just move out of the way as fast as possible to avoid it. He will then repeat those 2 steps until you've unloaded enough rounds in to him at which time he will just fall over then and be dazed (stars above his head). This is when you really want to lay into him to do damage.
Once he wakes up, he will disappear from the screen and enemies will begin to appear on your platform area. Every so often, Jake will pop up from the ground to do an attack (signified by a circular sand area). Avoid these attacks by staying out of the radius of the sand circle and focus on eliminating the enemies.
After that he will return to the first step again, so repeat the steps there. Once you finish that part, he will do something different in the second half. Instead of disappearing and attacking from the ground, he will put his tail up and start firing bullets at you from it every so often. Stick with the same strategy of avoiding his attacks and focusing only on the enemies.
When that step is complete, he will return to the first actions again, only this time, he will ground slam twice before he roars. Once you stun him and fire at him this time, he will fall and the trophy will be yours!
Story related and cannot be missed.
This boss fight is at the end of level 6 and it shouldn't give anybody too much trouble. To dodge most/all of Jake's attacks simple run from right to left or vice versa. To hurt Jake you have to wait until he roars or he is lying down stunned and then shoot him as fast at you can. After you hurt him enough, you have to kill his minions to be able to hurt him again. They should drop items to replenish your health which helps out a lot. After a while of repeating this, you will beat him and the achievement will unlock.
