How to unlock the Completed Chapter 5 - 1 achievement in RESIDENT EVIL 5 - Definitive Guide
There's very little challenge to this mission at all. The boss - a giant Crab-spider can be killed in a single shot to the face with a rocket launcher, if you have one.
Alternatively, just pack some shotguns and a couple grenades.
Strategy: Shoot the red lump/muscle on one of its legs until it collapses. Now equip a grenade and get close to its face. Push when you get the prompt to toss it into its mouth. Do this twice and you have a weak point to fire on constantly.
If dodging is an issue then stay close to the middle of the lift and keep your distance.
Beat 5-1 on any difficulty to unlock this trophy.
Boss Fight - U-8
Before you can even move you'll have to complete a button prompt to roll out of the way. Now that that's taken care of, you'll need to crack it's shell. This can be accomplished by throwing grenades inside it's mouth, but it must be weakened first. Aim your gunfire at it's mouth while open or the weak spots on it's legs. Occasionally, U-8 will attempt to swipe you, a QTE may be required to avoid this. After enough damage has been dealt it will temporarily fall down. You'll want to quickly run up to it's mouth and press to toss in a grenade.
During the fight U-8 may climb to the top of the elevator and release a flurry of henchmen. One shot is all it'll take to down them and you'll receive ammo and/or herbs for your effort too. Keep firing at the weak spots, but don't get to close to the boss or you'll find yourself in a QTE sequence. After enough damage has been sustained, it'll temporarily fall down again. Like before, run up to it's mouth and lob a grenade inside. It's shell will now start cracking away and you can aim at the weak spot on it's head. You're in the final stage of the fight now and U-8 will become much more aggressive by regularly slamming into the elevator. Keep firing until it falls off the elevator completely.
The Vault Guardian is the first (but not the last) truly dangerous boss. U-8's claws cause great damage and can kill in one fell swoop, and the crab itself is protected by an impenetrable shell. True, for some reason the armor on the monster’s legs is full of holes, and this “design defect” must be exploited. The crab is constantly moving, beautifully destroying the “scenery”, so getting into the weak points marked in orange is not easy. We circle around the site, following the boss with the help of a mini-map, and, having chosen the moment, we begin to spray the nearest leg with a machine gun. If you manage to deal enough damage, U-8 will fall off the wall and briefly pass out with its mouth wide open.
After this, the most fun part of the fight will begin. We equip a grenade (if you don’t have it with you, pick it up in the arena), run up to the mouth and force the crab to swallow the “gift”. The explosion will take off a third of the boss’s health and a piece of his skull in addition, but will invigorate him to the fullest. We run away from the mouth and raking claws of the monster and prepare to attack the legs again. By crushing U-8's limbs twice more and feeding him a couple of grenades, you will complete this battle.
