How to unlock the Completed Chapter 1 - 2 achievement in RESIDENT EVIL 5 - Definitive Guide
This is story related and unmissable. However, it can be tricky due to the boss at the end.
If you struggle with the boss it has a weakness to fire. Bomb it, shoot it's glowing weak points, or use the exploding containers.
Alternatively trap it in the oven near the end for an instant kill (on lower difficulties).
Note: The oven requires the right timing but it's not that difficult.
Beat 1-2 on any difficulty to unlock this trophy.
Boss Fight - Uroboros
You'll start the fight by falling back to a room containing an incinerator. Stay on the left side of the room and don't move too fast or Uroboros may move down the right side instead or split and re-spawn. Once you're locked in the room run through the incinerator to the other side of the room. There will be a lever that will close the incinerator doors and fire it up, however, the doors close slowly, so you'll want to activate it before Uroboros gets inside or it'll get out before the doors close. It may take a few attempts to get the timing right.
If you decide to take the guns blazing approach instead, which is not recommended at this point in the game, Uroboros will drop a Gold Ring.
Ouroboros is the first boss in the “brute force won’t help, you’ll have to improvise” series. Being an ethereal pile of tentacles, he didn’t care about bullets and grenades. At best, you can slow it down by hitting the bulging orange bubbles. But it is impossible to kill him this way - having lost all the bubbles, the boss will disintegrate for a few seconds... and will reassemble, fully recovering. We'll have to take advantage of Ouroboros's weak point - vulnerability to fire.
Without wasting time on the battle, we run to the boiler room - there the stove is already waiting for us. But you can’t just push a slug in there - he’s agile, and the doors of the “crematorium” close in about ten seconds.
Someone must lure the boss into the danger zone by running clockwise around the room and have time to pull the switch. Live players can pull off this trick in a couple of minutes. Having slowed down Ouroboros with the explosion of a couple of cylinders, we distribute responsibilities. One is on duty at the switch, and the other monitors the boss’s movements (especially when he disintegrates and grows in a new place in order to reduce too much distance). After this, the second one runs into the oven, shoots at the slug while the doors are closing, and jumps out at the last moment. If there is a misfire and the boss also managed to jump out, we make a couple of circles around the room until the “crematorium” recharges.
If you're playing against a computer, the fight will be a little more difficult. Computer Sheva can’t really distract Ouroboros or start the furnace, so he’ll have to do everything himself. We slow down the boss, together with our partner we do a “lap of honor” around the room (don’t look away from him too much - remember about “teleportation”!), and, being next to the switch, force Sheva to pull it. Either hit Ouroboros through the window, or simply stand at the exit, blocking the opening, and shoot at the boss (just don’t miss the moment the door closes).
