Also, Chris doesn't have access to the Grenade Launcher, and he can't mix the V-Jolt used to weaken the plant, BUT if you didn't save Richard from the poison at the beginning of the game, you can actually mix it with Rebecca (and you SHOULD do it, especially if you are attempting the knife-only run with Chris, as it severely weakens it).
You can defeat the Plant by shooting/slashing the tendrils it uses to attack you. It can be hard with only the knife (I died a few times trying it), but it can be done with a few healing items and having a good position on the stairs. Be careful of its grab attacks and try to change position often and you should kill it in no time!

Also I'm pretty sure that you need to shoot him until he opens himself up, THEN he'll take damage. You'll find Plant 42 in the residence.
Take a good couple of first aid sprays with you just in case, you'll have plenty of these by this point on the lower difficulties unless you really suck, and something like the shotgun with a rook of ammo.

This is a Chris only storyline trophy. To earn this trophy you must defeat Plant 42 while playing as Chris. This fight happens in the Residence and can be made easier depending if you meet the criteria to have Rebecca make the V-Jolt to assist you. You’ll earn this trophy once the boss is dead.
See Boss Data for additional details.

There are two methods to defeating Plant 42 as Chris, unfortunately both require you to actually battle the Plant.
If you saved Richard in the Mansion with the Serum, then you will need to battle Plant 42 at full health. If you did not, then Chris will be grabbed by Rebecca and you will have to create V-Jolt to weaken the plant (see below on V-Jolt creation and use). Once this is done, you must battle the Plant at around half health.
Either way, work your best to avoid getting hit by the vines and attack the primary bulb from the second floor with heavy weapons until it dies. If using the Infinite Rocket Launcher, get to an angle where you can fire one clear shot into the bulb to defeat it.
Here's the V-Jolt method:
In the Art Gallery there is a room with a keypad on it. While there's a way of discovering what the actual combination is, it's faster to just fiddle with the combination of 3, 5, and 6 for each Eyeball. Basically, hit one of the eyes at the top and then select one of the numbers mentioned here. Try it like "3/5/6" and if that doesn't unlock, then do "3/6/5", following up with "5/3/6", etc. etc. until all combinations are tried. When you get it right, the eyes will flash and the door will unlock.
Inside are foyr jars but you only need three to make V-Jolt. Here's what you do:
- Go to the Sink and Fill 1 Jar. Go to the liquid-filled jar closest to the door to grab UMB3. Combine to create UMB4.
- Go to the opposite cabinet and grab the Yellow 06, combining it with UMB-04 to create UMB10.
- Go to the Sink and Fill 1 Jar, then fill another jar with Yellow 06 and combine them for UMB7.
- Combine UMB7 and UMB10 for V17.
- Fill one jar with UMB3 and combine it with V17 to create VJolt.
After this, head back down to the Aqua Ring and down the ladder (as the water's drained, you can't use the crates). You'll need to go the long way around here so go back through the control room and up the ladder to the walkway. Head to the inner walkway to find a door and the roots, get close and use the Vjolt to make them wither up.
