Dead Island 2
Dead Island 2 is an action role-playing game developed by Dambuster Studios and published by Deep Silver, released on April 21, 2023, for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. It serves as a sequel to the 2011 video game Dead Island and the third major installment in the Dead Island series, set about 17 years after the events of the first two games.
The game is unique as it takes place in the quarantined cities of Los Angeles and San Francisco which have been hit by the zombie outbreak. Initially announced in 2014, Dead Island 2 had a tumultuous development period due to various changes in the development teams.
Yager Development was initially hired to develop the game in 2012, but they were removed from the project in 2015. Sumo Digital then took over development but was also removed, with Dambuster Studios, an internal studio of Deep Silver, becoming the developers in 2019. Despite these setbacks, the game was eventually released on the announced platforms.
How to Beat Alesis Hernandez in Dead Island 2?
One effective approach to defeat Alesis Hernandez in Dead Island 2 is by utilizing hit-and-run tactics. Since Alesis is a formidable zombie that can spew bile and hurl projectiles at you, it's best to sneak behind him and repeatedly attack him. Although he has a strong defense, he is slower than Becki the Bride, the previous boss. However, he compensates for his sluggishness with a barrage of projectile attacks. To succeed in the fight, it's essential to learn all of his moves and how to counter them.
Puke Spray
One of Alesis's attacks is Puke Spray, where he sprays his bile in an arc around him. This attack can hurt you over time, as the puke contains Caustic X. To avoid it, step back when he vomits and avoid walking on the puke. You can also go from the side to get behind him and land a few hits.
Caustic Spit
Alesis's Caustic Spit is a massive cannonball-sized attack that does Area of Effect damage. It can be challenging to counter, but the best way to avoid it is by dodging multiple times and getting away from it. Keep a safe distance from Alesis to avoid this attack.
Grab Attacks
Another move that Alesis will use is the Grab Attack, where he tries to grab you when you're within his reach. This attack is relatively easy to counter by dodging away. Keep a safe distance and avoid getting too close to Alesis to avoid this attack.
Dead Island 2 Alesis Hernandez Boss Fight
To defeat Alesis Hernandez in Dead Island 2, it's crucial to have the best weapons, especially sharp melee ones. Additionally, keep some pipe bombs handy as they are highly effective against him.
During the fight, it's recommended to stay close to Alesis Hernandez as his AI appears to break under this strategy. Although his primary attack is spitting poison, being close to him limits his attacks, making it easier to take him down as long as you relentlessly attack him. Aim for his head with sharp melee weapons as headshots will deal maximum damage.
If Alesis Hernandez grabs you, don't panic as breaking free from his grip is easy. You'll have an opening to attack him once he releases you, giving you a chance to deal some damage. So, it's not a bad idea to let him grab you.
By using these tactics, such as keeping close to Alesis Hernandez, targeting his head with sharp melee weapons, letting him grab you, and using pipe bombs to deal massive damage, defeating Alesis Hernandez in Dead Island 2 should be relatively easy. These strategies will help you complete the "Michael Anders and the Holy Grail" objective with ease.
