HIEROPHANT

HOD2

The Hierophant is a huge aquatic zombie that wields a trident.
Its weak point is its heart, which is covered by its thick chest.
Bullets fired anywhere else on its body besides its heart
will bounce away.

The Hierophant will try to approach and attack you with
its trident, so be sure to shoot its heart to prevent it from
getting too close.

When the Hierophant’s health drops to nearly half,
it’ll send zombie fish to attack you. Attempting to deal with
all of these zombie fish would be quite difficult,
so as soon as the Hierophant shifts into this attack,
just concentrate on aiming for the Hierophant’s heart.
Only try to take care of the zombie fish during the intervals,
when the Hierophant’s chest is closed.

But don’t let your guard down once the zombie fish
attacks are over! The Hierophant will now begin a jumping
attack on you. You might be taken aback at first by the
sudden movement, but if you aim for the Hierophant’s heart
just as it begins to descend from the peak of a jump,

you should be able to bring it down.

There are two variations of this jumping attack.
The Hierophant will either jump up from the bridge,
or it will jump up out of the water. If it’s jumping up
from the bridge, its heart will be exposed just before
it jumps, so try to get some shots in then.

Depending on what route you took, you may face
the Hierophant on a pier. Its attack patterns and
the timing of its heart being exposed will be slightly
different, but the strategy for beating it will be
basically the same.
