Luis engages with Ada in his comedic style, and they subsequently delve into their mission and the significance of an object called Amber. This article contains valuable insights to assist players in conquering the trials posed by Verdugo during the initial portions of the Separate Ways DLC.

Following the introductory cutscene, Ada's adventure kicks off, and Chapter 1 commences within the Castle. As you finish your initial interactions, continue forward alongside Luis. You'll eventually come to a point where numerous Ganados are on their way to apprehend both of you.

Verdugo is known for his agility and rapid attacks, so it's crucial to focus on evasion. Focus on changing your attack angles and positions rather than sticking to the same approach. In the initial phase of this boss battle, refrain from using grenades, as this boss fight unfolds in two distinct phases.

Begin with your handgun and follow up with a series of TMP strikes. If you run low on ammunition, explore the chamber and break the pots to find ammo, herbs, and Gunpowder to replenish your supplies.

After a period of time, Verdugo initiates an illusion-based assault, causing the surroundings to turn into eerie blue flames. Continue moving swiftly through the chamber because Verdugo's duplicates will soon encircle you. These duplicates serve to conceal Verdugo and intensify the difficulty of defeating him.

Additionally, exercise caution, as the clones' attacks are just as potent as those of the original Verdugo. To identify the real one, employ a Flashbang, the real Verdugo will display a response. Once you've located him, commence your offensive maneuvers.

While attacking, you can also utilize grenades. If you encounter difficulty spotting the real Verdugo, target all the clones with your firearms, a single shot will dispel them. Continue your assault on the real one, and after a while, you will overcome him, marking the successful completion of the initial challenge in the Separate Ways DLC.
