How to kill the Chimera in Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty

The Chimera is a four-legged robot that you encounter during the third story mission, while trying to save Rosalind Myers.

The robot is equipped with a dome-shaped turret at the top and can fire homing missiles and a powerful laser beam. And the main recommendation for destroying the Chimera from the captain is obvious - use a weapon that causes as much damage as possible .

Weapon Selection

• Assault rifle level 2 or 3
• Energy revolver level 2 or 3 or energy shotgun
• Level 3 inhalers (Maxdoc MK.3) in quick access slot 1
• Fragmentation grenades will come in handy!

How to defeat the Chimera?

As soon as repair drones appear in the middle of the battle, be sure to destroy them (first the repair drones, and then the regular ones) so that they do not restore the Chimera’s health.

Despite the fact that the boss has a large reserve of durability, defeating the Chimera is quite easy if you follow the steps described below:

1. Shoot the exposed parts on the Chimera marked in yellow. Once every two or three shots you will inflict critical damage (along with the usual damage when shooting at a vulnerable spot).
2. Take cover, dodge or run away if the Chimera fires a powerful laser beam. If he goestop, go down, and vice versa. Fortunately, the laser cannot destroy walls or other obstacles.
3. Once the durability drops to 70%, red attack drones and yellow repair drones will appear. Destroy the repair drones first.
4. After destroying all the drones, continue attacking the Chimera. If you have grenades, use them. In the end, the boss should have about 2% of his maximum durability left.
5. As soon as this happens, Myers will ask you to climb on top of the robot and finally finish it off. Do it.

After the cutscene, be sure to pick up the Chimera Core. In addition, in the arena, especially on the second floor, there are containers with ammunition in three corners. There are also security turrets, but moving them requires 6 units of strength. For killing the Chimera you will also receive an achievement.
