Special Delivery

"Secure the platform and catch the train"

Train Wreck

"All aboard"

Pale Horse

"A dish best served cold"

This level is essentially just a boss fight. Remember that guy who impaled Kim a few acts ago? Well he's back to stop you once and for all. There are multiple strategies for this boss so edit in any if you have them.

Suggested Armarments

For this boss there are several weapons that are ideal. First off you're going to want something to disperse his shield; both grenades and Torque Bows do the job so fill up on those. Also you'll need a sniper rifle, whether or not you're good with it. If you have a partner then they'll need a sniper too.

Strategies

The first thing you should do is take cover. General RAAM has two attacks that he can use on you. The first is a huge gun unlike anything else in the game. You don't really need to know what it is though just know that it can kill you in a few seconds.

The second attack is the Kryll. The Kryll are a vital factor in this battle because they are both his defense and offense. Normally the Kryll will fly around RAAM like a shield. When this shield is up nothing will damage him. There are three ways to destroy the shield shoot him with the Torque Bow, chuck a grenade near him, or wait for RAAM to send them after you. No matter which you use make sure to snipe him in the head when the shield is gone.

This sounds pretty simple, but there are complications. RAAM will slowly move toward you, which is bad. The only thing more dangerous than RAAM at a distance is RAAM up close. But here's the catch, if you leave your cover then you risk being mauled by Kryll (because most of the train is dark.) So when RAAM gets close hit him with a grenade or Torque Bow and run towards the other end of the map.Once you hop over the cover you'll find that the map is symmetrical. Turn around and repeat your original plan of sniping and you'll eventually defeat him.

-As you approach the Station you are surrounded by [[Locust Sniper|Locust Snipers]] on top of all the high ground around you.  There are also groups of [[Drone|Drones]] and [[Wretch|Wretches]] that come out of a few [[Emergence Hole|Emergence Holes]] that open up around you.  As you clear most of them out, you hear the train approaching.  Work your way over to the far train platform by walking along a small walkway behind a stopped train.  Once you are across you and [[Dominic Santiago|Dom]] hitch a ride onto the train.

-You got 2 almost identical sides which are separated with a railroad which is still in use. So watch out for the train because it comes by quit often.
+{{Footer Nav|game=Gears of War|backpage=Act Four: The Long Road Home}}
-One pair of grenades in the basement which is accessible by 3 ways. From either spawn point and from a stair coming from the railroad. Also 2 torque bows are lying along side the the railroad. Revolvers spawn on the ramp leading towards the sides of the railroad. And also a Hammer of Dawn can be found in the middle of the railroad. Catch it with haste cause the train may want to have your brain splattered all over his windshield.
-Flanking is hard to be execute here. In the basement a lot of the action will be close encounter shotgun action with maybe some guys giving cover from the elevated spawn point area. On the top its hard to flank so the only way to get behind them is walking under them true the basement. Or if your lazy and don't wanna leave your cover when your upstairs. Make sure you have the torque bow or the Hammer of Dawn or you'll be dead in no time!
-As said earlier watch out for the train, cause it is really fast! But it has one advantage, which can be used for both sides so keep attention. When the train stops by your view is blocked. But can still see a little. When your outgunned you wanna switch covers when it comes by. But because you can still see a little switch covers towards the heading the train is going. When timed right, the enemies will not see you at all.
