If you purposely go into all three rooms that you are transported to through Nithalinth's portals, you will be able to collect ammo and then not have to worry about dodging the portals later on. Now destroy all three crystals (crossbow works best, only two bolts per crystal) and he will now take damage. You will now only have to avoid the electricity he shoots. Keep shooting from the '''cover of a spike''' (will take only a minute or two, green slime will show it is working) until his head opens. When this happens, he will only be able to shoot one ball of electricity at a time, so you will be much safer. Bounce up and fire explosives, e.g. from the MP5, into his open brain. It can be done in only one bounce up if you fire grenades quickly enough. I found this much easier than even the "Jump shot method", as although essentially the same, there is no need to avoid portals, as they will be done and dusted and most of the work is done from cover. | If you purposely go into all three rooms that you are transported to through Nithalinth's portals, you will be able to collect ammo and then not have to worry about dodging the portals later on.
