I'm pretty far into Resident Evil Veronica X but I'm stuck. *As *Chris I've just ventured around the dungeony part of the house (second disc) and used the shotgun (mounted near the moable iron staircase) to kill loads of things. *I'm now at a pool with an electrified snot monster swimming around in it. *I can't kill it from the side and when I get in the pool I get fried. *How do I get round this?

Frustrated and bored... *:0

Yes that was a very troubling part for me as well. The best solution I came up with was to make sure I was fully stocked with herbs. Then I lept into the pool, ran and grabbed the glinting piece of metal from the bottom, and ran to climb out. I never killed the beast, but I beat the game just the same. Now this is probably not the best solution available...but it served it's purpose.

Ryoga *:wave:

I killed the Albinoid w/the grenade launcher. It took a long time but it was worth it, 'cause I could enter the pool at my leisure. I chased him around & around the pool & when he swam to the side I let him have it. After a number of times he croaks. It's very satisfying. :2devilish:

Taking this sucker out before you get in the water is possible, but like Santadog points out - it takes an awful lot of ammo. Kaiser's strategy of just jumping in and out as fast as possible is the one that i always use. Essentially you have 2 options:

Use up a load of ammo (that you may not have); or wait for the beastie to move more towards one of the sides and discharge electricity before running straight to the object and getting out as quick as possible (but lose a bit of health).

I usually enter the pool from the middle of the farside (as you enter the room) and exit via one of the sides - that way you don't have to waste time turning around. Always line up on the object so you can run straight to it without turning when you enter the pool and pretty much forget about the beastie when you're in the water (don't try to dodge etc), just concentrate on getting out as quickly as possible. Don't panic and use some herbs / spray as soon as you have been hit and you shouldn't have a problem with this (there's even some herbs in the bit of tunnel just before this room i seem to recall).
