Chapter 26: Tree of Life
Descend the staircase and follow the path, leading into the base of the Tree of Life.
What's Lazarevic up to now? Apparently gaining super-human strength, that's what! So as you may have noticed, there are blue sacs all over the place--these babies explode when shot and are the key to defeating Lazarevic. In fact, don't even bother shooting Lazarevic directly, as the only way he can be harmed is by detonating those sacs with a few shots each. Thankfully, they have a large blast radius--as long as Lazarevic is somewhere nearby, he'll feel the heat.
Lazarevic himself is armed with a shotgun, which of course becomes deadlier the closer you are to it. As such, you want to stay as far away as you can, while staying close enough to lure him to the sacs. Your goal is to lead him from sac to sac (it doesn't matter in what order, plus they respawn in short order) and then shoot it as he passes by, detonating it for massive damage. Now unless you get too far ahead, Lazarevic has a tendancy to keep on your trail, so it's often best to turn around after passing a sac, then detonate it just as Lazarevic is passing by.
We suggest continually circling the perimeter of the room, pausing periodically (and briefly) to detonate the sacs as Lazarevic passes by (remember, as long as he's not too far behind, he should be following the same path you did).
Now Lazarevic is no fool, and he'll attempt to use the sacs in the same way. Try to avoid running too close to them and especially avoid lingering next to one. If you've stopped close to one to wait for Lazarevic, make sure you're far enough away that he can't use it against you. If, however, you're waiting by a sac at the end of a long-stretch, try and seek cover nearby to evade Lazarevic's blast, while he gets close enough to the sac before detonating it. Also, if he happens to get close enough to grab you, hammer on the attack button until he drops you and then get the hell out of there!
Periodically, after inflicting enough damage, Lazarevic will wince in pain and grow more aggravated. After a few of these, he'll begin tossing grenades, first in batches of two, but soon four and more. Just keep on the move and run away--jumping if you have to--to distance yourself from where they land.
He may seem difficult at first, but once you get used to running and gunning the sacs, he'll go down in no time.
