West of Dead is a game that features an undead, wild west themed world to explore. The world of Purgatory is full of undead enemies players will have to defeat as undead cowboy William Mason, voiced by Ron Perlman.
Each chapter in the game has a boss fight at the end and the hardest is the final boss Injustice. Players will need to be on their toes if they want to defeat this tough adversary. But how do players defeat Injustice in the game's climax? Here is a guide on how to defeat Injustice in West of Dead.
What to know before battling Injustice
Injustice is the final form of The Preacher and appears in Chapter Four, the final segment of West of Dead. As the last boss in the game, players will need to be extra vigilant in defeating him. His two main methods of attack are to try getting close to the player and launching devastating attacks from afar.
The main idea is for players to constantly dodge Injustice's attacks while working to damage him. If players get too close to Injustice, they will suffer greatly and potentially lost the boss fight. There will not be many chances to damage Injustice if players do not correctly know when to attack.
Injustice's Different Attacks
Injustice comes with an arsenal of hard-hitting attacks and abilities. Here is a list of each one and what it does:
- Homing Fireballs: A six-shot attack that creates fireballs that can destroy cover. Players can shield from these attacks but will still receive damage afterward.
- Summons Blasts: Read circles that will appear near the player and explode after two seconds resulting in a rock appearing. Injustice can summon between three to five Summons Blast circles at a time.
- Shockwave of Flame: This is the attack Injustice launches when players ground him to the floor. The shockwave can cause serious damage if players do not jump in time.
- Flying Fireheads: Fireheads, as the name suggests, are little fire ghosts that Injustice can summon to surround and attack the player. Their method of attack is firing projectiles. Injustice conjures five Fireheards each time this attack is used. Luckily, these flaming spirits can be destroyed by players.
Part 1 of Fighting Injustice
For the first portion of the fight, Injustice will chase the player around the room. During this time, he cannot be stunned and his fireball will still damage the player even if the shield is used.
To hurt Injustice, players need to aim for and fire at Injustice's legs, which each has its own life bar. This can will cause Injustice to fall from above and land on the floor. But players will need to avoid Injustice's ground shockwave when he lands since that causes severe hurt.
While Injustice is grounded, players can attack him to damage his main health. This will not last long so players must deal as damage as possible to Injustice before he flies and chases players again. Players will need to repeat the process of shooting down Injustice to damage him a few times to move into phase two of the boss fight.
Part 2 of Fighting Injustice
For the next and last portion of the fight, Injustice will achieve immortality. Three green-colored pillars emitting energy will appear with green lines leading to a center circle. For this portion, players need to obtain the three Righteous Souls and place them on the pillars.
Throughout the game, there are these special NPCs called Lost Souls that appear in random parts of the game. In Chapter 4, the Righteous Souls can be found to help defeat Injustice.
Once the three Righteous Souls are collected, players to place one on each of the pillars. Doing this will cause the pillars and the floor along with Injustice himself to turn blue. Injustice can now be defeated more easily.
To finally end Injustice, players will need to destroy the three blue pillars to defeat him. Triumphing over Injustice will grant players 24 sin points which they must be sure to collect.
