SH:Homecoming - I suck at Siams! (spoilers)

[strambo]

Hi there. Does anybody have a good tip on how to kill off those Siam creatures? I'm a bit stuck down the sewers right now and getting a little frustrated. Seems quicker than the Siam in the police station parking lot, which ended up pretty easily disposed of.

Using melee attacks on them is hard because you can never seem to dodge and hit on time unless you've had plenty of practice. I suggest using the shotgun or pistol, firearms seem to work best against the Siam. If you have no ammo just attack them and then wait a fair distance away from them until you can run and get a quick shot in with the axe. It might take longer this way but it's easier than trying to perfect the dodge.

After the sewer section It would be easier just to run away (when possible) from any other Siam you encounter.

2-3 shotgun bullets generally take them down no problems. First time I played the game, after all those schisms and then suddenly a siam I honestly though I was going to need to restart the game. I died and died and died again. Then I saved a few shotgun bullets, shot the siam twice and was utterly dumbfounded by how easy it actually was.

So yea, shotgun = friend against siams.

Melee wise, as with every enemy, you need to really pay attention to it's movements. Dodge as much as you can and hit the woman side of the siam. It's hard but it's doable.

Thanks a lot guys! Sounds like something I could manage after all...must admit I lost my nerve a bit there.
