To effectively defeat Mike J in POSTAL 2, the most reliable strategy involves a two-phase attack: first disabling his protective shield, and then unleashing a powerful explosive weapon.
Understanding Mike J's Defenses
Mike J is not immediately vulnerable. He is protected by a unique, dynamic shield composed of flying Gary Coleman heads. These heads orbit him and must be destroyed before you can inflict any direct damage on Mike J himself.
Step-by-Step Strategy to Defeat Mike J
Here’s a breakdown of the most effective method:
-
Neutralize the Shield:
- Your primary objective at the start of the encounter is to target and shoot down the flying Gary Coleman heads.
- These heads act as a literal shield, absorbing all incoming damage and making Mike J invulnerable until they are destroyed. Focus your fire on these heads until they are all gone.
-
Attack with Explosives:
- Once all the Gary Coleman heads have been shot down and Mike J's shield is removed, he becomes vulnerable.
- Immediately switch to a rocket launcher. This weapon is highly effective for quickly eliminating Mike J once his defenses are compromised.
- Aim and fire rockets at him until he is defeated.
Essential Tips for the Encounter
- Prioritize: Always remember that the Gary Coleman heads are your immediate priority. Do not waste ammunition on Mike J directly while his shield is active.
- Ammunition Management: Ensure you have a good supply of rocket launcher ammunition before engaging, as it is crucial for the damage phase.
- Mobility: Stay mobile to avoid any attacks Mike J might launch while you're dealing with his shield.
By following this precise two-step approach, focusing on removing his protective heads first and then using a rocket launcher, you will successfully defeat Mike J.
