Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is a PS3 game. If you are here then you already know that. Except for Gran Turismo 5, I don’t normally play any games on it but my son brought home Among Thieves on loan and, lo and behold, I started playing it. There are several boss levels in it, the Yeti one is really hard, but the final boss level is even harder. Here’s how to beat it easily.

First, make sure you have lots of ammo for your pistol. It also helps if you are a good shot but the targets are quite large so don’t worry too much about it.

Second, make sure you have perfected the ‘shoot while hanging off a ledge’ skill. Hang with one hand and aim then shoot with the other.

This level starts with Lazaravic drinking some of the special goo in the pond. He becomes invincible, he thinks, and decides to kill Drake on his own. Here’s where the action starts. You would normally race around and shoot the blue resin when Lazaravic is close to it. In this cheat you’ll just have to hang on to a ledge and shoot.

Somewhere on the playing field there is a raised section in front of two trees. Each of the trees has a resin bubble on it. Of course, as you have figured out already, the resin grows back. See where this is going? The ledge looks something like this:

I can’t do a screen capture, at least I haven’t figured out how to do it yet, but this is similar to the spot I am talking about. You are hanging by one hand while Lazaravic walks around yelling at you to fight like a man while shooting down at you. Don’t worry, he can’t hit you. You might take some damage but move from side to side and you’ll be OK.

Every now and then, when the resin is big and glowing, stick your pistol up and shoot it. In the scene with two trees and two resin bubbles, they will re-grow in short time. Keep shooting when they have regenerated. Each time you do this, you will weaken your invincible foe.

After a time, Lazaravic will move in front of the right one and simply stand there. This happened when I had one bullet left, your situation might be different. Then again, I didn’t have a full clip on me when I discovered this. Regardless, either shoot your way through this or lob a grenade at the resin when he is standing in front of the tree, not moving. A black screen will follow and the monsters will proceed to take care of Lazaravic. You’ve done it!

I checked Youtube and couldn’t find this cheat but it may already be out there. Good luck! Actually, I don’t think it’s a cheat. I mean you are fighting. It’s not a glitch really. It’s just another way to win the level.
