Defeat Nightingale
At one point in the game, you’ll be tasked with defeating Nightingale. This is a boss fight and most probably its first move is to go towards you fast and grab you.
When you’re grabbed a Quick-Time event happens where you mash a button repeatedly to get out of its grip.
After you get out of the boss’ hold you can shoot him a couple of times as they reel back.
You can also use your Flashlight to do a Flashlight Boost on the enemy. This will stun them for a bit and expose their Source points.
As you can see below the Source Point is the glowing red spot on its body. You can shoot that are to deal massive damage to the boss.
You have a limited amount of inventory slots in the game at this point so you might run out of ammunition.
Throughout the area, you can see these white and red boxes. When you open them, they usually contain ammunition for you to use so keep that in mind.
