Biography

The Museum Monster appears in the museum of Central Park, facing Edward Carnby while looking for Room 943. It threatens the detective there will be no mercy for him, and if he is ready to take responsibility for his actions. Edward replies that is his problem, but that now it's time to see how the Monster will beg for mercy. The two engaged in a furious battle, which concludes when Edward defeats and kills the Monster, which, with a dying roar, falls to the floor.

Strategy

The Museum Monster's primary attack is throwing projectiles at the player. Once the player has dealt enough damage, The Museum Monster will unleash evil energy, leaving the the player to retreat behind the pillars. Once this has been done, The Museum Monster will move to the player and destroy the pillar.

The best strategy is to gather alcohol bottles and fire bullets, and hit the Monster with them in the weak spots shown around its body, while avoiding his projectiles and shockwaves behind the pillars around the room. The bottles can also be covered with tape and shot when they stick to the creature, or made into molotov cocktails to have an explosion on impact.

Quotes
