Resident Evil 7 How to Defeat Jack in The Morgue - Chainsaw Boss Battle

Jack Baker is the patriarch of the Baker family, and the most persistent boss you’ll fight. One of those occasions is in the Morgue. This fight is harder than the ones before. However, if you keep calm and use whatever advantage you have, you’ll kill him. In this guide, we’ll show you how to kill Jack in the Morgue in Resident Evil 7.

Resident Evil 7 Morgue Boss – How to Beat Jack

A few notes before we begin. There’s some extra ammo and First Aid scattered around and in boxes, so make sure to explore as much as Jack will let you. Also, when you deal enough damage to him, Jack’s head will explode into a mush of flesh and faces. That’s when he’s at his most vulnerable, so save your hard-hitters (like the shotgun) for that. And, of course, don’t forget to heal when you’re in trouble. Let’s get into it.

Once the fight starts, evade Jack’s attacks by strafing around the brick pillar in the center. There are carcasses hanging from the ceiling, so use those to stagger Jack when he lines up right. When he’s staggered, shoot him in the head with the Pistol or hack at it with the knife. Remember to aim carefully, you’ll need all the ammo you can get.

Eventually, his head will erupt into a grotesque face, for lack of a better term. Switch to your Shotgun immediately and fire off a couple of rounds. Then rinse and repeat. Note that you don’t have to use the carcasses to stun Jack, but it’ll be much easier that way.

After you deal enough damage, Jack will walk to a metal grate and pick up a pair of huge chainsaw scissors or garden shears. They hurt a lot, so be careful. If you’re feeling particularly lucky, you can evade the scissors by crouching and get the Duck If You Love Life hidden achievement.

Run around Jack to the place he got his weapon from and pick up a chainsaw of your own. The chainsaw deals sizable damage, and blocking with it protects you a lot. If you and Jack attack at the same time, you’ll both get staggered, but at least he won’t hurt you. However, you’ll need to rev the weapon up every now and then, so stay alert.

Just like before, use the carcasses to stun Jack, then cut him with the chainsaw. Once the monster face appears, you can either hit him with the chainsaw again, or shoot with the Shotgun if you have ammo left. At the end of the fight, you’ll cut him in half, and that’s the end of it. Use the ladders and get out of there.

The fight proceeds pretty much the same as in Normal or Easy, just much harder. One thing that helps a lot is to craft Enhanced Handgun Ammo (combine Gunpowder with Strong Chem Fluid). Stagger Jack using the carcasses, then fire off one well-aimed Enhanced bullet into his head, and it will immediately burst into gore. Switch to the Shotgun and fire, just like above. Be very careful not to waste those bullets.

When you get to the chainsaw part, you can even ignore it, at least if you have ammo left. Keep doing the same thing, and Jack will eventually drop.
