    Fly Swatter Achievement/Trophy

    This achievement/trophy is all about timing and can be pretty difficult. When following Marguerite through the tunnels you can open a shortcut back to the van here so feel free to make a save file before attempting this. Now enter the house in this area and you will come face to face with Marguerite and she is far from happy, but the goal here however is to damage her enough so she starts climbing over walls like a spider and shooting her out of the air while she pounces.

    Some notes:
    - The Flamer does heavy damage to her if you are running low on shotgun ammo.
    - You need the shotgun to knock her back.
    - She will appear above & below you so watch out.
    - The roof she crawls over is very low to the ground, a weird design choice on the part of the devs but try keep a little distance.
    - Before she is going to pounce she will stare at you for a few seconds, you can shoot her while in mid air or get lucky like I did in the video below and get her the second she was about to leave.
    - If you fail load up the save point or hit retry.
    - She does this 3 times during the fight, save point will work if you want more tries however.

    In the following video so you don't get confused I got her the second that she moved from the ceiling. Doesn't look it but watching frame by frame she had left

    HungryNic42I’m surprised this achievement doesn’t have the bugged logo! I took me 10 tries and I finally got it with the Albert-01R the shotgun wouldn’t work.

    DoomScottI knocked her down from jumping three times onto her back with the shotgun and nothing. Then I tried the flamethrower and got it first try. Do the flamethrower. I know I hit her 100% for sure mid air knocking her onto her back with the shotgun and nothing. So this achievement is at least partially glitched.

    This one was a bit of a pain, definitely doable but it took a few retries before I was able to track Margeuite's movements leading up to her ultimate pounce.

    What I came up with is as follows:

    From the stairs where the boss fight begins I turned around and remained on the lower floor of the Greenhouse. You can go wherever you want, but I found the layout of the lower much more convenient because I didnt have to worry about falling through the holes in the floor while trying to get the right angle on her. Plus there was adequate debris/cover to put between myself and Marguerite during the battle.

    -Shoot Margeurite (in the face or in the bug nest by her legs) until she starts crawling up the walls. Use something other than your shotgun in order to conserve shotgun ammo for the shots needed in this achievement.

    -Stay with her as she will try to evade you and release bug swarms to attack you and throw you off gaurd while she regroups to a better attack position. If she gets away, dont stress, break out the flame thrower (or weapon of your choice other than the shotgun) to kill the swarm, and repeat the process above when she comes around again.

    -If you stay close she should climb up onto the ceiling and eventually, if not immediately, face toward you.

    -Once she is facing you, take a couple steps back during the moments she is stopped staring at you, she may or may not yell something out like "here I come", but dont shoot just yet, wait until she raises her right right arm away from the ceiling and then pull the trigger. When she lunges at you she does a sort of spin maneuver that places her right side up when she lands on you. It happens really quick, so if you pull the trigger as her hand lifts it should hit her while she is airborne.

    **NOTE** If you're doing a follow-up playthrough in order to mop up remaining achievements, it may not be a bad move to play at one of the more casual settings for this achievement just to eliminate the dangers of the boss fight allowing you to focus on the timing of the shot required without worrying about being killed in the process.
