I had a hard time with this. I searched online for the best way to beat him, and they said to get as many bolts for the crossbow as you can leading up to him. Unfortunately, I was way past this so I went into it with only 6 shots on the crossbow. I finally got him, but it took several tries.

If you're playing on Insane difficulty, I hope you're playing co-op with someone else, 'cause if Dom is being controlled by the CPU, you're as good as screwed. You see, CPU Dom has a nasty (and really, really stupid) habit of just running right up to Raam only to get smacked down and dead very quickly. That leaves just you and Raam and nobody else to distract him.

With co-op, it's possible to beat Raam, although still very hard on Insane. I was playing with my buddy, we both had over 10 torque-bow shots each. We just lit him up with them, but we soon ran out and Raam was still alive. Craig decides he's going to try to run to the other side. "NOOOOOO!" Craig.....er, Dom goes down. I'm all that's left (and we've been doing this over and over for about 15 times by now. I can recite the entire cut-scene now......"Marcus, you've gotta drop that data RIGHT NOW!") and Raam is standing just on the other side of my cover. So I just blind-toss all 4 of my 'nades over the wall, but Raam is still alive. Then I just blind-fire my gun over the wall and next thing I know, Raam is dead. FINALLY!

Anyways, good luck.

Depends if your playing single player or co-op. If your playing co-op it will obviously be much easier - one person snipes raam's face and the other launches torque darts on his face aswell and by the time he reaches you (first cover point) then he should die.

First of all, I always go in with a torque bow, a shotgun and grenades. On the easier modes, I stay behind the first piece of cover that you start at and hit him with torque bow shots. When you hit him once, the krill (bats) scatter. That's when you hit him with another torque bow shot to actually do damage to him. Keep doing this. When he walks close enough to you, start blind tossing grenades over towards him. If you get some good torque bow shots on him and you hit him well with the grenades, you might kill him right there. But, if he makes it all the way up to your cover spot, start blind firing him with your shotgun. If he walks around the cover to your side, just hop the cover to the other side and keep blind firing your shotgun at him. It might take a couple of tries, but you'll get him. Again, you don't have to move from that first piece of cover.

I beat General Butt Raam on every difficulty by myself even insane. You need to get the torque bow from the train car just before you enter the battle. It's been a while but if I remember correctly you have to get the birds to fly away from him either by using some kind of explosive such as a gernade or they might just fly away on their own. Once the birds are gone hit him in the face with the torque bow or snipe and run the fudge away from him. When he comes toward you run to the opposite side of the car. rinse. repeat.

Stay in the light and grab the sniper before you get to him(in the room just before). Use the lancer to remove the krill and snipe his head or his body Try to get actives b/c that will greatly help. Also if you stay on the guide lights on the floor of the train the krill will stay away from you. good luck
