I am not having any luck. I keep running out of first aid kits. So what is the best method?

Buy the complete stock of grenades, they're like 20 in total including proximity, heat seaking and frag. Buy as much exploding bucks as you can.

When the battle starts keep moving around and shooting him with the grenades until his health runs out and he goes to recharge his ADAM. When he does, go up to him and stick the siringe like you did at the beggining of the battle.

It really isn't hard at all. I did it on my first try on both Normal and Hard... so there must be something you're doing wrong, because lots of people in this forum have also beaten him in their first try.

I just shot him to hell with steel tip bolts. I constanstly strafed, keeping a good distance from him. He always misses with his projectiles and charges. Basically, just focus on dodging his projectiles and when he charges at you, turn around right when he passes you, line up a shot, fire, and keep moving. Don't bother with plasmids, as they're absolutely useless, and don't mess with other weapons, either. Bolts are all you need.

When he calls out the bots, just keep running around shooting Fontaine. They'll go away after 60 seconds. During his last phase, the splicers he calls out can be a little annoying, but you can ignore the thugs by strafing. Kill the leadheads the quickest way you can, and then focus back on Fontaine.

You need the DECOY ability. Keep putting those ghosts around the area while him and his enemy friends try to kill the ghost. Once he's chasing after them, use any weapon, preferdably the TRAP BOLT, and just continously keep the same pattern. It's real easy, I beat it in 1 shot with that method, it was kind of common sence. (didn't mean to spoil)

Once the extra splicers and bots come out, staying out of the way and using lots of Security Target and Enrage did the trick for me. Let them hurt each other, let the bots hurt everyone, and spend the rest of the time hitting the boss with your heavier artillery (and yes, the trap bolts are pretty awesome).

bolts and telekenisis. when he shoots stuff fire it back at him, also throw barrels at him.

when you get a shot, the crossbow is your best friend.

The last boss switches up primary plasmid abilties. For example, he uses cold attacks at one point. That's a great time to use telekinesis and throw around one of many "explody" cylinders just sitting around, like they'd really be there. On Hard, I finished the game with just the tiniest sliver of health. It was a mad dash, and it was awesome.

On normal the colour of his skin depends what kinda' damage and how much damage will hurt him the most.

For example; If hes fire you freeze him.

If anything I had almost all the weapons upgraded and all I needed to use was the buck. Thats all. Nothing more, nothing less. Normal bullets. It just full out tools him.

I didn't get hit once on Easy or normal. I have yet to try hard. Either or, keep jumping/crouching. He should be a sinch after that.

I actually used the Fire and Electrobolt plasmids. That combined with Explosive Shotgun shells and killed him fairly quickly.

I really didn't think this guy was hard at all... of course, on Hard mode, I got every health and Eve upgrade that there was from the Gatherer's Garden and made a conscious effort, before doing the Proving Grounds level, to stock up on a ton of ammo for the grenade launcher. Frags and Heat Seeking RPGs in particular. Exploding and Electric Buck help out quite a bit... and having those two weapons upgraded also helps. And then having the right tonics, like finding the one that gives you big time wrench damage or the ones that drastically increase how much health you get from a medkit. I'm really surprised anyone had trouble with this.

It''s extremely simple, you get every gene tonic that helps electricity, damage resistance, and lots of health. Then you get the chemical thrower with all the upgrades and full electric gel. then you spam that like crazy then before you know it he's dead. and i did this on the second hardest so it should work for most i only used one health pack.

What I did was completely unload my chemical thrower at him, and then pelt him with shotgun shells.
