Marguerite Baker Boss Guide

First Encounter (Old House)

Marguerite first engages you when you have obtained the Crow Key and come up to the set of stairs leading to the locked. She will get hold of you and throw you down a pit and unleash insects to kill you. The first part of the fight is actually more against her swarm of insects than against Marguerite herself.

Useful weapons in this encounter are any knife you have in hand, a handgun or a shotgun. Use these weapons to pick off the insects one by one at close or long range. You can also try using the burner to deal with the lesser insects that come in swarms if they get close enough. Once you’ve taken down a few and have the time, aim for Marguerite in the head with the handgun and shoot her. She will eventually plunge into the area you are in but will melt into a pool of black ooze. Quickly get out as the ooze will damage you.

If you manage to fight off Marguerite while she is roaming the Old House before the boss fight, you will receive the “Back Off Mrs. B!” trophy. Click here for the complete Trophy List.

Second Encounter (Greenhouse)

Marguerite is a lot more robust this time around. When she appears through the boarded window, shoot her in the head with the shotgun a few times. Eventually, she will withdraw to somewhere, giving you ample time to scout the area up the stairs for some healing items (there will be a herb and solid fuel in the cabinet nearby, though you have to burn the insects on it). In the next room will be some boxes. The one by the corner contains shotgun shells. A drawer with a candlestick on top of it will contain handgun ammo.

Marguerite will soon emerge in the room so aim for her head or her insect hive with the shotgun since these are her two vulnerable points. You can also try to set her on fire with the burner.

It’s a good idea to consider where you are fighting her. Do not at all times engage her in very tight spots, such as on the stairs as she is very powerful at close range. She will also try to trick you by telling you to look up, so don’t fall for it. Just run away from her when she does this. She will go down after a drawn out battle, so be sure to make your bullets count as much as possible.

If you shoot and knock her back while she is leaping at you, you will receive the “Fly Swatter” trophy. Click here for the complete Trophy List.
