How to Beat Maria/Mary

Use The Handgun for Phase 1

While it may sound like an odd choice, the Handgun might actually perform better, overall, than the Hunting Rifle, at least for Maria/Mary's 1st phase.

The Handgun shoots faster, is easier to aim, and simply handles more efficiently.

Use The Hunting Rifle for Phase 2

Maria/Mary actually moves slower when she enters her 2nd phase. During this segment of the boss battle, she's easier to hit with the Hunting Rifle because she moves less and has a slightly bigger hitzone.

Freely Use Up Your Ammo Stock

Since this is the final battle in the entire game, no need to conserve ammo. It's easier to deal with Maria/Mary with your guns than to try and get in some melee attacks.
