    Attack the Orange Part of the NE-Alpha Parasite

    Nemesis Parasite Target
    The main weakness of this zombie is the orange part on the parasite. You can shoot other areas of the zombie to make it reveal its weak then shoot it to damage it. If you do not shoot other areas of the zombie, its weak point will remain protected.

    Beware of the Tentacle Attacks

    Nemesis Parasite Attack
    The NE-Alpha Parasite has an attack that is similar to what Nemesis does. It is recommended to maintain your distance and attack the weak point when it is unprotected.

    You can Avoid Tentacle Attacks with Perfect Dodge

    It is possible to attempt a perfect dodge and counterattack their tentacle attack. However, counterattacking them is tricky because their weak point is shielded most of the time.

    If you are able to perfect dodge then counterattack by shooting the weak point, you will be able to deal a lot of damage.
