Nemesis 2nd Form Attacks and Movements

Dodging the Dash + Attack from Nemesis is essential

The hardest attack to dodge from Nemesis's second form is the one where he rushes in and hits a large aread of ground right after. Getting the timing on your perfect dodges correct is essential. If you dodge right when Nemesis (2nd Form) lands on the ground, you should be able to avoid its attack.

Grab + Bite Attack deals a ton of damage

The thing you really have to watch out for is the attack where it bites your stomach right after grabbing you. Compared with its other attacks, this one has enormous damage output, so its the move that you should be vigilant of above all others. This move starts with Nemesis jumping in from far away, so make sure to keep your distance and keep making use of perfect dodges.

Essential - Watch out for the triple tentacle attack in the 2nd battle!

Once you deal enough damage to Nemesis's 2nd form in the 2nd battle, it will extend its tentacles to attack you. This is a very annoying attack that has a huge range, and if the first tentacle manages to hit you, you'll usually get hit by the second and third as well. Get used to seeing the attack motion and use perfect dodges to escape the attack, or constantly keep your distance from it.

Always move around while keeping Nemesis in your field of vision

Nemesis will jump at you from a distance or roar to stun you and follow-up with an attack, but these can both be avoided fairily easily, so long as you keep Nemesis in your sight while moving around. Even if you are going to pick up some nearby items or when it is crawling on a building, don't let it off of your screen.

Take Nemesis crawling on the wall as your chance!

When you see Nemesis doing the movement where it crawls around on the wall, this is a good opportunity to pick up items in the vicinity. Or, if you see it going in a circle on the building, shoot a mine thrower on the building near where it will move or hit it with a grenade launcher to do some easy damage.

His heart becomes visible after he falls - Target it!

If you are able to knock Nemesis off the building with a mine thrower from your grenade launcher, it will come falling down. While it is stunned, its weakspot (a tentacle) will come out from where its heart was, so use your shotgun or handgun to blast the tentacle and inflict a significant portion of damage.

Once the battle starts, you can pick up some Shotgun Shells and Mine Thrower Rounds , as well as Medicinal Spray nearby. After the battle is over and you approach a nearby tunnel, a cutscene will trigger, and you'll have to leave the area, so be sure and grab these all before finishing Nemesis off.

Differences Between Original Nemesis 2nd Form and Remake

Quadrupedal instead of bipedal

In the original RE3, the parasites inside Nemesis's body grew large and broke through its skin as a result of Nemesis's jacket breaking through its long battle with Jill, which created Nemesis's second form. It would use the long tentacle from its right arm as a whip to attack. In the remake, the second form spawns as a result of Nemesis's body catching fire from the flamethrower, then melting until it was no longer bipedal.

Attacks are now totally different along with its movement

Since the amount of limbs it moves on changed, naturally, its movement became much quicker. In addition, instead of using its tentacle in a whip like fashion to attack, Nemesis now uses its leg power and sharp beast-like fangs to move around and attack.
