The best strategy to defeat the assassin in High on Life 2
The blue energy shield pillars in the arena can be used as cover to protect yourself from his weapon. However, these pillars periodically disappear underground, leaving you exposed. When this happens, the surest way to stay alive is to start skate as fast as possible along the walls of the arena.
All of the Assassin's attacks have a travel time, meaning you can outrun them if you're fast enough. When the energy pillars return from the floor, use them as cover again and shoot the Assassin from behind until he falls.
The best weapons to fight the Assassin in High on Life 2
If you have completed the mission to kill Larry Pinkstock, you have earned Travisa gatlian weapon that fires water projectiles that are effective at medium range. This is one of the best weapons to use against the Assassin as it is quite fast and deals a lot of damage with each hit.
Sweezy she's also a reliable choice, mainly because you can use her time bubble to slow down time, giving you the opportunity to deal a lot of damage. Gus it's only useful if you're sure you can get in range of the Assassin and stay alive. Assassin is most dangerous in close quarters due to his melee attacks, so Gus's usefulness is limited.
After you defeat the Assassin, a cutscene will play where he will agree to join your thing as a weapon: Scabbard. Next, you'll be able to continue your hunt for the elusive Senator Muppy Doo, chasing him across the planet for a final boss fight.
