As huge mass of muscle, claw, and fury strikes out at you, you jump back, carefully avoiding the attack, and keeping yourself at a good distance from this creature. Should you fall into a close-range situation, your chances of victory would be very slim, considering the strength of this monster's blows even without the sharpened edges that came with them.

With each lounge the beast makes, you make a jump to the side, narrowly avoiding being hit each time by mere inches. With each failure, the beast grows angrier and angrier, roaring loudly as it swipes at your figure, leaping about the room.

Though you manage to avoid taking any serious damage, you quickly realize that you can't keep this up for long. You need some kind of strategy, some advantage to press, before you can make a move that has even the slightest chance at victory.

But how might you plan to stop a monstrous, hulking brute like this?

As you hear Vinyl cry out in fear for your life, you work your brain as hard as possible, trying to think of something that might help you...


Grab a candlestick from the wall, and try to use fire as a weapon against the beast!

Use the beast's blind rage to your advantage! Try to make him unintentionally smash Vinyl's cell open and let her free!
