Dr. Diana Marmont is the final boss you will face at the end ofAlan Wake 2: The Lake HouseDLC. You will find her on sub-level five, the deepest level in the facility that requires you to acquire the Security Clearance Keycard 03. While her attacks are somewhat limited, they do pack a punch. Moreover, a lack of healing items makes it even more difficult.
This guide will walk you through everything there is to know about defeating Dr. Diana Marmont, her attacks, and the best strategies to avoid them.
How To Defeat Dr. Diana Marmont
To reach Diana Marmont, you will need toaccess Sub-level five. This requires theSecurity Clearance Keycard 03, which you should have by now. The moment you get there, a small cutscene will play, showing Diana brutally killing her husband, Jules Marmont, who is also Taken.
When the fight begins, dodge behind to avoid the first couple of attacks. Try to maintain some distance beforeusing your flashlight to stun-lock hermomentarily. It is a relatively simple boss fight since Dr. Marmont does not have a lot of interesting attacks. However,she does hit pretty hardand can easily catch you off guard if you are not careful enough.
Explanation
2-hit Combo
Whenever she isin melee range, sheuses the 2-hit comboduring which she punches you twice.Try to dodge backwardto avoid it easily.
AoE Blast
If yousee her screechingandraising both her arms, itsignals an AoE blast. This does not have a lot of range, so it should be fairlysimple to avoid as long as you can create some distance. Remember that it does do a lot of damage if you are caught in it.
Leap Attack
When at some distance, sheleaps forward with a hard-hitting punch. While it does have adecently long wind-up animation, the punch itself is lightning-fast, making it a little tough to dodge it effectively.
After weakening her with your flashlight,unload your shotgun while avoiding the attacksdetailed above. Once you have damaged her enough, she will teleport ontop of the cabinetsin the area. While she is there, she will keep onthrowing boulders at you. Since it is pretty easy to dodge these, we recommend roaming around the area during this time to collect ammo.
During this phase, she will alsosummon a Paintedenemy. This enemy can only bedamaged by theBlack Rock Launcher, so be sure to save a little ammo for it. Once you have dealt with it, damage Dr. Marmont until she jumps down. Remember touse the Shotgun only when she is at close range. While she is on top of the platform, try to use the Handgun as much as possible.
Do note thatheadshots do significantly more damageto her, so try to land as many as possible.
During the final phase, burn her using your flashlight once more, followed by using the strategies explained above to finish her once and for all. Once you have finished her off,interact with the lever in the areafor the final cutscene.
