introduction

hi!, im shotz and im the author of this walkthrough to the last mission of the game "GUN". if your reading this you have probably made it this far and got stuck on the last level like on many games before, congratulations for getting that far anyway.

so, you've managed to battle your way through bandits, gunfights, women, train robberies and more and you're finally here at the last duelling fight of your journey...MAGRUDER.

you want to kill the monstrosity? read on...


part 1 of "killing magruder"

ok, here we go.

firstly, you will be in a cave surrounded by blue-green geysers on the floor, dont worry about guns, the geysers are your weapons.

magruder will be walking around trying to shoot you with a multi-barrelled nock-gun (seven barrelled shotgun), i suggest you equip the dynamite bow and make sure its loaded to the max. stay opposite or behind magruder as he doesnt really follow you he just circles the cave shooting...stay well away from him, if you take a hit from his weapon it could kill you in one shot.

get far away and aim your dynamite bow at one of the geysers on the floor, practice timing it right so that when magruder walks onto the geyser the dynamite explodes and the geyser erupts, if you get this right his health goes down in huge chunks and it will only take about 4-5 hits to get to the next part.

tips: there are health and arrow respawns at either end of the cave, be near an arrow respawn whilst practicing timing the arrow shots.

stay low and out of his range, the big rock in the middle can be jumped through or over but magruder cannot do this, so use it to your advantage.

magruder moves randomly so make sure you are certain that he is going to walk onto a geyser before shooting the arrow, if you dont this could waste the ammo and the respawns arent there all the time! (about 30secs - 1min between respawn times).

use health respawns wisely, his shotgun can take the health bonus away in one hit.


part 2 of "killing magruder"

after you have taken enough of his health away with the "geyser trick", magruder decides to cheat a little and climbs onto a rockface at the front of the cave.

here it gets a little harder as you have alot of shooting to do and it takes quite a bit of skill. you can go anywhere in the cave to do this part but i find the easiest place is to crouch at the end of either one of 2 small rows of rock just in front of the rockface magruder is standing on:
crouch here> /^^/^/^^\^^^/^-^^^/^/^^ <
crouch at the end of the row, equip the rifle and when you can see magruders body slightly lean out (<~ or ~>) to the right or left depending on which row your at the end of and shoot at magruders head... if you can i found it easier to position the crosshair just to the left of him so as i lean out the crosshair moves right on him and you can shoot him more easily.
(read tips for evasion of his shots in this part)

once, you have shot him once or twice he will let out a grunt, this is your cue to switch to pistols and enter quick fire mode as he lobs a pack of dynamite toward you. as the dynamite is in the air flick the right analog (R) so it targets the dynamite and fire away (shoot as soon as it targets or you risk missing). if it works a large chunk of the cavern wall should fall and just miss magruder (damn!).

do this action 2 times on one end of a row of rock and 2 times on the other end. you can do all four times on the same end but the dynamite packs are harder to hit. once this is done you have slaughtered the one eyed creep...yeehaa!

tips:whilst trying to lean out and shoot magruder he will throw free dynamite sticks that could go anywhere, i recommend turning and running behind the center rock as the dynamite cannot usually get there.

using the sniper instead of the rifle means that it will force magruder to throw the pack of dynamite after you have shot him just once, but the sniper is slower to reload so the risk of being hit by his free dynamite sticks is higher.

the free dynamite stick kill you in one hit if you are too close and still harm a fair bit if your near it, i suggest running every time he throws just to be on the safe side.

in this part using the health respawns wisely is VITAL as it is only safe to go get them as soon as you have shot him once, try and get them any other time will probably get you blown up or shot with his nock-gun.

if you are within his range and/or out in the open he will also shoot you with his nasty nock-gun from part 1 be careful to stay under cover.

this tip could save your life and the day, but it could also kill you... if you miss the pack of dynamite
whilst in quick fire mode and its too late to run away then stay in quick fire mode and as the bomb hits the ground next to you flick the analog to target it and shoot it, the effect of the quick fire mode can sometimes spare you from the damage and basically let you cheat death, but be warned this sometimes does not work and can cause you to be blown to pieces and fail the mission... its a risky move.

final cutscene review

I found the cutscene quite disappointing really but thats my opinion.

reasons:

you do not kill magruder you just leave him to die in the cave.
you also try to escape in a cool way and then slip and nearly fall to join magruder.
your hand slips and you fall but out of nowhere the chief indian who was supposed to be holding forester's fort from the calvalry grabs you and hauls you up.
you walk away like nothings happened without even saying the traditional shoot-up computer game snappy phrase that somehow ties in with the storyline somewhere.

the only good bit about it is the falling rock that stops magruder swearing at you because it lands on his head and makes a gory mess.

post your comments on the final cutscene or the whole walkthrough here all comments will be appreciated i hope it helped you and i hope it gets you well on the way to getting %100 completion and unlocking the 2 bonus prizes (its worth it the gun is really cool).

thanks,
