How to Beat Marguerite Baker
Although Jack has the toughest boss in Resident Evil 7, Marguerite is definitely the creepiest. She always looks rotted and maniacal, while the other members of the family seem somewhat normal until you piss them off. She keeps a host of insects nearby and she roams the old house looking for anyone trying to escape. She’s vicious, temperamental, and possibly the most disgusting enemy you’ll face in the entire game.
Avoiding her will require you staying low and listening out for her, while also looking for the telltale glow of her lantern. She moves through the house slowly, but once she spots you she picks up speed quickly. She doesn’t always attack as soon as you enter a room though. If she happens to be near a door you open, she’ll startle you then slam it shut, causing tons of spiders to appear. If you do happen to pull her attention and can’t easily get away, your best friends are fire and a shotgun. She can take quite a beating, so you’ll need to hit her with everything you’ve got if you want to send her running.
As far as her boss encounter goes, you’ll need fire. It’s the easiest way to take out Marguerite and the bugs she summons to her aid. Also bring a shotgun to deal serious close range damage if she works her way into your personal space. Check out this guide of her boss fight.
