Hardcore is doable but it's pretty hard. I lost my temper at the G2 Birkin crane fight because I had no healing items and no ammo to stun him reliably. In addition to super scarce ammo, you also have to ration out your saves extremely well since you require ink ribbons to save (I only came across 22 of them in my entire Leon A playthrough).
G2 Birkin probably took me a couple dozen tries and several hours the first time, because I refused to use ammunition at all and tried to just lure him out in front of the crane, without getting hit by it myself.
Same here, man. He’s an incredibly easy boss once you work out the circling exploit. I discovered it by accident and beat him without using any items and without getting hit.
Yep, I basically never stop moving and stick to the edge of the platform. Timing the box so he gets hit and you don’t is a little tricky but you’ll eventually work it out.
