Specialist Cross: One of my favorite boss battles from the my last gaming years. It was like a long DMC battle, but more chaotic and you can actually throw shit at tim. I screamed SIT DOWN to him when I launched him a sofa.
@Lifty You're not getting something that's supposed to be obvious. It's a boss fight, it's supposed to be hard, and, in some cases, tedious. It wouldn't be much of a boss fight if they were easy.
... This is a remix of the final boss music! I just noticed this now. This is a softer, more quiet version of the boss, and after you see the identity of who consumed Cross, you fight him to a more dynamic and fierce battle theme befitting the final boss. Sascha and Cris are geniuses!
Cross: Mercer your a hard man to find Mercer: tell me who sent you Cross: you should pick your friends more carefully Mercer Mercer: if being in here means that Parker sold me out...fine you'll pay then her
The line "You're fast, but I'm faster" honestly kinda bugs me because there is no way in hell Cross (a human) should be faster than a living bio weapon virus
@@thescruffinator8830 he isn't the supreme hunter himself. He got consumed by the supreme hunter later in the game. If I was him, I'd just run instead of fight, knowing that I won't stand a chance. Besides, he's waaay faster than Alex.
On the harder difficulties he can stun you with his cattle prod if you try to whipfist him. That's what makes him such a toss to beat. Speaking of tossing, I preferred to musclemass and ditch stuff at him.
On normal I thought “oh I’ll just cheese him with ranged” nope he was not having it. Ironically having the horde come it made it easier. More targets to use as meat shields and more things to throw at him
The Whipfist's long range (Y/Triangle/RMB) attack makes it easier. Or, if playing in New Game +, use a fully charged Blade Air Slice. Even on Hard, that battle will only take three Air Slices on Cross to beat.
Best boss in the game, let's be real. Cross is more fair than the other bosses, isn't an enemy spam-fest like Mother, doesn't do crap-tons of damage like Stage 2 Supreme Hunter, and is more enjoyable than Stage 1 Hunter. Sure, some people have a harder time against some bosses more than others, but Cross is a cakewalk compared to the Stage 2 Supreme Hunter. That boss can go rot in hell for all I care, and the community agrees on that notion.
@@ninamercer2509 Uh no because they simply changed it completely, they never intended you to... change the appearence of the claws at the time of its development
@@Cruddy129 what are you talking about? All she said was that he could morph into that, if he wanted to. He's a shapeshifter... he can literally take any form he really wants. Just that it would be too hard to implement a feature like that. Even today. Lore can't always match up with games, because games are much more limited than books and movies...
i played in hard and everything was hard. still i beat everything and got platinum achievements on everything after only 120 hours :D i miss games like these that actually challenge you
"You're fast, but I'm faster."

*Destroys him with blade air slice 3 times on HARD mode in 55 seconds*

@Lifty Oh wow, boss battles that are actually hard, how shocking.

the final boss fight theme is actually a mashup of the specialists and supreme hunters’ themes, too!
@@we-must-live this tells you that basically both are one and the same
Cross: Mercer your a hard man to find
Mercer: tell me who sent you
Cross: you should pick your friends more carefully Mercer
Mercer: if being in here means that Parker sold me out...fine you'll pay then her
"You think you won Mercer?"
The line "You're fast, but I'm faster" honestly kinda bugs me because there is no way in hell Cross (a human) should be faster than a living bio weapon virus
He had the redlight virus in him. He was a super soldier, according to the wiki anyway.
@@mr.braindead8151 Captain Cross was able to 1v1 a Runner and able to beat it so ill not say his just a normal human also i think his a super soldier
he's a super soldier capable of turning into a supreme hunter, i'd say it's entirely possible that he's faster.
@@mr.braindead8151
i. . . didn't know that

Cross = E. Blonski from hulk? Did he had the same super soldier operation? Overwise there is no damn explanation why he is faster !
The cellos/violins in this track are friggin awesome.

Say, isn't this the song when you fight Specialist Cross? As much trouble I had with that battle, the music made it epic.
Cross is/was the Albert Wesker of PROTOTYPE.
0:54 epic
Aaron Strzelewicz yup
It was an easy fight for me...I mean all you do is whipfist him the entire time.
He electrocutes you if you whipfist him
@@ninamercer2509 only on hard dificulty
He’s even easy on Hard+ you can use Blade's Air Slice on him 3 times and then done.
nice...................

Amen brother
Prototype 2 didn't have enough bosses
Cross was enjoyable, supreme hunter was a bitch, greene was just a tanky flesh sack that spammed those homing ball things.
elizabeth greene:*sad hope,idaho noises*
and the only human that is capable of fighting mercer
i dont remember him having a 'bird claw' power in the game, like he does in this picture
He can shift his body into any shape he wants, they just didn't put it in the game because it'd take way too much time and effort
It was actually his Beta version for Claws
Thats the same claw power, this is just an early concept art of Alex, this was before he had the black and spiky metal claws we know

Resident evil vs prototype uroboros vs alex mercer
@TheGilboChannel with muscle mass he hass all five fingers though, doesnt he?

Who doesn't?
I really HATE Specialist Cross, he was like five times harder than that worm Greene.
Someone didn't play it on hard eh, Curtis? He was a fucking pain.
Idk then, maybe it was just because I hadn't bothered to upgrade anything major at that point yet.
i played in hard and everything was hard. still i beat everything and got platinum achievements on everything after only 120 hours :D i miss games like these that actually challenge you
The Worm Greene is called "Mother" just thought you may like to know.
@@BeagleBuddy-qf7uw yeah yeah
omg it's Nicolas cage!!
Alex mercer is evil wow!!!
