Defeating Grays
To defeat Grays that use shields, mutate and fire parasites at them. It will bring down the shields faster than any other weapon in the game.
Defeating the Thetas
The best way to defeat a Theta is to first mutate. Next, fire parasites; or if you want to take a chance, fire contagion to lay some heavy damage on him. Use contagion for heavy damage, but parasites also work well, especially because they heal you. When your mutagen runs low, run up and melee him and the enemies he releases on you. Keep doing this and he will eventually go down. This will take some time to accomplish and may be difficult at first.
Defeating the Super Beast:
When fighting the Super Beast, rather than running straight at him, run around in a circle. When he gets near an explosive barrel, shoot it. It does more damage then the BBG. Watch out for his plasma shooting arm as well. When you finish, Edgar will talk to you, and you get to see him.
