How to kill a hell knight by blood punch?

[igg]

I couldn't figure out how to do that properly. Right now it seems kinda ramdom to me:

• My first try was to weaken him by attacking with weapons first and then blood punch him. Result: He was killed, +1 achievement counted.
• Second try was the same but for some reason, he was not killed but staggered
• Next try was to stagger him, wait until he recovers and then blood punch him. Again he was not killed but staggered.
• Next I tried blood punching him together with a dash, didn't kill him.
• ...

One super shotgun blast and two blood punches should do the job.

I usually just hit them with a 3 rocket barrage and it kills them. Reason being you can replenish that ammo with one chainsaw of a fodder, and two blood punches require some glory kills, and not just 2.

its completely random, I recommend just charging up 2 blood punches, spamming E next to him and hoping for the best.

It depends where you are in the game. Being able to have two charged blood punches isn't even available until mission 12.

You can complete weekly events while cheats are enabled.  A fully upgraded Slayer can one-shot a Hell Knight with a blood punch and the Onslaught power-up.

Didn't think of using Onsalught.   I turned on one-hit stagger and one-hit kill when staggered and make sure glory kill from farther rune is NOT selected.   Then I would hit them with something to stagger and blood punch an enemy nearby so the shockwave kills them and it counts.

1 Missile + Flame Hook and close SSG + 2 to 1 Bloodpunch does the trick. Tho I recommend saving bloodpunch for Mancubus and Pinkies.
