Black Widow (Dirge of Cerberus)

Black Widow is a boss in Chapter 5 of Dirge of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII-. It is a relatively easy fight compared to some of the earlier bosses encountered. At a distance, its normal machine gun attack is easily avoided because the robot gets confused when the player passes to the other side of the room. This robot has a massively powerful laser attack, but it can be avoided if the player runs in a zigzag pattern.
Also, when the Black Widow climbs up the walls onto the ceiling, it is vulnerable to an easy attack. If the player deals enough damage, the Black Widow will fall and reveal a light part, which is its weak point. If the player fails to do this, the Black Widow will drop grenades from the ceiling, but they can be easily dodged because they do not explode on impact. Instead, they explode after a few seconds, which allows enough time for the player to run away.
