3. How to Kill Sturm? 

You have your first interaction with Sturm at the area filled with narrow and winding hallways, where the walls are destructible. Sturm is mighty in close-range battle, so try to maintain distance from him. Place the mines which you found within the boss battle area and lure Sturm to that way to give severe damage. 

Allow Sturm to clear the walls before you can maneuver in by avoiding his attacks. Widening the area helps you to dodge his attacks easily. 

Sturm will come charging himself towards you to kill you with his firebombs and blades. So, you should dodge these attacks and take the support of the unbreakable wall, aim towards its weak point, i.e., his back with your shotgun or rifle. Placing mines will also help you in slower down Sturm.

Now, he’s getting pissed off and attaining a new fire-breathing attack in the process. You have to dodge this attack and inflict some damage that weakens his back. Otherwise, he’ll throw you to hell. 

Sufficient damage will cause the Sturm to overheat, and a continuous attack to its back helps you beat this mini-boss. 

4. Conclusion

To defeat Sturm, you have to maintain the distance from the boss. Dodging his powerful firing attacks and dealing enough damage to his back helps you in taking down the enemy. You will get a complex Mechanical Heart from the ashes of Sturm as a reward. Now, move ahead to execute the Main boss, Karl Heisenberg.
