Killing the Verdugo in RE4

Up until recently I didn't even know you could kill Salazar's right hand. I always ran from him since I figured that was the only option (kinda like how Steve's fight is in CVX). When I do my second playthrough on professional I'm going to actually fight him instead of taking the elevator out. Any tips on how to beat him?

I always took the easy way out and freeze his ass with some nitrogen and shot him with a rocket and the fight last about 10 seconds, but you can do the same without the rocket launcher but it will take a little longer depending on what weapons you have.

Sarge has the right idea. Rocket Launchers are your best friend on Professional. Except against Krauser

I know right, when I first played that I used one on him and later I found out that using your knife is the best thing you can do.

I used up the free rocket launcher on Salazar. I think I'll use it on the Verdugo next play-through.

Yeah using the rocket launcher on Salazer is very useful too.
