Heavy Metal F.A.K.K 2, is a third-person shooter computer game made by Ritual Entertainment in 2000. A sequel to the Heavy Metal 2000 animated movie. FAKK2 allows players to pair up and use two weapons at the same time depending on the situation - for example, sword and shield for maximum defense, sword and UZI for both range and melee capability, or dual-wield UZIs for maximum firepower. Players can also block enemy attacks and execute powerful combo moves to deal even deadlier blows to their enemies. The game uses the Quake III game engine (id tech 3).

[edit] story
| Julie Strain |
The heroine, Julie, was inspired by Julie Strain, who provided the voice for the heroine in the movie, and the game is linked to Heavy Metal Magazine. Strain, is married to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles co-creator and Heavy Metal magazine Editor in Chief Kevin Eastman. Julie often appears in the magazine (Heavy Metal) in photos or pictures painted by her close friends Olivia De Berardinis, Simon Bisley, and Luis Royo.
F.A.K.K.² stands for Federation Assigned Ketogenic Killzone to the second level, and is the alias both of the heroine, Julie, and also her homeworld. Before the game begins, we are told that Julie has previously fought a 'would-be God' named Tyler, and brought the remnant of her people to a planet called Eden. This planet is camouflaged by an FAKK2 beacon and made to look like a biohazard-strewn wasteland in the hope that it will remain hidden from Tyler and his master Gith, who are still at large. Gith himself, who appears only as a disembodied head in the final cut scene, runs a hyper-corporation called Gith Industries whose 'employees' are little more than slaves. He scavenges the universe in a ship composed of three-quarters of a planet, and is headed for a place called Na'ChThraThull, or the 'place of the soft machines'. This will turn out to be Eden.

First of all destroy the arms protecting the head, then shoot the head when it's throwing lightnings.

First thing to do is to shoot him until he kneel down to the floor. Then use the kind of leather hover to stop his regeneration process. the second time his left arm will fall, giving you his sword. Continue firing him until his health amount became dramatical, then go ahead with his sword to finish him. Aim for the head.
