This may not be 100% accurate in some areas due to possible critical hits in places or maybe even a miscount on my part but it will do as a general ballpark figure at the very least.

One important thing to note about the bosses in REmake is that difficulty does not give them a larger HP value, they have the same amount on all difficulties.

This is what I've found during my test runs (TheMixedHerb). Note that Jill generally has a harder time knifing than Chris does, this is because Chris:

Runs faster meaning more effective dodging Swings his knife faster Has a wider range with the knife Deals more damage with the knife Is able to take more damage The up side for both characters is that having the knife equipped is the same as having no weapon equipped, which gives you a significant running speed boost.

Crimson Head Elder The safest method is to down slash, the fastest method is to upward slash though you will take damage, mid slash is pointless. Defence Items could help immensely if you take the riskier option.

Chris could end this fight a lot sooner with the help of a Flash Grenade, if you go for upper slashes he will most certainly grab you at some point. It's actually preferred that he grabs you if you go for the aforementioned option as it keeps him directly in front of you, just make sure you step forward once or twice so you don't miss and take the damage for nothing.

Plant 42 Upward slashes are really all that'll hit it, Jill has a much tougher time taking this down than Chris does. 42 is probably the most difficult boss to knife due to the sheer awkwardness of it and the fact that getting no damage is no easy feat with just the knife.

Yawn Up slashes require you to be very close and Yawn's top half must be raised, it's pointless to go for them. Downward slashes are the way to go and you can still get critical hits with them due to Yawn's head being low.

If you run forward a bit right at the start before heading down the ladder you can get two free hits in, at least one of which is a guaranteed critical since you're right in front of its head.

I'm not sure why mid slashes take more for Yawn, my best guess would be that downward slashes have a higher chance of hitting the face (which is what auto aim goes for) since they have the longest range of the three. In effect, a higher critical rate.

Tyrant Run past him, downward swings, whenever he turns, you go around his back, repeat. It generally doesn't matter which side you run past him as long as you get around him before he can react. Jill may have a tougher time getting around him fast enough due to her slower swings.
