Executioner Majini



A Majini seen carrying an enormous axe. The Executioner is a very large and disturbing foe wearing a blood-soaked black cloth over his head that conceals his face, and a large black apron, tattered and soaked in blood. He also has dozens of nails potruding from every few square inches of his exposed skin, including two very large hooks impaled into his back; if this was the case with a normal human being, they would be dead or in excruciating pain. His most notable feature, however, is his weapon of choice: a very large and heavy axe with what appears to be an oversized hammer opposite to the blade. Despite his power, the Executioner's role in the storyline is minimal, serving as the literal executioner in the death of Reynard Fisher. After some time has passed in the following swarm of Majini, the Executioner will enter the fray and try to kill Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar. If the player does not kill him, he will disappear with all the other remaining Majini when Kirk arrives to blow open the gate.

Two modified versions of the Executioner appear in The Mercenaries mode. On Public Assembly, the Executioner has an increase range of mobility, meaning the player can not avoid him by jumping onto a separated platform. The special Executioner, The Executioner (Red) appears on the final stage Prison and is much faster than the previous version, his axe is a fiery red and you will notice he has an obvious weak spot, on his back is a large, pink, fleshy, spiky spot.

Killing the Executioner with normal weapons is quite easy to achieve on lower difficulties, provided you pick up a fair few hand grenades and keep shooting around his head area when he drops, or assault him when he drops. Upon dying, the Executioner will drop a gold ring. The reason behind the Executioner's exceptional vitality is a muscle and skin enhancing chemical, a unique secretion found only in the Executioner.

He also appears in the online Slayer mode and will go for the nearest player. Many other players will stall opponents, making them easy targets. Unlike the story mode, players on Slayer mode die by (unrealistically) blowing up into chunks of gore.

He also has a figure of himself.

strategy

 * he has no jumping ability so you can run passed him and clime up the ladder to buy you some time since he has to travil around to get to you.
 * if you do this watch him walk around and snipe him but watch out for other majini when he opens his entance run to the stares and shoot him a few times the run to the left to the corrnor and then hop down.
 * if you got a few hits he should fall in a few shots if not repeat.(If you do this right he'll fall in no time. it hard if you gust started playing.)

Attacks

 * Axe Slam - Takes the player into dying status.
 * Axe Swing - Same as Axe Slam, except if he catches both of you it will result in instant death.
 * Grab/Choke - He will choke you until he violently thrusts you down to the floor and tries to kill you. If the player doesn't successfully press the dodging buttons, it will kill you.

Attack Prompts

 * Kneel - The Executioner will kneel down after being caught almost any attack that damages him enough, allowing an opening for Uppercut for Chris, Somersault for Sheva, Sweep Kick for Jill, and Tiger Uppercut for Wesker.
 * Recovering from Melee - The Executioner will only do this upon being struck while in kneel, or being Knee cannoned by Wesker. The player will prompted to do Straight for Chris, Roundhouse for Sheva, High Kick for Jill, and Cobra Strike for Wesker.
