go into first person mode and lob grenades over the crates. at least thats how i did it. i didnt even touch the electrical panel to shock it.

Hey, there *is* a strategy guide for THE THING available from Prima Books.

That sounds like Half-life....what are you all talking about?

Yeah... ive played it, took 2 days, its WAY too short, the part your on gave me some trouble too.... Just lob grenades, as Azul said. To further explain, i went over there and strafed around and pumped em full of shotgun ammo, then lobbed all my flame grenades at em from behind the crates... make sure to lob them FAR enough or you will get caught in the blast even from behind the crates, it took me about 3 of em after shooting its butt off, if you manage it, make sure to save BEFORE going into the new little area it opened up, there is a bomb inside and you will have to escape, took me a few times to figure out what door opened, lol. Anyway, thats about it... simple boss compared to whats coming up later, if you have enough grenades, you can smoke him without ever getting in range of his attacks, like 5 of the big ones, 5 of the small ones and 2 flame ones will do it no question. Good luck!
