I played co-op on Hardcore and Raam was definitely easier to beat when its co-op. I as Marcus just stayed at the first cover area while my friend went to the opposite cover area in the light. Both of us had sniper rifles. It seemed like Raam didn't know who to attack. He just kept sending his Kryll and took turns shooting at us but he was never successful. For every time he was "open" we laid 6 sniper rifle shots to his head. We finally beat him when he advanced towards me and I shot him point blank to the head just as he fired his weapon. That was the only gut-wrenching part as I was reloading when he was walking towards me.
I tried playing the game on Insane but couldn't even get past the first stage of the first act by myself. I think co-op is the only way to go if one is to try playing on Insane level.

+what I do is load up on bow ammo and sniper, then sit behind first wall and start with bow, and lay them into him as fast as possible, one after the other, krill or not, the bow will scare them away. once all bows are used up i switch to sniper head shots, when he gets close like 15 ft away blind throw all your nades quickly. then back to sniper if he is still alive, I was abel to kill him on insane by myself with out having to move from first wall, but just bairly,

also learn to blind shoot for when he is close, I take a pistol and stand away from a wall and fire off a few blind shots then with a marker, mark the bullet impacts area on my screen to make my own riticule for blind shooting.

and last but not least , make every shoot count, dont miss a single shot, you need all the bows damage you can get and if you miss he just gets closer with less damage,

and if you still cant do it, you can go on to youtube and see videos of people beating raam, just put in a search for " raam gow" or "raam xbox"

If I were you I would just skip right to insane lvl. you will not notice much difference between the two. only your health will go down just a little faster but not much.

I got all the way to Generall RAMM on insane on my own but just couldn't beat him. In the end i started a co-op game and managed to kill him as he got stuck behind a block.

Kind of feel i cheated doing it this way as i didn't do it on my own and all i had to do was shoot duck and shoot again no need to try and avoid him.

heres how I beat him on insane-have the bow , the sniper and the magnum,and 4 grenades.When you start the fight get behind the wall and charge up the bow all the way before you put youre face up for the shot-pop up hit him in the face-the arrows do hurt him through the kryll-so do the snipes,as soon as he starts moving toward you freethrow your grenades straight over the wall at him, when he gets to the other side of the wall-stay ducked and freeshoot him in the face with the magnum- dont move to the other side until you absolutely have to(ive seen him get stuck way back by where he starts and on the other side of the wall)best thing I can tell you is dont give up-this is ridiculously hard and all you need is one time getting lucky!

no shame in calling for help once in a while (i tried killing him +30 times by myself before i gave up and called in some random player to help) anyway unlike some of you ive managed to beat RAAM by myself on hardcore and i didnt even swear out loud when i died or gloated when i killed him (i only did that on insane). if anyone needs me to help them beat the locust send me a PM. (and dont let the wrecthes get ya Twisted Evil)
