Nubian boy......

Hello

Is there any way to kill the nubian boy
at Meroe? (I think it's chapter 11)
Yes, I know you need him to help you, but
I have already completed the game and now
I am replaying it.
First I tried to ram the boy with indy's
jeep, however that proved unsuccessful. Next
I tried to blast him away with the rocket launcher, that didn't work either. (the boy just runs into his cave when seeing the incoming missile from a distance.)
"I'll snipe him from a distance", I then thought, feeling pretty sure my plan was foolproof.....nope that nubian boy has an incredible ability to spot projectiles in mid air.
Perhaps there is some way I can sneak up on him, with indy's shotgun close at hand?
I would like the views of others on this matter.

Nope, I've also just about tried everything in the book. He's too quick.

You are one sick fu****
