The way I finally did it was to just sit in the passageway and move up to the 
edge to snipe at the support troops.  Once I had those out of the way I used 
the same technique to wear out the big guy.  I also found out the hard way 
that if the sound for the big guy gets really loud to back away from the edge 
right away and *do absolutely nothing* until the sound fades.  Hope this helps
