I'm making a game where currently my enemy can be shot 5 times to be destroyed, and I'd like to have head shots instantly kill them. How can I point out the head to Construct 2?

Pretend that your enemy has the original point at his center.

Add an imagePoint below his head(could named it "neck")

Compare the Y of bullet when collide with the enemy:

If Y < Enemy.ImagePointY("neck") --> Instantly Kill

Else ---> Subtract 1 HP

OR you can have a fake head which pin to your enemy head but opacity =0, then you can check the collide with the fake head to kill him instantly.

Cheers.

Great thanks that helps me out a ton. I thought of the fake head option but wanted to avoid it.
