Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance |OT| A Blade Forged In Platinum [LAW OF THE WILD]

You can stop him from healing by running behind him and going into blade mode. You'll then be able to slash his back and stop him from healing.
Spoiler tag it, dude. x.x
I started off with hate but began to love it as I figured it out. It's just a huge difficulty spike that not everyone may be willing to adjust to.
After all the talk about NG+ I just tried it. You can go to the chapter select or just press continue. Your stats are missing in the 00 chapter beacause of the story. After the 5 minute gameplay you get almost everything back 
Just for the info because some people said NG+ is only in chapter select.

This is wrong. When he heals you must run up to him and use blade mode. A target around the head should pop up. That way you stop him healing.
Monsoon is a fucking dick. I hate this battle.
Many people seem averse to challenging and/or unconventional systems or scenarios these days. There are bound to be some put off who won't bother to learn. Which is fine -- everyone enjoys things differently.

The FOX Blade is overpowered, it's highly priced for a very good reason.
Oh man, I expected fucking eagles and a waving American flag at one point.
Beating the shit out of the ugly apathteic side of America is FUN!
Aye, I think
the Muramasa
I'm in the minority who hated the boss. He was fun and a worthy last boss. The character though, is so fucking absurd.

Probably not Americans.

Fox Blade stops being effective after few chapters (on hard). It doesn't super cut anymore and does pitiful damage so you must upgrade it for another 100 000 to be effective again. Not counting every other normal upgrade.

when i got the second cut frequency enhancement, every single non boss enemy gets cut..EVERY..SINGLE..ONE..bosses are absolutely immune though.

I think their issue with it is how it
descends into parody. It doesn't fit at all with the tone set by every other level in the game.
I had fun with it but the reason people dislike it isn't nonsense.

Like, I wasn't expecting it but damn I love a challenge in this day and age. It's hard to find any games nowadays that actually challenge you; even when you pick a higher difficulty. This is difficulty in its purest and most rawest form and god damn I felt so good when I beat him after how many times I tried.
My point exactly.

Just perfected Sam. It was pretty easy, but his bullcrap rock fling attack made me start again three times. I definitely appreciate his battle theme a lot more now, at least!

Nice.
Any tips on
Monsoon boss?
Feels so drawn out, that I'm missing something. When he's "salad" mode nothing works on him beside emp grenade. Is there any way to hit him when he's like that beside emp?

The only boss I have problem with.

Just tried this no joke, about 100 times. Gotta walk away before I break something.

Continue to parry every one of his hits and eventually you will be able to counter hit him, then blade mode when the screen turns blue to hit the little thing on his head. This will allow you to strike him since he cannot activate his "salad" mode.

Leave it for tomorrow. I didn't have time to finish it one night left it and next morning fresh mind and 4 minutes - done. Leave it when you're rested.
Thanks!

Yes. The alternate weapons replaces your triangle attack. You can dodge with square + x, but you have to purchase the skill.

wow man, i feel bad for you, where exactly are you failing? and if you're on a PS3 make make sure your controllers charged..but definitely take a breather.
Yes to both (even with one of them equipped, the dodge still works the same).

What does the post credits scene imply? Usually Metal Gear games have some pretty good post credit sequences and almost always throws a huge plot twist at you. But this one did nothing for me. Is he just gonna continue fighting cyborgs? lol

I think it implies that he is going to continue fighting to stop the child trafficking and turning them into fighting cyborgs. As you saw in the story how Raiden makes it clear that he doesn't want anyone else turning into what he has become. With the ending being open, they can do sequels.

If you start from a checkpoint and collect some items, then save, then die, the items will be collectable again. And you can repeat that as many times as you want. I don't know if that's a glitch but it's kind of dumb.

Finally beat the game. Thanks to all the advice in here.
Could not figure that out for the life of me, and I'm glad that there was a trick that I was missing rather than my reflexes just being terrible or something like I thought.
A truly excellent game that is only marred by a few minor faults. This is only the third Metal Gear game I have played, but I found it to be vastly more suited to my own gaming tastes than others. The action is superb. The story is straightforward, but entertaining. The boss fights are memorable. The action set pieces are actually pretty exciting. The difficulty curve is nice.
All-in-all, Platinum delivered once again, further cementing them as the premier action developer out there in my eyes. I can't wait for the future of this company. They are just too good.
Especially for the camera adjustment in the Zandatsu debris-slicing portions.

You don't even have to die, just select restart

So anyone unlock all weapons yet? I really hate using the fox blade because it takes a lot of the intensity out of the game.
Not sure if I should spoiler or not but I will anyways.

I know the muramasa is definitely stronger than the HF blade. How about the Stun blade / armor breaker? From what I have noticed the only differences between the HF blade and the HF machete / Long sword is range. As for stun blade / armor breaker I think they're just the HF blade with a bonus ability on top. Even though the stun blade when it procs seems to activate instant executions rather than just incapacitate like the text suggests.
Wouldn't this make the stunblade fully maxed out the best possible weapon?

i have a feeling a LOT of people are only using one analog stick, and bombing hard like i did the first time i tried it that way, that two analog adjustment is extremely important to that battle, so much so i think its best people keep it in mind long before they meet the boss
Fuck Mastiffs I swear im going break my left analog stick , fighting the 2 on the elevator in chapter 4 and it none stop Raiden being stunned or trying get out of grabs. I wish platinum remember TO STOP MAKING US WAGGLE THE ANALOG GET OUT OF STUNS i never had so much issue in Bayonetta but man this game with Mastiffs is irritating.
Odd really Im on hard no issues with bosses never died yet but mastiffs and mobs kill me

Go ripper mode to instantly kill one, makes the fight much more manageable

Actually, you have to manually save before restarting
I'll be highly disappointed if
somehow Sam doesn't return. He was by far the standout character (not boss, thats Monsoon). He had interesting motivations. He is also the only boss you don't slice to pieces. Besides final boss. I know we are getting a dlc for him, but that probably won't flesh him out too much.
SO CUTE! How does it see through all the FUZZY WUZZINESS!
