Omg, the final boss is the best fight in the game.

Monsoon trophy might be glitched. I've heard people who got it the second time.

It probably should be advised that you remove the nanopaste after
for the sake of having an easier time.
Cutting rocks isn't that hard though.
Defeating EXCELSUS and keep it off until the final segment against Armstrong

Holy crap. And all this time I've been mastering my bushido swings. This works on zandatsu lining up too?
Took this picture in Liverpool last week

this week I get to play it
Is there any easy way to identify the soldiers with left arms to take?

it is if you're using the manual cut mechanic..
using both analog sticks and hitting the attack button to CUT (not pulling the opposite direction on the analog stick) when you've lined it as best you can should do it.. and make sure you're leveling up your blade mode, it could be some of you guys have been neglecting it and blade mode is running out before ou can complete the sequence..
yes it does, quite well too

Wait...what? Is this real? If so, when is it coming? Wolfblade was hands down the coolest character in the game, and I just kept thinking how awesome it'd be to play a whole game as him. This is fantastic news.

Yep. I still do the analog Zandatsu when precision is required, but in other situations I'll just mash the buttons.

yeah, i could imagine it would be, when i knew i could use the face buttons to cut, i never went back, this should be explained better in the game, a sequence where you cut a line of watermelons that fly at you line up in various ways would fit the story perfectly.
It was announced shortly after the release of the game.

It will be the third DLC to be released, the first being a couple of new VR missions and the second being you play as Jetstream Sam.

I think it still counts if you fast forward through some lines.
you just gotta make sure you're calling codec whenever
- a new enemy type shows up(or one you haven't gotten the calls for)
- after every major event in a level(appearance of a boss, beating of a boss. you reach an objective)
- during different stages of a boss battle or during an encounter with unique conditions(civilians)

I really don't get how you do this. I did beat it without this advice, but I almost need a video of you doing this. Do you have three thumbs? As soon as I let go of right analog, Raiden swings. If that swing wasn't lined up properly, he gets hit by the boulder. No time to hit the other buttons.
I also don't think Blade Mode can run out during this. It drains, yes, but even if it gets to empty, I believe time stays slowed down. Course, I could be wrong, the whole thing is over almost before it starts every time.

Yeah, I used the buttons for the Monsoon fight when you got cut shit too. Way easier.
It also helps in the Zandatsu VR mission(s?), where you just slide into the first guy and hit L1, Triangle then Circle to take him out in 5 seconds, haha.

Probably the blade mode being neglected thing. Although I've used manual aiming for the rocks anyway.

Don't let the right stick "snap" back to neutral and Raiden won't cut.
Sam was my favourite boss so i need this straight into my veins.

I did the Armstrong cutscene letting the stick snap
all 3 times
the only time I got hit was when I let go of zandatsu thinking there was only one rock
are people not moving the left stick to adjust for the different rocks?
Really not sure how moving a line is giving people so much trouble.

This is crazy. I did this a lot in mgs for lols but in such fast paced game it's just out of place.
Thank's for the info, I'll be trying.

a lot of people are only using one analog stick and the way the line moves in that situation is odd and counter intuitive..getting used to quickly tapping the button to cut would work wonders for a lot of folks i think

The main problem, at least in my case, is that when I release the right analog stick it moves ever so slightly out of place and messes up the alignment.

FINAL BOSS:
NANOMACHINES, SON!
Man I know how you feel. Once I beat that boss i wont fight him again.
Yes it is. I wonder if that part of the game is broken or is my controller broken.

DON'T GIVE UP MANG >__<
learn to dodge jump and light attack to hop back and a direction to avoid the glowing yellow attack, and wail on him when he whiffs and be ready to back off again, and nail the blade mode for some health pastes
Danny Dudekisser
I paid good money for this Dynex!
Well, duh.
The game is not broken, practice blade mode with the analog stick and you'll see it's not THAT hard. The worst you can do is panic when that part comes up, keep calm and take your time.
Heaven forbid the final boss of a game actually requires you to know how to play. :lol
Just slide out of the way. Worked every time for me.

He shouldn't. Are you using ninja run to the side?
What I mean is I would go back and play the game again and fight the other bosses even Monsoon but not the last boss again.
I went through that with Sundowner. The Last Boss fight seem to make my controller stop working. Just as I am about to cut the second debris (the first one is ok) the camera immediately goes to the ground and the debris hits me. When it comes to that part of the fight i am praying to god that my controller works.

For the final boss
that dodge-slash move is a godsend! And it just looks so fuckin cool.

Neutral jumping worked out for me. He stops where you are, but you're in the air, so lol.

don't hit a direction and hit dodge and no direction, you''ll jump back, i mastered that and went toe to toe with him more often than not
never thought of that! i'd miss out on some free hits but it would keep someone who hasn't mastered it safe
i thought he meant the dodge offset, light attack and the jump button (if you purchased it)

Just finished my first playthrough (played on hard). Last boss was annoying as hell, and not that fun. It's only when I almost stopped caring and stopped putting in effort that I beat him.
I had also turned the music right down, so I'm currently sitting through unskippable credits in silence.
And they misspelled Phil LaMarr in the credits?! Shameful.

Looks like I know what my next DLC purchase is going to be. Bladewolf missions sound too cool for words. Hopefully, Platinum delivers.

It has nothing to do with knowing how to play. There are some cheap elements about it. I'm not a very good player, but I got to the last boss on hard, my first time through the game, with little difficulty. The most I died on any boss up to that point was Monsoon, and he took me out a total of one time. Yet I literally spent all day on the final boss because of his stupid area attacks which where cheap because of not only the camera but the fact that he'll make those flame barriers, forcing you into a tight space sometimes, and then do those area attacks that he does at the beginning of the fight -- meaning you're trapped with absolutely no means to dodge this.
It's imbalanced and feels more sporadic and sometimes luck-based, from which most of our frustrations arise.

I back off as soon as I see yellow and ninja run clockwise around him
Yeah, running away can sometimes be more effective than using the dodge. "Jump cancel whatever you're doing and getting the hell out of there" is a good strategy sometimes.
Oh, my comment was only directed at the people complaining about needing to manually aim in blade mode.
Hooooooly hell, does this game take a HUGE difficulty spike when you get to the World Marshal tower or what?? What crap is that all about recycling bosses. I can't get passed AI Monsoon. I love how Boris is like "Is AI. No problem for u yessss?" Yeah, it was the same AI the first time around you asshat.
