yay beat Monsoon and got the no damage trophyI was nervous as hell that it would glitch, but honestly, after I was told about the emp grenade trick it made the fight a lot easier.
Lucky you! I just spent a good 45min trying to get it down perfectly and NO TROPHY guess it glitched out on me. Honestly the hardest parts of that are parrying all his attacks after the 2nd throwing cars phase and the last throwing cars phase.
It is hilariously easy if you rev up the pincer blades on him after you knock away his head, you can do like 15% damage if you get a solid enough hit.

I'm gonna try and find all the collectible stuff before attempting another run on a higher difficulty. Sengoku Basara couldn't keep me away.
Requirements for S Rank in the book say
Time: 8 Mins
BP 200
Zandatsu 2
Longest combo 80
Kills 16
It takes a score of 4500 for S Rank, the score above is for 5000.
Shooting the grad should give you more than enough for a longer combo, if the missles are an issue throw a couple of EM grenades at it and spam homing or RPGs at it. RP grenades as well will hinder it's ability to fire at you

That sucks. Like I said I'm going to take a break for a few days, perhaps go on a cruise and do some yoga before I attempt anymore no damage trophies.
I was running from them at first but I'm too reliant upon the health drops. So now I do it every time.

Eh, I'll come back to it later. Still can't believe how overpowered Armstrong is. What's the point of his big flashy grapple moves and magical fire spells when his regular punches and kicks seem to hurt just as much?

So I got it today and won't play it until later (it's 12:48 A.M. for reference) but GameStop was out of the artbook. The only reason I preorder from them and they're out.
Played through the demo 10+ times though, so this will be exciting.
Also picked me up some Vanquish and Binary Domain.
At least I still get my "EXCLUSIVE PREORDER DLC, RIGHT?!"

Cutting the boulders is easy if you've practiced manual blade mode a bit.
Just find an area with no enemies and go into blade mode.
Play with your stick a bit and build up a nice rhythm for it.
Use the left analog stick to control the camera, right for the trajectory. You can jerk it back and forth for fast cuts like you would mashing Square, or just let your finger trail off of the stick so it snaps back to the neutral position resulting in a single precise cut.
Once you've had a few sessions you won't want to go back to mashing square/triangle.

Oh god VR mission 18, in do-or-die situations the camera is not very cooperative, I'll be ninja running to get away from an enemy, and when I stop to parry its attack, the camera will spin like crazy and completely throw-off my parry direction, and then I get one-shotted

Anyone else feel that if you didn't equip a item that you should be able to use L2 to switch between your HF blade heavy attack and your unique weapon heavy attack?

I don't remember having a lot of trouble with the final boss. I went in with only one nanopaste, and sure I died about 5 times from the falling rocks, but if you do it right one time, then you get a ton of extra healing items and from there the fight is smooth sailing. I was in blade mode when he started to glow green and hit him right away. I didn't even know that he heals from that until I came on here to see what other people thought.

Oh, did they do the localisation? I haven't heard the last few podcasts, I listen kinda infrequently unfortunately, but that's awesome.
Also, I haven't tried it since I've read this, but can you just press X and Y in Blade Mode? I've been doing none of that shit, I assumed you had to jam the right stick. It's more fun that way anyway.

HEY GUYS GUESS WHAT
I JUST S RANKED EVERYTHING IN R-04 REVENGEANCE INCLUDING THE LOBBY AND THAT FUCKING GARDEN FIGHT WITH 4 RPG GUYS AND MASTIFFS
...EXCEPT SUNDOWNER. FUCK. I GOT AN A RANK WITH NO DAMAGE.
Also, general tips for R-04 and R-06 Revengence would be cool. I have a super hard time parrying
four hit combo for some reason.
One more thing, what's the best way to deal with the Mastiff's jumping attack when you can't see them well?

It does. Or at least it will if you go to chapter select , except for the prologue.

Thanks for the info. Alright, now I'm just completely screwed. -_-
I went balls out and timed the fight and it took around 3 minutes, the timer itself says 10 minutes and some seconds during the ranking screen. Maybe it stacked the times from before when I went to customization or whatever. I dunno, looks like I'm SOL with this fight either way, dunno what to do now other than restart the entire chapter over and it has some of the most aggravating Revengeance encounters so far.
Anyone know if I redo this chapter afterwards but only S rank the fight I'm missing, will it update my overall progress later and count towards the Lightning God trophy?
I found this out the hard way. Shit sucks.
Anyone know where I can find the health/battery upgrades in levels? I can't seem to find it online.

You have to take it. That's just how it goes. Thank the camera + no warning.

It's the worst on the cargo elevator in R-04 since they spawn high up in the shaft and pounce on you. It's not even the camera's fault there. I'm thinking maybe get in a corner to minimize the amount of possible parry directions?
I really agree with this. I struggled badly until I worked with it. It makes things immensely easier.

GET IN THE CORNER?
WITH THIS CAMERA? JOO CRAZY?
Just keep moving, especially on the elevator. There's no way to keep track of multiple Mastiffs. Fight like one of em is always about to launch the cheapest attack possible and let your blade bathe in the blood of your enemies.

What's up with people not liking the final fight? I found the difficulty to be in line with the rest of the game. He might hit for a lot but that fight spews out healing items.
Finished the game today on normal. A few thoughts. These will be more cons but that's because they're sticking out to me right now.
- camera isn't so great. It jerks around way too frequently in cramped areas.
- not a big fan if having to mash the stick for getting stunned all the time. Granted, getting better will help this, but truthfully I'd rather take the damage ad get knocked down.
- Raiden gets caught on items a bit much. Fences/glass doors.
- I would've liked to see the level design have a bit more originality. It was similar in ways to Vanquish. That's not a bad thing but I would've liked it to define itself better.
- getting into a groove, taking out multiple enemies ending in a double health grab feels amazing.
- taking an off a limb here and there in a group fight is also great.
It's hard to really say how I feel about the combat system after just one playthrough. Off the bat I don't think it's the same caliber as Vanquish or Bayonetta but I'm hoping harder difficulties bring out the best in the game.
I actually didn't like the first couple bosses as much as the later ones but I have a feeling that's because I was getting progressively better. The intensity of some of the bosses is pure bliss.

You're only going to A rank it unless you get some Zandatsus or a good combo, no damage or not.

You need 50 hits to get the full combo bonus on the Sundowner fight lol.
The combo requirement in general is completely fucking awful, it was the sole reason I didn't get an S-Rank in a lot of the game's fights. The requirement makes even less sense in subsequent playthroughs since you get much stronger, thus kill things much faster <_<
Platinum plz v_v

You can get huge combos using the Fox Blade of all weapons by simply ninja running in circles and mashing light attack on severed enemy parts.

Fuck yeah, just S ranked R-06 on Revengeance. Just gotta do 04 and 07 now. I think I'm more worried about 04 to be honest. The final boss is tough but 04 is pretty much a gauntlet of "fuck you".
