So glad these are free
Gonna download them but I don't think I'm motivated to touch them any time soon

That'd probably be easier. One parry = kill everything at once.

Hah, I died a couple of waves in (mission #30/#50)
.
15 minutes for Gold though
lol, you know it's optional, right?
The Mastiffs in the final VR mission weren`t dying to the perfect parry.

I think it's PS3-exclusive in US. If you're in the U.K. or something you can get it on 360 for like 240 MSP.

When I selected "DOWNLOADS" in the title screen it wasn't there yet.
Hmm, that pretty much confirms Very Hard mode? I think Mastiffs die to a perfect parry even on Hard.
Can the Mastiffs and Fenrirs one shot you? Or can you at least take a few hits before you die?
After playing all of the DLC missions I declare them to be as shitty as the regular ones, and just as fun. Meaning, not. Free is the right price for this thing.
No, it's not Revengeance difficulty, which only makes the mission shittier since your counter parry is good for nothing.

Managed to no-damage Mistral finally. She was a lot more aggressive on hard :lol I don't remember how many times I restarted but it was a good opportunity practice evasion and parries for sure. I'm not above cheating so I used the fox blade to do it. I tried changing to Murasama in the middle but with the constant restarts, it was too much of a hassle to bother.
You can take a few hits.

Lol,

This may not be the case. I recall landing a perfect parry on a Mastiff on hard mode (with a maxed HF Long Sword no less), didn't kill him.

Hah, I dunno if I'll be completing them all this time around as the sub-weapon ones and the like are tedious more than anything, but there are definitely some gems in the bunch. I've enjoyed all the gekko ones so far.
Fox Blade doesn't do any more damage against bosses. Murasama is pretty much the go to boss damage weapon.
For that part you just have to do the QTE's. Then run back for your weapon.
Unless you're talking the DLC.

So whats the trick to getting no damage on
Armstrong? I can't get to his 3rd form without taking damage to transition from the fist only fight.
You have to wait it out for three minutes. It's the only way.
Aah I see
Thanks. What about the special weapons like Machete and Armor Breaker? Are they worth it at all?I guess some missions aren't too awful but I wouldn't really say it's something I'm eager to play.
A wave-based/horde mode would've been more interesting. Of course, I mean one that's fair and not bullshit like some of the VR Missions.

You can fight him and bring his health down to a certain point to trigger the no damage attack I believe
but it's not really worth the effort
Even if that's possible, and I don't think it is, waiting it out is a heck of a lot easier.
You're already done?
If that's the case I probably won't even download them. If I do, I'll feel compelled to get a gold on all of them and suffer. Oddly enough, my favorite VR missions are the ones that DON'T involve fighting.
Seriously on 0.1% hp you cannot afford to make mistakes. Way easier to lame him out.
I got gold on 1-8 and then took a break to read this thread and felt like trying 30 after reading what the final wave was.
I still have 21 missions to do, I think these have been excellent so far.
1-8 contained no fighting, so for people who like to mix it up I think you'll be happy!

Note that the easiest way to wait it out is to wait in the opposite corner and jump over him when he charges you (two kinds of charges, but nothing really changes). Just be careful to not let him out of sight. It really can't go wrong that easy.
Also, the blade mode sequence during the final boss is acting all weird on me on very hard and upwards occasionally. I'm 100% sure I'm hitting 3 squares, but the debris hits me anyway.
I have the gold on the final mission as well. It seemed daunting at first but the fenrir have very little health and can be picked off easily at the beginning.

ah you're right. I checked the guide and lowering his health passed a certain point only seems to make his next attack instantly knock initiate the QTE transition to the next phase. (rather than triggering the no damage hit)
Gotta avoid for no damage, but on higher difficulties you have to attack and then get hit for the time bonus for the fight

so is there any more humor or personality in the DLC missions than in the base set?
My biggest problem with them isn't that they're hard so much that they're so damn vanilla and uninteresting ways to play the game

Sometimes he trolls you on Revengeance, and emerges too close for you to hit him after the final debris is cut.

the final mission isn't that bad
you seem to take normal mode damage, which is a huge break from stuff like 18.
It's amazing how intimidated people are by stuff like this!

Yeah, happens on very hard too. I guess maybe because you cut the debris too slow?

Can't beat the grad at the beginning of R-04. It's impossible to no damage this...

Yes, V.2 and 30 new missions. For free.
There some dwarf gekko missions that are all right...but that aside it's more of the same. There's a beat em' up mission where you only fight with your fists but it's boring as hell.
That's right, that's why you shouldn't attempt it.
You can get the S-rank without the no damage bonus, it's kind of lenient. Just remember to get two zandatsus, and use the machine gun on the grad to get the hit bonus.I ended up overpaying on eBay.
