Final Boss

[modelmaker]

why does the thing thats supposed to be the same as the protagonist have 10x more stamina and can one shot you if you are below 100 hp. it wouldnt be soo bad if i didnt run out of stamina after slide hopping once (the only way to escape this guy).


edit 1. there wasnt even enough ammo in the final boss chamber to kill the dude.

He doesn't have any stamina, he just attacks with heavily telegraphed moves. He'll try to hyperspeed towards you or stealth towards you. If he reaches you, he'll perform a quick uppercut. Sometimes he will stop and glow orange, this is the wind up for his charge attack where he instantly charges towards you and deals heavy damage. Sometimes He will stop and glow purple. Not even sure what this attack is because it's so rare but he seems to throw something at you.

You can slide jump twice on a single stamina bar, but it's unnecessary for the fight. His simple uppercut can be avoided by sliding away, his charge can be avoided by sliding sideways, and his throw can be avoided by moving into cover. If you ever run out of stamina, you're moving wrong. You can kill each phase with 2-4 assault rifle mags or 3-5 shotgun shells. There are no shotgun shells in the arena but there are like 20+ rifle mags in there. Running out of ammo is an accuracy issue. He should go down very quickly

You can skip it in the esc menu iirc

You just need to slide, no need for slide hopping,

if you're at the last quarter of his HP, just melee him at this point


Don't discourage yourself, you'll make it

He throws knifes at you then walk uncloacked toward you parrying everything you throw at him. Until he's close enough to melee you, then it goes back to normal. You can make this attack faster by dodging the knifes, running to him and dodge the attack

yeah i got it. figured out how to kill him, which might i add is an incredibly repetitive process that doesnt alter from quarter to quarter of his healthbar. im just not impressed with this boss. waited years for this game to come out and get hit with a boss that has a gameplay loop that rivals atari games.

It's really easy once you realize that the way that you have to fight him is basically a cheese. Just keep sliding backwards and blasting him. try not to let him out of your sight when he cloaks and shoot him even when he is cloaked. I've beaten him on very hard in 1 attempt, but he kicked my ass on hard many times prior.

[TheSharpFixer]

I cheesed him by lighting him on fire with a incendiary shotgun (not for DOT damage but to keep him more visible) and just jump/slide kicked during openings and slide dodged his attack till the end of each phase. Unsure if he gets faster or gets new moves on difficulties above hard but I was nowhere near running out of shotgun shells to mark him with (if you do run out, it just means you have less time to get your hits in since he REALLY loves running away after each full visible attack opening he does where he wont attack again for a good 2-3 seconds until he turns around to face you again).

He keeps teleporting infront of me thus, cancelling my slide and killing me instantly with his main atack.

If he's glowing, try to hide behind something, if he's killing you without the glow, then your slide timing is wrong. Are you using back slides or side slides? Back ones helped me

yeah. for me it worked best by keeping him away and out of line of sight when hes not cloaked. then hitting him when hes invisible.

Always be facing him and anytime he approaches you just slide backwards while still shooting at him. Doing this trivializes the entire fight

[ChurchGorilla]

There is lore justification, one of the notes mentions the next cycle should have better armor. Shame he's just as boring and easy as all the other bossfights

He doesn't teleport.

This is a tip for everyone : When in the finale, get a shotgun with incendiary. If it's too late then damn shame but when you ignite him while he's cloaked the fire particles will still be visible so you can track him and unload.

This is how I did it too. Not sliding into a wall was the real final boss.
