Cheese strat/exploit for Allmind boss fight(ng++)

[Lahoo Eckbert]

What is it? Arguably the most unfair and hardest boss and before you say it, no dual zimmy needle gun doesn't cut it. Too circumstantial.

Yeah well I got him. Was still pretty close though. He has some Bs moves in phase 2.
Other than dual stun needle / zimmy, is there a setup that can take the whole encounter ? My earlier setup was doing fine(redshift nebula and redshift blade and pulse missle launchers on the shoulder) but I ran out of ammo in the last phase.

If you are good at dodging you can do it with almost any weapon (althought just using fists is better than some of them).
Going into actual melee is pretty risky thought. Pulse missile launchers are too slow if you do it from afar and horizontal ones are better, especially since the bug with vertical ones has been fixed, beside Stun Needle is already does work of Pulse Missiles, but does it better.

honestly unless you're using like...idk, pistols or low-capacity SMG's, there should be no reason to run out of ammo

I've beaten the fight multiple times with 2x large laser rifles and an Earshot + pulse buckler, never came close to running out of ammo. You just have to stop taking low-percentage shots and actually wait for your FCS to generate a proper firing solution

Saw that you got your clear after I wrote this, so I'm posting it anyway, but grats on the boss OP.


This was my S rank strat:
Keep the dual needles and save one for firing only during stagger. Switch a zimmerman for a gatling. The gatling allows you to maintain some damage and ACS buildup while waiting for your zimmer and needle to reload. When you get the stagger, go all in. Kick, unload needles, unload gatling while firing zimmer on cooldown til the stagger ends. Don't be afraid to retry multiple times, if it's not going well at the start, just start over. You want a quick kill on phase 1.

Probably the zero skill low effort way to kill the boss is tank legs dual gatlings dual stun needles. Ignore everything but the boss and just shoot it until it dies.

Use something like this:

Change the reactor for the coral one if you have it. Potentially replace the bazooka with the hand held missile pod.

For phase 1, lock on to the boss and ignore all the adds. When you beat him, they will disappear.

For phase 2, lock on to the boss and ignore all the adds. When you get him to 50% health, he will kill the adds himself.

Initiate with the lance or needles, which should open them up for a follow up with the other. So like land a stun with the needles, dash at him, fire the bazooka, then hit him with a fully charged lance hit, then dash cancel... as the dash cancel ends, you should have your worm needles on cool down and ready to go again.

Basically, it is the same tactic as against Ibis:

This combo will basically nuke every boss fight other than the Carla one or the Michigan one. It suffers in the Carla fight because of all their missile spam, and it suffers in the Michigan fight because of all the MTs you have to go through first. It will wreck everything else in the game.

"no dual zimmy needle gun doesn't cut it. Too circumstantial."

No man. It's not. If those don't work for you, you just need to get better at how you fight with them. Get close enough and enemies can't dodge them. Easy staggers, big damage. I hate the lazy git gud saying, but it might be applicable here.

[REBirthTheEdge]

It's not unfair at all.

Literally just focus on hitting Iguazu.

I feel this boss is overhyped, kinda like Iguazu himself, only his 2nd later phase is dangerous and he can still be dodged easily by either backwards boosting or boosting into him when he thrusts. Suprisingly very loose requirement for S rank too.

Beat him with a Fimeza LW with Ranjetsu RF rifles and 10x missiles.

I don't have a coral reactor. How do I get coral parts? I finished the game and all arena battles and yet I'm apparently missing some items? Don't tell me I gotta S rank every mission or something coz I surely ain't doing it.

up to you to decide if it's cheese, fairly braindead S-Rank kill. This was first try.
Dual Harris + Dual active missile launchers.
I clear every boss really easily with this strat, it's not the fastest, but it's super easy.
Just make sure you have enough recoil absorption and firearms spec.

The first coral reactor is in a chest in xylem, but you probably want the second one. It is acquired by doing loghunt, you need hunter rank 8.

I used exactly that: dual zimmer + dual needle. Also hard lock and kicks. It even worked to s rank that fight.

Here is some random easy mode strat:

[Belmont]

I used an SMG and Ransestu-RF and kept chipping until I can burst her down.

[Calvin W]

I don't believe you say that Stun Needle Launcher doesn't cut any single boss in game.
If it cannot be done by 1, make it 2 Stun Needle Launchers.

[Outsider]

Circumstantial? What?
You just delete Iguazu, and then delete him 2 more times and you win.
Completely ignore adds, just unload into him and you'll get the easiest end boss S in AC history.

One of the generators is hidden in the survey the city mission. You get the other one for reaching rank 8, I believe.
