Now who's the rookie challenge questions

[Rocket]

This is driving me crazy, I have 2 questions.

1. Is it possible to finish the fight before he does the combo or does he always do the combo? I don't want it to autosave because I beat him before he does the combo.

2. If I'm near the edge of the walkway, EVADE shows up because he's trying to knock me off the edge. Does evading count as completing the challenge if this happens?

LMAO this is SO annoying. after the 4th hit on this last try I was pushed out of range for the parry and he whiffed. Reload due to a whiff. Everything about this fight from what I can tell is inconsistent and I don't know the answer to question #1 so I need to keep reloading.

You don't have to do it on the part with luis.

You can also do it in the long fight before he mutates.

Evade does not count for the combo attack as it's a different attack.

Finally the stars aligned.

Good to know thanks!

He adds knife attacks to the combo as he loses health. He will only consistently do the full 5 string knife combo (the kicks you can evade don't count, and he will use the kicks as a finisher if he does do it) when he is near death.

To be clear, the 5 hits happen during a specific combo that has 5 attacks. So if he does it and one of them misses, you have to wait for a new combo. Similarly if he does a series of 2 or 3 hit combos and you block them all, it doesn't count because of the pause between them. The 5 hit combo in question is the one that ends in the last parry doing a QTE where you kick him at the end.

Once you know what it is, it's pretty easy to do. He just has to do it and can't get caught up on geometry so that it misses.

do it during a play-through where you a'rent racing the clock. i did it on assisted and after the 3rd melee prompt you get he did the combo 3 times in about 5 minutes, got it the last time. you don't have to reload he will do it more than once during the fight.

"don't attack just parry him to get the prompts, after you parry the combo, shank him like he tried to kick your box"
