Nightmare Boss Rush tips?

[Boop]

I just want to unlock Inferno mode without being suicidal

Avoid attacks

Wait, you need that to unlock Inferno Mode? From my experience I just cleared the game on normal mode and I got access to Inferno mode. You can even check my achievements to see that I completed Inferno mode before clearing Nightmare Boss Rush. Was the unlock requirements changed or is there some black magic going on with my game?

You need to beat nightmare boss rush to get inferno mode, you must have glitched it somehow. I already beat nightmare story mode.

That's strange. Anyway, I don't think there is an easy way to go about clearing Nightmare Boss Rush without dying a lot. If you're willing to deal with that, general advice I'd give is to practice each boss on Hard or Nightmare at least a few times (the former maybe to just adjust to each boss pattern again). Try and go in with the mentality of adjusting to the boss patterns rather than trying to win the first time around.

Here's a guide on the bosses that someone else made that'd be pretty helpful.

That said, whatever boss you have great difficulty on Nightmare and what specific problems, feel free to post here. I'm sure that others including myself would be glad to lend a helping hand.

When you're finally prepared to go into Boss Rush Nightmare, don't be afraid to take some breaks every now and then, even if it's in the middle of a boss, it can be a damn ordeal.

In any case, best of luck!

EDIT: One thing I didn't see in the boss guide that'd make Gildias much more bearable; Sit right under his head and just jump and pummel him with air attacks, you might have to reposition yourself and hug him so his bite attack doesn't hit you, but it does wonders in making the fight more quicker.

Attacking his head as he's about to stomp out icicles also interrupts that attack and causes him to go for a bite instead.

My achievement history says I beat Inferno before Nightmare Boss Rush. Either Xseed patched the game recently or something's wrong on your end.

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe they changed the requirements for accessing Inferno to beating the game, either that or they made it available from the start. Beating Nightmare Boss Rush was the old way to access Inferno, before XSeed released the game on Steam.

I don't know what's up with my game then, but I only got inferno after I beat the nightmare boss rush (just did it yesterday!)

I also unlocked inferno after finishing the story in Hard.

I unlocked inferno after beating the game on normal *shrug*

[TheHaplessWanderer]

I unlocked Inferno after beating the game on Nightmare.

Yeah, pretty sure it's just unlocked by beating the game on any difficulty once
