help very confused

[blueandwhite87]

ok so the game tells me I can cut things out of people and asorb them by hand, but the first few enimies I fight they just try which looks like experience, its called BP i belive, so im confused when I kill a guy I have 2 options? take the xp or rip his insides out?

mabey i cant do it yet in game, but the upgrade guy explained this to me in a codec.

so how does this work?

You can't do it in the 1st stage. It's kinda like a tutorial. When you get the custom cyborg suit in the following stage, that's when you can gut your enemies for their spines represented by a small red square where the weak point is. Do note that stronger enemies will need to be damaged substantially before their weak spot is revealed.

slicing them up gives you BP, collecting items gives you BP, beating the level with higher grades gives you BP.
BP is the currency to upgrade, absorbing comes from really just attack an enemy and charges up the meter to activate blade mode, the spine really is just quick refill.
So then the whole fight becomes a management of what is higher priority for you, take a quick kill of a harder enemy just so you can handle the other guys. The game is designed to be replayed well over 4 or 8 times to unlock cooler items to have more fights.

ok im in the the part where i got the cyborg suit and when is chop them up in blade mode there body seperates and goes flying but raiden never grabs there spine, they just die and i get BP

You must cut the red square area, and then press the button that shows up (B for xbox controller) to do zandatsu.

When you enter blade mode you will see a red square on them, you must line your cut so it goes throught the square, if you do it right you will expose the repair unit which you can then grab with B, you can move the camera to get a better angle.

You must do it before you run out of FC, also if you cut randomly you can damage the repair unit, the low ranking cyborgs can be cut imediatelly however your FC bar must be blue otherwise you won't see the red square, for other enemies you must damage them first, once their body turns into a blue hue they can be cut, or if you get the press Y/B prompt it usually allows you to cut them.

ok I did see the red square thanks for the tip, I can do this on the first guys on the the lvl where you get the cyborg suit right?

R-00 you can't Zandatsu but the rest of the game, yeah you can.
