Alysnes Advanced Challenge 3

[*Sarcastawizard*]

I've been trying to complete this challenge for about an hour now and I at this point I have no idea how one is meant to beat this.

In the challenge the player must defeat a tricera in turret mode with purged armor in 1 minute 30 seconds. First problem here is the delayed input that will cause you to dash toward the bot at the start if you don't spam the left or right keys. Second problem is the pathetic damage your gun does. Third problem is that you only have 2 awkwardly spaced blocks to take cover behind. Third problem is that there is seemingly no way to get behind the turret and punish it because it hard tracks you at all times. It is possible to disable its tracking by getting onto one of the high pillars, but then you won't do enough damage to kill the bot in time.

The farthest I have gotten is getting its shield down and health down below half, but after a few seconds it moves before planting its butt back down with 100% shields, at which point beating the challenge becomes impossible. Intuitively I assumed that when it moves out of turret mode or has its shields down I should go for the melee, but in both instances it either melts with no stagger or immediately re-shields and perfect parries me into oblivion.

A challenge ideally should teach the player something new and improve their tech, but I have no idea what I'm even supposed to be learning here.

I found 1 video that shows the challenge being beat from 6 months ago but the pilot is in normal armor which would make the challenge much easier. They just made the challenge more difficult without adjusting the stage at all.

So, has anyone beat this, and if so what tips or advice do you have to get through this? I want to believe that there is tech I'm not using but as of now this feels impossible.

I literally just jumped on top of him since he can't aim straight up.

Look left, boost behind the pillar.
Boost over it and again to get above him.
Shoot/Charge shoot while standing on his head.
He will move eventually, make sure you stay close and directly above him.
You can melee, but it can shove you out of position and into instant death.

This is the only thing I've played where the basic challenges are meant to be gamed to the point of glitching out the ai just to unlock basic game modes and functions.

I feel like their lead dev is some Chinese pro speed runner and his warped life perspective makes him think everybody plays games this way and its normal.

i found the duel vs yourself with no shield being way harder.

just stay on top of the tricera and you win.

meanwhile, vs yours elf you have no defending tool as the railgun doesn't stagger him during his dash. You are forced to do downard strike constantly

umm......just jump immediately and hovering above his head? once he purges his armor beat the ♥♥♥♥ of him using spear.

the whole challenge took me around 42 mins. the hardest for me are lvl 5 which is a skill check using parry.
