Can't beat fInal boss as Lady... How do I finish him off?

[Oppe]

I'm doing the Lady/Trish campaign and stuck on mission 20. When you get Sanctus down to his last 1/4 of life or so, after you break his first shield he will start doing this charge attack over and over. As Nero I know you're supposed to Buster him just before he hits you and the shield will break... But what does Lady do in this situation?

I feel like I've tried everything. I tried charging a shot and hitting him as he charges, I tried dodging and taking pot shots between charges, I tried the Wire, I tried the DT grenades... Nothing works! Has anyone ACTUALLY BEATEN THIS and can tell me how they broke the last shield? Or have a video?

you have to dodge his first round of attacks then when he goes to try again hes vanurable even when he's attacking
with vergil i can counter his second chage with a rapid slash but havent got there with lady yet

So you mean how he will do 4 charges, then pause and say something and charge one more time, he's vulnerable on that last charge? I feel like I've tried that but maybe I just messed up the timing... I'll give that a shot.

I got him. If anyone has this problem and sees this, the trick is you have to use MELEE on the last charge. Maybe it works on the other charges too, but I was able to get the little cutscene counter by doing the spin melee attack on his last charge, the shield broke and I could damage him.

Some video demonstration would be nice to have. I've tried beating the boss normally on Son Of Sparda but to no avail, couldn't really find a way to damage him at that last phase...had to restart around 15 times before I finally gave up and used holy water. Really makes one appreciate how easy this boss is when playing as Nero.

Yup, took me 10 mins to firgures it out. You had to meele on the final charge, which should only take one hit. Then BAM hit him with your rocket or nades

Dodge all attacks, smack him after he's finished, make sure you're close to a wall at the last attack so you can get to him.

When Sanctus does his charge when he is low health, I think you're supposed to melee him at the exact time since Lady or Vergil does not have a devil bringer. I did it with Vergil and it works.
