Femto Boss Fight

[The Khan Of Dreams]

I'm trying to figure out how to beat Femto at the end of the Golden Age arc and I just can't seem to figure out how to get through his wall of attacks. Is there some sort of pattern i'm missing?

I didn't find him hard, it was just a slow fight. I killed those screaming heads that slow you and just ran to the right of Femto, which avoided all his nonsense. Then hit him a few times before he'd knock me back. Rince and repeat.

He's easy peasy if you try with Guts outfit that's equipped with a range sub-weapon. Pew pew, screaming head die, pew pew Femto health drop like a rock, then get close to him and initiate the cutscene. lol.

Not sure if you're talking about something else other than the story mode, you don't have a ranged weapon equipped in the story at that point.

To OP, i had some issue where for like a solid 10mins i got stuck in a chain of knock downs by the orb attack, retried it and beat it in about 3 mins. Don't know if just a little buggy or unfortunate RNG.

Seriously, this is just terrible game design and the cheapest way to fake in difficulty.

It's like when game rentals in the 90s caused game devs to make impossibly hard sections of games just so you'd keep renting it cause you'd never beat it. It's not fun or challenging, it's just cheap and pure douchebaggery.

I've had 0 issues with the game whatsoever, even on Hard. Until this garbage level. The cutscenes don't even make it rewarding in any way, they're so heavily censored that theres pretty much no point in even having cutscenes for the Eclipse. Just put it on text that everyone got killed and Casca was raped.

At least then you'd know wtf is going on xD

I was getting pretty annoyed since I replayed it a few times and the location of the target heads was seemingly random. Then I tried to approach it as "you're supposed to be pissed at Griffith" and it wasn't so bad.

Under 5 minutes to reach Pippin to get the behelit( I had 4:40 on the timestamp when guts says "griffith" when i got it, for your reference). And i don't know Why you find this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hard. Just charge your deathblow meter, activate furry, go at the edge of his attack and pray to touch him with the aoe of the deathblow.

Not sure why people are having so much issues here, the boss fight is just fine as it is. If there's anything to complain about it's how dumbass easy this fight was. He only spams that ♥♥♥♥ when you approach him, and the slow motion statues are only activated for a short time before going offline automaticly. This fight is all about timing and positioning, no glitching or rng involved.

I quite easily went about killing his minions while i waited for the slow field to reach its end of duration and then i swiftly approached his left side (our right side), which is opposite of what some people here did, proving that either way works just fine. If he pushes back at that point, ur simply just to slow or your timing was off.

This is one of the most poorly designed boss fights in any game I've ever played. What a mess...

I'd like to emphasize this. This is the strategy that worked for me.

Activate Frenzy and use Deathblow in front of Femto, letting the invulnerability of Frenzy protect you.

I'm playing through the game on Berserk mode, and all I had to do was let my health go into the red, then wait for Frenzy to charge. I kept a few Salves on hand for emergencies.

The Behelits, Femto's attacks, and the sheer amount of enemies exist to distract and confuse you. They're an intimidation tactic.

But Femto can't actually hurt you. The Behelits don't matter. And more enemies just means it's easier to build meter. Just focus on getting out those Deathblows. ^_^

Play like Guts: I'm just going to swing my sword until everything dies!
