Suggestions on robot fight

[Silentsword]

Any hints on the fight between Axel and the giant robot in Nuuk. I can get to the first point of shooting off the two arms but then with shadows and the robot I am getting killed a lot

To defeat it, you must aim to its legs, when you destroy its two legs, it will fall stunned for a short time, there you can do most of the damage. Repeating that proccess 3 or 4 times is what the combat lasts.

However, for survival, I suggest try to place in spots where you can dodge backwards, (not against walls) When the robot rise its arm, is the time to dodge back (not towards as the hitting box looks to be quite big).

For its other attacks, I don´t archieve to avoid the smoke bomb completely, but moving during the combat it worked for me to reduce damage. (Try run in clockwise direction, when there were enough distance, shoot, if it rises the arm, dodge and go running again to make distance, through the process you will avoid smoke bombs too in a natural way).

Its other attack, is a kind of green smoke, but it looks like that have short range, as I make distance, that attack was not any problem for me.


I don´t know if attacking it by the back causes any difference (I saw its tank on its back, but I didn´t perceived any damage difference O_ò).

If you have arrows, save them for the stun mode, as legs will re-fix, so I feel they are better used in the stun mode when you hit the actual robot´s life.

yeah.... i admit this fight was the one time in the game I was tempted to cheat my way through.

Yeah this boss was god awful. I can't tell what its actual reach is and i swear I was outside of it several times when it hit and that weird shadow bomb it uses just seems to have a completely random spawn spot. Not helped by the fact that my reaction speed is pretty poor. So after dying more times than I care to count, my choice is to either cheat or just stop playing.

I worked out a system. Patience and only shoot when I am very safe. Then run and roll in a square. When the ghosts came after the second one I hit tactical view and did a quick shot at all the ghosts. This would clear them all in a sec and I was then back to run, dodge and shoot when safe. Was still hard but that tac button and then shoot all ghosts as soon as the appeared worked fine as a strategy for me.

Actually, you can dodge toward the robot so if you're cornered you can roll past him.
