Phoenix

[Keromor]

I have searched the forum, read the posts, even watched someone do it on youtube, I was doing it the same, kill the gens and pound it, no matter what at 20-25% unable to damage it anymore, done it 19 times now and same every time ... any suggestions.


Thanks

IF this is the counter-attack near the start of the game... it only goes to that percentage.
I believe you are meant to lose.

No you can kill it, you just need to do enough damage quickly enough. I did it with 2 level 2 gats and cannons and a single plasma gun at level 3. Kill the shields then focus on the ship.

Thanks for the replies but I have upgraded all my weapons and hit it fast, then it will take no more damage.

Can we confirm that this is meant to fail?

Nope, its not as their is an achievement for it and my friend who plays has saved it, also read up others have as well.

It is tied to dialog choices, apparently. Not killing the Phoenix doesn't mean you're doing something wrong. It is just another branch in the story.

I have not heard that ...

Interesting.

I hope they didn't just make it impossible to kill, that would be immersion breaking and bad.

I could see them making it much harder, to simulate a loss of surprise factor, that could be good.

its dependent on whether you agree whether to attack early or hold back and wait during the War Council dialogue in the HQ.
Attacking Early = You can kill the Phoenix.
Holding back = Phoenix is invincible and you get swarmed by more enemies.

I disagree, I have rushed and attack as soon as possible on multiple tries and just can never kill it.

i was able to kill the phoenix on my 2nd and not on the first... why ?
I made just that choice to attack quickly and not hold back.
First time i get stucked at 25%... didn't remember if i made some secondary mission or else before to join the battle.

I think you may have misunderstood what Admiral York Crescentia wrote. Its not about rushing in and attacking as fast as possible during the mission. It is ultimately determined by a dialog choice made earlier at the HQ.

Ah. So you did pick the dialog option to join in with the assault with vice admiral Mason, instead of siding with admiral Flynn. And yet defeating the Phoenix was not possible?

I cant blow it up either.. the ship is invulnerable you have to blow up the generator while you are being pounded. my problem is piloting my ship still cant do it correctly and they expect you to blow it up where you cant get a good shot because of all the shxt floating around.
