[SOLVED] Stuck at Phase 2 Gladiator

[Sub-Zero]

I'm on Sentinel Prime and I can't defeat phase 2 gladiator. I can't even strike back when he has green eyes. Is there any ways how to not die, because I can't defeat him at Nightmare diff.

On phase two you can shoot him at every given moment, you only have to watch out when he spins his flails, he's invulnerable then. Also while he's doing his like projectile wave attack you can dish in a lot of damage.

I thought he was one of the easier bosses on nightmare difficulty, despite being a unique boss. Get used to dodging and jumping, that's the only way to beat him. I don't even know if I can offer any help, because everything he does is very obviously telegraphed.

Didn't that mission give you like a ridiculous amount of extra lives prior to starting that fight? Why are you still fighting him?

You are gonna hate life come the next few bosses.

No, I didn't got 2nd live and I got already dead on 1st phase, because of how hard to spot green eye to counter. And no, I'm not blind.

Then it's going to come down to reaction timing my friend, no one here can help you with it. you'll get it eventually

But he somehow uses flails on long ranges and gets me and I can't even dodge it quickly.

[Aleksandar]

But you said you're on the 2nd phase gladiator man? "I'm on Sentinel Prime and I can't defeat phase 2 gladiator". Nevermind, anyway just treat him like an easier version of the marauder, use your grenades, attack only when his eyes flash green, use high power weapons like the SSG and ballista.

That's because you are dodging too early, you need to dodge as soon as the green disappears to avoid the flails, not just as they appear. The attack is going to land where you are and if you dodge to soon you will be nailed by the flails.

Well, even my timin' is fine, he somehow gets me and I can't even survive longer.

That does nothin' and didn't helped me. Also I literally said I'm stuck at phase 2, but NOT on phase 1.

If you are getting killed by the gladiators flails your timing is not fine. Try dodging a half second later than you think.

ABOUT TIME I DEFEATED THAT BASTARD AT LAST. I died about 7 times attemptin' to defeat that horned demon.

I had to use Ballista and Chaingun to stun him at long distance, which that tactic worked. Oh god, I wonder if you could farm lives on the game.
