Armstrong, phase two - Uber Armstrong | Bosses MGR: Revengeance Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
The time for the last, and at the same time, the most frustrating and the most difficult battle in the game, has come. The blows of the upgraded Armstrong deal immense damage (some of them devour , as much as, 100% of your health bar) which is why you need to learn how to parry and dodge them. These are the attacks that Armstrong may use:
- Combo of attacks - the least threatening and the easiest attack to repel, which you can easily parry.
- Takedown - Armstrong will glow gold then only to launch at you. If you manage to parry this attack, you are going to enter the QTE mode , after which you will deal quite a damage to Armstrong, but he will disarm you and you will have to pick up your weapon. At any cost, do not let the boss disarm you, if he is below 90% on his health.
- Regeneration - once you notice Armstrong glow green, get behind him quickly and activate the Blade Mode, to land a blow to his back. If you do not do that, the boss will quickly regenerate the lost health. This attack is exceptionally dangerous, because the boss uses it after he disarms you - before you manage to retrieve the sword, the boss will regenerate a lot of his health. Armstrong uses this attack when his health drops below 90%.
- Fire attack - will glow gold to put the fist to the ground, after a moment, which cause a fire explosion. Once you see him getting ready for this attack, stay in constant movement, or (if you manage to) dodge the attack at the last possible moment (with the Defensive Offense).
- Rock throw - every now and then, the boss will jump onto the elevation and throw a large chunk of rock at you. At this moment, you will have to cut through the rock in a certain way (in the same way as during the battle with Sundowner). Armstrong throws three chunks and, if you cut through the rocks, and perform the QTE sequence correctly, you will deal a lot of damage. If you find it difficult to cut through the rocks, you can dodge them with the Ninja Run and run ahead, towards the boss. The rock will then fly behind your back.
Once Armstrong's health drops to 0.1%, a QTE sequence will start, after which you will have to perform several slashes in the Blade Mode - if you manage to do that, this will end the battle and the game will be over.
