Excelsus is easier than it may seem, at first.

At first look, the fight may seem a bit difficult, because there are several ways in which the boss attacks. Knowing its attacks, knowing which can be blocked, and which you need to escape from, is going to make things much easier for you. The attacks that Excelsus uses are:

  • Vertical attack with both blades - you need to dodge this one, because it cannot be blocked. Once the boss lifts both of the blades, wait for it to start the descent and, a moment before the blades strike, dodge (Defensive Offense) to avoid taking damage. You now have several seconds to attack, before the boss attempts another attack.
  • Horizontal attack with both blades - Excelsus performs this one several seconds before it attacks with the previous one. This time dodging does not work - if you want to avoid taking damage, simply parry this attack.
  • Vertical attack with ne blade - a variant of the previous attack where the difference is that instead of both, the boss strikes with one blade. Although this attack is faster than the double-bladed version, it is easier to dodge. Remember to attack the blades as long as they are on the ground.
  • Limb attack - every now and then, the Excelsus stops using its blades and attacks with one of the hoof-like limbs. This attack resembles the one used by Metal Gear Ray - so, the method to avoid it is similar. You simply need to jump away a moment before the limb hits the ground. After each attack, you get a short moment to deal damage by attacking the limb.
  • Attack with plasma beams - similar to the attack used by Metal Gear Ray. The difference is that Excelsus has two cannons and, it attacks in a straight line, in your direction (you can avoid this one by standing between the individual beams) and horizontally (to avoid this one, simply, increase the distance).
Use the Blade Mode on the Gekko, to regenerate health. - Metal Gear Excelsus - Bosses - Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance - Game Guide and Walkthrough
Use the Blade Mode on the Gekko, to regenerate health.

Apart from that, Excelsus will summon several Gekko robots to its aid (when it starts attacking with plasma beams). You can use them to regenerate your health - remember that you can also use the Blade Mode on the Gekkos killed by Excelsus).

Continue fighting, using the Blade Mode until there will appear a piece of information on the screen, and soon after a QTE sequence will start. After this, Metal Gear will end up as a piece of junk.
