R-00 Guard Duty | The Main Campaign - walkthrough MGR: Revengeance Guide

In spite of the fact that you have probably complete the d the tutorial mode (which looks like a VR mission), the first mission is the actual introduction, a kind of a tutorial that will let you try out Raiden's basic moves in practice. This mission is devoid of some of the options available to you, like upgrading and unlocking new tricks - they become available only after you complete this stage.

Use the tips displayed on the screen.

The VIP that you were supposed to guard is abducted and your task is to rescue the hostage. First of all, deal with the three opponents - use the help displayed on the screen, to your aid, if you do not remember a thing presented in the tutorial. After you have dealt with the enemies, run towards the marker on the radar - you will reach a wall with a metal gate.

Your task is to get across the gate (shred it with your sword) and to reach the first boss battle. You can also train a bit on the enemies who will be coming from behind the wall - this is a incessant process and you will never kill them all, but you will gain nothing from killing them, they are there so that you can train slashing and parrying. Once you are bored with them, make it across the gate and activate the cutscene.

Boss - Metal Gear Ray

To dodge plasma beams run in angles.

The first boss in the game is not too much of a challenge but, you need to watch out anyways, for some of its attacks (especially if you are playing at the Hard difficult level, or a higher level).

Metal Gear Ray has several attacks which it will use alternatively, depending on your position, during the fight:

• Attack with the plasma cannon in its snout - for several seconds, it will charge the cannon to fire a beam of energy towards you. To avoid this attack, run to the side and never charge ahead, towards the enemy. Additionally, the boss will reinforce its attack with a discharge from its machine guns, mounted onto its back - you can reflect these using the Ninja Run.
• Shells that are driven into the ground and explode after several seconds - if you are moving for the whole time, you may not even notice them.
• Stomp - on the ground, there will appear a red marker, which is where Ray will stomp after a moment, which will inflict heavy damage to you. Once you notice the red marker, run away from there (e.g. towards the boss' another leg) and you should be fine.

A nice view of slashing into tiny bits

Fighting Metal Gear Ray boils down to attacking its legs - once you have dealt sufficient damage, there will appear an instruction, on the screen, to use the Blade Mode, to slash both the armor and the cannon of the enemy into bits. If you repeat that action for 4 times, the boss will attack you with its blade and another QTE sequence will start. Follow the instructions and press the buttons that appear on the screen, and soon the boss will fall to the ground.

A descent to the sewers, where there is a Data Storage.

After the fight, continue after the abductor, until you reach a descent enclosed with fence. Destroy the fence and slide down. Collect the Data Storage behind your back. Continue after the kidnapper to see a familiar "face" after you climb the stairs...

Boss - Metal Gear Ray, round 2

Use Blade Mode, to cut up the rockets.

Yes, it seems that Metal Gear Ray is still kicking and it is time for the second round. This phase is much more difficult, because your options to maneuver are limited and it is more difficult to dodge its attacks. Ray may use one of the following attacks:

• Plasma cannon, the same that the boss has been using earlier. The difference is that, instead of attacking in a straight line, it will be launching its attacks from right to left (and back). You can easily avoid the beam by jumping over it, when the moment is right.
• Vertical or horizontal paw attack. The boss will stop for a moment, as it is preparing an attack. Use this moment to get away from it and avoid the attack.
• Attack with rockets in its paw - Ray will place its paw on the left side of the arena to launch tens of rockets towards you. Use Blade Mode and cut the rockets into pieces.
• Attack with projectiles driven into the ground, which explode after a while. The boss will notify you of this attack by increasing the distance. To avoid taking damage, run around the arena and stop in a spot, where there are no projectiles.

Attack Ray's snout to initiate a QTE sequence after a while and cut up the enemy's armor. Repeat the entire sequence several times, and the boss will jump back, when it is your task to chase it with Ninja Run - simply, run in its direction while holding the button and follow the instructions displayed on the screen. After a while, the action will change to the side of a building, over which you need to run down, while avoiding rockets (run to the sides) and the plasma cannon (jump over it) - this will start the final QTE sequence and the boss will fall to the ground, this time for good.

After the fight, you will make it onto a train - jump off the car that you are on and run ahead, until you reach another car, from which you will be able to see the abductor. Do not jump off this car and spin the camera, so that you can see what is behind you (just like in the above screenshot) - you will find another Data Storage. Collect it and go towards the abductors. You are up for a fight here, which you cannot win. After you are defeated, the mission will end.
