Boss Battle: Kid X-Mas | Episode 2 Remember Me Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Kid X-Mas is not too demanding an opponent, although there are three rounds to this encounter. This means that it will take you some time to achieve victory. I recommend that right after the first part of the battle starts, you initiate Sensen Fury, and start pounding at the boss to prevent him from defending himself. It is worth remembering because, Fury Sensen is the main means of defeating this opponent.

After the fury depletes, focus on avoiding the boss's charges and notice, that he stops briefly each time his charge fails. This exposes him to your standard attacks. Depend mainly on the Power Pressens, but do not forget about the combos that regenerate Nilin (you can always replenish your health bar, even if Kid Blocks a given blow) as well as Cooldown moves (shorter Cooldown time for Fury mode).

The first part of the duel draws to an end when the shortest part of the boss's healthbar goes down. In the second part of the battle, Kid starts using a gizmo called Spammer, which works similarly to firearms. It discharges a series of projectiles which inflict damage to characters equipped with the Sensen chip (this also holds true for your character). Keep avoiding these projectiles with side-jumps.

Just like in the previous part of the battle, keep making use of the Sensen fury as frequently as possible, focus on avoiding the boss's charges and try to inflict damage every time the charge fails. Keep repeating these actions for as long as you make the second part of Kid's health bar drop to zero.

The third part of the battle introduces a few new impediments. The most important one are the mines that Kid deploys. I recommend against waiting until the boss destroys the mines inadvertently. It is better to enter the external circle, which initiates detonation procedure.

Another important impediment is that Kid X-Mas stops charging. It is very important because, the only way to harm him, from now on, is to use the Fury mode. Of course, you need to modify the your playing style accordingly, and try to make the best possible use of fury, and initiate Cooldown combos after the fury finishes. This will allow you to cut shorter the waiting times, and defeat the boss faster.

Continue launching your attacks and remember to launch regeneration movements to heal your character. Wait for the moment in which a message informing of the possibility of execution displays (Terminate - the above screenshot).

Press the interaction key/button and prepare to play a QTE event that consists in pressing a sequence of keys/buttons at the right moment. The appropriate sequence is: punch (the left mouse button), jump (SPACE), kick (the right mouse button). Finally, approach the boss and press the interaction key/button once again (Overload).
