Mission 5 - Of Devils and Swords
|
||||
|
When the level begins you have to fight a number of new enemies which are
quite simple, just blast them with your Handguns until they solidify and then
smash them with either the Rebellion or Cerberus. Head through the door on
the upper level and go back to the central room. Make your way to the top and
use the Astronomical Board on the pedestal. Jump down and get the shining
object you just revealed, the Vajura. That panel in the centre of the room is
just a super trampoline to use as a quick way of getting to the top. Enter
the blue door now. Make your way back to the elevator room, there is a red
crystal here, smack it with your sword as fast as possible to net yourself
quite a few orbs, now return to the previous room. Head up to the back
section of the second level anduse the Vajra on the crank. The cage has been
lifted and you can now go up to get the Soul of Steel.
Return to the central room again and head up to the yellow door. Fall off the edge of the cliff on purpose, go on, try as hard as you can. When you realize this has now become impossible run up the invisible path to the top part and whipe out your Cerberus. Smash the statue by using this weapon like crazy and get the Blue Orb Fragment from inside. Now examine the centre wall to use the Soul of Steel. Head through the door. In the next area there's an elevator, a panel to strike and a red skull on the wall. Before doing anything with the panel, first examine the red skull on the wall to activate Secret Mission 2. Your goal is to defeat all the enemies without taking any damage, obviously this isn't exactly the easiest thing in the world. Especially since these enemies have some nasty projectiles. Fortunately however when you get hit that means the end instantly, you don't have to humour them and finish the fight, it also means that you're not likely going to actually end up getting killed and have to restart the entire mission. The best way I find to do it obviously is to be extremely aggressive, start off with a Stinger toward the nearest enemy then slash him to death, this should give you just enough time to dodge the oncoming projectiles. Land and Stinger into the next enemy destroying it before you're attacked again, or perhaps quickly stunning it giving you enough time to Stinger the next nearest enemy. Just don't get in the habit of ALMOST killing them then moving onto the next one, the difference between one being alive and dead is four more icy death spikes in your face. Once you've grabbed the Blue Orb Fragment and you're back again, use the panel on the wall to activate the elevator and jump on. You'll be ambushed by a number of enemies from above, while the Shotgun works well here I find the easiest way to knock a whole ground of enemies over the edge is to simply jump and do the downward slash. Leave this area and follow the outer walkway until you come to a door. Smash everything around to get some Red Orbs and upgrade whatever skills or equipment you feel is necessary. In the next room watch the cutscene and prepare yourself for a boss battle afterward.
Prepare yourself for a difficult fight, more difficult even than the fight against Cerberus. You'll likely want to buy yourself a couple of Yellow Orbs because starting over from the beginning of the level every time kind of sucks. There are numerous strategies to use on this boss, I'll outline most of them and you can choose the one which works best for you. Choose whichever melee weapon you prefer, both Rebellion and Cerberus are good for this battle. Now here's how you're going to hurt them, and how I won the fight. Much of the damage won't actually be done by you, but rather from them. Their attacks are just as capable of hitting each other as they are of hitting you. What I did was equip the Rebellion which had Air Hike and spend much of the battle high in the air shooting downward with Ebony & Ivory. As I fell since I was always above them, I would hit the triangle button to drop down with a powerful sword swing that dealt quite a lot of damage. Much of the time in the air was characterized by them hitting each other on the ground. Now there's some danger to this too, make sure to bring at least one healing item just in case, though this holds true for all fights. The one primary attack that will put you in danger is their spinning upward slash jump. The only way to avoid this is to keep a close eye and them, when they look like they're charging for something and their sword changes colour jump away from them rather than above them. Also you'll want to know how to dodge the charge attack. Sometimes the bosses will run to the other end of the room and run toward you one at a time, when they get close they jump into the air and slash downward. To easily avoid this attack wait until the first one approaches you. The instant he leaps into the air turn around and jump in the other direction, then Air Hike to avoid the other. Now you can continue. Do your best to strike them in the middle of an attack if you can, obviously not so that it would put you in danger though. Striking the boss at the exact right time in the middle of an attack will knock the sword out of their hand, this gives you a good ten seconds to deal insane amounts of of damage while then crouch motionless on the floor. Good luck with this. To end the mission simply head through the large gray door. Remember that is you want to change your equipment, you must do it at one of the statues. |
