@@NG-om2up Okay, no. Ray is hardly the hardest boss on revengeance mode. People might struggle with the second phase but once you figure out that attack pattern and get those counters down it's a whole lot easier
One of the key things about battling Armstrong is that you want those quick time events to happen. Even though it’s a rush to get your sword back afterwards, you can do TONS of damage in those quick time events.
I beat him in normal by just spamming the strong attacks, which brought him down to 150%, the QuickTime event afterward brought him down 20% each time, and the full strong attack combo dealt 30%. Repeat this until he reaches 0.1%, then kill.
The game was made so that the boss fights would sync to the music so when the boss did a QTE the song would skip to a section of the song that would fit and the climax would play when you finished off the boss fight.
If you think about it, Raiden could only damage Armstrong because he can't cover his whole body with nanomachines(son), so they kinda have to travel around , if he had more, he would probably be invincible.
"I Said My Sword Was A Tool For Justice, Not Used In Anger Not Used For Vengeance, But Now, Now I'm Not So Sure And Besides It's Not My Sword" - Raiden
I had a sorta perfect timing myself, the part of the song that does the guitar riff, it played as soon as raiden starting getting the lightning in his arm. Great timing
You know, something always bothered me about what he says regarding the Nanomachines, that they harden IN RESPONSE to physical trauma... That would mean that they harden AFTER you get hurt, which would mean he'd have a number of broken bones. However, what I think he means is that they have a sort of predictive sense connected to the brain and eyes, which react to danger by doing... Well, the whole hardening thing.
For anyone struggling to no damage the fist fight section, bare in mind you can make a backup copy of your save just as you hit the checkpoint. Go to Title, then from the Saves menu press Copy on your file, and copy it in Slot 2. Should you fail to no damage that section, simply select Title again, then hover over your backup copy, and copy it in Slot 1. Doing this allows you to retry that part even if you get hit and the game checkpoints you.
I mean, like people said, not only does it not affect the ranking, but you watched the video, right? He doesn’t get hit. He obviously is skilled enough, the extra damage is just speeding up the process.
@@WanderSeth The shorter a fight, the less opportunities there are to make mistakes. It's far easier to no-hit a boss with maxed damage, infinite energy, and unlocked skills than without them.
@@nightmarefuel8537 in the pinned comment it just says that the mouse and keyboard prompts were glitches, (i think) he didn't actually use mouse and keyboard
@@AspieOld If you equip the repair items, then you can survive a hit at the cost of a repair item. Kinda old-school style. You may only get hit as many times as repair items you got.
its definitely way easier in revengence. I struggled alot in hard but in revengeance due to the parry damage boost you can just parry when he tries to yeet your sword to do 100+% damage with one qte. And then you just chain the throwing sections
Wait you can dodge in this game? I just finished it last night, is this an upgrade I missed or something? Same with the permanent red glow, is there a passive ripper mode ability or something
the blue wig you get is from collecting the left arms witj classified data in them, fairly sure incase ur unsure of who has classified data and who doesnt, press 1, an enemy with classified data has a blue sign thing over their bodies, and when you enter blade mode near them their arms are red
3:53 standing here I realize You were just like me! Trying to make history But who’s to judge? The right from wrong! When our guards are down, I think we’ll both agree! THAT VIOLENCE BREEDS VIOLENCE But in the end It had to be this way!
Raiden lacks taunting. Imagine in 2 phase dodge every attack, while taunting Armstrong, because he is so slow. His moveset pretty simple: right hook, left hook, straight kick, then straight punch. He can throw a single uppercut sometimes.
I hadn't put much points into health by the end of the game so in trying to defeat armstrong I accidentally did an S run because I HAD to do no hits because I died in just a few
I was tryna do this a few days ago and i gave up because of the no weapon section, this took major skill, congratulations dude Edit: yeah I meant I gave up
This boss is absolutely fantastic. It's a feat of a spectacle that they made such a grounded fight scene featuring only two characters feel so *big.* It's kind of a shame that this boss's reputation has been drowned in meme culture.
My biggest difficulty with the Armstrong fight literally wasn’t anything except for the weapon with section because Armstrong kept killing me over and over I didn’t realize it was literally just got to survive for that part
@@asianguy2145 My guess Sam wasn't fully prepared to fight Armstrong and Armstrong wasn't trying, compared to when Armstrong was fighting Raiden. Not sure though and just my guess
@@JosN_i mean, sam have the same sword and as strong as right now, he still didn't slash through the nano machine,, but in the end he did cut so fast, he cut Armstrong arm before the nano machine can reach it
@@asianguy2145 armstrong caught him by surprise, and i believe the developers said that Sam could have won if he made it to a battle of attrition, but sam instead goes for a killing blow immediately
I've watched this video maybe 3 times now? Not sure how many but it sure got me into playing it since its just been sitting in my Steam library for so long.
Good I love so much Armstrong. Even when he has allready a entire Katana pierced trhough him, does he find the strength for on last try to overpower his Enemy with his own bare hands.
Honestly, no damage very hard difficulty is supposed to be harder than revengeance because revengeance has that 100 free damage qte, but still, good job
So, I may have started playing "The Only Thing I Know For Real" the second Raiden finishes saying "Let's Dance!" and it oddly goes together pretty well! At least until the Debris throwing phase.
I must say I have never used ripper mode when I was attempting an S rank (Haven't gotten it yet btw) For that matter I haven't used ripper mode on any bosses at all lmao Is it necessary?
well keyboard is easier for parrying (at least for me) but Schwing is right it's extremely annoying if your stunned because then you'll have to press the WASD keys as if spinning the movement stick on controller Edit: Spelling mistake, fixed "Becaude"
Hey man, if you ever come back to this, I recommend going into the games properties menu, select controller, and select the disabled option, and connect a controller wired, it'll remove the mouse glitch!

Basically the reason why Armstrong is easier on revengeance than very hard
Funny how fists apparently do more damage than swords... as long as it's a quick time event lol
For some reasons fists deal more damage than high-frequency sword
The last part of the fight synched in so well with the music
The game was made so that the boss fights would sync to the music so when the boss did a QTE the song would skip to a section of the song that would fit and the climax would play when you finished off the boss fight.
@@Agent_Biyan well yes but the music still ended while barely skipping, it was perfectly synced

It’s Sam’s blade, not the nanomachines. Something about the murasama allows it to cut through molecular bonds.

What he says is still technically correct, they do harden in response to physical trauma, it’s just trauma that’s about to happen
No no what he said is true, whenever he tenses his body they immediately react to it. Flexing your muscles is physical trauma
Just imagine him developing a masochistic fetish and using the nanomachines i think it would be the funniest thing
I think it works similarly to Newtownic fluids
Maybe they just harden very quickly
