I guess if you wanted to be creative, you could thrown the cargo @ him which is around the beach. You can slide into Higgs, enabling you to go behind him so you can Strand him , throw kicks & punches too. It seems to be one of those Boss Fighters where being aggressive is the way to go. Can you do it stealthy? I would have to really test it out, but maybe in a few encounters you could sneak up behind him & Negate his scanner.
What controller action or button corresponds to the "Shake Off" prompt (square inside a gear) at 12:30? Pressing or mashing the square button does nothing, I am stuck in a bear hug/choke.
The button command on screen is square. Maybe try moving the L3 stick while mashing the square button. It’s been so long since I done this, I honestly can’t remember as I don’t own a PlayStation anymore. I’m on Xbox now. Hope that helps 👍
I was testing out if you could defeat Higgs by using No Kicks & just the Strand Only, but it would require 24 Strands in Total (Phase 1 & 2) of the Boss Fight & because you have a 15 minute time restriction to gain S Awesome Rank, it would take too long. So I came up with this method & pretty much destroyed him, especially in the third phase with power punches. I figured out a way in Phase 3 where Higgs is pretty much a punching bag lol. He can't do anything! Pretty certain no one has figured out this method yet. Higgs only threw 4 Punches (all 4 Missed) in total in Phase 3 & was not able to regain any health back by grabbing any Cryptobiotes. In phase 1 & 2 I did not even need to give him an extra 8 kicks. Usually each time you Strand Higgs, you can kick him 4 times until the next Parry, plus I defeated him in 5 minutes 5 seconds, which is super quick on Hard Difficulty.. Method I Used To Defeat Higgs: Higgs Scanner Ping Correctly Negated Parry With Strand When Higgs Attacks X8 In Total (Phase 1 & 2) Phase 1= 4 Strands/Kicks 12 (Extra 4 Kicks Not Required) Phase 2= 4 Strands/Kicks 12 (Extra 4 Kicks Not Required) Phase 3= Punches 5/Lean Back 3 Times/6 Punches Lean Back Once/5 Punches/Higgs Grabs Sam/Shake Off/3 Punches/Lean Back Once/Block With Both L2 & R2 & Throw 9 Power Punches To Higgs/Higgs Grabs Sam (Scripted)/Shake Off/Sam Hits Higgs 3 Times (Scripted)/2 Power Punches/Balance/Grab Higgs/Headbutt Command (3X Scripted Headbutts) Game Over Higgs!!!!!!!!!!

@@MvpGamerSkillz Figured it out finally. I simply needed to continually mash the square button more rapidly.
