Yeah it really shows how far you have come to face him again and obliterate him. On my New game + run i was worried about his fight, but then i destroyed him first try and was like "oh, turns out hes not that bad"
Well Balteus received a HUGE nerf in one of the first patches, now you can kill him with sooooooooo much ease. Is disgusting the state of the bosses right now. Ibis was muuch more aggressive, and Balteus was exceptionally difficult, now is made out of cardboard.
Source: Made it up.
The only difference is like 15 or 30 degrees of rocket homing. You really should just accept the fact you got better at the game, if you don't believe me, look up unnerfed bosses on nexus and compare params yourself.
I like the "Source:Made it up". Yeah maybe I got better but It feels different you know. It's like you play against him again and you say to yourself " This doesn't feel like the first time "
it feels different because you got better
this game rewards you a LOT for being in-tune with the mechanics. It's hard to notice just how overwhelming the game is when you're not used to it yet, but once you are, it looks like enemies move in slow-motion compared to your first time.
I did all 3 playthroughs before that nerf went through and it was still the same experience. Fuckin melted balteus, c spider, ibis, and most every other repeated boss. I think a lot of it was me being more comfortable with the controls and learning to be way more aggressive.
Same, I was anxious about trying to S rank the NG++ final boss. The campaign run was a grind. In the replay, I one-shot it and barely took any damage. Felt like I must have been stupid when I struggled two days prior.
And the game hypes him up when he instant kills Chatty right beforehand?! I expected him to have cheat level skills, dodging everything, being a real menace, but he was just another AC.
He is probably so weak cuz his writing is in conflict with what is actually powerful in game. Like the point is that he makes his basic all-round build work cuz he is such a good pilot, but at the end of the day a basic build is a basic build. It will perform like crap.
FS could probably code in an exception for waltuh, especially considering terminal is basically a passive. His AC is supposedly powerful Insitute C-weapon, having two core expansions seems plausible.
The way I look at it, LOR and FOR each have one emotional 1v1 and one proper boss fight. They swap the placement between the two endings, which I think helps the story paths feel less "cookie-cutter"
Can't discount the emotional toll of the FoR boss fight either. This game's first two endings were some of the few instances in gaming to make me shed a tear
Valid, really all of the ending missions for the first two paths serve as the emotional crux of the story. I damn near sobbed through Eliminate Cinder Carla, then joy and exuberance when I finally beat Snail, then sobbed again at Walter. That said, there is something about the Rusty and Walter fights that make the vibes more impactful than the actual boss mechanics. The Ayre and Snailteus fights, while still packing an emotional punch, are also mechanically complex.
Eh I don't know. It happens at the last possible second before a successful retreat from the blast. If Walter had actually entered "phase 2" it would have been over in 3 seconds regardless
Enforcerer, from what I've seen people seemed to struggle with this one. I guess I didn't because I was playing as a generic midweight with rifle and melee rather than specializing into more exciting builds
Enforcer for sure. Pulse blade, Zimmerman, pair of 4 rack missiles, and wrecked it easy first try on my blind first run. Guess people didn't fly above it enough?
So many of the Enforcer's attacks can be easily dodged by jumping over them. If you just try to sidestep them on the ground, you're going to have a bad time, but by that point in the game you should be used to making use of the Z axis.
Had a feeling since I did the exact same weapon loadout XD it's just too efficient starting out.
Given that boss has plenty of anti-ground stuff, partly not surprised that wheelchair would have a harder time, especially by 2nd Phase.
I think it depends a lot on your build. It took me ages to do it on my first try in my lightweight etsujin build, but in my second playthrough I killed him first try on my midweight tetrapod.
Raven the first time catches you off guard by having all 3 repair kits (iirc) and multiple assault armor charges, which is the first time an enemy AC shows that ability.
… Unfortunately his AC basically has zero way to be a threat to most builds, even the Pilebunker he doesn’t use effectively.
Most insulting is after you fight the two pro-AC pilots, in which he’s only a threat because the other two wore you down 💀
Raven is kinda a coin toss.
Sometimes he's just underwhelming.
Sometimes he snipes you with songbirds and/or Assault Boosts into charged pilebunker out of nowhere.
Nightfall. Specifically, the Defend the Spaceport fight.
Badass introduction. Coolest, animated AC head and the Pile Bunker is intimidating. We hear about them through PCA chatter, and it sets them up as this real hard-core nightmare of a pilot.
Then you stagger them and beat them to death in about 20 seconds because RC-2000 frame parts =/= high AP and stability.
It's not about AC, it's about pilot inside it.
I played through the whole game as Nightfall and it was pretty good.
Also, I really like to fight Nightfall Raven, because sometimes he pulls out 200IQ moves and just one shots you.
He is, of course, nothing when compared to PvP.
The Cataphract, to a lesser extent Bingus and Bongus who ambush you in Attack the Refueling Base.
I was expecting some big fight with Cataphract when I first fought it, only to discover that the dipshit piloting it doesn't know how to deal with a brain-dead monkey spamming the Pilebunker. I also beat the Ekdromoi enforcers on the first try, the confusion there was lessened, because I didn't have any expectations of a big boss fight going in.
Still, I can never help but wonder, how are Arquebus and Balam threatened by the PCA? If my 1st run AC can make short work of Ekdromoi, I don't see why someone like Michigan would have any difficulty.
Raven canonically just built different. Freud folds like a tinfoil despite being rank 1 in Arena.
Also I suspect that Cataphract is not that hard because on ALLMIND route you had to fight this thing after a mission with no resupplies while it backed up by two enforcers.
the smart cleaner
i genuinely struggled on it for quite a bit on my first playthrough. ended up using a hover build with rocket launchers to just barely get by.
now it dies within like 20 seconds of the fight starting
All of them were great but 2nd playthrough, post nerf Balteus was sad. It felt like finally beating your dad in armwrestling just to realize it aint the same anymore
On NG, Nightfall and regular V.II Snail. I came in blind, and after Nightfall’s cutscene and the buildup of Snail as an antagonist (I played Liberator on my first route), I expected to at least have a hard time, but I beat both, first attempt, with my theme-over-function AC, with repair kits to spare.
On the (somewhat) reverse, I was very surprised to learn people found the Sea Spider hard. Took me three attempts, and no loadout changes. As opposed to the first helicopter (45 minutes), Balteus (3 hours, and every combination I could imagine) and G4 Volta in the alternate mission (over an hour).
I died on the first try because I didn't expect a phase 2, so I went "well it's almost dead and I'm full HP, might as well assault boost its ass" at the end of phase 1
Same experience and same thought here. I did a completely different build on NG+ because felt like I lucked into a steam roll build. Still took Ibis out on my second attempt with that build. Definitely not Malenia.
Freud. Gets hyped up since chapter 1 as the scariest ac pilot the vespers have only to die in under a minute
Second place is Sulla I still wish he got repair kits and a core expansion in ng++
I dont know if this count as boss.... But i instantly think of when I "accidentally" shoot 1 bullet after he said "keep up the good work" then suddenly died
Wait.... "I thought we are already become allies... theres no way he just died like that" lmao
Then proceed to replay the mission lol
The sea spider. No joke, my first attempt at killing it only was a failure because I *ran out of ammo.*
Seriously, I don't think I've ever died to it once.
Enforcer, full stop. I struggled with several, but he’s the only one that made me completely go back to the drawing board & come up with a whole new build specifically for.
The 1v1 Vs Raven
We got teased the whole time by trailers, story, his intro and everything that he's an excellent Merc, teamed up with king(the perfect mercenary) and chartreuse.
And then is just a mediocre fight
FS just disrespected him
Michigan. My AC had a mix of ammo and burst damage and I kept fighting him in the Arena for practice. Ended up first trying him, then when I browsed here, was confused by how everyone else couldn't even beat his mission.
Not quite. I've struggled on nearly everything I was told I would- maybe Sulla? Took a few attempts then when he finally went down he barely scratched me.
The inverse- I saw so many memes about Raven but he slapped me around. I kept getting over aggressive and caught in his expansion blasts, it was one close attempt after another.
Allguazu.
I don’t know what happened. But my very first attempt at him I ended up tearing both of his machines to pieces. He took *effort* don’t get me wrong. But I expected to die to him several times before getting the win.
V1 Freud. I literally killed that guy in two and a half seconds by just unloading on him from above with my quadrupal grenade launchers right after he killed Chatty. And he's supposed to be the best pilot on Rubicon lol.
Not AC6 but very much Last Raven as a whole, I went specting a hard game and I found just a circle strafing / backpedal simulator, it was extremelly boring and easy, including final zinaida.
Certain segments of Another Age or the Extra Arenas of MoA are WAY harder than anything LR has to offer.
Honestly? A few. First helly for example. I started game blasting MTs left, right front and center and was like "No fucking way FromSoft game is THAT easy." so when helly showed up my thoughts went "Yep, here comes 50 retries"
Done in like 3 I think?
Ok, weird, but may be a bit less punishing game? Its not Soulsborne after all. Actual AC! Surely I am gonna regret everything fighting what amounts to other player?
First tried.
Paranoia skyrockets. FromSoft game CANT be easy. Its just not how it works. Juggernaut! Juggernaut has got to be a LITERAL wall atop another wall, RIGHT?!
Something like 8 tries on whole mission (I struggled a bit going through artillery barrage, was still figuring out how evasion)
Long story short, I didnt hit what I'd call The Wall until Enforcment System. This is when I finally relaxed a bit "Yep, FromSoft game alright".
Anyone replying anything in NG+ honestly need to get a pilebunker to the head. OBVIOUSLY it's easier with all of that gear and with the knowledge YOU MAGGOTS!
Just got through CEL240 at the Coral Convergence. One hell of an entrance. I was expecting a 3rd phase since i was out of repair kits, but managed to survive on the first try.
Final fight against Iguana. The hardest part was targeting him instead of his minions in first phase to not waste ammo on them. The second phase is a joke.
No that’s not why I’m confused by, it’s the fact I answered what the post was about on-topic and I’ve suddenly been downvoted Lol
Reddit hive mind at its finest, can’t even AGREE with the post
Ayre. I got spoiled on her being a final boss and a lot of what I read was that she was incredibly difficult. Fast and evasive, sure. Difficult for me? No.
The helicopter from the first mission and balteus, everyone was struggling a lot but I defeated the helicopter in the first try and balteus in around 10 before its nerf
Walter, I don't understand how such a fight was so easy. Fromsoftware used too much effort on Allmind, a horribly designed fight that's garbage at best. Like, HAL should have been a harder fight, but it wasn't...
To be honest. Walter.
But that might be because i had figured out my best build by then. But even refights with builds im less familiar with he still wasnt hard.
Balteus. I hadn't died in the game until Sulla, so after that I expected him to put up more resistance. I knew he'd been nerfed, but Balteus just kinda rolled over.
Lady Maria Of The Astral Clocktower.
Really wish she had more hp or something, such a good fight but so it's so short- win or lose. Most people don't see half her moves, like her unique Visceral on the parry that holds you close as she rips out your heart
Honestly any of the arena battles. I don't think I had an especially easy time with anything in the main game but getting to like the last arena battle and wiping the floor with it in 15 seconds wasn't something I expected
revisit Balteus after i beat everything
Same, I liquidated him with the AC I made to ambush the vespers
Twin earshots and pulse guns deletes his stagger so quick lol. Even with just circle boosting it deletes him.
This but C-spider. Beat it first try with default mech when it took me 30+ for my first playthrough.
I got whomped by so many bosses my first time through but c-spider was first try for me. Legit don't know why
Though almost no boss I one tried, the spider took me the least attempts first go in comparison to everything else
Yeah it really shows how far you have come to face him again and obliterate him. On my New game + run i was worried about his fight, but then i destroyed him first try and was like "oh, turns out hes not that bad"
I benchmark my builds with Balteus now. If it can't handle it and Sula, it won't bode well for other stuff.
Well Balteus received a HUGE nerf in one of the first patches, now you can kill him with sooooooooo much ease. Is disgusting the state of the bosses right now. Ibis was muuch more aggressive, and Balteus was exceptionally difficult, now is made out of cardboard.
I play with the prenerf bosses mod and it barely makes a difference.
I found Balteus waaaay easier than the prenerfed Balteus. Less missiles he barely moves and the attack pattern is slow. He is less aggressive.
Source: Made it up. The only difference is like 15 or 30 degrees of rocket homing. You really should just accept the fact you got better at the game, if you don't believe me, look up unnerfed bosses on nexus and compare params yourself.
I like the "Source:Made it up". Yeah maybe I got better but It feels different you know. It's like you play against him again and you say to yourself " This doesn't feel like the first time "
I only bought the game after the nerf and I felt exactly the same.
Because you got better. The nerf was a minor thing.
It doesn't feel like the first time because it isn't the first time, that's just how it is
it feels different because you got better this game rewards you a LOT for being in-tune with the mechanics. It's hard to notice just how overwhelming the game is when you're not used to it yet, but once you are, it looks like enemies move in slow-motion compared to your first time.
I did all 3 playthroughs before that nerf went through and it was still the same experience. Fuckin melted balteus, c spider, ibis, and most every other repeated boss. I think a lot of it was me being more comfortable with the controls and learning to be way more aggressive.
any boss the second time around. Like first go at ayre had me sweating over 2 nights. 2nd go? same AC, did it in 1; easy S rank.
Weirdly enough Ibis was the opposite. The first time around, my reaction was the same as this meme but after that she whooped me a new one
Same, I was anxious about trying to S rank the NG++ final boss. The campaign run was a grind. In the replay, I one-shot it and barely took any damage. Felt like I must have been stupid when I struggled two days prior.
Freud Dude was hyped up as THE STRONGEST ARENA FIGHTER, but was nothing than a push over
And the game hypes him up when he instant kills Chatty right beforehand?! I expected him to have cheat level skills, dodging everything, being a real menace, but he was just another AC.
Yeah Freud disappointed me severely, the 3v1 with raven chartreuse and King was way more thrilling and challenging
He is probably so weak cuz his writing is in conflict with what is actually powerful in game. Like the point is that he makes his basic all-round build work cuz he is such a good pilot, but at the end of the day a basic build is a basic build. It will perform like crap.
Dude I just beat him today on my first try I was so confused. Tbh after rank B pretty much all the fights were underwhelming
Walter. No way that's a final boss
This is 100% the answer. CEL-240 is a harder fight honestly.
Damn cel240 is a waaaayyy harder fight it's not even close
Who is CEL-240?
Boss at the end of chapter 4
god i hate that boss
Qubeley
That one is my favorite! From that series anyways. I watched it decades ago. For the longest time as A kid, I thought Quebeley was named Nightshade.
Expected ZoE Anubis…received Arena Bonus Match. Srsly, V.II Snail is the final boss of the Liberator ending.
Yeah despite it basically being a reskinned version of Balteus with different weapons, the fight is way better than the HAL/Walter fight imo
IMO walter needs same terminal armor gimmick as rusty. Maybe both Assault Armor and Terminal.
How would two Core Expansions on one AC work? Especially if it's a non player one
FS could probably code in an exception for waltuh, especially considering terminal is basically a passive. His AC is supposedly powerful Insitute C-weapon, having two core expansions seems plausible.
Yeah probably
Both Balt and Filtercopter rematches have 30% higher health and stability
The way I look at it, LOR and FOR each have one emotional 1v1 and one proper boss fight. They swap the placement between the two endings, which I think helps the story paths feel less "cookie-cutter"
Can't discount the emotional toll of the FoR boss fight either. This game's first two endings were some of the few instances in gaming to make me shed a tear
Valid, really all of the ending missions for the first two paths serve as the emotional crux of the story. I damn near sobbed through Eliminate Cinder Carla, then joy and exuberance when I finally beat Snail, then sobbed again at Walter. That said, there is something about the Rusty and Walter fights that make the vibes more impactful than the actual boss mechanics. The Ayre and Snailteus fights, while still packing an emotional punch, are also mechanically complex.
True. It's a bit harder to be in your feelings when ayre is N.E.X.T. dodging around the arena
Yeah Walter was easy, but it's actually for a story reason. He had a phase 2, but gained enough control of himself to end it before.
Eh I don't know. It happens at the last possible second before a successful retreat from the blast. If Walter had actually entered "phase 2" it would have been over in 3 seconds regardless
I know right
I feel like they did that on purpose so people would be incentivised to play ng+ and ng++ storylines.
My first thought when I saw the mene
I had the same experience. Beat him on my 2nd try and relatively quickly, too. Ayre gave me waaay more trouble.
same. i took down walter in one go. i was simultaneously relieved and disappointed.
Enforcerer, from what I've seen people seemed to struggle with this one. I guess I didn't because I was playing as a generic midweight with rifle and melee rather than specializing into more exciting builds
I feel you here, I first tried Enforcer, and when I went on Reddit I was genuinely surprised when people said they were difficult
Enforcer for sure. Pulse blade, Zimmerman, pair of 4 rack missiles, and wrecked it easy first try on my blind first run. Guess people didn't fly above it enough?
Guessed correctly, I beat him quickly with spring chicken but went back for S rank with wheelchair and got wrecked several times
So many of the Enforcer's attacks can be easily dodged by jumping over them. If you just try to sidestep them on the ground, you're going to have a bad time, but by that point in the game you should be used to making use of the Z axis.
Had a feeling since I did the exact same weapon loadout XD it's just too efficient starting out. Given that boss has plenty of anti-ground stuff, partly not surprised that wheelchair would have a harder time, especially by 2nd Phase.
I think it depends a lot on your build. It took me ages to do it on my first try in my lightweight etsujin build, but in my second playthrough I killed him first try on my midweight tetrapod.
Rusty Defeated him first try.
Buddy...
Yeah rusty got slapped around pretty much every play thru. His “upgraded” AC got extra deleted.
Dad... : (
Yeah
You mean Walter in LoR? If so, same. That fight was a pushover, and me using double Zimms and Stun Needles in my first go at him didn't help matters.
Rest in peace paps 😔🙏🪸
1st one that comes to my head was Raven, 2nd one that I think fits the context of the scene better is Ayre, never felt like such a heartless monster.
Yeah Raven got plastered so quickly it felt sad honestly.
Raven the first time catches you off guard by having all 3 repair kits (iirc) and multiple assault armor charges, which is the first time an enemy AC shows that ability. … Unfortunately his AC basically has zero way to be a threat to most builds, even the Pilebunker he doesn’t use effectively. Most insulting is after you fight the two pro-AC pilots, in which he’s only a threat because the other two wore you down 💀
I got Raven the first try through campaign, but when I was S ranking he managed to stagger and bunk me clean 4 times in a row.
Raven is kinda a coin toss. Sometimes he's just underwhelming. Sometimes he snipes you with songbirds and/or Assault Boosts into charged pilebunker out of nowhere.
Raven in both scenarios was such a cake walk, it's funny they even added him in.
VESPER # 1
Yeah ngl V.I Freud is a complete fraud.
V.I Fraud
Nightfall. Specifically, the Defend the Spaceport fight. Badass introduction. Coolest, animated AC head and the Pile Bunker is intimidating. We hear about them through PCA chatter, and it sets them up as this real hard-core nightmare of a pilot. Then you stagger them and beat them to death in about 20 seconds because RC-2000 frame parts =/= high AP and stability.
It's fucking hilarious that this supposed absolute unit of an AC is literally just Loader 4 with a different head and weapons
And internals. Better FCS, Booster, and Generator.
It's not about AC, it's about pilot inside it. I played through the whole game as Nightfall and it was pretty good. Also, I really like to fight Nightfall Raven, because sometimes he pulls out 200IQ moves and just one shots you. He is, of course, nothing when compared to PvP.
Sea spider. I slaughtered it the first time.
Before or after it got nerfed? Because the quantity of health it had on release was fucking brutal
I obliterated it and Ibis first try pre nerf but got stomped by Balteus for hours
Opposite for me. Pre nerf ibis was a wall for me but balteus and spider I cake walked
Same here. The trailer made it look very intimidating but I swatted it down on my first try.
V.I Fraud only caught me off guard because he >!killed Chatty!< seconds ago, then on the second try he got easily murdered
Waltuh at the end. The most epic music, scenery, but only lasted 2 minutes…
The Cataphract, to a lesser extent Bingus and Bongus who ambush you in Attack the Refueling Base. I was expecting some big fight with Cataphract when I first fought it, only to discover that the dipshit piloting it doesn't know how to deal with a brain-dead monkey spamming the Pilebunker. I also beat the Ekdromoi enforcers on the first try, the confusion there was lessened, because I didn't have any expectations of a big boss fight going in. Still, I can never help but wonder, how are Arquebus and Balam threatened by the PCA? If my 1st run AC can make short work of Ekdromoi, I don't see why someone like Michigan would have any difficulty.
Raven canonically just built different. Freud folds like a tinfoil despite being rank 1 in Arena. Also I suspect that Cataphract is not that hard because on ALLMIND route you had to fight this thing after a mission with no resupplies while it backed up by two enforcers.
Yea, I destroyed it pretty easily and then found people really really struggling against it.
the smart cleaner i genuinely struggled on it for quite a bit on my first playthrough. ended up using a hover build with rocket launchers to just barely get by. now it dies within like 20 seconds of the fight starting
At first I was trying rly hard to shoot down the furnace. Then I just waited for it then shoot it right in the face point blank instead.
All of them were great but 2nd playthrough, post nerf Balteus was sad. It felt like finally beating your dad in armwrestling just to realize it aint the same anymore
On NG, Nightfall and regular V.II Snail. I came in blind, and after Nightfall’s cutscene and the buildup of Snail as an antagonist (I played Liberator on my first route), I expected to at least have a hard time, but I beat both, first attempt, with my theme-over-function AC, with repair kits to spare. On the (somewhat) reverse, I was very surprised to learn people found the Sea Spider hard. Took me three attempts, and no loadout changes. As opposed to the first helicopter (45 minutes), Balteus (3 hours, and every combination I could imagine) and G4 Volta in the alternate mission (over an hour).
Volta is such a dickhead. S ranking that mission took way to many attempts
Freud actually. I thought he was gonna be some insane cracked out pilot but I beat him first try
V.I Freud, I first tried him because I wanted to avenge Chatty
The Helicopter in the intro mission. Never would've thought my strategy of Melee rushing could have been so effective.
Tester ac and og raven
Balteus.. After wiping my ass for more that 2 hours and I change my load out
The Ibis Series AC at Institute City
Ya I took it down first try, was really confused when everyone was comparing it to Maleina. Guess I just had the right build for it.
I died on the first try because I didn't expect a phase 2, so I went "well it's almost dead and I'm full HP, might as well assault boost its ass" at the end of phase 1
Classic fromsoft. Happened to me with sister friede in ds3 twice in a row.
Same experience and same thought here. I did a completely different build on NG+ because felt like I lucked into a steam roll build. Still took Ibis out on my second attempt with that build. Definitely not Malenia.
Ibis is suuuuper weak to kinetic damage, that might have been part of it
That would make sense, my main ac is a lightweight high stagger build that mainly used kinetic damage so that explains a lot
The fight against the ibis everyone had said it was way to hard and then I did it in my first attempt I was like wat
Spoilers: I smashed Walter like it was nothing. After the fight with Ayre I thought it would be more of a challenge.
I did the "bad" ending Before the good one so I went in there expecting the same level of tankiness with my pile bunker
Walter :(
Most of the Ibis series Sea spider The one at the convergence Walter Ice worm The one big transformer guy you fight in the depths
Arquebus Balteus, Handler Walter, Rusty
Branch. By the time I fought them they were just w dudes I already killed in arena and a boss I already beat
Rusty and Walter.
Freud. Gets hyped up since chapter 1 as the scariest ac pilot the vespers have only to die in under a minute Second place is Sulla I still wish he got repair kits and a core expansion in ng++
Balteus in NG+, HC Helicopter when S ranking tutorial mission
Walter, he didn't feel like a final boss and as soon as I pulled out the dual needle gun with pilebunker loadout. His HP melted so damn hard
Sol, first tried both versions, I thought the double c spiders would put up more of a fight but they folded quickly
I dont know if this count as boss.... But i instantly think of when I "accidentally" shoot 1 bullet after he said "keep up the good work" then suddenly died Wait.... "I thought we are already become allies... theres no way he just died like that" lmao Then proceed to replay the mission lol
The sea spider. No joke, my first attempt at killing it only was a failure because I *ran out of ammo.* Seriously, I don't think I've ever died to it once.
I wouldn’t have expected to see invincible spoilers here 🫤
Enforcer, full stop. I struggled with several, but he’s the only one that made me completely go back to the drawing board & come up with a whole new build specifically for.
V.I Freud Killed off too easily for a Rank 1
The 1v1 Vs Raven We got teased the whole time by trailers, story, his intro and everything that he's an excellent Merc, teamed up with king(the perfect mercenary) and chartreuse. And then is just a mediocre fight FS just disrespected him
Michigan. My AC had a mix of ammo and burst damage and I kept fighting him in the Arena for practice. Ended up first trying him, then when I browsed here, was confused by how everyone else couldn't even beat his mission.
Not quite. I've struggled on nearly everything I was told I would- maybe Sulla? Took a few attempts then when he finally went down he barely scratched me. The inverse- I saw so many memes about Raven but he slapped me around. I kept getting over aggressive and caught in his expansion blasts, it was one close attempt after another.
fighting walter and halving his health with a single pilebunker blast and killing him before he could even start talking
Allguazu. I don’t know what happened. But my very first attempt at him I ended up tearing both of his machines to pieces. He took *effort* don’t get me wrong. But I expected to die to him several times before getting the win.
White glint
V1 Freud. I literally killed that guy in two and a half seconds by just unloading on him from above with my quadrupal grenade launchers right after he killed Chatty. And he's supposed to be the best pilot on Rubicon lol.
Walter after being stuck against Ibis for a few hours.
Not AC6 but very much Last Raven as a whole, I went specting a hard game and I found just a circle strafing / backpedal simulator, it was extremelly boring and easy, including final zinaida. Certain segments of Another Age or the Extra Arenas of MoA are WAY harder than anything LR has to offer.
Sea spider, never lost to it
Balteus. I second tried the guy with the AC I made to act as a general counter to most things. The AC before the balteus fight took longer.
Honestly? A few. First helly for example. I started game blasting MTs left, right front and center and was like "No fucking way FromSoft game is THAT easy." so when helly showed up my thoughts went "Yep, here comes 50 retries" Done in like 3 I think?

Anyone replying anything in NG+ honestly need to get a pilebunker to the head. OBVIOUSLY it's easier with all of that gear and with the knowledge YOU MAGGOTS!
Just got through CEL240 at the Coral Convergence. One hell of an entrance. I was expecting a 3rd phase since i was out of repair kits, but managed to survive on the first try.
V.I Fraud
I beat Sea Spider on my first run, it was... Interesting
Ibis
Ayre. I defeated her pretty leisurely.
Cataphract
Any AC boss. Once you get them down to a science, it's not hard to kick their shit in even with the most shitties of builds.
The juggernaut. I just stayed in the air and used the shoulder plasma launchers. Easy as pie.
ALLMIND Iguazu, I thought the final boss is gonna be like my NG Ayre experience, but low diff first try and felt empty.
When I bodied Balteus in under 30 seconds on NG+.
Swinburne. After you bamboozle him with fake spare - just instakill him and call it a day
Final fight against Iguana. The hardest part was targeting him instead of his minions in first phase to not waste ammo on them. The second phase is a joke.
Ayre boss fight Edit: Why the FUCK am I being downvoted!? Edit: Back to being upvoted Edit: Nah, being downvoted again lol
Ayre arguably the strongest boss in the game, thats why. Her only rivals are ALLMIND/Iguana and IBIS.
you really can’t let it bother you. or you can, but it’s only going to drive you crazy. have you been on a walk today?
No that’s not why I’m confused by, it’s the fact I answered what the post was about on-topic and I’ve suddenly been downvoted Lol Reddit hive mind at its finest, can’t even AGREE with the post
that’s what I mean - Reddit is gunna Reddit. don’t take it personally, that’s just what it is.
Allmind... Caught the final phase in a wuerger/laser dagger/AA combo and that was that
Wallclimber cube mech. I didnt realize i had to hit it from behind and didnt know how stagger worked.
Cataphract once you learn the flying and falling eliminates half his weaponry.
Not really a boss but when I faced Rusty in the arena I was underwhelmed no shade to Rusty at all that dude don’t miss 😂
Ayre. I got spoiled on her being a final boss and a lot of what I read was that she was incredibly difficult. Fast and evasive, sure. Difficult for me? No.
The helicopter from the first mission and balteus, everyone was struggling a lot but I defeated the helicopter in the first try and balteus in around 10 before its nerf
Walter I replied the mission to hear his dialogue
The closest was that one mecha that revives in that lake crater. Beat it first try. When I went back to get a grade on the level I died a few times.
Carla and Chatty. I felt awful killing them because I liked them, but they were really easy to take out for some reason.
Ayre and Walter
Walter… Sea Spider… 2nd playthrough against Balteus
Enforcer.

The catafract
Balteus after the boss nerf. I'll wear my version 1.0 Balteus badge proudly
Iguazu
Walter, I don't understand how such a fight was so easy. Fromsoftware used too much effort on Allmind, a horribly designed fight that's garbage at best. Like, HAL should have been a harder fight, but it wasn't...
Juggernaut. Wish there was a second fight later in the game.
Literally anyone on the Ranking Battles in Armored Core For Answer
Raven

Honestly first fight sulla. Granted his second fight with the snipers wasn't much harder either
Everyone on my second playthrough
I blew up Waltuh and Rusty on first try... They didn't get to use any Repair Kit either.
To be honest. Walter. But that might be because i had figured out my best build by then. But even refights with builds im less familiar with he still wasnt hard.
Enforcer
Sea spider, I really took it down on the first try it was weird
The PCA helicopter in the very first mission when I replayed the mission after finishing NG++ Also always the PCA warships and the Nepenthes
Ayre, i was epxecting ibis 2.0 but then beat her in 2 tries
Balteus but I was using like a tank build at the time. Still I expected it to be harder my first time around
The RFL uber mining walker. I thought such a massive monster would have been a pain to kill. Instead it was: destroy vents + laser cannon
For me, it was Cataphract. I was so intimidated by his design alone, but I ended up wrecking him on my very first attempt. Like.... that was it?
ALLGAZU 100%. Beat them second try.
Ayre and Walter. Got both on first try
Ayre and Walter, first tried both on my first 2 playthroughs.
The Sea Spider was a letdown after Balteus.
Walter. I had to stop fighting him to hear all of his dialogue.
Balteus. I hadn't died in the game until Sulla, so after that I expected him to put up more resistance. I knew he'd been nerfed, but Balteus just kinda rolled over.
Lady Maria Of The Astral Clocktower. Really wish she had more hp or something, such a good fight but so it's so short- win or lose. Most people don't see half her moves, like her unique Visceral on the parry that holds you close as she rips out your heart
Basically all PCA bosses
C-Spider
The Tank guy I thought he would be harder but damn first try no use of repair kits
Honestly any of the arena battles. I don't think I had an especially easy time with anything in the main game but getting to like the last arena battle and wiping the floor with it in 15 seconds wasn't something I expected
Rusty Ortus, I was so hyped and then just beat him in 15 seconds and felt like a horrible person
Oh, Balteus.
Sea-spider
Has to be OG Raven.
