jigsaw Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 http://www.abload.de/img/ownedipli7.png this will show you how to reach wave 3 in 60 seconds and take down the fenrir within 80-90 seconds, which basically means you won the mission as the rest is a joke [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4qeZwvWi64]VR Mission 18 completely destroyed in 3:44 [Metal Gear Rising Reveneance/PS3] - YouTube[/ame] first, memorize the corners for the spawn locations (i called them A,B,C and D, clockwise from the starting position) http://www.abload.de/img/18aq1xt0.jpg kill the first wave however you like, i prefer to perfect parry the leg sweep but he will most likely use his rush 90% of the time http://www.abload.de/img/18b2ixya.jpg when the first wave is down, run to corner C and face it http://www.abload.de/img/18cp8yxk.jpg http://www.abload.de/img/18dvczmo.jpg turn the camera to see the next wave spawn between A and B http://www.abload.de/img/18ersby5.jpg the mastiffs (gorillas) will always jump to the right side, follow them with the camera http://www.abload.de/img/18fjlzgg.jpg when they jump towards you, perfect parry them (this is really really easy to time and it will always hit both) http://www.abload.de/img/18gqdxyj.jpg if you trigger the zandatsu move the twirl should kill the other mastiff too, but sometimes raiden can't hit him if he jumps back or something now comes the fun part, wave 3 spawns between B and C, try to stand around here when they spawn http://www.abload.de/img/18h4uy06.jpg this will force the fenrir (wolf) to throw his projectiles at you, you don't need any luck for that, he will do it 100% of the time unless you are standing wrong we want him to throw projectiles because it's an instant kill for the hammer guys if they are hit with it, so walk behind the hammer guy close to you to bring him in the line of fire (don't forget to block!) http://www.abload.de/img/18iqpbzp.jpg http://www.abload.de/img/18j4myul.jpg and he's down. if you get super lucky the fenrir can kill both if they are close but it's not required http://www.abload.de/img/18kbty6p.jpg now hunt down the wolf at all costs, don't let him out of your sight, if he charges his laser or jumps on a wall outside your view you are dead he will constantly try his wall jump attack, so when you see him glowing red, punish him with a perfect parry (you can also hit him 1000 times but watch out for the other hammer guy) http://www.abload.de/img/18l56bkn.jpg http://www.abload.de/img/18mm2bvv.jpg wave 4 are only 3 dwarf gekkos in the middle of the room,kill 2 and change to your sai wave 5 is just a single GRAD which will spawn between D and A http://www.abload.de/img/18n50boi.jpg your sai will charge faster than he can recover from the stun, so just stun loop him http://www.abload.de/img/18o7aliy.jpg if you want to beat the mission in under 3 minutes you can try to perfect parry the GRAD, but why would anyone risk his run run for that? i sure didn't hope this helps some people, the mission really is not that bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RYU81 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 u did nice work in ur guide but don't think me wrong,i think all missions not hard also i don't like them not fan at all "most of them are stupid".idk why u say is same difficulty as challenge 6 in vanquish.

hawknz Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Great guide. I also discovered that corner trick for the Mastiffs on my own and it does indeed work 100% of the time. It's just a matter of keeping your bearings. If you kind of face the wall to your right once they've begun their wall jump attack, they will usually land with their backs facing it which reduces the chance of the second Mastiff jumping out of the way of your execute getting you an insta kill on him. It makes really the only tricky part to this VR mission dealing with the Fenrir. Perfect parry is definitely your best bet there. idk why u say is same difficulty as challenge 6 in vanquish. I honestly had more trouble with Mission 19 than this one. And I don't think any of them were anywhere near the difficulty of Vanquish Challenge 6. Completing challenge 6 took way more practice and skill than any of these. Still it's a decent challenge for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killbot-xD Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Great job, Jigsaw. I'm still in the process of S ranking Revengeance mode, but I've been hearing the tales of how tough VR 018 was. You have given me hope. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenzsaber Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 This will certainly be helpful to anyone struggling. I didn't think this mission was so bad. For wave two I usually stayed at the left and only one Mastiff jumped, but good to know you can get both consistently regardless, it seems you'll get at least one that jumps no matter what. I was pretty inconsistent at getting the wolf to kill the hammer guys so when I finally cleared this I had to deal with both hammer guys standing. They didn't actually take that long to kill with the polearm and I finished with more than enough time to spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlsDemocracy Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 G'day, thanx Jigsaw for the exelent guide, it took me about five hours to learn it and another five to master it but it would of taken six months without your help. Now onto 19 ive heard this can be just as bad Thank you again:applause: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toona Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Go to hell wave 3. I've been attempting you for 2 days. I guess I just dont have the skills for this one. Oh and one other thing, no way a friggin dwarf gekko in the way can momentarily stop a charging gekko. NOT POSSIBLE. That gekko would run the thing over, not pause begind it and hit me just as the block is down. BS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toona Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Go to hell wave 3. I've been attempting you for 2 days. I guess I just dont have the skills for this one. Oh and one other thing, no way a friggin dwarf gekko in the way can momentarily stop a charging gekko. NOT POSSIBLE. That gekko would run the thing over, not pause begind it and hit me just as the block is down. BS! Ok I just got this an hour ago. I've never been good with the perfect-parry, but it came through in the end. Eventually got Wave 1 & 2 down to a science. I followed the guide for the start of wave 3. Could normally get the hammer guy on the right killed with the wolf's throwing knifes. The hardest part was keeping track of the wolf. In the end my method was pretty much run around the exterior of the field and keep the camera panned to the center. The remaining hammer guy and the dwarfs all congregated there while I ran around. So about the wolf. It only attempted 3 attack types because of the running. The laser, the "claw", and that twirling-death-missle-tackle-thing. If the laser started to charge, I b-lined it there, if you get close to the wolf, he knocks it off. As long as I kept running, his claw attack never contacted. I was victorious when it tried the twirling-death-missle-tackle-thing. He missed the first try (because of my frantic running) and I knew he usually follows up with one or two more. So I stopped after the first miss and got ready for the second attack. Luckily got the perfect parry and ended the wolf. (the other way I beat him was with combos I layed on him after I rushed his laser charging. It takes a little more time, but if you got to Wave 3 quick, and you use the Sai method on Wave 5, you can still finish with loads to spare) Another benifit to the running around is the wolf had to jump over all the enemies in the center, and that slowed him down and gave me time to realize he was getting close to make a move of some sort. This method worked pretty well. I managed to defeat the wolf several times using it, but got caught by a hammer to the face, or back later on. Believe me, that really made me mad. To get the hardest part over with, then die. Sorry for the log winded post, but I hope my misfortunes help others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sepheroithisgod Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I'll try these tips once i cool down this mission is really angering being OHK is unfair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thedah Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 (edited) Thanks for this guide! It made this mission much more manageable. Surprisingly I failed on the GRAD once I got to him because I didn't know you had to wait for the Sai to turn purple before it would stun lock for the longest time lol. I was so frustrated wondering why I couldn't stun lock the GRAD and died to it at least 3 times. Edited May 18, 2013 by Thedah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpadesOfDarkness Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 So VR mission 18 just screwed me over. I did your strategy great up 'til the fifth wave where I had my sai fully charged. And instead of Raiden throwing the sai at the GRAD, he ends up doing this retarded spinning move which got me killed. FUCK THIS MISSION! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metdevil Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 (edited) Thanks man! VR18 was the last one I needed for the trophy. I messed up at the GRAD so had to improvise, but I got it. Final time was barely within the time limit... Now, back to trying to S-Rank/no damage Monsoon I hate this fight... EDIT: Just beat him total fluke, but a win is a win Edited June 26, 2013 by Metdevil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rings of Saturn Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) No radar screen mini map or whatever is called and perfect parrying being a bitch to do make this impossible nvm beat it in 2more tries after I posted this lol Edited July 20, 2013 by Rings of Saturn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vigawla Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Thanks for this guide! After 2 hours, I finally managed to kill the canine UG at which point my hands were shaking and I had to pause and take a break haha. Resumed and killed the GRAD no problem with the charged Sai.

oXDeViLXo Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 holy shit, kill me now. I got to wave 4... I was too excited and I died cuz a damn dwarf gekko exploded next to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oXDeViLXo Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) Is there any way I can dodge the lasers? If i run, It doesn't seem to work. If i dodge, Since it shoots like a billion lasers, while i'm dodging either the heavy's catch up to me and hit me, or a damn dwarf gekko grabs on to me and i get killed. Any tips/help on that?

YenRou Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 (edited) Thanks jigsaw for the awesome guide! I finally did it xD I thought something was wrong with your guide because the fenrir would never throw the daggers at me, but then I realized I was standing one line to close to him He ended up butchering the 2 heavy cyborgs [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuSZnzVVPmM]Metal Gear Rising - VR #18 - YouTube[/ame] Now for Revengeance S-rank!

Ozymandias Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 (edited) I have not been this infuriated with a game since Shadow of the Colossus HD's HTA #3 in late '11. This is absolute, utter bull****. -_- Beat it after another 25 minutes of retries. All in all it probably took more than 150 minutes worth. Tactical Mission 6 didn't piss me off as much as this did. I get that TM6 is harder, but I never, ever died UNFAIRLY. Key word there. THIS God-DAMN 18 though was cheaper than second-hand aeroplane headphones on or darkest of Fridays. -_- Too often I died because the camera wasn't going where I wanted it, enemies were out of frame, enemies would charge as a dwarf pounced on me, or a Dwarf blocked me or the charge moves that are easy to counter. Heck, I was so close to beating round 3 a few times but I'd get stuck or become immobile against a surviving Hammer dude. If I wasn't so relieved I'd break the damn disc.

Musashi1596 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Honestly at the moment the thing I hate most about this level is the fact that the arena is completely devoid of landmarks. Trying to keep track of which direction I'm facing is maddening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
