jaycee_88 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 what difficulty are you playing it on? and remember you do not have to fight all enemies, try and run and see if it will work. If your at the beginning, where i think you are, defeat the enemies and quickly go open the gate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't the beginning... it was the boss of the level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falasi007 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Was ganna post but slept ...lol anyway I had the same problem with that mission but what worked best for me is to have him cornered , your friendly AI will spam his fire attack (and take hits from all other enemies) while you spam melee attacks. never be in an open space as the boss will use that stupid fire attack and you'll be forced to do so... which is not helpful if you are getting hits at the same time. (Hope this help , not sure if my English is good enough :x ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychoNinjaKen Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 You can run away to the back of the area and shoot the boss in the back of his head with the crossbow a few times, and then boom he is knocked out. I did this on Nightmare difficulty and i defeated the boss easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRobJunior Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 Im on the last mission of my nightmare playthrough (Chapter 5 - Mission 1), this is insane, I feel this might keep me from plat. I can't even reach end where you have to purify that guy with the respawning enimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falasi007 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I had the same problem with 5-1 , remember that you can heal yourself with AI after each group of enemies. also make sure that he get into fights 1st and you keep away , spam nightmare + O as its AoE should kill most enemies in 4 hits ( do 1 hit -> nightmare off -> 1 hit -> repeat) on that place just spam R1-O for AoE. at least thats how I managed it.

jaycee_88 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 yea i had that problem, stay close to your partner to purify the enemy, keep doing it, it should take about 2mins of purifying the guy. Remember you can use and as well or the nightmare arrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for you're tips, I completely forgot all about healing because I never had to use it till now, I'll try in a few min & let you guys know how that worked out for me. UPDATE Thank you so much, I just got the platinum. Healing deff helped me. Edited October 25, 2011 by TRobJunior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA PAUL Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 i cant beat the boss in 4.3 i either get attacked from his goons or he parries the sword attacks,i tried shooting him with arrows from a distance but again an odd goon will come up or respawn.

Mitsuru Kirijo Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 i cant beat the boss in 4.3 i either get attacked from his goons or he parries the sword attacks,i tried shooting him with arrows from a distance but again an odd goon will come up or respawn. If you're doing this on Nightmare - or, really, any difficulty -, the trick is to shoot one or two arrows then create some space for yourself by parrying the attack of one of the infinitely respawning enemies who will probably be right on top of you, and then running to another part of the area and shooting another arrow or two. If you're doing the arrow method in the first part of the fight, make sure to use your curse to run away from any soldiers attacking you - the curse makes you faster; in the second part of the fight the curse is always active, so as long as you don't just stand in one spot you should be able to get away from enemies quickly enough in order to fire another arrow or two - just remember to get as far away from them as possible: you can't just stand a few feet away from the boss and not get hit by enemies; you need to be at the outer edges of the area; also, like I said, you're not going to be able to fire 4 or 5 arrows without getting attacked, so fire 1 or 2 and then either switch to a melee weapon and prepare to parry and run, or just fire 1 or 2 arrows and run to the other side of the area. If you're doing this on Nightmare, Esteban should be relatively safe from going down, so you won't have to worry about him; on easier difficulties, though, he might go down; so, if you're doing this on Crusader, say, it might be more worth your while to try and get right to the boss, get behind him, and just bash away on him.

Semifreak de Bolacha Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) I am doing this on Nightmare difficulty and the second part of the fight is where i keep failing. As for Esteban, he doesn't do as well on his own as i expected, he has gone down a few times , maybe i'll be trying the arrow method today. EDIT : Done! but with the normal method, just kept pouding him while esteban burned him. I went down a few times and so did Esteban but got through... Couldnt do the arrow method because with the curse active i can't tell which one is which and didnt know who i should shoot Edited February 16, 2012 by Semifreak de Bolacha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nave Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 (edited) I'm having trouble with 4-3 too.. I just want to know why there's so checkpoint before the boss. Gonna try the arrow method I guess.. Edited November 1, 2012 by Nave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakaSasukeGR Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) Having trouble in the same spot. Devs have my permission to fire themselves. Why did they forgot checkpoints?? Edited May 19, 2014 by TakaSasukeGR DID IT! I dunno why but anytime I curse a dev team because they made a broken game, I pass the spot I'm loosing. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
