Spoken like a true merc

what about two more ducketts

a lobotomite 😂😂😂😂😂

thats the true independent merc life

dual etsujin for me

what unestablished weapons?

@@ereder1476I think he means underused or underrated

​@@ereder1476Probably the Schneider Laser Shotgun. I absolutely adore this thing as a sub weapon for a Melee centric build.

@@nebulous9280 I don't think most people just went for cheese build.i've never used songbirds or dual zimmerman or even needle. I'm pretty sure most people just go with a theme. The only time I moved away from that was on my NG++ for the last fight because I was too slow with my quadlegged MT and went full missile spam

I literally only know this way to dodge, I can't effectively dodge it going sideways even qhen I try to juke it out.

@@korewa_Matoya you are dodging to early

​@@korewa_Matoya it's literally easier to let gravity do the work for you lmao, good thing IBIS has no target leading tracker.

why "She" its a machine so "it"

@@GrayFolxy tell that to all those 18th century sailors or car dudes calling their rides She/her.

yep those jumps are very fun, 2:05 is quite cool also with the sideway jump dodges

These are not reverse joints anymore, it's since AC4 that the articulation of "jumpy" legs has the femour and tibia connect in a realistic spring-like structure with an additional long "bone" connecting it to the foot.

I mostly went with the mind beta.

I used spring chicken for almost my entire first playthrough

@@gormold4163 Same. Mind Beta was my Jam for one of my builds!

This type of boss where playin passively is easier for me

@@KABLAMMATSyup for some reason my heavyweight mech had an easier time dodging and landing shots than my lightweight build

She was the third hardest boss for me probably because I have the least interesting build around.

@@SowiniBushido i think thats because a heavy mech vs lightweight mech is all about perception, each mech when moving is enough to avoid incoming fire from enemies. movement is all relative.

nice movie dude

not sure how face hugging and wacking with a sword 6 times is either fun or stylish.

it does actually have a energy firearm output of 88, I only used it for the very high capacity (multiple quickboosts/dodges back to back, I use it for the melee cancel also, and has fast recharge so I don't get stuck with 0 where I can't dodge anymore) the energy firearm does help the shotgun damage itself, but from what I've seen the charged attack I mainly do gets registered as a melee attack, and doesn't get affected by that i mostly look at generators for their EN capacity and recharge, didn't care much for the firearm spec as this is mostly melee shotgun was for the stagger yep, you are right, if you look at the very start of the fight, the charged moonlight into pulse blade attacks isn't enough to stagger the boss, the charged shotgun results into staggering the boss there i tried to make it melee only but i think i used the shotgun damage by itself, not charged, 1-2 times to stagger the boss, it isn't too rare to end up with the boss stagger meter close to full and you end up needing the tiny help from the shotgun hit

@@kage_hunter Yup, makes sense to me, thank you for the detailed explanation, it is very instructive

​@@kage_hunterfellow Wuerger user here, the charge is affected by firearm spec. It's just that values below 100 have half the effectiveness of values above 100 so it isn't as noticeable I think, 94% damage on Wuerger charge is still *very* punchy when it lands lol

Thanks man, glad you are enjoying the game

I’ll never understand how someone can take an hour for this boss, half an hour maybe, but a full hour just seems like there’s a problem that isn’t just “boss hard”

@@dokutah7374Okay

​@@dokutah7374I spent 3 1/2 hours on it first time... but that was also towards the end of a 17 hour stream. And my brain was refusing to learn. Then I dodged left twice at the start instead of going under and felt REALLY stupid for the next 10 tries

@@hf117j understandable since it was during a stream, that’s an entirely different problem

except this isn't Ayre.

i did this boss for like 2 hours

​@@kage_hunterwhat shotgun is that? It looks sick

​@@yeltzingomez637looks like one of the laser shotguns

​@@yeltzingomez6374 days late, but Wuerger.

Frame parts are Kasuar legs, Basho arms, C-2000 core, and Alba head. Weapons are pulse blade, Moonlight, and Wueger laser shotgun. The generator is an internal combustion generator (orange booster trail), and booster is likely KIKAKU.

I'm playing with hard lock-on

yes you did it without a hardlock, i recognize this since i beat him without. funny you didn't notice it.@@kage_hunter

@@narkformost867 lol, that is funny, thanks for telling I never specced into the Manual Aiming in the OS upgrades so I thought how I was playing was with the normal lock-on/hard-lock on good to know, I suppose that is why I had to move my camera properly when the lock-on went away hence the soft-lock on i wonder if hard-lock on would have made it easier or harder

@@kage_hunter Hard-lock is better if you're aggressively assault boosting, but soft-lock with camera sensitivity to max will allow for quicker tracking if you know where Ibis is going to be. Won my first time with a soft-lock missile build but use hard-lock for builds that need the AB boost to close.

That's a solid strong one, makes quick work of this boss

Especially when Moonlight is not even available yet by the time of this battle. Have to make do with a Pile Bunker

I was about to be all "No you get it in this mission!" But then I remembered you have to *complete* the mission in order to actually start using it.@@Aereto

@@kage_hunter Can offline players copy AV builds too?

@@kamelakawmada4301 not too sure, i would assume no; did you manage to do it?

@@kage_hunter Yeah its not possible cuz i am unable to connect to the AC database🥲.

@@kamelakawmada4301 if you want i can manually write all the parts

I wouldn't say it has a pattern so much as it has limited types of attacks. And the patch basically told it "Stop spamming triple blades!". So now it can't spam as bad. But it'll still do what's effective. For example if you keep it at bay without being too aggressive it uses drones, then to get in close to attempt the triple blade, it does drone wings to low slash. Then if it uses triple blade up close, it immediately backs off to use one of the 4 more ranged attacks since it can't spam triple blade anymore. At this point I'm positive that it doesn't have a pattern, just limited moves. And it uses those moves in the order of whatever seems like a good idea at the time. So more than likely, it's the players that have a pattern

Literally, and maybe it's just me but this version of ibis doesn't seem as aggressive as the last time I fought her

​@user-lv8dn8gw9z if you run away from it, it will force it to close distance to you and that creates very easy openings to exploit.

The hardest thing about this boss is just getting a hit in, because it feels like it doesn't actually have that much health (in either phase), on my first playthrough I could consistently get to 2nd phase but I'd have no ammo or repair kits left

@@user-lv8dn8gw9z if you can observe it closely it has plenty of openings for you to unload your heavy hitting attacks it has input reading so if you for example tried to spam your gatling guns it'll try to dodge and punish you for it so meaning if you're not patient enough you're actually missing out on a lot of openings and easily punishable attacks

are you on pc/steam? id: 5TQRH3GN4U81

nah in a fresh run you get a lot of stuff to make this fight piss easy(shotguns, missile launchers, laser lace, pilebunker, miniguns or explosives)Ibis has a lot of openings but ppl have 0 to none patience even for the most basic things and blame the game/get angry

it is new game, from what I know nothing changes with ng+ or ng++ for bosses this is old before the nerf to the bosses though, the boss has less hp and deals less damage with certain attacks now

@@kage_hunter i beat cel 240 before nerf, and after nerf on ng plus seemed harder for me idk

​@@ninecloudsuphow much did you change your build?

@@user-lv8dn8gw9z felt as if i was more upgraded and better than my previous build. Most missions were low diff, and i only had to change weapons not body parts for ng++

I have it in one of the comment chains that is big, someone else also asked before

nope, is unlocked after

@@kage_hunter Are you sure? Im like 90% sure that you can equip something you found in a chest once youve found it, and the moonlight sword is this stage, so if you found it and then died on CEL then went to go switch parts in the death menu pretty sure you would be solid.

from what I remember you have to buy it from the shop after@@yungoldman2823

@@kage_hunter You don't gotta, you do get it on that exact mission BUT you have to beat CEL 240 to actually use it

​@@yungoldman2823found in a chest right before the boss fight, but you have to actually finish the mission before you get the item

right arm: Laser Shotgun left arm: pulseblade and moonlight head: EL-PH-OO ALBA core: CC-2000 ORBITER arms: AA-J 123 BASHO legs: KASUAR/42Z booster: KIKAKU fcs: FC-008 TALBOT generator: DF-GN-08 SAN-TAI

It's also because you're not just restricted to SWORD

except you have ng+ and ng++ content and endings.

@@Ghorda9 If you beat CEL once you can do it again but man I woulda liked to have it on NG for that fight. Woulda been neat to equip new weapons on the fly but that's DxM's gimmick not AC's.

Bro who tf is using moonlight as a crutch Now if you said zimmermans or the iceworm needle gun I'd agree but this is the first video I've seen of someone using moonlight for ibis

Crutchlight? Moonlight is literally the weakest fucking melee weapon in the game bro get over yourself
