I love that they kept that signature “MAIN SYSTEM: ENGAGING COMBAT MODE” stuff for this game.

The sound design in this game is so well done like damn they went so hard and I appreciate it

I think what interests me the most in this fight is that it’s raining. In all the other shots of this game there’s is t a whole lot of rain making the planet feel desolate, but when the music kicked in and whoever Ayre is started talking it brought a sense of calm and most importantly Hope

The soundtrack and the spectacle of this fight is 🔥

That song is a certified Armored Core classic in the making I can feel it.

It's like the final boss of Verdict Day 10 years ago, except it's actually well designed and can be fought with more than one build this time around. 💀💀💀 Amazing, Armored Core truly is back and is better than ever now!

Something I love about Armored Core and I suppose From games in general, but particularly AC, is that there's this sort of air of serenity, even in the most tense and fast-paced encounters. That music especially is fantastic. I'd love it if FreQuency make a return too with some banger vocal tracks.

I love this theme so damn much. And this fight .... We are back Ravens

Balteus is a very fitting name. The name means belt, which he is wearing many of. It was also a rank in rome for a member of the clergy

It's cool to see a haevyweight biped. We've been seeing lots of light-med reverse joints but this also looks sick in its own way

Biblically accurate AC

I am having such a hard time with this guy, not gonna lie. I can't do nearly enough damage, and I can't dodge the missiles at all. It's a completely different fight from the rest of the fights before this one.

The "enemy system down,its silent"+the very last long note of the soundtrack sound oddly soothing

This should get some awards

God. God damn. God DAMN. Man I didn't expect to cry over what was going to be just another clip of the final boss of chp1, but the sounds. The sound design, the MUSIC THE FUCKING MUSIC, every hit, every shot, the voice lines from your onboard a.i UUUUGH it's all so incredible. And after so many years. Welcome back Ravens.

Considering a quad legged AC in the first trailer had that same shield Balteus had, I'm hoping we can get it at some point.

I heard you like *bullet hell.*

0:27 Did anyone else notice the "eyes" on the AC light up when the jaming started?

Finally beat this guy last night using the bazooka and linear rifle. My solution was to lock him up in ACS stagger as much as possible after taking out the shield and prevent him from spamming, especially that ridiculous homing warhead and fire carpet bomb. I also use the assault armor expansion when his shield was down to interrupt his flame sword attack. Just my two cents. I never thought to use the plasma rifle that causes a secondary explosion. Good stuff though!

Im excited to learn more about this Ayre chick, shes probably the one who will break us away from Waltuh.

I want to show this clip to everyone who claimed that this game was going to be a Dark Souls clone

This is just the first main boss lol LETS FUCKING GOOOO

I actually had so much trouble with this fight just now. I didn't realize for a while that there were better weapons to break shields. Even then I felt like all my damage was just slowly widdling away. Good fight.

This is the final boss of the tutorial chapter… ohohohohoho~

Holy bullet hell

Wait your telling me this is only the final boss of the first chapter 💀

sfx: |----^----| bgm: |--------^|

I want that song

Ill be honest i was not excited for this game. But now it the only thing I can think Off sometimes Lmao. The sound design is absolutely perfect the way the metal sliding on the ground, the beeping when your shoulder missiles are ready the explosion all top notch. And don’t even get me started with the music just incredible Even the trailers. Visually looks amazing too especially this boss the lighting is insane. I don’t pre order games since red Dead 2 but after Elden ring I think from soft won’t disappoint

Was that Laura Bailey's voice? Wynne D. Fanchon?

shame my build just isnt viable at all for balteus huh

This Build was very helpful. Just gotta get extra cash for the shop parts. Thank you!

rookies the lot of you! cant wait to get my hands on this!!!!

This looks fun and hard lol

You want missiles? We got horizontal missiles we got vertical missiles hell we got missiles not even I know about!

This was the boss fight that made me switch from a distant, defensive playstyle to an aggressive, in-your-face style. I felt like a hornet on crack but by god if it didn't make me feel like the most badass motherfucker around.

My computer crashed when he did his sworm missile, fire sword the first time.

you doged the rockets with an dash/melee combo^^ that was nice and it works XD

This was a tough fight, those flamethrowers are no joke. Took me way too many tries but it felt great to finally beat him.

I’m struggling so much with this boss what’s the equipment ur using for it

How many aliens you have slain to win that Gantz motor?

Soundtrack definitely sounds like Kota Hoshino but more grander

Ayre in this video sounds different from other videos I've heard her/it in. Option to change operator voice sounds like in ACV?

"Raven"? Ravens are back??? That's awesome!

Thanks to this video, I was able to beat balteus so thanks for that

I went back to him as a replay eventually, with nothing but missiles. I cant believe he kicked my ass on the first play through. Unless he was toned down since my last run in. This really was an easy fight

Dante's weapon

did any ones else get Cuphead Dr. Kahl's Robot vibes from this, both sit inside their bigger robot and fly around the map while completly cluttering the screen.

Bro why is yours so much less aggressive than mine😭

*I defeated the Boss's AI (10 Minutes ago), he doesn't like being harassed all the time, I immediately launched a direct Attack with my Shotgun and Flashgun, always trying to stay ABOVE HIM and get as close to him as possible, the Fight was over after about 1 Minute (After 30+ previous Attempts with dozens of other weapons), I had something similar with a Boss before, all Weapons failed and a small but nice Weapon brought victory, so the Makers of the Game are right in saying, the Difficulty is determined by your Loadout ;)* *If you have Problems with this Boss (In short): Go (instant) in close Range, go above him, take Weapons that make best damage at close Range (or splash Damage), and do attack all the time and let him not 1 Second for a Breath, push, push, push, because the AI is programmed for a long range Fight !!* *As helper Weapons, I used Rockets that can attack from above, 1 Normal Rockets and 1 with Area-Flash-Attack !!* *My Mecha was a Type with Spider-Legs and a Strong-Build with the best Parts I could get at this Point, with 13150 AP (Hitpoints) !!* *I've never been happier defeating a boss than this one !!* *By the way, after the fight I lost about 1 kg, because I was sweating so much ;)* *Hamburg is greeting !!*

How everyone’s hearin the music of the boss I can’t cause all the damn racket the boss and game is doing

Plasma rifle eats away at his shield fairly quickly it took me a while too to kill it

I'm gonna git gud instead of using repair kits It's the Armored Core way

well played bro.

this boss is visually impressive but it’s one of the least enjoyable bosses fromsoft has ever made

As a fan of the Armored Core series, I have been eagerly awaiting the release of the Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon However, I wanted to bring to your attention a concern regarding the thumbnail and subject of your video. While I understand that you have access to the preview version, it's important to remember that you have signed a non-disclosure agreement. As fellow fans who share the same passion, we must be respectful of others who are also eagerly waiting for the game's official release without encountering any spoilers. I couldn't help but notice that your video's thumbnail reveals the appearance of what seems to be a significant boss, and the subject text even mentions it as the "1st final boss." This information, although intriguing for some, could potentially ruin the experience for those who haven't even watched any preview playthrough footage. So, I kindly request you to consider changing the thumbnail and subject text to avoid spoiling such critical information for your viewers, including fellow Armored Core fans like myself. We must prioritize preserving the excitement for those who are eagerly anticipating the game's release by refraining from sharing significant spoilers that could potentially diminish their experience. Thank you for understanding and for being considerate of your audience's expectations.

Unfortunately, Repair Systems means that it can make the fight easier than it's predecessor.. It seems that max 1 repair kit is the right number. I wish that the game has no difficulty toggle as well.

I really don't like this boss.

cant beat this mfka im finna uninstall ts ngl😊

Just straight up lying on the title. Not the first mission boss, this is the boss of Mission 11. My source is the Vaati Vidya video.

Thank you fromsoft I wasn’t able to afford a ps4 or a ps5 thank you for still making ps3 games for brokies like me 😂
