“Once you’ve figured out his patterns” what patterns 😭😭 I’m joking but omg it feels like he moves twice as quick for me when comparing my gameplay to those on YT

This is how i beat him, use the 2nd laser sword and bubble gun and spam the biggest rockets you can. I used the 8x vertical rockets on both shoulders. Use armour you are comfortable with but make sure to use jumpy legs and booster for better forward charge thrust. The whole fight is constantly shooting his bubble and then still constantly shooting to keep him staggerd enough to where he doesnt have time to bubble again. A good tactic is to mega boost to his face and use your sword. Whenever you see a red square or a error noise, spam dodge left to dodge his high impact bazooka, you can pretty much tank all the rest of his damage when you are on top of his head because he never uses his multi shotgun rocket when you are on top of him. Keep racing after him rocket spam when available and using that sword on every cooldown and just keep on his head. At 50% he does a emp pulse so run away. Dodge backwards like 2 times from fire sword and immediately boost back into his face and repeat. Its not a noob proof strategy as you still need to dodge his attacks but with enough experience. This boss is kinda like owl boss from sekiro where its all about high pressure and dodging two specific attacks. I hope this helps Charge sword attack does 2 big range swings so you can even catch him when he tries to run away. As soon as you heard the error

The generator is wrong, you want VP-20S. The listed one leaves you with an en shortfall. You also get more capacity with that one, you can also swap to FCS-G1/P01 for maximum missile, close, and mid range tracking, which is the zone your aiming for this fight.

With the number of rockets he puts out, they really need to decrease the distance they can stay locked on and how tight they can turn. Every time I get close enough to melee, he busts out a big cluster of rockets in my face, gets me with the single heavy ACS damage rocket, gets me point blank with the shotty, or gets me with every round of a full burst from his minigun. I've played every FromSoft game since Dark Souls 1, and this has the hardest bosses besides Isshin and Geniichiro

Just beat him using dual bubble guns to melt his shield and dual laser cannons for the shoulders for damage. Worked great. You just really have to learn how to dodge his nonsense and it’s basically a DPS race

Thanks for the guide !! Had a laser canon and missiles on shoulders , pulse blade and bubble gun on arms .. played aggressive and beat in 4th try.. great fight

Wow, I was sleeping on using the blade, absolute game changer on this boss. Nice advice

I actually died more in that coral room with the enemy ac and invisible snipers a few missions before this one.

I dont know how you guys are getting passed this thing. I am having an absolute hell of a time. Way harder than it should be.

❤ this build worked like a dream you are the man and I greatly appreciate it I been struggling with that asshole for 3 hours

You are a godsend sir. I tries your build and beat him after I tried other build and got slaughtered constantly. Thank you so much for helping the AC newbie beat his own personal paralysis demon.

cheers mate, I now feel I actually have a chance with this geeza! 😝👍

Thank you for this build idea! Beat Balteus.

I did great using the satellite looking weapon that does pulse damage and pulse missiles to take down his shields. After that it was one of the 8 rack blast damage missiles and of course the plasma blade

I went double bubble and just cheesed the hell out of him with bubbles. I tried your way, but I would die when he was around 25% health, and whiff occasionally on the melee. If you dual wield the bubble gun then you really don't have to keep track of his phases, just his AOE and keep mid range, which is safe enough

Been running basically this build but with dual shot guns. They hardly do damage to his shield, so tomorrow when my sanity has returned I will give it a shot with the bill double bubble guns 💪🏼

The flamethrower moves are the most annoying to deal with in my opinion cuz of the ridiculous amount of dmg they do...

It works, you just have to have a run where he doesn't constantly run. Or you will run out of ammo with the bubble blower.

Was struggling so hard took a break came to yt and found this vid first tried it with this setup😭 fast and nimble ftw

thx, I like how I was using those shoulder weapons but went for tri grande launcher with the fist gun cause it did do a lot of staggering but then ended up using the shoulder weapons that I used from the start, quicker mech, spinning blade when you hold it to do the charge attack and the grenade launcher then on the second phase I ended up glued to the dude and finally beat him by being aggressive

Nice strategy

I can get this boss to half health maybe. I did not buy those shield-breaker weapons yet, unfortunately. Yet I'll have to start the mission over if I give up.

This game is alot less restrictive than people say. Yeah it's highly reccomended to change your build according to the boss but even if a boss like this has a set way to fight them you can still do it entirely different. Your guide was massively helpful but i sadly haven't bought the plasma gun yet so what i did is made a close quarters ac like u said but used the smg and shotgun. Bruh i aced that boss oddly quick

got it first attempt with a bootleg version, thanks

This boss caused me to start drinking lol

Im 3 hours stuck already, my main problem is keeping him on my sights, even locked he just moves so fst

Tf am I supposed to do if it has a en shortfall

I started using kinetic weapons, but the plasma guns and rockets work way better. I think I just need to figure out a way to not run out of bubble gun ammo halfway through the fight and I can do it.

I don’t have the Alluva booster unlocked?? What do I do now??

More difficult fights? Took me 4+ days to beat previous boss, Sulla (?). And that class setup, I’m not sure I’m even close to having enough money to get all those weapons and scared to go back to garage bc I *think* I’ll have to fight Sulla again.

Time for some Amuro bullying. Lots and lots of Amuro bullying.

Hey I promise, you guys, stick to him. Whatever your style of play is, don’t give Balteus any breathing room. Dodge attacks, watch your boosters, but he does bleed which means you can beat him! Keep at it. I just overcame the Balteus wall myself and the rewards are worth it! Stay strong pilots ( I think that’s what the AC drivers are called? Lol)

This is what I did put the game away and stop playing it. I feel much better now.

Thanks guys reading this i just beat him wow dont give up

Honestly I like this boss. All but for the cannon shot. It’s easy to dodge. But it comes out so quick if your not pay attention and dishes out mad damage (on lighter builds)

Tryed this build as well as others an all have failed..

1:54 how did u get extra health pack? 😳 Mod?

This boss battle is way out of control. Yes I can understand why a lot of people are complaining about the Balteus. Understand if you want a good difficulty boss battle. But Balteus is way out of control especially for the first chapter. Software need to update this game to make the the boss fight fair.

This build has a shortfall or a overburden idk what I’m doing wrong

I beat him after 2 hours of trying & then found out the game has a save glitch the next day so I’m back at the start of the game & cba.

Why are the boosters you’re using orange but the ones you list blue?

Thank You though anyway…..🙏🏻

Watch in 0.75x speed

Why not visibly show the damn build instead of listing a bunch of highly technical fictional machine parts for us to find meticulously…… this video: “Dodge his attacks and hit him back until he dies… this is the build we used vsst056, DariusG-8, Hughmongus Cock-Cannon1985, shibbey dibble BlahBlah-768”

Bruh how to beat second balteus...

Double single shot shotguns and 2 songbirds jumpy legs and fast energy recharge and your untouchable

This is pretty easy tbh but I faced him when I played the whole campaign twice

Beat him 4th try!

Basically, use bubble gun ;)

I think you are wrong, this is a Touhou Boss

Nothing i do works. I give up

Nothing says "good game design" like forcing your players to make cheese builds to defeat a boss. This game fucking sucks and fromsoft lost the plot.

This game has amazing reviews, half the player count, and boss (just this one in this 15hr campaign) that just require knowledge not skill. Before that it's piss easy. Did Russians get involved in this game's PR campaign?

None of these bosses are even that hard
