I will keep saying, there’s a difference between making something more challenging vs. making something harder just to SAY that it’s harder

I can't stress enough how much of a godsend this was.

one weird thing i figured out is that after you fail a parry with wyvern and you're awkardly waiting for wyvern to move again you can actually "skip" that waiting by dodging. It looks as if sonic teleports to the end of the animation and then wyvern starts moving again, it helped me save some time after failing parrys

The second phase in Wyvern is downright unfair

Oh yeah, uh, there’s one other major difference between the other difficulties and Extreme Mode. You die to ANYTHING. Giganto spins around and a laser touches you? Dead. You miss the parry window for one of Wyvern’s missiles? Dead. You were slightly early trying to parry Knight’s shield? Dead. I have yet to beat it and I’ve been playing it for 29 hours… Also, super helpful tips for Wyvern and Knight: For Wyvern, if you hold either dodge button, like L or R, you’ll be completely invincible during Wyvern’s fight. Now, it’s not foolproof because you still have to parry, but as long as you mess up by parrying late and not early, you’ll survive, but make sure to quickly repress and hold one of the dodge buttons to regain invincibility. As for Knight, there’s a little patch of gray land kind of to the left of where you spawn. If you can make it over there, the initial spikes he makes when he spins around won’t hit you. (It should be easy to tell where it is because it’s a different color gray than the rest of the area. It kind of looks like the normal terrain of Chaos Island.) Well, I sure hope I can beat this someday, lol. I don’t want to 100% a normal file to play the fight on Easy Mode instead because I’ve spent too much time trying to beat it on Extreme Mode already, lol.

I really like Giganto under these conditions would have been more than enough training for the final boss, but I AM glad that we can do a Titan only boss rush now

Thank you! The knight tip was what I needed to break through it all!

One thing i wanted to add. A more "elegant" way to avoid the laser is to hold parry and left at the same time RIGHT as Giganto fires the laser in the cutscene.

Thanks to your guide, hopefully near the end of my run on “Extreme” will be easier! Very helpful 👊🏻

Alrght. I atually learned something from this. I figured out the punch stomp thing on my own, but the tips on Giganto to give myself more time is DEFINITELY gonna be a godsend. Wyvern has been trolling me a long time. Thanks for the tips on it♥

I've been stuck for days and your guide finally helped me beat the trial THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

If you set the difficulty to “Easy Mode” it resets the parry timing back to 4-5 seconds. Just completed the mission with this method. Thank you for the tips in this video. They really help maximize the time, and skip certain cutscenes, in order to finish the mission.

Dude, I can not stress enough... THANK. YOU. Your tips helped me get past this trial with about 50 rings left. (I beaten the Wyvern trial with 260 rings left using your methods, though could be because I was playing on a lower difficulty)

The quick cyloop and stomp helped me so much, I could never think of it by myself. I finally beat this with 70 rings left, I basically struggled a lot with the Knight when he was putting the spikes on the ground. The parrying frames you gave helped me a ton with the Wyvern. Thank you so much.

Bro, thank you so much for this guide!! Been trying to beat this for over a week now and your video made it to where I beat it first try!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! You earned a subscriber well deserved 😭💖🙏🏻 You helped me so much I don’t know how I would have done it without this video!! I ended the trial with 100 rings in normal and it will be my greatest accomplishement, so again thank you so so much!! 😭💙💙

Wow great video with great tips. Cant wait to try tomorrow to beat the trial on hard mode with your video to help.

I'm not very good at videogames but grew up playing the old sonics as a kid on genesis and dreamcast so my boyfriend bought me this for my birthday and its been a huge struggle for me and I literally could not have done this without you. Thank you so much 😭 it still took me probably 30 plus tries but I finally beat it tonight! Scared for what comes next but I'm so glad to be through this section. Thank you again for making this video! You're awesome :)

THANK YOU for this really, this vid has helped me so much

Thank you so much. I was only playing this mission on easy mode, but this helped immensely.

You are the best, you saved my playthrough, I am subscribing

seriously man great video! I was struggling so hard lol

The most frustrating part of this isn't having to start over, it's sitting through the unskippable cutscenes over and over and over. It's not really hard as it is getting the reflexes done. Videos like these really do help. Thanks for slowing down the moments key to parry. P.S I hate Giganto's lazers. Defeated him but I got hit by a Lazer before I was able to land the final blow.

Dude! If it wasn’t for your guide for this and the end bossfight, I wouldn’t be able to beat this! Thank you🎉

Finally did it on hard mode. Thank you so much!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU I HAVE BEEN LIKE 3 DAYS PLAYING THIS PART AND FINALLY I BEAT IT LIKE 2 TRY WITH THIS TUTORIAL THAAAAANNS

Thanks bro your advice help further understand how to perfect perry wyvern

I've unironically love this challange and love replaying this trial, amazing video/guide

Thank you! I've finally been able to do it since the dlc dropped on hard mode.

thanks so much for this guide.....saved my life. this fight is insane. I won the last fight RIGHT in time, I had like 3 rings left ...I was so lucky that the razor shield thing lined up just perfect with the knight else I had to redo all of this AGAIN

Hey thanks for this guide! I honestly wouldn't have figured it out without your help! One small tip I would add is for the knight though! At the beginning when you're regular sonic, stay inside the knight's legs to avoid his spikes more easily. 2 times, his spikes eliminated all of my rings and they were extra heart breaking as I had over 200 rings both times. Getting through Wyvern with over 200 is a miracle for me. And yes I was playing on hard mode 😢

Thank you so much I finally beat Knight after so many try’s thank

AMAZING. I followed the guide as I pushed the bosses and I first tried it. However, I do recommend a camera that overlooks the controller as the game is being played, as it can help define when we should parry to help skip things like giganto's lazer, or Knight's shield section. But anyways...THANK YOU!

I beat this trial on hard before this video came out, it was a real struggle as I couldn’t pass Wyvern, I grinded it for some days, I beat this trial first try after I passed Wyvern, your strats are great btw, I’ll try to use them when try to do this trial again

Really awsome guide that helped me allot

Took me no time to beat these but it did took me a couple of tries thank you. 😊😊😊😊😊

Thank you for this! I just beat the trial!

Thank you. This challenge was miserable but you helped me beat it sfter horus of trying.

8:35 This timing seems about right. I was just able to parry this twice at about this time. Granted, I was on normal. Anyway, wouldn't have been able to get through this without your guide. Many thanks.

THANK YOU SO MUCH I STRUGGLED VERY HARD THANK YOU

This is an amazing guide! Thank you! Just had a run for the ages, and finished the trial with 180 rings left over

3:09 I didn't even know that you can dodge this move, also just spending half cyloop meter for the first phase of Wyvern is enough, WOW!. Pretty usefull your guide. :D

OH MY GOD, THANK YOU SOO MUCH, this trial was so impossibly difficult!

thank you so much I can finally beat the DLC!

Instead of using punch and stomp you just need to use x/cross slash the damage to the titans while cylooped will be x-treme. Btw fantastic vid and your Wyvern parry tips were really helpful. One last thing during Wyvern's first attack there is a audio cue perry near the end of it and you should be good!

You’re a lifesaver. Subbed.

Dude...THANK! YOU!

Thank you. This helped immensely. Also did not know the cyclopp infinity symbol gave infinite boost for a time. Id occasionally have infinite boost and wonder why.

May the lord bless you, I finally did it thanks to you. Thank you!

Thanks this has helped me so much

Thank you so much for making this. I was struggeling with this so much in Normal because you are basically forced to do these strats to even beat them in time. And the the perfect parry which you never have done before is so stupid. If the parry system would have been like the perfect parry from the start then this would not have been so much of an issue but jesus. It took me this long since the update is out to finally beat it on normal and I only barely beat it in time, I had like 20 rings left for deafeting knight because I didnt quite understand how to skip the shield riding part.

Thank you, I starting feel the lag on this trail I really want to finish the story but not compromising putting it on easy. So far I been dodge spoilers crazy to enjoy the win.

Dude thank you so much, IVE BEEN PULLING MY HAIR OUT. YOU SAVE ME SO MANY HOURS!!!

It took me a solid month of trying to defeat this. It was the third part I was stuck on. The dodging around the shield was the ticket to a win. Thank you, I'm never going to fight this challenge again now that its completed.

Tysm for this guide I just beat it on 7 rings left

Thanks for this guide, I really wouldn't have been able to do this without it. By the end when I defeated Knight, I had no rings left and thought I was done, but I barely won by the skin of my teeth thanks to your guide.

They finally gave us what we wanted... The real BOSS RUSH

THANK YOU SO MUCH

I am struggling QUITE A LOT with this damn challenge... But I would be suffering a lot more if it weren't for this guide, seriulsy thanks a lot!

Thanks man I finally beat this using your stats I beat it in 2 tries

I was having a really hard time with this trail on hard mode, cause of the perfect parry. But the more I got use to it, it really fun to do. 😁

The Wyvern also has a laser after the first qte, but you can avoid it by spamming the parry/dodge buttons just like Giganto. While the Wyvern is absolute HELL, I find the key to beating it is to be very patient. The missiles can also glitch out and hit you even after you parry one, so you have to make sure you hold the parry button once it’s hit to try to avoid that. I managed to clear Wyvern with over 200 rings left, so thank you so much for the strat!

You're never gonna get enough credit for this. Literally got it my first try after watching this following this guide. Thanks a ton chief

Got done with Another Story and I'm only now learning you've been able to aim where the shield flies back at Knight. Still a neat tip to learn instead of relying on RNG.

Thanks to this video i was able to master perfect parry

I would just constantly use the pause screen when trying to parry against Wyvern.

Gods blessing, imma use this on my extreme save file

I DID IT! YOUR ADVICE IS GOAT!

Pro-tip: In the first phase of Knight when he's going in circles, use Sonic Boom on him when he passes by you. You will automatically follow him with the Sonic Boom as he's spinning around and take a good chunk of his damage.

THANK YOU SO MUCH I COMPLETED IT ❤❤❤❤❤

There's a saying that my brother uses, which is fitting here: You're a saint and a scholar. I'd been absolutely caveman-ing the Giganto boss fight (leaving me with 327 rings at most), and your tips saved me WAY more rings. The Wyvern fight is my biggest hurdle, but I feel more prepared for it now, so biggest thanks to your video. I think the worst thing about Master King Koco's trial in conjuncture with Sonic Frontiers' gameplay style isn't just the incompatibility, but also the sheer state of the game. I've had times where using the chains on Wyvern suddenly places me outside of the range of attacking, the missiles that look like they're coming right at you will completely clip through you while a second one you weren't keeping your eyes on suddenly hits, or sometimes the missiles will hit the environment and not be aimed towards you at all. All this wastes your ring supply. It's not even good gameplay, it's like trying to play hockey with a tree branch. I've played some Platinum games, namely the Bayonetta series and Astral Chain, and I really haven't appreciated how forgiving and smooth the gameplay functions of those two franchises were until now.

Jesus Christ dude I can't with wyvern phase 2 and this dudes goddamn crazy ass speedy claw strikes seriously attempting to perfect parry all of that shit is just so hard

Spamming the dodge/parry keys separately while holding a direction (left or right) will usually result in a clean dodge animation. Also, if you charge your cyloop fast enough, you can go for the double cyloop immediately. If his health isn't down much, he'll stay on the ground for awhile and let you beat him up while still dealing double damage from the cyloop.

Thank You ❤❤

I beat it first try after watching this. This video is honestly a godsend

I didn’t even know you could cyloop the bosses! That would’ve helped with the Battle Rush a while back lmao. All the same, thanks for the video! I beat the trial a few minutes ago, but I’d definitely still be stuck without it.

Thank you, you saved me the insanity of failing the challenge for hours.

I usually just do Sonic Boom to build up the quick meter. Still works well with the advice here. I also prefer taking out the first half of Wyvern with Sonic Boom after the cyloop. I think with this I’ve become much more consistent at Wyvern, I can parry the missiles almost every time, and Giganto goes down way faster than before. Appreciate the help. Just need a bit more consistency on Wyvern so I can get to knight. Only gotten that far once. Then got trapped in the shield-flying segments till I lost. Really wish they cut out the buildup scenes or something. The fact that it takes so long just to get back to try again is dreadful. Surely if they can eliminate rings they can get rid of cutscenes?

This guide is so incredible that it took me 4 tries to get past Wyvern, and the first time I did I also beat Knight!!! I could kiss you on the mouth rn!!

All of these strategies helped me beat it on normal! The Wyvern timing was ridiculous on hard, and easy (especially with the patch) felt too cheap and free. The normal fight still was very hard and took me hours.

i am so grateful for ou GOD bless!

Thaaaank you. Finally made it through easy mode😅😅😅

Hard mode is really difficult so i think it's better if you battle the titans in easy mode👍💯

You're a godsend. I love you

Knight was my favorite boss...now...I HATE it...I've been stuck there for days....even the Wyvern is super easy for me to beat at this point (after watching this video ofc)....I guess I have to practice . But seriously this video is a light in the dsrk for many of us

I watched this video not expecting much. But damn, I ended up learning manual combos I didn't realise existed; time to give the old Punch+Stomp a go, maybe I can save enough time for the Knight (I originally was down to 110-160 after wyvern, 280 going in to wyvern).

the crazy part here is I always thought he hit you with the tail, not the claw lol

One thing you didn't mention, apparently the Wyvern has a breath Attack. It didn't ruin my run, but I was taken aback by the attack, unless I was confused by the visual cluster that it creates

omg Ty so much

If you play frontiers on the switch. So for switch players I recommend playing the trial in handheld mode. The game is alot smoother that way so it's a little easier to see the parry windows.

After a lot of attempts, I made it to Knight (second time, first time the spikes hit me forcing me to restart) and for some reason he never tried to block with his shield, but the quick cyloop didn't work either (tried 3 times in a row, all 3 failing to take effect) So I just punch stomp combo him and finally finished the trial

Told myself, I started on hard mode and I was sticking through it, took me 4 hours straight.

my goodness thank you, doing this on extreme is a nightmare

06:27 all this time I kept watching the tail, he just goes so fast i never saw the claws, always thought it was a tail swipe

Thanks to this video Im now able to defeat wyvern on hard. But I have a problem with Knight because he doesn't want to pull out the shield at the begining of the fight. He just continue to spin around and uses his sword attack that you have to parry. I don't know if im doing something wrong or if it's random and im just unlucky.

something that really hepled me with wyvern, it parrying him is tricky, then spam pause. you can find what frame to parry on, and go on from there.

Here are some extra inputs on the fight: 1. You don't have to wait for Giganto's laser in the 2nd phase. Just dash to Giganto, do a homing attack and then a quick cyloop. From then, you can continue as you demonstrated. My best attempt on Giganto is with 378 rings left because I save time from the laser animation. 2. Wyvern is definitely hard, but I wouldn't say he's jank. His claws DO have a consistent frame they hit you, and you CAN consistently parry it. It's hard for sure, but it's not an unfair/untelegraphed fight. 3. After quick cylooping Knight, when he's trapped, I recommend starting with Sonic Boom instead of the stomp attack. It fills the quick cyloop meter much faster. When the quick cyloop meter is filled, THEN you can use whichever other attack you want. It's beneficial because, in the 2nd phase, you want to quick cyloop him as fast as possible to save rings.

How do you build up the quick Cyloop meter so quickly? I finally got to the Knight but I just couldn't fill up the Cyloop meter, and I certainly didn't have it filled at the start when you did. I'd hit him a bit and he'd drift away from me again.

I managed to get past Giganto, but Wyvern? WHEN'S THE FRAME???

You Can actually skip the laser from giganto, after the cutscene, boost and use the quick Cyloop, giganto will be sent into the air skipping the laser.
