I love when he pushes you back in third phase and while you’re still flying sends some purple homing projectiles that are impossible to avoid 😍😍

This boss fight was so stressful yet challenging. Overall the game is just awesome

Wasn't going into this fight blind with a ton of integrity, maxed out proficiency, and full of artifacts. Had to watch your video, and beat him first try. Thanks so much!

I DID IT FINALLY! 2 weeks and tons of prep but I kicked nemesis ass with a level 10 hand gun ! Dam this is satisfying I haven’t had a game this fun since Atari came out in the old days

Just reached the 4th biome and im happy that if i die i won't go back 3 biomes!!

Good guide, thank you! I managed to beat this boss on the first try thanks to a parasite that healed me when at critical health. Crazy fight!

The way Nemesis sits itself in front of you in phase one. I was like You can't be Serious. It really felt like a Final Boss.

Thank you! I got to the boss and had 80% health and your video helped me beat him on my first try. I really didn’t wanna comb through the Citadel again

I just got Nemesis down to around 15% health on the last health bar but it's so hard to shoot when all I'm trying to do is evade/jump between platforms! The first two waves were alright, but damn, the last "form" of Nemesis really got me. Seven artefacts, great consumables... I'll go again tomorrow. Thanks for the upload.

One of the best boss fights I’ve had in a while. So unique

I beat him my first try thanks to your guide I knew what to expect! For me phrike, the first boss, was the hardest boss so far! I went through as many rooms and areas as I could and got my weapons proficiency all the way to max 15, got my health to 250, and had okay parasites and bad consumables. But I did it with the carbine, no alt fire lvl 15 pretty solid.

Thanks so much, you helped me beat him on the first try. I was stuck on Biome 3 for a long time and didnt want to risk losing to him after about four hours ha ha. I barely beat him before I died.

I beat Nemesis first try. But he’s definitely the most visually stunning boss period. The scale, particle galore, beam frenzy, platform jumping among the vastness and of course the sound make it an exquisite choreography to behold!

These guides are great and top tier. Helped me with Ixion few hours ago. The citadel stage is so damn long lol. But I love the game lots of fun keeps you on the toes. Hopefully to best nemesis in a bit 😅

Damn I was so close. But didn't have an astronaut or something and wasn't fully prepared. Tbh I just wanted to reach this boss and almost killed him. I'll be back tomorrow. Great video man!

Just beat it on an amazing run that took about 3 hours through all three biomes. I had the carbine leveled up to 15. I beat it on the first try using your guide it was extremely helpful. Thanks

I fought this boss for the first time last night and my gun (lvl 11 Hollowseeker) wasn't nearly strong enough. I didn't make it past phase 1 because the boss did all sorts of weird attacks. I definitely recommend using a different type of weapon.

great video! my phase 2 was slightly different with red rings spreading out but your video helped me a lot in the other phases!

Thanks man, that explanation was excellent. Got it on my first try :) I got real lucky with a level 15 launcher though, it had like 5/6 extra damage bars combined with swarm. No traits though. Some advice for others: I paused inbetween each phase to check the video and that really helped, plus it gives you some time to breathe.

Just beat it first try, thanks for the video! Lvl 14 carbine with critical hit btw

Just wanted to thank you for this guide, i took him down on 1st try, and i am a very BAD player in this game, a pure casual who has issues with gamepad in general. For those who struggle let me say this. It took me 1 week to kill 1st boss, it took me 16 attempts to kill 2nd boss and i didnt even think i would get to 3rd boss. But this game is so rng that you cant give up, all it takes is 1 solid run and a little bit of luck, i got to this boss and had no items, just a lot of integrity and lvl 10 lobber weapon, the one with poision damage over time, i basically killed him in 3rd phase before i even pushed me back, the weapon is amazing for this!

And then there’s me who gets pushed away 4 times during the third phase, I’ll have another go tomorrow 😩

Your guides are super well done. This definitely helped me clear it on the first try. Thank you so much!

Thank you, you give a concise, very helpful guide. The red dot - who knew it was the red dot? I shot at everything else the first and only time I got there and it was all such a waste and I died having done nothing - nothing! - to the enemy. This guide will change that. Again, thank you so much for this!

Wow thanks for the tips. I beat him on the 2nd try with 2% health as I was falling lmao. I used the level 15 Rotgland Lobber.

Thanks! This helped me. I tried the Hollow first, and then beat her with the grenade launcher.

Thanks for the video... definitely helped! Another thing that helped me was turning sound down for fight and concentrating on visual cues....amazing game!

Man I was stuck on this boss for awhile now. Thanks for the walkthrough. Just kicked his ass 🤙🏽

These tutorials are epic good. Beth helpful. And explained in a calm way which translates into everyone’s runs at home. Nice

Spent an hour and a half 100 percenting stage 1 and 2 areas. Got max health. Great weapon profesciency and strong ass rotgland lobber (which I think is the best gun in the game). Hella healables and perks/resources. Did this boss on my first try with ease first time fighting him. Took like 3 minutes. No struggle whatsoever. Thanks for the guide

This fight was 100% in my top 5 boss fights of all time. After I beat him i was shaking and absolutely speechless.

After finally getting to the boss again by getting lucky and not having to fight a hundred drones in one room, I found that the Rotgland Lobber was OP on Phase 3. I went back and watched this video to make sure, but it was a while before your shots started doing damage. The Rotgland Lobber started doing damage immediately. I'm not that good with the weapon at this point, so phase 1 and 2 were probably a little harder for me than they would have been with another weapon, but man that weapon is a beast on Phase 3! Thanks again for your awesome tutorials. After beating this guy, I got to the Biome 4 boss without much trouble, but I had to stop for the night. Looking forward to the rest of the game!

Thanks for the guide. Quick and informative

Lvl 15 carbine an 265% health trackerstorm alt with a refresh consumable and i can happily say i beat a returnal boss first try! Phrike was the hardest took me like 15 tries maybe more an the 2nd boss i was pushin 10 attempts b4 i got him but this guy got the business in our first encounter thx to plenty of life an powerful gun!

second half of the game is so much easier than the first half LMFAO

Awesome that you comment and explain your experiences. Awesome guides. You got a sub! Thnx for your guides!

Not only does this boss kick your ass, there’s these drone asshats that could annihilate your 4 hour grind with their 99% accurate homing missiles

Because of your guide I was prepared and beat him on the first try

Today is the day, this dude is finally going down

Did him on first try. Btw. rapid fire (not sure if it is a correct english name for this weapon skill) is the most op weapon skill you can get.

I just got to this boss and if it wasn’t for a coop summon I would never have beat him this fight was crazy!!

Yeah bro, thx so much. With your help, i managed to first-try this sucker!

After 2 days I finally done it!!!

Beat him second try same life with the astronaut thanks to you :)

3rd Phase I was all like "WTF IS GOING ON😱😱😱"

First tried it thanks to your guide! You’re the man.

Thanks bro. Beat em on my first try 👍🏽 Great tips.

I've beaten all the Soulsborne games multiple times Sekiro included done bl4 and sl1 runs and this game is one of the hardest games I've ever played and yet it's one of the best games I've ever played.

Good guide, thanks 🙏🏻

To note, the 'fire ground' attack happens if you take too long in phase 2 as well, just the boss isn't as crazy with the attacks.

Good and at the same time tough game,beat that shit today on my first try.. Way to the top of the tower was harder than actually boss itself💪

Finally beat him! Used level 15 hollowseeker with portal beam. Stats: +2 weapon damage, +10 protection, + 25 repair, - 2 cool down. I really think it was the portal beam that stole the show. Also I was constantly moving, even when the platforms start shifting. I ended up almost on top of him. Had small health vial I used but really didn't need to.

Thanks! Absolutely annihilated him with a lobber in 1st try. Quite a game

Me hitting my head against the wall for sticking to my hollowseeker 10* instead of switching to the thermal weapon 12* because of increased fire rate. Did very low damage and died. Lesson learned. Thanks.

Thank you so much for guiding i finish it today ❤

some more tips for the third phase: - You can fall infinitely far down so you don't have to wait on the platforms. Just move forward always and if there is no platform, just jump down had use your grappling hook when you see a platform. There's no fall damage - You are invincible when using the grappling hook, you can really use that to your advantage when you're dodging bullets in phase 3 - The protection stat is super OP. In biome 3 (or 6) you can easily have 60-95% protection (I have this nearly every run) making you almost invincible

I beat it on my 1st try with a level 15 weapon. It was an epic battle!!!

Just beat this boss. Thanks! Seems the first phase is the toughest.

Thanks for the guide. Only took me 2 attempts after reaching him.

Omg when u tell u I was stuck on this boss for decades… it honestly takes skill to beat this game not health packs or upgrades.. plus coop could mess you up sometime too

thank you for the video!!!

Just spent 2 hours farming up a really nice build and fought this guy for the first time and did almost no damage to him :( I'll try a different weapon next time I guess! Nice guide though!

Nice and clear explanation

This game is great but stressful. You put so much into each run to build your character up. When you get to the boss, it's so nerve racking. The thought of failure sucks. Kinda makes you make jittery mistakes. But this boss on my third time, and then realized he is quite easy if you relax and do your thing. I like the Electropylon gun the best. That gun is BOSS!!!

Great walkthrough

I finished this boss using a level 10 carabine. Overall I think using a hitscan weapon it’s usually better because of the instant damage 😂 rather tan higher weapons with slow damage, at least for now

Have you ever played Outland, also by Housemarque? I know everyone compares the bosses in this game to Ikaruga on steroids, but Outland is a lesser known little gem where you also dodged a lightshow of bullets during boss fights.

i watched this guide just in case first time i managed to get to him. Little did i know that with lvl 15 rifle with leeching he was kinda easy :D

WOOOOOO! I JUST FUCKING BEAT HIM. LET'S FUCKING GO!

I came here with 285% integrity and a lvl 15 hallowseeker with 3 traits, astronout, revival parasite, leech artifact and healing item (big one). But still the biggest help was this video, so cheers for that 🙌

Thanks for the guide beat it on my 2nd try

Beat him first try! Maxed out Integrity, two large silphium vials, shield vial, astronaut relic, and level 15 Rotgland lobber. He didn’t even Stand A Chance. DEAL WITH IT HOUSEMARQUE!!

Thanks for the guide. I thought the pushback was when you got too close, now I know to just run up and thirst him.

I know there’s a big red “fuck me” light on its chest, but honestly, for a good 10 sec I didn’t know what I had to shoot at, so I tried the big blue head and the aliens first.

I should have watched the guide before facing him. He got me good on the first try

2 hours. Lvl 11 Hollowseeker, near max integrity, survive a killing blow parasite, went it with max adrenaline shield on, had 2 more shields, and small silphium. Got pushed back by nemesis THREE times and I couldn't recover. The gameplay is so fun but maybe this game just isn't for me, I wish I had all the time in the world to master it but with my job I just barely have time for games and when I do I don't want to feel like trash. But at least ghost of Tsushima directors cut is freaking awesome.

This boss is really easy if you have the Tachyomatic Carbine (Killsight) level 12, I won in the first try! Of course I had the resurrection parasite on.

Thank you so much!!!! I finally beat him!

I finally beat him after 50,000 tries. I finally knocked him off. He became easy once just took my time and started thinking more.

You sir...THANK YOU. First try. I did have an astronaut artifact. I died during the 3rd phase. Came back beat this virus on the first try. Used Electropylon driver *14

Died at phase 3 with about 30% enemy health left. Had to grapple two platforms fairly close, and as I ascended the last platform, I got struck by 2 stray purple missile swarm thingies. Should've taken the health packs instead of the damage siphons :(

Thanks for the tips, phase 1 and 2 were very easy but 3 is a pain. Sadly trophies are bugged for me and for others too it seems...

I think I’m pretty prepared for nemesis. Didn’t encounter any rank 12 weapons but my hollowseeker is rank 11 with almost all stats to bonus damage and serrated, tho not sure if serrated works on bosses anyway. I have 3 large silphium vials, astronaut and 238% integrity. I got Phrike on first try and Ixion in my second try, but i was nowhere near as prepared as I am now so I’m hoping I’ll get Nemesis on my first try, especially cuz I did so much to prepare for it lol

So basically I need to go everywhere and find everything I possibly can to ensure the best weapon and items before attempting the boss

i just finally reached him!!! i felt so good!! i lost but i did it !! lol

Do you recommend the spitmaw for fighting bosses like this or is it up to personal preference

Went bavk to it last week after getting stuck on the 2nd boss, I'm just on 4th biome now... Great game, you really need to build yourself up and not rush it... The shortcuts done me, was going to the boss too early...

Done it first try with damage siphon, 2* carbine & reduced integrity malfunction. Absolutey nailed the first zone, bought everything I could, rushed the third zone. Was unlucky not to find a better gun but other than that, this boss is easier than the first 2. Just make sure you have extra health and possibly a second life if needed

the rotgland lobber is so so good for this boss fight at stage 3 i dont even need to get close to him to deal consistent damage, and can hide behind the platforms for the projectiles too! try it!

My hands sweat excessively during boss fights

I love this game, but I'm so stuck with 3rd boss! I wanna scream 😱

I was lucky to beat this boss on my first try with a lvl.8 Tachyomatic Carbine with (Bonus Damage 6)

Only game where I literally PRAY that i win the boss fights 😂😭 this game would’ve won MANY awards had it not been as difficult as it is.

Finally got to the boss but had a crap weapon. couldnt get to the third phase cuz it took so long, I couldn't outlast him

Best weapon to use is the Electropylon Driver. Most of the time you can focus avoiding hits, dashing and moving from platform to platform while the ED is doing its job. Just be sure to have a good power bonus attack and enough integrity.

I got killed and my last flying projectile Killed the boss at the same time. The dying boss cinematic started but got cut off and was replaced with my returnal cinematic. So I killed the boss but could not progress to the next biome :(

What consumable were you using that was replenishing health??

Fuck yeah, I did it in one try! Took me a lot of deaths in the room before though. I have the feeling that keep calm and if you don't, run and get your s*** together. I have the feeling that my timing with dodges etc. is getting better. Fun to feel this, just like Souls game.

Managed to beat this bitch first time thanks to your great tips, my man. Thank you. Stay safe and keep helping the masses. ^_^

I just fought him for the first time and made it to phase 3. I messed up by switching weapons halfway through the level because I wanted to unlock a new trait. I should of stayed with what I had.
