Twelve Labors go ▂▂▃▃▅▅ーーー！！

Thanks! The first boss is one of the toughest parts, its spider assists are maybe the most dangerous enemy. If you ever give it another go and breach past that point you're on good pace to make progress.

Of course I will try again after watching your video :) I'll try again as A2 this time.

Yo dude what's the attack move you always use on the boss?

That's sword heavy attack while holding evade

Sean 平儀 i expected a dlc with A2 as the protagonist since we dont know what exactly happened to her team in the past besides the quick bit of dialogue they give at one point.

HardCOREmoDEx did you ever read the data of the final moments of their team that Anemone gives you? I feel like they knew they couldn't do extra content with the budget they had so they put it into words, which sucks but it definitely added to the story! If they ever do another Nier game that'd be freaking amazing! Sadly I doubt it T.T especially under square enix

Sean 平儀 The game did better than they expected so another nier is posible but maybe in another 4 to 5 years, almost the same wait as with the original, also its not the same reading it and playing it im surprised they prefered making this dlc and not the A2 one but oh well better than nothing.

There is also the theater production they made for the mission detailed in the data given to A2 by Anemone, it explains in more detail who A2 is based off of and more about the first Yorha Androids, Spoilers: She's Based off of Kaine from the original

I can't think of a way to deal with them without overclock or counter, they don't exactly hand you openings to attack. Thanks.

I can't get very far either, the farthest I've made it was beating the tank.

Ernest Jay I still don't get how he burst it down so fast. Fangs bullet rupture or something?

@@aranduriel11 He's playing on VH, where even the weakest enemy will one shot you. However that also means ... most defensive chips are useless other than Offensive heal, which can be used to sustain berserk. You can see that he minimizes OS chips, keeping only the HUD elements he needs, and go hyper offensive on chips and all of his weapons are crit weapons.

@@90Rush nah dude he has to have some sort of heal otherwise he can't sustain A2 berserk mode. Also, it doesn't matter if it's vh or not. You get one shot in normal in this quest because everyone is at least 40 levels above you.

@@aranduriel11 that's what he said. The heal chip to sustain B mode is Offensive heal

I haven't gotten past the first part.

That's why it's used. With taunt it's a devastating combination that still let you take 1 hit.

It would be more impressive if they weren't using Berserk. Kinda makes Very Hard mode redundant.

you complete it with no berserk then.

Wow, someone took it personally. I didn't say this wasn't impressive, just less impressive.

you beat it on very hard then. hell, beat it without debug.

Yeah you can go way further with this level. This was just a beat with any means possible kind of run & there are better videos out there by now.

yijun ge what..2B is harder than A2

I agree lol

I was think that I just sucked at the game

I fuking hate gun robots

cskychen Watch until the end

Debug mode

He Was using Steel Pipe(Nier from the prologue) and Ancient Lord.

I used R2 for pod fire and R1 for pod program.

Theres the golden bunny you can grind, only about a dozen trips w/ 9S and your at max level, go the carnival area and he's that statue you see at the start if you didnt know

I think triple adam is a bug if you kill one before healthbars pop up (had it happen in another run)

They were charging a pod skill

It's good. You might be better off replacing ranged atk up with shockwave, I didn't experiment with it enough. I don't have close to optimal chips here so no extra space for it.

Shockwave doesnt work with Gestalt machines(Shadow versions of the bosses).

@@rodrigocantarino4751 the Shades? Shiiiit im boned

and why is the taunt for? just for fun or did i miss something in the game?

Taunt increase damage

Taunt increases damage dramatically. You can see it effect the enemies when their heads turn red and steam; both you and the enemies do increased damage. By default it's ~150%, but his Taunt+6 chips makes it 400% damage for both parties.

It's part of the DLC. Colosseums are at the locked elevators which used to have apologetic machines in front of them.

Weapons specced for critical, damage glitch on short sword with hold dash + secondary (triangle)

Charge attack chips aren't ideal as you cant afford to sit still for too long. Critical Chips + Crit weapons are a must. Ancient Overlord/Iron Pipe/Fang of the twins/Cypress Stick. - Damage output is ridiculous on criticals

Just for high crit rate and stun. The secondary weapon is used way more. Bracers have a faster taunt animation so might be better to equip one as primary.

Oh it's possible just waaay harder. A2 does the most dps because of berserk mode

Pod program mirage

@@lamp6909 Thanks.

Yep my pod level was low here too. Doesn't matter much.

Spiriter perfect dodge?

Spiriter overclock chip

thx

I abused the fact that charging a pod program slows all enemies down. Enemies almost never evade if you attack while they're in a slow effect. Thats usually what I'm doing whenever I attack here. Shockwave is the better choice indeed. Nice job on finishing it! Adam & Eve are really dangerous. I'd mostly wait for your turn using overclock.. Just trying to take on Adam in a challenge run aggressively is a massive pain.

As Zaarock said, you can see when they're using the bullet-time effect by watching for the charge Area of Effect circle for Mirage under them, but it never comes out. Charging a pod gives you a good ~3 seconds of a slowdown effect on all enemies, and it helps with them dodging/not hitting you a lot. For Adam&Eve, you can go into Debug Mode and just practice dodging their attacks for a while if you want. Eve's are a little deceptive, yeah, best simple advice I can give is to make sure you are on the outside of it's range, and then dodge out of the range entirely. Your goal should be to trigger Overclock, so you can safely attack. The biggest threats are the dash-grab and the jump-punch grab, that he dodges in this video, they're very fast and kill you through berserk. Honestly, my advice is to go into the fight with 3x P Shield and Evasive Systems. That deals with almost every attack, except the throws. Then you can overclock with impunity and do damage as long as it doesn't expose you to situations where you can't react to throws that they might do.

Wow thanks for that Pod charge advice, I was really losing my mind here, if something makes "Very Hard Mode" so difficult is the fact that they'll spam evasion everytime you want to hit them with combos, it got me killed many times since I was stubborn on trying to melee mobs that wont stop with the DODGE skills, I'll definetly try it again with this method. And about Eve, that's exactly what was happening to me, I was using overclock but they'd still react sometimes towards it, a thing that never happened on previous difficulties, at least not to me.

wow. nice use of mirage. didnt know till now about the slow effect of pod charge.

iirc you get the better ones by fusing those 6+, and this process involved some hidden shops

Charging a pod program slows down enemies, then to cancel the pod program fire the normal shot

bob donkey not really..i did this and it was fine on pc also they added a 144hz support recently

Actually I had no problem with it, it runs smooth 60fps with 1440p and Reshade + SweetFX. Actually looks much better than the ps4 version.

A2 was in Berserk mode

Very impressive making it that far without chips, I don't know how you would deal with adam&eve without them. Maybe requires smart use of pod programs and alternating between multiple. Adams final form in base game alone is a pain as some moves are too fast to react to at close range. These two wont just hand out openings to be attacked often. At least you can punish the shield moves more often than others. Overclock gives you windows to attack and I guess you're expected to have it here.

If you drop to 0 health in berserk mode you get knocked out of berserk instead of dying, just like other difficulties. You can use healing items during the hitpause to never get knocked out which is really silly, but items are unusable in these arenas.

Ah, I see, man Berserk mode is even better than I thought. Good shit on this run regardless

I recommend trying this level regardless of the challenge, its the most fun part of the game for combat imo. You get to face most enemy types and can fight them using all abilities without being overpowered. In the base game by the time you've unlocked everything you just steamroll things and couldnt roll back your level.

It's funny you say that because that was my biggest issue with the base game. Like, even the final boss didn't have the final boss feel that most Platinum games have. I really dislike how the difficulty is all over the place and heavily depending on chips that you can actually permanently lose. I liked all the story stuff but after 60+ hours of the strange balancing and unlimited healing items it just started to leave a bad taste in my mouth. Which is extra frustrating since I was looking forward to this game so much, I was damn near certain it would be one of my most absolute favorite games but it just wasn't for me. I definitely plan to go back and play it one more time from the beginning but it'll probably be a while before I get around to it. Also, I bought the JP version when I was in Japan so I need to get JP PSN cash card to actually even buy the DLC lol

@@Zaarock How much Hp do you have? I always get 1 hit despite being lvl 99 with 14k hp

I just used debug mode,it's pretty much impossible to do this normally.

Reward for beating special rank in forest colosseum

Tks

Nesouk Kefka Hack using alot of stuns and reset/overclock. The time limit freezes during hacking. its possible but takes longer than an hour.. could bring MShield Pshiled to reposition

Dlc

NoRussianman they always one shot... A2 however is set to 1 hp if in Bmode

It's part of B mode aka berserk mode. Hold L3 & R3 for 2 seconds to activate it and then press your dash button

@@ililililliil PS version... Do u know what's move for PC?

right i wanna know the same thing

DLC outfit and beat either the Sand Trials or Flooded city coliseum (cant remember which one)

I was in berserk mode

Hector Rodriguez If you take critical dmg A2 berserk modw would end.

A2 with dyed hair, you can unlock several dyes

Afaik, berserk give +100% damage like maxed last stand

On Very Hard, maxed last stand is the same as berserk, except it takes up 21 chip points and can't expire. On every other difficulty, health matters so it's a bit more complicated.

The item lowers your level by 10. So by beating this and the desert trial you have full control over your level/experience. Can do things like NG+ starting at level 1 or have fights in chapter select be more balanced by changing to the right level.

Damage on sword heavy attack in the middle of evade is glitched, does more than heavy attack from neutral.

Max taunt, max level, max weapons, and max skill chips will get you those numbers

@@minhdiep308 ooooooooooof

did u even watch the fucking video? he shows all his chips and weapons rofl

Tehasce​ Look "Anonymous" don't come at me with that ugly nonsense.

u wot m8?

Just auto attack/item which you can only use on normal or below

But imc not allowed to use chips in normal

After u beat it once, ur allowed to use chips later?

What he meant was that the autochips that are available on easymode cant be used, and the "auto use item" chip does nothing. All other chips still work

crit+, cypress stick is also really good because of that, crits do +5 times more damage than a normal hit

Just like Graphix Cat said, both his weapons are small swords with crit+, which makes the enemies die a lot faster

Me and the pipe, We go way back.

I've been using the pipe as my primary weapon from the start because its the first one I got to level up to 4. it has served me very well indeed!

@@gavfitzpatrick Considering it the the choice weapon of the final boss of the previous game, it is a great weapon indeed.

sword heavy attack while holding dash has glitched damage

FFXII KD oh rofl I didn't see, thanks!
