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!
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
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 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.
Me too brother. But I think I’m nearly about to get it. I tried a couple different builds and think the one I put together last night is the one to beat this fucka 😂 you got this bro 👊
@@FearDaReaper i got him last night, went full dodge build, trying something different. Had to repeat a few missions so i could get the big generator and actually boost my energy threshold. It took me a few fights, but got him with an energy pistol, energy canon, and 2 vertical missile launchers.
@@DoubleJJizzle nice bro I got on a couple hours ago and beat him myself. I didn’t actually realise you could re do the missions to make more money tho 🤦♂️ I thought I’d done all I could do. So sold everything that wasn’t equipped and bought a light build. Didn’t quite work so went light to medium with the two energy machine guns on the arms and two vertical missile launchers on the shoulders. I’ve just now beat that next big boss with my last three rockets 😂 having a blast tho. Literally.
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.
@@johncra8982 no sir, gen Z I think it is? So many damn generations and stereotypes to keep track of honestly. Born in '01, played my first AC game when I was 15, so it's just a fuckin great feeling to have a new game after 8 years of waiting lmao. Yourself?
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!
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.
Im still struggling too. I was using tetra legs and started performing a lot better by switching to legs with a faster dodge cool down. Still loosing but I'm taking less damage from the missiles. It's really the big rocket that's killing me now
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.
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
a bit of spoilers but there's 11 missions for the first chapter, this is just the endboss for that final mission. the missions will vary in length though
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
how i been doing this and that bar does not even build that fast. i got the same gear and hitting all my shot and yet that stagger bar doesnt even come close to full that fast as this video. thats so suse
like i been telling my self ok, soo i need to get that bat faster so i do that but no build comes close to get that stagger bar full fast as this chip, all im saying im not believing my eye how fast that went up and when i go at it and doesnt even build past haft with full power at this stage, something is up
@@Adanu191 yep I'm a big fan of every fromsoft game since Demon's Souls. I ended up beating him by just overwhelming him with melee and firing while assault boosting right at him. he wanted to relentlessly spam missiles, so I relentlessly got in his face and it worked really well. your bullets do more damage during assault boost making them more helpful against shields
@@arbiter- Yeah, I can see how souls players like this shit, but it isn't AC to me. I'll finish this game, but if this is the direction they're going, count me out for sure.
*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 !!*
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.
No not at all i dont even think the comparison mskes sense. Batleus doesnt even have anyone inside it. the PCA sent a drone on sterioids to clean up a mess.
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.
Based on vaatividya's vid abt his AC6 playthrough, it seems that use of repair kits may mean the difference between getting an S-rank on the mission or not, which i'm pretty sure S-ranking may give you potential loot/parts
@@DarkLordFromTheSecondAge i find funny thee complaints about healing, from could have let your AP and enemy dmg like in the video and ppl would complain that is to hard aka last raven 2, just like everybody that was a vet said that sekiro was to hard and from lost its rail the day the game come out, just like one dude said "From/souls fans dont like hard games they like midly challenge games so they can say that is hard"
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.
And how is it lying when i played the game myself and this was the point we can only go up to which IS the end of Chapter 1... Not the first mission boss which is something else...
Bro. I don't get these PS3 comments. Have you guys ever played on the PS3? THIS shit right here would cause that poor thing to explode! Get. OUT of here with your PS3 graphics talk, you wouldn't know what a good game was with how much you're sniffing EA sports microtransactioned feet.
I love that they kept that signature “MAIN SYSTEM: ENGAGING COMBAT MODE” stuff for this game.
Its so fukin cool now though
Since the first one. So fucking awesome!!
The sound design in this game is so well done like damn they went so hard and I appreciate it
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!
Now we wait for the cool ass music with singing like ac4 and 5 for badass experience
I love this theme so damn much. And this fight .... We are back Ravens

Hope
It helps a lot that she calls us by the callsign rather than our number.
i know right. i just beat this boss and it was a very nice fight. i felt cared for by ayre.
The soundtrack and the spectacle of this fight is 🔥
You can't even hear it stop it
@@Relic192 You can kinda hear it. Just gotta listen past the SFX, if that makes sense.
Truly the work of Kota Hoshino
@@Relic192 I can hear it just fine through my headphones.
@@Relic192skill issue
The "enemy system down,its silent"+the very last long note of the soundtrack sound oddly soothing
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.
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
Bloody clerics…
Beating the sins out of me

@@DoubleJJizzle sea creature? 👀 lol
Biblically accurate AC
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
Titanfall lookinass (it's a good thing)
someone also did this fight with a tank build
I just finished this fight with a tetrapod using two laser cannons and a shotgun/pulse. I hated it.
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.

0:27 Did anyone else notice the "eyes" on the AC light up when the jaming started?
This should get some awards
Dude the game isn't even out yet
@@MegaMindfreak666
I’m saying this game has a chance of getting awards
EZ, the comeback is unparalleled
💯
This is just the first main boss lol
LETS FUCKING GOOOO
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 saw Vaati use the assault shield (i think thats what its called, cant remember) against Balteus, so i think you can get it early.
I want to show this clip to everyone who claimed that this game was going to be a Dark Souls clone
Yeah I don't even remember dark souls players flying while shooting guns
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!
I heard you like *bullet hell.*
Im excited to learn more about this Ayre chick, shes probably the one who will break us away from Waltuh.
sfx: |----^----|
bgm: |--------^|
Based and musicpilled, that theme is gonna get boomboxed through my headset. Won't be able to concentrate because I'm head bopping too hard.
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.

@@Reikaenkami Yeah, I went lightweight and used dodging to beat it. Pulse weapons for breaking the shield, missles for dps.
This is the final boss of the tutorial chapter… ohohohohoho~
I want that song
Was that Laura Bailey's voice? Wynne D. Fanchon?
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.

Welcome to armored core and the nest, Raven
Armored Core makes the Souls games feel like nothing, prepare your butthole
Holy bullet hell
Wait your telling me this is only the final boss of the first chapter 💀
a bit of spoilers but there's 11 missions for the first chapter, this is just the endboss for that final mission. the missions will vary in length though
@@thebeardedaliengamer7103 i know its not the first mission its the end of the first chapter of missions
I’m struggling so much with this boss what’s the equipment ur using for it
My computer crashed when he did his sworm missile, fire sword the first time.
Ayre in this video sounds different from other videos I've heard her/it in. Option to change operator voice sounds like in ACV?
Not that im aware of
This Build was very helpful. Just gotta get extra cash for the shop parts. Thank you!
How everyone’s hearin the music of the boss I can’t cause all the damn racket the boss and game is doing
Turn down the effects
How many aliens you have slain to win that Gantz motor?
I'm gonna git gud instead of using repair kits
It's the Armored Core way
Good luck bro, don't forget that the game is balanced around having repair kits, but you wont need em if you don't get hit 😉
rookies the lot of you! cant wait to get my hands on this!!!!
You want missiles? We got horizontal missiles we got vertical missiles hell we got missiles not even I know about!
Just keep dodging......just KEEP dodging!!!!
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
Yeah he was tuned down a bit
you doged the rockets with an dash/melee combo^^ that was nice and it works XD
Someone help me out! I can’t defeat this boss… what type of build do u guys recommend??
Do you guys know how many chapters are there ?
5
Any demo for this ? Well even already pre order this game i am lol
Unfortunately not

i did it !!! all i had to do is put on gear with AP silly me
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 guessing you're a souls player? I'm not, and this fight just felt like overtuned missile spam with a bullshit shield mechanic.

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.

Read the title, its the final boss of chapter 1, and mission 11 is the final mission of chapter 1
yes because Vaati's word is law around here, and what he says goes. Read before you spew nonsense. Nothing CG titled here is wrong.
