i followed this video for the s rank for my s ranking. thanks for the strat. a little breakdown because i did it slightly different: - the first shot is the most consistent. you don’t even have to move around. just stand still, wait for the worm to crawl up on your left, look up, then fire. - after the first phase, the player here correctly predicts the next location of the worm. you can get it consistently spawn there or around there by going towards the orc, go a little right and perspect your camera so that the orc is on the right side of the screen, and stand still. the worm will always show up in front of you in the middle of the screen. hit it for around 4k damage, then turn your camera left and assault boost towards the location in the video. the worm will show up in that exact spot, or somewhere around it, but close enough that an ac with a 350 speed and long range fcs can get a shot in. the worm will go to your left like that, regardless of its position, but it’ll most likely show up where your camera is so just chill. - for the third phase, the first shot is very consistent but dangerous. you could get hit by the lightning and get stunned out of the animation and miss. the second shot is much more consistent and safe, and that’s an attack that will almost always guarantee a hit as long as you strafe left. another attack that’s consistent is when it goes straight up and looks down. you can beat the boss without much flying so the wheelchair treads will give you the speed to strafe past most attacks and dodge the worm. if you prefer flying, then the 3rd phase attack where the worm coils into itself is also consistent. if you see it coiling into itself, fly straight up, look down and shoot. its face will rise up towards the sky and it’ll get hit. - you also only need 1 needle and a pile driver for the s rank. only shoot at attacks shown in the video or the ones i describe and your chances of missing will decrease. the more ammo you spend, the less likely you’ll get an s rank, so 4 shots is all you should fire. you can end phase 1 and 2 with a fully charged pile bunker. as long as it takes 4k dmg, it transitions phase. for phase 3, 2 charged pile bunker are enough (maybe a punch and a kick too). so the total is 4 needle shots and 4 pile bunkers. if you don’t get hit, or use pulse armor, the expenses will be less than 19k, and you’ll get an s rank. this is definitely one of the more fun and cool s ranks to try and get. hope this helps someone. also if you kill it fast enough, chatty won’t die. he helped me kill the worm with his missiles. if you’re lucky, iguazu won’t die either, but i haven’t had that luck cus he always runs into a stray missile towards the end of the 3rd phase. snail is the only scripted death.

Respect @greenteapls for pointing towards @Hunter Kuro as the source of this awesome method. Thank you @Hunter Kuro as this mission is a awesome pain in the rear to get an S (for me at least).
Good try man, although i just saw a run that was a minute faster. A bit unlucky on phase 3 but i know u can do better!! Here's the build of that vid i watched AC used in video: M1JX1MJCZ9WV (Steam/PC only)
@@kage_hunter Thanks, i did it last night but it should be noted you can't use 2 Stun needle launchers until you've beat the boss first time. You can only use one
@@aituk yup, i thought I could do it faster by hitting the boss with 2 needles at the same time as the last shield needs two hits, from what I see the game forces you to hit in twice separate times either way, so it ended up being useless
![Armored Core 6 - Ice Worm Boss Fight [4K 60FPS] [PS5]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/iSdbAgU3SmI/mqdefault.jpg)
"I won't miss" sent chills down my spine first time i heard it, amazing game.
I love the sound design of the rail gun piercing the ice worm soooo much. One of the best moments in the game. Damn they did a great job!
Yeah this is one of the most cinematic boss battles ever imo. The way the coral cracks across the sky in it’s second phase just looks incredible too
this game has great atmosphere and feel, the final chapter bosses are very very well made, low quantity and very very high quality
My only complain is the railgun shot penetrating through the thick armour of the Ice Worm didn’t reduce its health bar😅
this has to be the best gimmick boss fight of any fromsoft game
that moment when the music stops and rusty throws out a one liner, then BAM
i followed this video for the s rank for my s ranking. thanks for the strat.
a little breakdown because i did it slightly different:
- the first shot is the most consistent. you don’t even have to move around. just stand still, wait for the worm to crawl up on your left, look up, then fire.
- after the first phase, the player here correctly predicts the next location of the worm. you can get it consistently spawn there or around there by going towards the orc, go a little right and perspect your camera so that the orc is on the right side of the screen, and stand still. the worm will always show up in front of you in the middle of the screen. hit it for around 4k damage, then turn your camera left and assault boost towards the location in the video. the worm will show up in that exact spot, or somewhere around it, but close enough that an ac with a 350 speed and long range fcs can get a shot in. the worm will go to your left like that, regardless of its position, but it’ll most likely show up where your camera is so just chill.
- for the third phase, the first shot is very consistent but dangerous. you could get hit by the lightning and get stunned out of the animation and miss. the second shot is much more consistent and safe, and that’s an attack that will almost always guarantee a hit as long as you strafe left. another attack that’s consistent is when it goes straight up and looks down. you can beat the boss without much flying so the wheelchair treads will give you the speed to strafe past most attacks and dodge the worm. if you prefer flying, then the 3rd phase attack where the worm coils into itself is also consistent. if you see it coiling into itself, fly straight up, look down and shoot. its face will rise up towards the sky and it’ll get hit.
- you also only need 1 needle and a pile driver for the s rank. only shoot at attacks shown in the video or the ones i describe and your chances of missing will decrease. the more ammo you spend, the less likely you’ll get an s rank, so 4 shots is all you should fire. you can end phase 1 and 2 with a fully charged pile bunker. as long as it takes 4k dmg, it transitions phase. for phase 3, 2 charged pile bunker are enough (maybe a punch and a kick too). so the total is 4 needle shots and 4 pile bunkers. if you don’t get hit, or use pulse armor, the expenses will be less than 19k, and you’ll get an s rank.
this is definitely one of the more fun and cool s ranks to try and get. hope this helps someone.

I love how the music builds tension with the rail cannon, it is a very nice touch
Great strat, just tried it out and got the S on the 1st attempt
glad to help, have fun with the game, it is a very well made game

Good shit gamer.
@@kage_hunter You can, just stagger by like .5-1sec and it works. Simultaneous and it doesn't give credit for both hits.
