- I went through and reviewed every single boss fight from Armored core six fires of rubicon.
00:00 - Intro
01:10 - Tutorial Helicopter
03:28 - Juggernaut
04:34 - BALTEUS
06:51 - Smart Cleaner
08:05 - Sea Spider
09:13 - CATAPHRACT
10:07 - Ice Worm
11:50 - Enforcer
13:40 - CEL 240 "IBIS Mech"
15:18 - Rusty
16:07 - Walter
16:54 - Ayre
17:44 - Allmind/Iguazu - Ігри
A few notes:
- First your characterisation of Ayre is WAY OFF. She's not going "psycho-ex", she's fighting to stop you from enacting a genocide on her entire species and home planet. The "shared resolve on the wings of this machine" isn't her and the mech, it's her representing the shared resolve of the entire Coral hivemind. She's lamenting the fact that she's having to choose between the only person who ever heard her and saving her entire species, the fact that the choice is easy doesn't make it any less painful.
- The ALLMIND mech suit isn't the same as IB-07 Sol-644. Like pretty much everything ALLMIND creates it is based on analysis of other people's technology, the Institute's included, which is why is bares similarities to Sol-644. But it is different in both equipment and looks, overall it's a much higher performance machine especially once Iguazu loses it. Secondly ALLMIND isn't possessed by Iguazu there, ALLMIND chose Iguazu to pilot that suit (or at least a digitized or otherwise uploaded version of him) and actively announces that was a mistake once Iguazu loses it so much he overrides ALLMIND's interference and blocks them out in the last phase of the fight.
- The fact that ARQUEBUS BALTEUS isn't here is criminal.
Ayre gang rise up
@@premiumsocketsIguazu gang rise up! (It’s just me)
@@samnunnink7575 OK NO BUT I AM ALSO PRO=IGUAZU
@@samnunnink7575 I am not to offend anyone here, but - why do you guys like this bland fight? The battle with Ayre at least has some decent special effects, this one is just, well, typical AC vs AC fight.
@@ivanshulika5359 Well the rest of the fight is amazing but I agree that the first part is lesser in comparison. I mainly like it because it makes the player actually think about their build. I can take anything into the Ayre fight and win, but I have to take an actually decent build into the AllGuazu fight. I can understand why it would annoy some people but I enjoy it.
No idea how you got all the way to Ng+++ and didnt catch on to Ayre's motivations.
heres an idea on how he missed all of it : going berserk mode on the skip button to get footage for the video faster
once you complete the game one time ng+ and NG++ are easy
I love Iguazus/Allmind boss fight. All his movements are so mechanical and automated pre-freakout, and after its a nonstop barrage of slashes and laser. So cool.
I just hate the first phase. He and his minions aren't hard but it's annoying because he just hides behind his shield and runs away from you 100% of the fight. The second and third phases are phenomenal.
@@MaidenlessScrubI personally like it as it actually forces you to change up your build, the thing that armored core is praised for. I agree that they could’ve executed this idea better but I still like how it forces you to think about your build going in. I’ve seen a lot of people struggle with this boss with some builds and absolutely dominating it with others.
In the end sequence of that fight, I kinda get the feeling that Fromsoftware was like, "Hey, since you beat the boss and got all endings, we'll give you the option to make this conclusion sequence more *EPIC* to your desire!"
“Hey raven the coral people need your help im one of them and I sound like a female because I know you’re a basement dweller please feel sorry for me go save the coral people” yea real riveting sorry the fromshitware
@@_CrimsonBlade this is the place for gamers, not trollers
Yeah no, Ayre is the sane one in your fight with her in that ending. You didn't exactly give her a choice in that ending at all. And all of her dialogue about shared connections and symbiotic relationships makes sense if you actually payed attention to anything she said throughout the game.
But then again you admitted to nodding off during the lulls in fighting the Ice Worm so clearly you weren't attentive when nothing was actively turning your AC to scrap.
but ayre is so annoying how could she be sane
@@allofthelightsbykanyewest
Ayre is the only good character. The ONLY one that cares about you. The ONLY one to call you Raven more than once.
Ah yes ayre is the psycho ex when she chose to save herself and her family when the only person she trusted wanted to wipe out her race entirely
Even when you were fighting walter she didnt want you two to hurt each other and begged for you two to stop fighting because she knew how important 621 and walter is for each other even if she knew that walter wanted to kill her species
Wait, did you forget Snail in Arquebus Balteus? It's an incredible fight!
His crime is that he ignored him, IGNORED ARQUEBUS!
Yeah, it's pretty stunning too snail gave me a light show before I gave him the old rubconian handshake.
Even funnier when I mopped him with my super light weight machine gun build
@@TheMadMagnetthat's because he's not a mutt we thought he was, he was a vermin
Where's Snail Baelteus? Hearing him cry out when he gets beat... mmmm. That's the stuff.
EEEAAARRRGGHHH!!!
His rant upon you also deserves mention.
Dang dude totally missed Arquebaltaeus
Fromsoft really impresses with their ability to highten their bossfights with story elements, even the random AC fights throughout the story just get more fun through the banter between the characters alone, and some of the story implications that result from those. I really hope the game goes on sale on Black Friday, so I can experience it for myself
The nerf to Balteus was abit overblown
If I remembered, people complained about his bazooka spam (he fired like 2 shots in a row if you got ACS overloaded)
The missiles weren’t the biggest issue and the flamethrower shit was on the player (it’s Very easily telegraphed)
I beat his ass pre nerf with some of the worst weapon options
I took a laser blade and pistol into him while two Haldemans were on my back
My core was assault armor so it helped but that didn’t take away I took 2 laser weapons into a boss whose shield just shrugs it off
That’s actually a pretty good build. The laser blade is good for burst damage, the haldeman are just good weapons that just used to be heavily overshadowed by the zimmermans, and the pistol does good stagger for the laser sword.
@@samnunnink7575 I never charged fired it the whole fight
I was hard running on the haldemans and the laser blade was a gamble at all times cause I used it after I assault armored and even then the way it moved you can be iffy
@@livingreverie5951 The haldemans are still good weapons along with the pistols. Still impressive that you managed to do it but you might want to take a second look at that build, there’s something there.
@@samnunnink7575 oh no I went back and fully rebuilt it from the ground up
I now run a linear rifle, dual haldemans, and pulse blade
@@livingreverie5951 Thats definitely an upgrade. Sounds like a fun build
Wait what about snail in the second Balteus fight, or chatty and cinder?
V.II Snail in his version of the balteus was a boss.
Hands down hardest boss for me by a mile. Not done yet (just starting act 3 of last run) but Snail in his Balteus was nuts. He killed me more than the next 5 hardest guys combined.
My absolute FAVORITE bossfight is one that wasn't shown in this video.
The Arquebus Balty fight against Salt King 2: V.II Snail. It's distinct enough from the original Balteus to be a practically new fight, and with arguably better music than the original to boot. The presentation of the fight is phenomenal, and hearing that arrogant mollusk scream in agony was SO GODDAMN LIBERATING.
I first defeated the Ibis CEL-240 using a lightweight reverse-joint mech with two Ransetsu-RFs and a pair of orbit weapons.
It was a really fun dog fight.
17:18 pretty sure she's mad because you are trying to kill her entire family
My favorite fight is still Ice Worm for all the cinematic moments and voice lines. With right build, no fight is really that hard.
I actually didn't have that much trouble with Balteus. However I had LOADS of trouble with the sea spider. My favorite fight was Robot Melania (Ibis). See I really love ultra light super fast builds where I'm made of tissue paper but actually landing a hit is nearly impossible on me. Equipping the pre-buff assault rifle, pulse blade, and vertical plasma and going ham on the Ibis is this highspeed sweaty palm death dance where one wrong move will leave you with most of your health bar gone. Terminal armor helps too.
Edit: Also, I'm pretty sure in the internal files for AC6 the Coral was named "Melange" before it was renamed to "Coral" in the final game. You weren't the only one who noticed the parallels either. LIterally after the intro sequence I was in a call with a friend and I was like "They're talking about this like its the Spice Melange or something."
not talking abt snail in baltaeus is crazy
The guy's biggest crime besides not knowing Ayre's character is that he ignored -Snail- Arquebus.
the funny part of the tutorial boss being the first filter is that anyone who gave up on the game without beating it literally did not earn the right to call themselves a raven
most of my bossfight problems got solved by the simple tip to just stay as close as possible to the bosses
Funny when I was starting my go to strategy used to be the complete opposite. Keep distance and spam missiles.
I really hope Bandai delivers on the model kit design and gives us the bosses as said kits. AC's on their own are cool, but I really like the designs like the Enforcer and Balteus (which you forgot the Arquebus form of) really have a lot of nice detail you don't see unless you get up close with the camera feature.
I am going through the game (my 5th time 😃) as just one AC and not switching anything but certain weapons and it definitely makes certain parts of the game much harder. I am using the alba ac parts, grid walker booster, the gen with 100 energy spec, laser lance, pile bunker, ransetsu rf, and the coral missile launcher, and it has been a blast! So much fun just bunking everything that i can 😆
One fight I really like is vs V.I, not so much because its difficult, but just knowing hes a regluar dude that loves to fight. He truly was built different
You do not need a specialized build to beat any boss. It just helps if your struggling.
The part about the next 4 bosses after Balteus is so true. My problem wasnt with how tough he was, its how early in the game hes thrown at you- and that the next handful of bosses are alot easier by a wide margin.
Disappointed with your characterization of Ayre. She'd made her motivations very clear throughout the game; she wanted to see how the conflict ended, and to save the coral (since it's alive and her family!!). The fight made me cry, we were the only ones who ever heard her ;-; Not to mention referencing "Psycho Ex" here is a reductive and sexist view of the situation. She's fighting in self-defense.
I was 1000% ready to put her down.
I understand where she’s coming from with self defense but… like you’ll be told the Coral is going to rapidly multiply and spread and we need to burn it or it will spread unchecked.
We are basically told it’s going to be an alien apocalypse with the coral growing out of control. She hears that and it isn’t ‘oh my god my species might wipe out the universe’ it’s ‘someone wants to wipe us out’.
I’d totally react the same way, but the survival of the universe > survival of one alien species.
I was really against helping the coral initially but both endings (haven’t gotten final one yet) were presented really well I thought. They made helping the rubiconians really hype.
Yeah, she was pretty much characterized as wanting to protect rubicon. But she really does give spurned lover vibes from her fight dialog. Not crazy ex girlfriend, but definitely spurned lover.
Agreed. She was the sane one defending herself FROM the psycho ex. You were literally called a monster that burned the stars in that ending. How tf could someone be so tone deaf?
Nah she and her kind are a Danger to humanity. They gotta go.
She's a parasite playing nice because it suits her agenda... For now
Dude you ignored him ignored arquebus
Tbf Sanilteus is sorta forgettable
On my first playthrough, Sea Spider gave me the most trouble. Hardest boss overall for me was Ayre, and I think it was the point where I really got better at the game.
I had to repeat Walter fight, because I accidentally wombo combo'ed him, allowing no chance to heal. I was sure there was a second phase and was baffled seeing it was over. So I changed my build and really appreciated that fight - such a tragic and emotional one.
baltaeus pre nerf took me 5 tries, using just 2 vvc plasma rifles, a plasma missle and the default starter missle, in the middle weight vp422 set with alula and the the heavy vp gen ... i really dont understand why people struggled
I finally beat Allmind when I realized you can just 100% ignore the Sea Spiders as they will just die going into the final phase no matter what. My first attempt I took them both out thinking theyd be sticking around, and I didnt have enough juice to finish it with Allmind after- but it was all in all a fun one. I hated the spinning wheels more than the bosses in this game lol
The one I was stuck on the longest was the sea spider 😂
Balteus went from panic to my testing dummy
McGuffin like substance??? Is my favourite line.
Ibis was my favorite fight, it was the one fight I couldn’t just tank leg mini gun to death. I still haven’t quite found my build for this fight but I hope to because it truly is fun. All mind Iguazu is only hard because of sheer numbers, I tank mini gunned and needle launched each down one by one on my 2nd attempt.
you notice the ibis-quebeley link but not the enforcer-Doven wolf one? sorry if i sound salty its one of my favourite mobile suits
Cel 240 and the enforcer are my favorite bosses to fight! I am addicted to shotguns.
off topic but i think the Patches trope in AC6 is in the level with the smart cleaner at the end?
there's a huge crucible with molten metal and when you jump into one pipe you get ambushed by the credit-hungry AC next to the chest with the hidden part. if you jump into the pipe on the opposide site you find an AC in there that even gives you a log
Cataphract was the first time i took off my tank treads. Not sure what you mean its forcing you to use them.
I had the exact opposite experience from Balteus to C-Spider. Aside from Iguazu, C-Spider caused my most deaths on my first run.
Iguazu got so mad he became an actually difficult boss
I found the enforcer trivial, just steamrolled him in a matter of seconds
I didn’t even think of it as a boss fight. It’s the invisible snipers with him that are the biggest threat-and they go down fast once you find them.
@@XenobearsYou’re thinking of the wrong fight.
The hardest boss for me was the actual Raven in the new game encounter you have. I was good with the mechanics but had a shitty build that had decent acs punish but terrible acs break potential and I probably spent 2 hours learning everything the boss could potentially do so I could finally beat Raven and I felt really good that I had done it and then promptly changed my build
They need to release a boss rush mode
I fought ibis with two ducketts and a laser dagger. it was magnificent.
I am on NG++ act 3. Nothing was hard… until freaking Snail at the end of NG+ in his Balteus mech.
Oh my gooood, I went from at max taking 5 tries against stuff like Ibis and Ayre to like 50 tries against Snail. Dude rocked me HARD.
The music and dialogue was hype af but man it felt like such a huge difficulty spike.
Nothing else was remotely that hard. Not done yet but really hoping I don’t refight him.
Have you gotten to the final boss of ng++? That boss is either extremely difficult or pretty easy depending on your build.
@wr5488 Difficulty truly is subjective. Arquebus Balteus was a cakewalk for me. However, I think I spent around four hours on CEL240.
I actually beat analysis my 3rd try with minor tweaking of my build. On the other hand I got my shit kicked for 6 hrs of game play by the C-Spider. I love the fight but that was way more of a filter to me than balteus (until none of my friends could beat it)
Once I learned melee does the most damage to the tutorial boss I literally began farming him for money to spend in the parts shop.
Also yeah it was hard for me first time. I literally never played an armored core or soulslike game. The hardest games i play other than this is probably both the classic and modern doom games on the highest difficulty. And on that subject I'd compare the heli boss in this game to the doomhunter or marauder from doom eternal
I feel the most challenging boss is Ayre (took me more than 10 tries), but I was hoping Allmind could be more challenging as a ng++ boss (I defeated him in 2 tries, the first try was only 5% hp away)
Did you not get to fight Snail with balteous suit. That boss almost made me brake a controller
G5 Iguazu.
You fight him 5 times.
Coincidence? *I think not!!*
did you just make an AC6 boss review and NOT talk about arquebus balteus and include snail's death scream?
Baltaues scared me for awhile. I tryed him twice, and got through. But at some time i was drunk and high, fucking S ranked him. Dont know how, just booted up the game and S rank ad i was going through mission to warm up. Fucking wild.
The c spider is harder than balteus
With smart cleaner you can use plasma weapons and just hit it from far away. You never need to come close to it. I feel the copter is much harder because it can fly out of bounds, so it’s all about the rng of what it decides to do.
You think it’ll ignore the armor like bypass through once use plasma weapons?
@@aoiminase yes that’s how I beat it my first try’. You can just shoot it from across the Arena
@@alcoyot have you ever tried to use vertical missiles on smart cleaner? Hitting on her back?
@@aoiminase I did try that but I wasn’t able to get it to work for me. I’m sure if you’re a better player you could get it to work.
Ironically enough I had a harder time with the sea spider than balteus
How to beat the ice worm pile bunker and stun needle. That's it
FINALLY! Someone else who caught the Ice Worm/Dune reference & the Enforcer/Dark Souls reference. I literally thought I was the ONLY one.
Balteus was never difficult. I literally took a break before fighting him on my 1st playthrough to go in with a clear head & prepare myself for a tough fight. 6 tries & he was beat. I no longer trusted the community about anything & refuse to update the game since I don't want an easy boss easier. In no way shape or form was he a filter making you change your buid.
You are WAY OFF about Ayre. WAY OFF!
Isnt it Hypocritical to say " Balteus fight teaches you to make the correct builds to fit your encounter " and a bit later state about the Ibis fight " Cowards build double needles and heavy build "???
The comments section here, and the veritable outcry at the Ayre 'psycho ex' reference, demonstrates how much better other people understand the lore than me...
17:24 "ayre is a more difficult version of the ibis series" that's a cap. the ibis series almost made me QUIT while it took me 5 attempt to kill ayre
12:21 enforcer, persuer, penetrator
I am Ibis blade of Rubicon and I jave never known defeat... 😂
But did you know THE SPICE IS PEOPLE
After an update - every meaningful boss is sad and easy tbh. Well, if you are able to enjoy some pure estatics - you probably will like some of those bosses. Skill-wise - those are mediocre af even with non-meta builds (recent buffs for AC parts + recent nerf to those great (pre-patch) bosses). After completing 3 endings at my bought currect version of this game, I had to download the old one from some torrents - well, it is what it is, yet, I love those devs who are not going for "online-only" formula, I ll give them that :D
Some of that inate hatred towards women is showing trough, might wamna re-upload after editing
The smart cleaner gets filtered by the player if the player goes in with the quad legs and just hovers over it the whole time, maybe landing once to recharge energy lol.
The first helicopter boss... Wasn't difficult? Yaaa, I breezed through most bosses in the game easily EXCEPT the first boss. The locked build and combination of cheap tactics like flying out of bounds made this boss feel out of place. I would say arguably harder than Balteus since you have a better handle of the controls by then and a much better build.
The sea spider gave me a close amount of death counts as Baller Tay Us. Took me a long time to figure out that more armor was not the answer. Built a pure snider build and ripped them both apart using duel sweet sixteen, laser slicer, and split missile launcher.
None of my friends will play this game. They all believe the game is "hard just for the sake of being hard" . Suggesting that it's difficulty doesn't come from natural and creative challenges, but is rooted in forced difficulty injected into it because it's FromSoft.
Not sure if you're saying it this way to save time for the video, but saying that Ayre went psycho is a gross over-simplification. The things she spoke of, the things she wants and values are all things you knew by this point already. That shared life she spoke of is how Coral making contact with humans to live in symbiosis. And besides, you'd probably get pretty angry and worked up too if someone decided they were going to genocide your entire family/species.
My most challenging fight was definitely SALTeus. He damn near filtered me out of the game, which was shameful bc I've been playing AC since gen 1. I couldn't quite get the hang of the controls yet, and that mixed with an early game build Balteus was s nightmare...and this was pre-patch so he abused the missiles and grenade launcher. After several days of attempts I finally beat him - since then I've never lost to him again and I make it a point to clap his cheeks aggressively whenever I do the watchpoint mission lol.
Very surprised to learn Balteus is considered a filter.
Pre-Nerf Balteus + players who've yet to learn how to properly dodge missiles.
Very surprised you didn't know that the community cried about a very easy boss.
@@njmontano1625
He's always pre nerf for me. I refuse to update the game.
My first and only boss wall is PCA Warrant Officer. Well because NO FREAKING CHECKPOINT, and room itself quite small and lots of mini obstacles like mini ledge stopped your momentum, finally since im completionist i have to fight Ring Freddie too on first playthrough.
The combo the HC’s can pull off is broken, if you get staggered there is a 60% chance you are going to die
Sad you consider that a boss.
Balteus, reg 1.0, 10-15 try's, platinumed the game week after it came out, everyone calls IBIS a Malenia of AC6? She is weaker than Ornstane and Smogh of AC6.
personally I don't think that the bosses after balteus are easier, they feel easier because balteus has taught you how to read and counteract patterns, as well as giving you a lot more parts to fiddle with. I think a player with pre balteus skill and gear couldn't beat sea spider or even smart cleaner
Balteus taught me nothing. Too easy for a boss.
Coming from AC5VD into this... the first boss took me a long time. I never played dark souls and the mechanics were utterly foreign to me compared to VD. After that most of the bosses I just face hugged with shotties with exceptions to Allmind and Sea Spider.... 2nd and 3rd playthroughs were... rough on the AI. I played before the nerfs/buffs and most of the bosses just melt on your 2nd and 3rd time through.
The boss I had the hardest time with was the damn worm... the timings and angles sucked along with the SLOW AF firing rate of the stun needle. I died so many times just because I messed the timing of the needle up and it took learning of the timings... to beat it. Subsequent replays were done in 1-2 tries with moderate irritation.
Shotties+Stun needles pretty much melted most things...
SALTeus caused a tonne of trouble for new players and/or fresh playthroughs.
Not to brag but I beat balteus with only a pistol n shotgun.
balteaus was overtuned. his health and missle tracking was nerfed and i think he's better placed after that. sea spider also had a health nerf and became easier to stagger in that first big patch. he was kinda over nerfed imo
The issue with balteus is that it fails to communicate it's weakness to players. Most bosses has a very obvious weakness or is outright told to the player by the npcs. Juggernaut and it's back, the cleaner and it's bright glowing weak spots, etc. But balteus, they tell you nothing, they show you nothing. It's telling the player to think for themselves, which basically a recipe for a lot of salt.
One simple line from Ayre, saying "balteus is weak in the ass" or making it wear a glowing red butt plug would have made the whole fight a cake walk for most players.
You clearly never listened to the dialogue
@@joewas2225 Quote it then. It's been half a year and I ain't gonna look it up.
But pretty sure the dialogue doesn't involve "get under it's ass and beat the shyt out of it".
