Out of all the people in the game that I expected to be the big bad, I sure as hell wasn't expecting Iguazu. Totally expecting Allmind though.
well it is alll mind but all mind doest have the skill of a pilot so she used Iguazu
@@parisgiovanos766 Nah, Iguazu was just that salty from the very first time he was defeated by the player. his skill issue surpassed new games
Skill issue transcended timelines.
@@OgrynGrindsetWhat a butterfly effect lol. Who knew that dunking on some bozo from the Chapter 1 Dam mission will result in SkyNet and Cosmic Horror
@@mukash1838I laughed that you kick his ass to the point he quits in NG+, and just flat out realized this guy is so much worse in NG++ as he takes the vendetta to the absolute furthest he can
The way Iguazu just silences both a hyperintelligent Leviathan-from-Exoprimal-type AI and a coral being piloting a cutting-edge AC suit with what I imagine was sheer spite and willpower was something that got my blood pumping.
Iguazu may be whiny, but his determination to kill you is something I can't help but respect.
Iguazu could've easily been the MC if this was a shonen anime.
And this was just a COPY of Iguazu. A simulation.
@@justletmecomment6453I think it was actually him
@@serraramayfield9230No it was a copy, he died when we killed Snail in the Alt. Mission
@@CoolDude5633554 And where is this stated
Iguazu, the man who never understood skill issue.
"Gen 4 is a good of a pedigree as any other"
@@Plight_ it just tells us that the augmentations only improve one's existing potential. That doesn't mean much if the existing potential was bad to begin with. Pater Rusty and even Ayre have a small potential. Raven's potential is high enough that gen 4 augmentation was sufficient
@@Artaxerxes.Yeah but Ayre is literally a being with limitless potential, the only reason we win against her is because she lacks any form of practical combat experience, about Rusty and Patter they are good we are just better
@@Artaxerxes.Kinda makes me like him even more. He had no potential but still managed to become the final boss. He shouldn’t have been able to amount to anything but his hatred towards his own inability and us as the perfect freelancer brought him to new heights, power far beyond what he should have been able to reach. And yet despite all that he still fails because that’s what he does, he’s a failure. Great character, if there is a dlc I hope we get more of him.
@@AyameAkito that's nonsense. If her potential was limitless she wouldn't have to leach onto Raven in the first place. She's a rubiconian ghost who has been a victim all her life
I was honestly expecting the whole "ai turns on you because you are not useful anymore" but having Iguazu is essentially pull a "Syndrome" from the Incredibles who you don't take seriously be the true final boss is done pretty well, especially when you realize how many missions involve Iguazu.
Lets see, 2 dam missions, 1 mission in rad, 1 in ice worm, 1 in underground exploration, 1 near coral convergence point. 6 mission total.
@@dhruvo100he's in there almost as much as Rusty.
I thought of his less as a mastermind and more like what the skull kid is to Majora
The AI didnt turn on you because "you weren't useful anymore" Allmind turned on you because she wanted to use your connection with Ayre to take over Coral and Humans both
@@dhruvo100isn't he one of the failed climbers in wallclimber too? Also, 2 in underground exploration, he sends cold call after you.
So, 8 missions, and his whiny dms. Either way, he's on par with rusty or exceeding him.
"Local Sewing Club Memeber Literally Too Angry To Die."
He never did stich his mouth shut.
Reminder that he sacrificed his humanity because he was salty
Salty that you seemingly had freedom and choices, while he didn’t.
I REJECT MY HUMANITY, JO-I MEAN RAVEN!
@@OtomostheCrazyHe seemed pretty free when he overpowered AllMind. If it wasn’t for the fact that he was Iguazu the fandom would have loved him. Unfortunately most people can’t handle the fact that someone in a game doesn’t like them so everyone hates him . Great character 10/10 I hope we get to see more of him even though I know that most likely won’t happen.
@@samnunnink7575 In fairness, Freedom after dying isn’t exactly what a lot of people like. XD
@@OtomostheCrazy True. He didn’t seem to care though, as long as he could prove himself by killing you.
I beat the fight first try. Things were kinda starting to go south near the end but I managed to channel my inner "am I really about to lose to Iguazu?" and won
that is the most perfect thing ive ever heard, you fucking shonen character
I knew I was getting into a fight, so I pulled out my tanky gun boy but swapped one of the machine guns with Redshift so I could end it with a blade by my side
Fucking mood bro
I had 0 repair kits and like 60% ish health when he still had like 40%hp (both sea spiders were gone) and then Ayre was also gone and suddenly my brain just went 'aint no way im losing to this fool, I've never lost to him once'
My first time ambushing v.ii snail and iguazu jumps in, he ended up kill stealing snail from me. My first thought was: damn snail you got killed by iguazu that kinda cringe.
LOL same
Guy has a serious problem with freelancers
Its crimson 1
G5 Iguazu from Balam,right?
@@ahmadhadi177thats him yeah. Guy holds a grudge lol
@@fellicojelisarrivera8434 It's Crimson 1, but if he was much greener than in Project Wingman x3 and without the nukes
not too fond of freelancers
Crazy to think Iguazu is completely forgettable in your 1st playthrough or if you don’t betray him.
Yeah like wtf who is he, totally don't remember from my 1st playthrough
Yeah like wtf who is he, totally don't remember from my 1st playthrough
Yeah like wtf who is he, totally don’t remember from my 1st playthrough
Yeah like wtf who is he, totally don’t remember him from my 1st playthrough
Not my fault, UA-cam does this thing sometimes
Everyone kind of got absorbed by All Mind at the end via the coral so technically everyone is still around once everyone became one with the coral. That means Iguazu can try to get his run back for all eternality.
If Iguazu shows up again in any form I’ll be happy. He’s easily my favorite character from the game.
Rusty buddy!
Iguazu is honestly one of my favourite characters, he is so fucking funny
@@LowIntSpecimen He’s great. I find him funny and sad at the same time.
@@samnunnink7575 His story is sad, but the fact that he runs entirely of spite to the point where he evolves from forgettable side character in NG to the final fucking boss in NG++ is hilarious
ALLMIND planned to uplift humanity by using Coral Release to create a collective hivemind. We can see how flawed her plan is by the fact that Iguazu managed to rebel against her at the second phase. Ayre realized that it's impossible to separate individuality from humanity so in the ending she used Coral Release to create symbiosis between the Coral and Humanity.
Kinda reminds me of the synthesis ending a bit from Mass Effect 3.
So basically, you turn every human in the universe into a schizophrenic with this ending.
Considering how crazy Iguazu went hearing voices, this has to be the most chaotic ending on a big scale lol.
The "Shut up !.... I'LL SHUT YOU ALL !!" moment truly is incredible, it made me shiver ngl. That's one of the best sentences a boss said imo.
Really sums up his character too. He just wants to be respected, not laughed at or seen as worthless. He wants the respect that we as a character got and that’s why he hates us so much. He just wants people to stop laughing at him and he’s going to do that by proving himself better than us. But he can’t, he fails again and again. This hatred towards us, his own incompetence, and the people that tease and humiliate him finally reached the tipping point in this moment. He’s a character that only knows rage and that rage drives away anyone that could ever learn to respect and care for him. Even at his end that last words said to him is that he was a mistake. Tragic character, 10/10 want more of him in the future even though that most certainly won’t happen.
@@samnunnink7575 And it's even worse for him because he's also Gen 4 like Raven. It's one thing for the latest gen augmented human pulling off all of this but someone who's the exact same gen makes our character unbearable for Iguazu.
@@gabem3251 He’s such a great character. Unfortunately people overlook him because he was rude to them.
@@samnunnink7575 EXACTLY, that's what i felt at this precise moment, everything, all of his character sums up in that moment
@@abyssano78 Great character, great moment, and great boss.
I genuinely love Iquazus character so much. I liked him from the beginning but thought he would be limited to a side character that we would kill in a meaningless fight. And thats what he was. But the hatred that he felt towards us because of that was so strong that it took over an AI god and managed to mess everything up. Because in the end thats what Iguazu is, a failure, and he hates it. I don't think he ever truly hated us as a person but hated us because we represented everything he wanted to be and couldn't achieve. His hatred towards us was just a manifestation of the hate he felt towards himself being so useless. The only one who even shows him a little bit of respect is Michigan, and thats only when he isn't around. Iguazu has been broken down, humiliated, and disregarded. All alone in the world he was tormented by voices in his head that started driving him mad, until eventually he was killed by us, disregarded and humiliated yet again. His anger towards us and his own incompetence is so great that he was the only one to have any sense of self. Not Walter or Carla or even Snail. It was the good for nothing Iguazu, with only anger so great that it could over power AllMind. And even with all that he failed. Because thats what Iguazu is. A failure.
He's Zinaida if she absolutely sucked.
Damn
oof cold
He never overpowered Allmind
Allmind let him pilot the craft because he was a *nihilistic piss baby* with no care for the turnout
@@maniacalmurderer4123 She let him pilot it because he was a better pilot than her. And he broke free of her hive mind control, so yes, he did overpower her.
Oh shit I just realised Ayre is rocking Moonlight, truly our mecha waifu.
We love Ayre
It's not moonlight. (Its something different)
There is a blue and red version of that sword. The blue version is thicker like the starting sword. The red one is thinner. Both release waves
Guees you can say Ayre has Sunblade
@@Rubhen925 Oh my bad sorry i thought ayre's sword attacks were different then the sword i thought.
"Alea iacta est" means the die is cast in latin
Meaning - a point of no return
Equals to the meaning of the phrase "Cross the Rubicon".
Does this make 621 Julius Caesar?
@@ltl9009 he(621) will lead humanity and coral into a new future
It's crazy how the 3 characters helping you through the game end up as Final bosses
It was so cliche and with the obvious build up I saw it coming a mile away. What I *didn't* see coming was a tripple cliche, each leaning more heavily into an overused trope than the last! I kinda don't even know what to make of it.
If this was the case it would have been Rusty that is fighting you. Iguazu was being a salty ass the entire time.
@@larrymunn5279 nobody asked
@@holdnitdown Aww sorry I offended you but I don't care. lol
@@larrymunn5279 bro channeling his inner iguazu energy so hard
I was okay to skip the credits sequence on my first 2 playthroughs. But after the cathartic defeat of ALLMIND and Coral Release finally happening, alongside the deaths of almost everyone you knew, and after hearing that final "Main System: Activating Combat Mode", I just let the credits roll. That feels like a true ending.
I was the exact same, I was just floored and let the credits play. And then at the end when it just played the trailer theme, fucking awesome! And we got sequel bait at the end, thank god
@@rancor2004oh shit I skipped after the song ended, what was the sequel bait?
@@alwest4472 It wasn't at the end of the credits it was the last cutscene, with Ayre saying let's see where this new adventure takes us, and then the screen cutting to black and ayre saying 'combat mode engaged' clearly saying oh this is gonna be continued somewhat
@@rancor2004 ah ok yeah.
Same ! That fight was awesome
Iguazu and Crimson 1 are the same. Both hates the MC, both came back for more, both lost against the MC when they have a superweapon in their hands.
And 621 and Ayre is just the Armored Core equivalent of monarch and Prez
this time this version of prez can fight
Is it safe to say that Armored Core 6 is what Project Wingman wished it was? 🤔
He's Evangel 2.0, right down to merging with the big bad of the game.
@@gnw_AstAnaw both is good
"Main system: Activating combat mode"
wuh oh
To all the people wondering why Iguana out of the other pilots is because he is the only surviving/known gen 4 pilot with other one being 621.
Gen 4 are the ones infused with Coral, later generations were implied to not use or use the least amount of Coral.
And 621's unique situation caused him to synce with Ayre while Iguazu was implied to had botch gen4 augmentations (caused it was just to settle debts or something) and only hear weird ringings and random voices which also happens everytime he's in 621 vacinity or something.
So Iggy was all Allmind had to complete her "plan" while the other option (621) would change factions just for some COAM or corallussy.
Yep. If you pay real close attention to the table that all mind brings up when talking about how the project needs an exceptional augmented human? Only 4 red names, and you can literally spot yourself in the 4th column. Other red id in gen 4 has to be iguazus, c4-769.
The other red names being gen 1 and gen 3, c1-249 and c3-291...
Sulla, keefe? There isn't many old gen pilots around.
@@FFKonokoSulla was Gen 1, Keefe was Gen 2, and Dolmayan was either 3 or 2. Iguazu and 621 were Allminds best options for merging
I just want to take a moment of silence to recognize your strategic use of the contextually fabricated word "corallussy." We know what you meant and it is appreciated. I will, likely, spend time during the remainder of my social gatherings looking for a way to "insert" corallussy into the conversation; wherever it fits... This will replace my promise to a dying friend to legally use the word "abreast" around as many women as I could. I hope to pass this legacy down to my son one day. Thank you 62FUN. That is all.
@@FFKonokoagree with reply above. Gen1 probably Sulla bcs he is opposing Walter's plan and somehow appears in Coral watchpoint explosion before we meet Ayre. The gen3 also dolmayan bcs he could hear coral voice since long ago
I oughta punch you for coralussy
There is so much really good, subtle sound design in this game like Iguazu’s radio losing all the static when he says “it’s all clear now, i feel good”
4:40 I thought this was a quick time event and blasted right as blew up. It felt very satisfying after all the attempts even if it didn’t matter
wait it wasn't a quick time event?
@@daddyjojo9258 no it wasnt
@@daddyjojo9258quick time events in a fromsoftware game would be like pineapple on pizza
my winning attempt at this was using my Guntank cosplay and I just so happened to assault boost to ram Iguazu at the end and it ended up looking so cinematic because my "kick" synced up with the explosion when he's charging at you
@@iagocampus4818There exists an old (and pretty bad) fromsoft game if I remember correctly. That one was loaded with quick time events.
"G5 iguazu ( God's strongest skill issue known to man)"
God Strongest Schizophrenic
This man found a way to channel his own butthurt.
Not unlike AI art, ALLMIND gathered data on all AC pilots so it could make an approximation pilot, the Mind series (Alpha, Beta, Gamma)- this what I think Kate Markson is. But At the end it switched to copying minds of pilots to use them instead (Walter fighting exact copies of the Vespers). It is hinted a couple of times in the game that there is something in human pilots that always outperforms AI, which I think ALLMIND realized at the end, hence why Iguazu takes command, maybe because he's the same generation as us, or because his hatred towards us would motivate him more. And to think this is the exact thing that led to ALLMIND defeat- its inability to understand and control humanity, leading to it relying on a human as its champion, who then broke free of its control and lost the battle. Humanity turned out to be both better and worse than the AI.
and then you transcend humanity or something idk
V.I Freud also says something about AI pilots being predictable when he destroys Chatty Stick in mere seconds in the Fires of Raven ending.
@@jakestandifer1756 Exactly right. The closest comparison I can think of is meta builds. It doesn't matter the game, meta builds are designed to be the most "optimal", but it makes them very easy to predict. They play one specific way, and can't adapt or improvise. In AC6 PVP, you can take one look at somebody's build if it's a meta build and basically know whether or not you can win the fight.
And LLM's are the same way. They can't deviate from their training data. They can't take in new information in real time, and any inherent biases, whether unintentional or not, cannot be undone. I was reading recently about a movie company that had hired on some AI prompters as concept artists and the like, only to later fire all of them and institute a company-wide ban on hiring prompters. Because like the LLMs themselves, the prompters didn't actually understand what they were making and couldn't iterate or adapt. Given the task of creating a scene, they would manufacture more variations than anybody else, and do it faster. But, if you told them, "I like this one, but get rid of the people in it" they couldn't understand what you wanted. They could spit out a bunch more images of forests or whatever, but they couldn't give you the first one again with the people removed. They manufactured content, but couldn't actually create or refine.
I was genuinely surprised it was him. Never have I felt like the protagonist in a story that just keeps innocently forgetting about the dude that absolutely wants him dead the most. I can’t think of a comparison but it’s absolutely a thing. At first I thought it was kind of ridiculous but it’s actually genius if that was the intention. Genuinely hilarious that we fight this guy more than anyone yet I’d imagine Raven screaming “you?!” At the start of this fight
Kind of makes me think of syndrome from the pixar's the incredibles actually lol
He’s a great character. I absolutely love everything about him from what we see to what we can derive about him. If we do end up getting a dlc or sequel I hope we get more of him.
It's still ridiculous, out of all the ace pilots that allmind could have used it choice that one loser from the red guns that really good at throwing a tantrum. But heh, anything to subvert expectation.
@@venom0825 I don’t think AllMind chose him. I think what it was is that he simply had the strongest drive out of all the people integrated. It wasn’t AllMinds choice, it was the overwhelming power of human emotions, something an AI could never understand. Also the fight was foreshadowed all the way back in the first play through, yes it subverts expectations but it’s not like it comes out of nowhere.
@@samnunnink7575 allmind out right say, he was a mistake. Everything you just said is your own head canon.
"The freelancer who had it all" that always gets me
The only thing that would make this fight even better would be after Iguazu shuts out ayre and all mind, it changes from referring to him as all mind and put his name back up when he is talking.
Allmind 2nd phase armor has some serious Gundam vibes for some reason.
no it doesn’t
the mech design is giving off some Kanetake Ebikawa and Eppei Gyoubu feels.
Sadly we cant play it
@@AFansPerspectiveidk. It looks like a juiced Zaku with a weird headpiece.
Yes it does, some Banshee psychoframe storm vibes and then some.
Montage time
Xylem has begun its decent
_This AC isn’t just for show!_
There’s so much coral focused here, will it overload? Wait it’s resonating?
“Mankind’s dream, mankind’s future. You’re it’s result. That’s why I must kill you … RAVENNNNNN”
I love this particular video because of where Iguazu’s kickass “I’LL SHUT YOU ALL UP” line comes in. You’ve got Ayre cheering on Raven and AllMind pestering Iguazu to finish the fight while 621 is actively blasting him and those weird sea spiders things are flying around. There’s so much noise all around him and Iguazu’s pent up frustration just explodes, and for just a moment it’s silent as he and 621 resume their battle.
That was a pretty cinematic takedown! The way his dialogue blended together at the end sounded like he was conceding defeat before the fight was even over, and the way those missiles hit his core right before he charged you made it seem like they destroyed his generator.
4:30 EXCUSE ME?
Is he refers to veteran AC players? God he's so meta
He's reffering to the fact that Raven is gen 4 augmented human, while the latest augmentation is gen 10. But also probably a meta reference to AC veterans
Iguazu malding so hard he brute forced his way into being the secret final boss with sheer willpower and saltiness alone
The guy gets so pissed over his skill issue that he actually shocks ALLMIND with his sheer anger right as the final phase starts, I don't really like how Iguazu being in the mech basically comes out of nowhere but the entire last phase is great
Not really. He's been complaining about a voice in his head for the past two playthroughs, and even in this one, and they foreshadow him being in Allmind by having Walter and Carla mention that they're fighting drones that mimic basically every pilot on Rubicon. And he's not in the mech, he's one of the consciousnesses that Allmind downloaded; it's just that he's the most intense one.
@@tridonstrident6785So intense that he can overpower all mind. Truly his hatred towards us, his own inability, and the people that humiliate and mock him knows no bounds.
@@samnunnink7575 his skill issue transcends an all-powerful AI
@@tridonstrident6785 He’s so bad at being good he loops back around to being good but is still bad. Very interesting power scaling for this character.
If you go back and check all his dialogue you realise it was actually heavy implied he had something to do with ALLMIND. So skill issue on your behalf when it comes to reading or media literacy.
I was playing these last few levels with a friend in a call. I had guessed Allmind would be the final boss but my friend joked that what if Iguazu came back for one last hurrah. We both had a good laugh. We then proceeded to freak the fuck out when it actually happened.
Seeing the wrecked ACs of Carla and Walter genuinely startled me.
For me, the best part was when Ayre came to support with her own AC 🤩
this game is so good
Imagine being able to mindbreak an ai mastercomputer and a sentient pulse wave waifu through the power of malding.
Why Iguazu? WHY!!?!?! YOU had it all. You had a great team who showed fear into the eyes of the enemy. You had fame and fortune. You had a great friend. You had somewhat of a mentor (G1 Michigan) You were doing just great.
But instead, you had to throw it all away. WHY!?!?! All because of a freelancer with no name. All because this freelancer was better than you.
Which hurt your pride. You were consumed by anger and jealousy. You made a deal with Allmind just cause you want to destroyed the freelancer who took everything from you.
Let me ask you THIS QUESTION!!!!!
Was it worth it?
The game Armored Core 6 is our Coral Release. Now Ravens, people who know about and play the Armored Core franchise, are everywhere and anywhere.
6:00 No Arye, it`s kinda horrorfying
I like how one Core Theme of the Armored Core Series was a subversion of the Humanity controlling an AI to powerful for them.
Because instead, it was an AI controlling a Human too powerful for them.
Just finished this fight. Absolutely EPIC. This game is a masterpiece. Never imagined Iguazo was going to hate us so much until reaching that point. The story is amazing and has a really deep meaning, in several aspects. The gameplay is one of the best I've played in my entire life. It reminded me why I love video games.
4:40 bro really pulled a placidusax on us
Out of all the boss fights, this was the one I enjoyed the most. The sheer spectacle of things like the Ice Worm, Balteus V.II, or even the other final bosses, was awesome, but something about this one was just absolutely insane.
My favorite in my entire 3rd playthrough was 2:42. I actually jumped out of my seat in excitement.
I haven't played all the AC games yet, but for me, this one is easily up there with FA, VD, and LR. 10/10
When I beat him I had less than 100 health and no more repair kits so when he pulled out his laser claw during his death animation I swear to god my heart stopped
Iguazu in your first playthrough is like a sassy lost child that chases you around
Kinda. Iguazu like many other redguns pilots are criminals given a second chance through military service. He doesn't truly want to fight.
He finds Michigan annoying.
You show up and steal the show. You climb the wall his friend died climbing you get hired for an opposing job and beat his ass. then his company loses the war.
He's a broken man. Makes sense that he's blaming you
@@Plight_ you know it was a joke right? Not a serious statement.
@@Yes-ly1nx show iguazu some respect gen 4 is as good of a pedigree as any other lol
he is the random in apex who yell at the mic after they solo jump and died
@@Plight_i respect all gens equally but not iguana
Iguazu is very sad character. Guy is so filled with insecurity and hatred that can't even see or don't want to see that Raven is extremely hard-working and determined just like him. It never was easy and never for free for us, Balteus won't let me lie here. I never saw Iguazu as my enemie, only as a guy with very strong and harmful (for himself) obsession with Raven
From Software are just one of the best gaming studio ever, from just simple game as mech fights, they can do really intruging story while it being pretty easy and not deep. Thing that u can fihish a game 3 times to get that ending is just awesome. It feels like Nier Automata once again, but a lot faster to do and without enemies getting stronger in NG+
Practically every AC boss you kill in the game is subsumed into ALLMIND and iguazu is such a hater that his will to kill you managed to surpass all of theirs,ALLMIND included
In a way, it seems ALLMIND finally achieved what arquebus wanted. The lethality of a piloted AC, without a pilot
Guys I don´t know if you noticed that but Iguazu is a clear reference to 9 Ball. he called us Irregular like 9 Ball did in the first game. He also said that he died more than once soo we can "garantee" that at one point he became one with AllMind not even in the end game but maybe when we fight him in the mission of Depth 2 he became one with AllMind. Im saying this considering that when we met him for the first time, he didnt say anything about the sound in his head but in Depth 2 he start to hear voices.
ALLMIND is Hustler One. Iguazu is Evangel/Stinger
Raven didn't have Ayre with him when you first meet Iguazu. That's why he doesn't hear her.
local man is too angry to be mind controlled by AI
Iguazu really is just 'the spot' of this game
A really powerful AI that wants to get rid of anyone against the system being the true final boss.
Yeah, ALLMIND is Nineball in all but name.
Also, holy shit, Iguaze, calm the fuck down, son.
Nahhh...They're IBIS from silent line.

@@AnatoliasAce3341 yeeeeessss
Of all the mercenaries to pick as a pilot allmind knew the only one filled with enough viscousness and wrath against you to stand in a fight was this broken angry man
I always love the final “I’ll support you, raven”. The entire game she’s been our closest ally, in a very literal sense. Giving help, information, tactical stuff basically. But here she finally is, shoulder to shoulder, “I’ll support you” takes on a greater meaning of course, but also, it’s like she’s acknowledging you’re going to be the one to do it, this isn’t an equal partnership in terms of piloting ability. She’s been jn your head she’s had a front row seat for every mission. She knows you’re capable, she just needs to help you over the finish line.
Awesome Ending! Very Picturesque!! Well done. Worth the background pic.
This really have the vibe of DRAGON QUEST 11 where you find out that it's actually the prequel of all the games before.
I'm hoping for remakes of the old games lol hopefully I'd still be alive to witness it.
I'm ngl, I didn't realize that was Iguazu for a hot minute, I thought it was the original Raven inside of ALLMIND.
"You killed me... more than once" Does he know???
Well, you did decimated him on the dam and that time you helped Carla clearing out the hacking drones
"The Coral has carried us. Disseminated us across the stars. Now we are everywhere. Anywhere."
So did we just become Newtypes?
all that work we did for ALLMIND in ng+2 and she still betrays you to someone who couldnt take the L with dignity and move on.
ALLMIND is for the mecha intergalatic highway and iguazu is a simp!
alea iacta est: has the happiest tone of the three endings, final shot is you facing the most beautiful sky in the entire game with ayre, together, into the new world. has by far the happiest and most triumphant song in the game playing during the credits.
some people: this is clearly the worst possible ending, humanity is wiped out, we have to commit genocide to stop this
Coral has the potential to propagate infinitely in a vacuum, according to one of the logs. It's a collective, conscious entity that absorbs or destroys other conscious life. It's not just humanity; it's all sentient life that may exist in our galaxy.
Consider Halo's Flood, or Dead Space's "Brother Moons". Both are collective conscious that propagates through assimilation of biological material, both are sentient, living creatures, both can absorb aspects of host consciousness, and both do so to the detriment of all other life. Coral is extremely similar, yet even more dangerous due to its ability to self replicate.
Call it genocide if you'd like, but imagine the tens of trillion of lives throughout our galaxy that stand to be forcibly assimilated or perish. One planet is nothing compared to the loss of a galaxy.
Don’t pretend a Fromsoft game has any form of happy ending.
This is just happy from Ayre’s perspective, do you think the rest of humanity wants to join a werid red goop hive mind?
@@Ikcatcher we have no reason to believe it's a hive mind. in fact, i would say it implies that everyone's still an individual, with allmind trying to make a hive mind that she controlled. fromsoft games have also definitely had endings where the world is left in a better place than it was at the start of the game.
It's not a hive mind, everyone keeps their individuality and free will, but instead of bodies they're now inside AC's i believe, that or they all became augmented like raven
I got the impression this ending was just essentially a restart to the world. That last line about combat systems implies that everyone starts fighting again. The "best" FS endings are typically the ones where you burn the world because it ends the cycle.
The shot at 3:14 is so fucking amazing.
Finally came to this and beat it. Igauzu is practically a reincarnated Ein Dalton.
Got this ending months ago but still have to rewatch it every now and again. Goosebumps every time, shit is crazy
This may be far fetched, but I wonder if Allmind's mech is powered by Kojima Particles. The mech gives off a green energy which is distinctly different from the red energy of Coral. Kojima particles were also green in color, and out of all the power sources featured in Armored Core games, Kojima is the only power source that could rival Coral. It should be noted that none of the mech's attacks use Coral. Every energy attack is either blue or green, which is just like laser and Kojima weaponry from 4th Gen. Allmind also doesn't seem to be interfaced with Coral since she says, "Ayre. Your siblings will surely welcome us." She doesn't actually know, she just assumes that will be the case. As for Kojima contamination, Allmind doesn't have to worry about that since the fight is in space. Also Allmind's mech prepares for battle you can also see blueish green particles around it start to react, which may be a leftover feature that resulted from an attempt to recreate a NEXT, but wasn't able to fully recreate Primal Armor.
I highly doubt it, the moonlight uses green energy but it explicitly is said to use Coral
@@andrewrogers3067 The Moonlight is a light wave blade that uses laser and pulse energy. The Redshift uses coral.
nice thought
While i agree with everything you said I don't think ayre would know whether or not her siblings would welcom them either. So far all coral besides the C-mutations seem to have very simple thoughts usually along the lines of protecting themselves, it's probably only after the release and subsequent integration with humans that they'll probably start thinking more complex things.
@@azure4622You might be right, and I never actually claimed that Ayre would know whether or not her siblings would welcome them either, but it might not even matter anyways since the Coral always tries to do three things: gather, reproduce/expand, and protect itself. Ayre's goal wasn't to have the Coral welcome her and 621, it was to trigger the Coral release, which is in line with the Coral's natural behavior.
This mission is a HARD one (As befitting the true final boss of a FROM game), so let me give anyone here some advise from personal experience on how to make it manageable:
⚪️FIRSTLY, almost ALL firepower coming your way this battle will be energy based, so picking parts with high energy attack resistance’s is a good start.
⚪️Second, don’t waste to much effort or ammo on the starting posse of lesser AC’s. If you gun for ALLMIND first they’ll despawn come the next phase.
⚪️Phase 1 ALLMIND isn’t that scary, and there are certainly more dangerous normal AC’s in the game…
⚪️…Until you hit phase 2, and it breaks out the Not-A-NEXT, with 2 modified phase 2 Sea Spiders as backup. Luckily you have Ayre to back you up on a coral based AC herself, and that helps TREMENDOUSLY.
⚪️Start by taking down the bodyguards, preferably while Ayre has ALLMIND’s attention. Charging weapons that cause high amounts of stagger are delightful here, and be share to throw in some boost kicks too. If you have assault armor, wait for them to bunch up, then fly into one of them point blank and blast them both with it. I’m not sure if they despawn during phase 3, and after the disaster trying to fight the original boss was during my last playthrough, I remain too traumatized and angry to find out.
⚪️Anyway, you’ll want to have conserved a good chunk of ammo and at least 2 med packs for phase 3 (If you run dry on ammo, you are NOT going to beat Iguazu in a literal fistfight unless his health is already rock bottom). Iguazu will take full control and banish both ALLMIND and Ayre, leaving it a 1V1. His ranged attacks are of course an issue, but his speed skyrockets, and he gets VERY aggressive with his melee weapons. If you have assault armor on, wait for him to get within instant *_”I’m-Gonna-F-K-You-Now (literally and metaphorically) distance”_* and drop the full brunt of the blast right in his face. That should stagger him immediately if he’s close enough without firing a round. Try to not take any unneeded damage, nd try to finish the fight ASAP before he overwhelms you with his melee blitzkrieg. He’s fast, so try to keep a bead on him and not waste your ammo.
This boss really reminds me of Sister Friede. 2 decently difficult phases that will wittle down your resources, before the insanely difficult phase 3 that you have to do with little healing, and especially in AC6 with little ammo.
I really liked Iguazu haha. He's the few guy that didn't lie from start to finish.
Btw I didn't expect Alea Iacta Est and Rubicon has this level of meaning to it
I think it's a quote that Ceasar said, meaning 'Crossing the Rubicon'.
Thats what google says.
@@snazzydazzyit has a lot of varied meanings depending on who you ask but essentially it means no turning back, or that the dice has rolled and the results are to reap. But yeah it’s connection to rubicon wasn’t something I was expecting.
@zachpipes7452 which makes it really deep, man. Not sure if it made me cry as much as Daddy Walter, but it's definitely deep.
@@snazzydazzy yeah walters ending and Carla’s ending is what I did first. It just made sense but man was it a gut punch to betray Arye like that. But Walter literally brings you back from the dead essentially (twice), gives your life to fight back for, allows you to pilot an ac again, and has your back through almost all of it, while expecting very little in return other than “Got another mission for you raven”.
It just made the most sense to help him because he literally sacrificed so much to bring a Gen 4 back from the dead and had faith in us no matter the circumstance. He was a true friend and it just made sense to finish out his dying wish.
@@Pipes7472 I spent 5 minutes making the choice.
Man was it a hard one.
Just S-Ranked this fight tonight.
We were both down to our last slivers of AP. I was doing the classic dodge, jump, and gun maneuver. Ran out of ammo in my right hand weapon. Pressed the right trigger on reflex. My AC lunged forward and finished Iguazu off with a punch to the head unit.
It was awesome.
Idk about you guys but after Iguazu sent Coldcall after me i was like
"Hold up there HAS to be a mission where I get my come-uppins for that hit on my head"
I wish rusty could join us in this fight man😢
Nice use of charge shot on the Coral rifle 👍🏾 well done Raven
I really wish we could have the final allmind boss armor and weapons lol
While probably don't have everything, I do know we can get the AllMind parts by collecting the battle logs. I've already gotten the AllMind Core, arms, and legs. The only part missing is the head for me.
@kinghyperheart1571 you don't get ANY of the phase 2 allmind stuff
@@kinghyperheart1571 I'm talking about the final boss, phase 2. You don't get that armor or weapons.
@@kobrrafulif im not mistaken, thats the same armor that used by ayre in bad ending except its red instead of grey. Edit: correction, its SOL 644.
@@cheapgaming3252 it's not. The final allmind boss fight for the 3rd ending, uses a unique armor set and weapon set that's not available to the player
I just realized that the core debris on the first few minutes of the scene was from Cinder Carla's AC (Full Course), and the one beneath Iguazu was Handler Walter's (HAL 826).
6:38 You were trying to cross the border, right? Walked into that imperial ambush, same as us, and that thief over there.
So, humanity becomes a hive mind race as ghosts in the machines in the galaxy? Humans are necrons now? 😂😂😂
Please explain
Their body are far more better than human body, this is a blessing
I'm thinking it's more like how things are in Eclipse Phase and Altered Carbon, where people can download themselves into different bodies, which is called "Needlecasting" in Altered Carbon, while also disseminating/activating Coral across a large chunk of at least human-controlled space. If not the entire Galaxy.
not if i can help it, FEED THE FIRE, LET THE LAST CINDERS BURN
No, I believe the ending just means that the humans on Rubicon got transported to other worlds by the coral. So humans that want to live in harmony with the coral are immediately going to war with the rest of humanity.
Fuck, that's why the combat log system exists in-story, and why Allmind rewards you with Allmind brand parts. You're helping her gather data/minds while also eliminating possible obstructions.
So I saw spoiled on this in my recommends like a day or so ago and I was like "sucks but yeah that makes sense" since I was on my NG++ and it seems to be ALLMIND was gearing up to be a main plot now.
But I never in a million years would've guessed Iguazu would be the final boss.
Whenever I saw him in the game I just went "oh ok, he's like the joke character of this game like Patches in a Fromsoft game".
With the way people talked about him in comments weeks ago I also thought he was a recurring Fromsoft character.
The fact that I was spoiled on the final boss but also wasn't makes me love this final conflict.
"My schizo BF was way better than your schizo BF, you backed the wrong horse, ALLMIND"
I think it’s a safe bet to say FromSoftware are masters of their craft. Demon Souls, Dark Souls 1,2 and 3, Bloodborne, Sekiro, Elden Ring Armored Cores and now with Armored Core 6 Fires Of Rubicon, they are a testement of punishing but rewarding. Any time a new game of theirs is announced I’m hyped no matter what
I know that soon PC modding will let us play as the bosses unique AC, but like damb it feels like such a missed mark not getting like all the boss AC for getting the true ending.
Like I would LOVE to reply missions with the Allmind AC or balatus
Ayre is one hell of a fromsoft Waifu.
She either fights you
Fights with you
Or go "we ball" together.
She's probably the most plot proactive "waifu" Fromsoft has ever created.
I finished this fight by catching him with Walter's sword from the back. My energy bar fully depleted, so G5 Incel did his stupid final futile charge at a wierd angle, which i dodge out of (yeah, it's unnesecary, but who cares, it's awesome!) And then proceeded to fly up. The last shot of gameplay is me ascending to the coral release while he falls into the voids of space outside the blasted hell that Rubicon became.
Bruh I knew there is something sus about the “analysis” while I played that during NG+ man!!!
when that last line "Main system: Activating Combat Mode" played I lost my shit, just perfect.
I like how he tries one more time for a hit
beautiful ending, the coral release effect especially.
I have to wonder if it was Allmind’s plan to try to kill us from the start, or if that only became part of Allmind after absorbing Iguazu…
I think Iguazu going AWOL during the Dam mission and finding him in the Watchpoint during the first playthrough are hints that he's up to no good (working under Allmind).
I found that by loading up a biped AC with as many missiles and launchers of different types it could hold, and maximizing missile guidance, I was able to beat it within several attempts.
Listen, of all moments in this masterpiece. Nothing compares to the moment Ayre pulls up to this battle. I was genuinely so excited, I could dominate with my coral waifu alongside me. Unforgettable.
The boss reminds me of AC4A Oldking route final mission
Getting ganged up again is fun
Not quite i say Defend the Dam Complex was more on point its a 3v1, close enough
The music during the Iguazu battle is incredible!
"Main system: Activating Combat Mode"
Goosebumps!!!
AC6 is a Reboot of AC1-2 with mechanics of Gen 3-5. This is a Prequel, so expect an expansion.
yeah a DLC/Sequel is guaranteed at this point. wouldnt be AC game
"My source is that I made it the fuck up"
@@L0rdLexan01 overused
@@naxergss2625 Maybe they should say something that isn't completely baseless then
@@L0rdLexan01 every AC game got a sequel cringy max0r viewers
So... Walter was piloting the HAL. His own personal AC. I wonder if he scavenged it from institute city before the fight, or if he was keeping it secret all along. Either way, the Walter we fight at the end of Ayre's ending isn't himself.
It's also possible he knew of it, or only found it, after the events of the Institute City fight. Keep in mind that you taking out V.II Snail meant he didn't get captured, so during the time skip he presumably was working more directly together with Carla and would have been able to put that sort of thing together.
@@echomjp that’s true, I kinda forget about the time skip. It’s kinda hard to know how much time passes. It doesn’t feel like that long but Arquebus finishes work on the vascular plant so it must have at least been a few days or even weeks. Idk. The whole capture sequence is really hard to understand tbh. Like you either get abducted by the bright light and then all kind wakes you up on the xylem, or you get thrown into a sewer for some reason and they just leave you unguarded to hop in an AC that was left there so you can escape. Tbh how does 621 even get in the AC? I thought they were totally immobile due to the augments
It’s also pretty funny that the voicemail guy says lord Allmind or whatever. Makes it feel like a cult
@@moadsnake104 I figured 621 had just enough of his physical abilities left to be able to crawl along the ground in the prison "escape" scene, and Walter clearly arranged for his escape (how, and why he couldn't save himself too, I don't know). Maybe he knew where 621 would be kept prisoner somehow and had an insider (maybe Carla worked her magic with her minions) prepare the AC and help break him out, but couldn't actually carry him to the AC itself.
A lot of things in the story of this game are kept vague, but I think that's fine.
@@echomjp yeah it’s not really a problem I prefer that it doesn’t get bogged down explaining details that ultimately don’t matter to the story.
So as an oldschool AC fan I can’t help but notice all the ALL MIND tech here has green energy flowing through it, like it’s green colored Coral.
Now I’m not saying it’s Kojima Particles because it’s probably not but…
Or maybe it’s green because it’s stained with Iguazu’s salty envy.
I'm pretty sure green energy here is all mind itself probably an augmented AI through a coral rather than a human being just a theory though.
Yeah, that boss fight is like a war of attrition with chip damage. First you have to deal with slightly different Iguazu and his merry band of 4 munchkins (who happen to be packing emp nukes for some reason💀).
Then you have to work with the cute voice in your head that calls you stud muffin made manifest against local man who is too angry to die and is supported by two pitbulls with jetpacks.
And of course after that you have to fight the angry man (who is too angry to die) who is then revealed to be British with how good he is at stabbing you. Also he managed to mentally overpower an omnipresent Matrioshka Brain with pure hatred. Truly, the human spirit is indeed indomitable. o7
By the way, a Matrioshka Brain is a hypothetical super computer that uses a sun to power its computational powers, and is stronger than a Jupiter Brain, a supercomputer like the Matrioshka, but is instead built around a gas giant. I wanted to put the definition here instead of cramming it inside the joke so that I didn’t take away from its humor.
Ayre will forever be known as the cute little voice in your head that calls you stud muffin.
@@andrewowens4421Agreed.
I really do wonder if Ayre would have been voiced by a clear alien (eg buglike) or complete machine voice, would people still agree about the bad/good/true endings and their labels.
To me it feels like ALLMIND's plan and Ayre's plan is somewhere in between Mass Effect 3 Synthesis ending, which was hated quite a lot
Well, i don't care how she sounds, as long she shows care and sympathy towards the Raven, i am all in helping her
I mean..She's a rubiconian, without body, so technically she is alien.?
Yeah, it's kind of like the ME3 endings, except this game isn't trying to end anything but its own story.
Instead of the overarching plot from 2 previous games, when one of the big talking points was about how all your decisions would matter
Concept boss fight:
C4-621 (LOADER 4 OMEGA)
This boss fight is unlocked after all endings are completed, and requires all arena battles and battle logs collected.
After completeing everything, you will get a special message from ALLMIND about a paradox in it's system. The moment you go to the arena, you will see this entry: S//-01 C4-621. You are so powerful that you surpass the rankings.
The boss fight has far more advanced AI, utilizing everything at their disposal and is essentially fighting a far more skilled version of yourself.
The LOADER 4 OMEGA is a refurbished version of the original LOADER 4. All of the parts are brand new and fresh, evident by its large 6-digit AP, and improved specs as they are more balanced, merely copying the design as an asthetic choice. It utilizes some altered armaments unique to this AC and additional armaments:
It's assault rifle has a higher rate of fire, more damage, and much bigger ammo capacity.
The laser blade is far more dangerous, with an almost guaranteed ACS BREAK in it connects and additional hit follow-up.
The initial 4 missile launcher is replaced with the WS-5001 SOUP.
It gains the ashmead pilebunker (death spike).
Unlike other ACs, it can use all types of expansion.
Oh shit, we’re fighting Crimson One, we-we gotta get Solo Wing Pixy on this guy…
You mean Solo Arm Rusty !
