      What's funny is that most boss fights in this game follow a pattern; you cut the boss' health down to around 50% and the vocals come on, but the Sundowner fight is unique, you need to remove all of his shields before you get the vocals. And as this video shows, if you remove all the shields without doing much damage to his health, he changes tactics.

      It's a shame really, a decent boss ruined by a poorly thought out gimmick.
      Ideally they should have had it so that the shields moved independently and made it impossible to hit him without cutting them off, maybe have it so you force him to block with all of his shields so you can get the Zandatsu prompt?

    THIS is how Sundowner SHOULD be fought. Screw damaging him, get rid of the shields first, THEN go crazy.
    In fact, the fight would miles better if Sundowner was truly invincible in the first phase and you can't damage him until you get rid of all his shields.

    It sucks that sundowner can be beaten so easily by just leaving the shields alone, because in theory this could be a great boss fight which forces you to use blade mode effectively AND be a challenging thrill ride. You rarely see a boss that is both a puzzle boss and a test of your skills both in one, but sundowner had the chance to be one

      My opinion may be unpopular, but MGSR would have been even better if things were a tad slower.
      Not the combat itself, but a boss slowly walking towards you before lunging is not only epic, it also gives you time to think.
      In Dark Souls you can use your stamina to easily evade instead of attacking and studying an enemy's movement.
      In MGSR things escalate so quickly - I walk into an ambush encounter and the fight-or-flight kicks in immediately in miliseconds without even having time to analyse what and how many I am facing. It's an adrenaline kick no other game gives you.

I love the fight with Sam, and that one is probably the best fight, but the fact that the fight with Mistral takes place in three different areas, with a lot of fire and destruction raining around the two of them, I just find it way more intense than any other.

      Close second is Monsoon to me. Just because of how hard he hammers home that you must parry. And you basically being in super mode the whole time.
      Then Armstrong and Sam are super badass, but their fights alone don't feel that epic, bare Armstrong having 200% life.

    On my first run of this game, I played on hard and never bought a Strength upgrade (this wasn't a self imposed challenge or anything, I just never thought to for some reason). I also prioritized breaking Sundowner's shields, because I figured that was the way you were supposed to do it. Under those circumstances, I found the Sundowner fight to be very fun; in fact, when done that way, it's possibly my favorite fight in the game. It's a shame he's such a pushover if you play normally.

    They really should have made his phase with the shield take WAY less damage, so that you would have to learn the mechanic to beat him and also the section with the lyrics would play for longer. It's WAY too easy to have him almost dead by the time the final phase kicks in.

    We need a mod that gives Sundowner three phases like Sam. In shield phase you cannot damage hit because he will parry all your attacks so you must take his shields out. After that phase 2 begins with the standard phase 2 stuff he just has 2 times more hp. Then once he gets to 40 percent he will be even quicker and he will begin to use the pincer blades kind of like how Raiden uses them which means he will have more unblock able attacks. Then once he gets to 5 percent the helicopter scene at the end will happen.

Sundowner has been shown throughout the game and literally your first intro to him he cleaves through a bunch of guards like nothing. I feel like this boss should have 3 phases, one with the shields where he's actual invincible and you need to get them out of the way. The second phase where he simply dual wields his swords where he's faster but doesn't do alot of damage, then his third phase where he goes scissor mode, he's slower but hits like a tank. Just cut the whole section where you have to rid of mechabird up to the top again, that whole section really killed the structure of the boss fight for me.

    Not only his shields are sad, but his health pool is so incredibly small, even if you break them without damaging him you can finish him in 2 combo rotations with ripper mode, also he really does only have like 3 attacks lol

    Just beat the game last night, and I wish someone had told me to just focus the shields, I ignored them and hit him in the back until I won, so it felt super lame.

      Lmao same I beat it recently and the fight went so slow because of that. And I was so confused when I got no cool vocals. So I went online and found out you needed to take out the shields and then I re did the whole chapter just to fight him properly.
