How to Beat Stone (Chapter 1, Mission 1.6)

Detailed walkthrough for For Honor's Chapter 1, Mission 1.6, 'Beat Stone'. Learn strategies and tips to overcome this challenging mission and progress in the game.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Stone: High health, powerful melee attacks, slow recovery after heavy swings. Weak to precise counter-attacks and environmental traps.

Phases:

1. Phase 1: Stone uses basic melee combos and occasional heavy swings. Focus on learning his attack patterns and dodging effectively.
2. Phase 2: Stone becomes more aggressive, introducing a charging attack and wider sweeps. Maintain distance and look for openings after his charge.
3. Phase 3: Stone's attacks are faster and more relentless. This phase requires precise timing for dodges and parries. Exploit any brief moments of vulnerability.

Strategy:

• Prioritize dodging Stone's heavy attacks. His recovery time after these is your main window for offense.
• Do not get greedy. Land a few hits and then reposition to avoid his counter-attacks.
• If there are environmental hazards (e.g., explosive barrels, collapsing structures), try to lure Stone near them to deal extra damage or stun him.
• Conserve your stamina for dodging and attacking.
• If playing as a character with ranged options, use them during Stone's recovery periods, but be prepared to switch to melee if he closes the distance.
