Boss Fight: Alternator
- Stats / Weaknesses: Alternator is a reassembled Dynamo. Weaknesses are not explicitly stated, but close-range combat is recommended.
- Phases: The fight appears to have one main phase, with Alternator using various attacks.
- Strategy:
- Alternator retains old attacks (laser, backhand swing) and has a new Rush Attack. The Tomahawk Chopper assists him.
- Use the same tactics as the Dynamo fight from Chapter 3.
- Be aware that blocking melee attacks will still cause minor health loss.
- Watch out for his lethal Rocket Rush Attack; roll away when he puts his gun down.
- Stay within close range to force him into melee attacks, which are easier to block and counter.
- Block his melee attacks, then roll forward and counter with a hard combo. Repeat this strategy.
Tips
- Purchase Incendiary Shurikens before the Military Gate.
- SAVE your game before entering the Military Gate area, as the next part is difficult.
- Use Explosive Arrows (purchased from Muramasa) to easily defeat the three Armored soldiers at the start of Chapter 11.
- Roll jump and use mid-air Explosive Arrow shots to kill gunners and other soldiers near the Armored car.
