Learn how to defeat Noah in Risk of Rain Returns. Includes strategies for Noah's Cyber Wall, Guardian Golems, and Noah's multiple forms.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Enter the second door and check the lift to go to B18.
  2. 2
    Drive left and up to meet Noah. Your dialogue choices do not affect the fight.
  3. 3
    Cyber Wall: This enemy has three stages. The first part takes about 400-500 HP damage and attacks with gunfire. The second stage emits freezing gas and can be defeated in one round. The third stage attacks with a machine gun and single-tank attacks, and is slightly harder. You receive 1 experience point and 1 gold for defeating it.
  4. 4
    Guardian Golems x 3: These enemies attack with a laser and fire a plasma shell that shocks tanks. They can all be destroyed in one round using SE (Special Equipment) guns. You do not receive experience for this fight.
  5. 5
    Noah - Part One: Noah attacks from his eye, dealing around 400 damage to your tanks. He may target a specific tank or attack all tanks for around 50 damage. He also has an electricity attack. Many attacks will miss due to his high defense. Hollow Shells are effective, inflicting 300/800 damage. SE guns and Main Guns have limited effect. Consider equipping C-Units with high Hit percentages, like the Noah System for the WhiteMuu (15% Hit). High defense for tank parts is more useful than high SP (Special Points), as your SP will be depleted. Equip as many weapons as possible for each tank, as they also provide defense. This form is defeated after about 5-8 rounds.
  6. 6
    Noah - Part Two: Noah attacks twice in a row, dealing 800 SP damage to all tanks per attack. This form is destroyed after two rounds of your remaining attacks, despite a powerful counter-attack. Your tanks will be left in a poor state.
Tips
  • Equip your best tanks with C-Units that have the highest Hit percentage to counter Noah's evasiveness. The Noah System for the WhiteMuu has a 15% Hit percentage.
  • Prioritize high defense for your tanks' parts over high SP, as SP will be quickly depleted.
  • Ensure every tank has as many weapons equipped as possible, as they contribute to defense.
  • The Excalibur SE gun is highly effective against Noah. You can buy the Excalibur in Eden.
  • Hollow Shells are essential and effective against Noah's first form, inflicting 300/800 damage.
  • Consider bringing piercing shells for Noah's first form.
  • All characters were level 32 in testing, using tank combinations like WhiteMuu, Red Wolf, Van, and Abrams, with two SE guns equipped per tank.
