Do you not have Pierce? You don't need to beat the game at all. One shot from Pierce should do the trick. Just hide behind a pillar and aim for them. You can always bring up the Shield if their fire is coming at you and you're not near cover. I didn't find them ridiculously hard.
I mean I got through it after the enemy randomly blew up from the exploding guys but I had to step away for like 2 weeks. Just a cluster fuck of a boss that was exasperated by how slow levitate is even with spamming evade + the whole health mechanic.
Really? Huh... I'm pretty sure I've tried using Pierce before and it didn't do the trick. Maybe I'm remembering wrong though. I'll make sure to give it a try on them!
Some fights are locked arena fights, others you can freely leave the rooms or run through them if you want to ignore enemies.
Yeah I just did a fuck load of side stuff that got erased. Don't have patience to do it all again. I have no idea why Remedy didn't let us make manual saves.
I disabled EGS cloud saves because of all the reports of old saves overwriting new ones. The only other backup saves the game makes are at the start of each mission but I had done 3-4 hours of side stuff after the start of a mission that's just gone including some really annoying bosses so I'm done lol.
I think the low health is when your hp bar is flashing and the red warnings along the sides are constant. It's when you are so low that after a few moments Jesse will actually recover some health automatically. Not sure though, didn't use low hp mods a lot. Damage after kill lasts, it feels, like 5-7 seconds. There's no indication when it procs unfortunately. All mods do stack. Not sure about shatter projectiles or pierce zoom, but percentage based increase mods stack.
Make sure the mission is active in your quests tab. The highlighted mission will be then marked on your map. If you go to a point of power to fast travel, it'll show the section of the oldest house you need to be in with yellow.
For some reason that wasn't working for this mission (old growth) :/
If it's for taking screenshots, I think they'll include such an option when the photo mode comes out. Otherwise, don't think there is a way. Maybe there is a mod or a hex edit out there for it though. I do agree it would be kind of nice to only see the highlights in combat, you do need launch outside of combat, but you can take your time and aim in those cases.
You can grind some countermeasures and farm materials and get some ugprades. Could also do a side mission and find some hidden locations to get as much ability points as you can at that point. Otherwise, tips for Salvador is to use launch a lot, take out adds, keep distance, use shield. What's getting you the most in that fight though?
I've upgraded a lot, launch is fully upgraded, health almost fully upgraded. It's different every time, but eventually I'll be dealing with a flanking enemy or something, and end up taking a hit from salvator. If I take a hit I'm basically fucked because it's like 80 percent of my health. It's just stressful, and there's so much going on. And every time I die, I have to sit through a 2 minute load, and then run all the way back to the boss, enemies spawn on the bridge too, and like 1/5 times I'll get hit by a fucking rocket or something so I might as well jump off the bridge because theres no health on the way to the boss. It's just fucking garbage crap and I don't understand why this is is so hard or why the checkpoint system is so frustrating. The boss fight is fucking crap. I'm about to rage quit and uninstall this bullshit.
Just wait you're about to get to the same shit ass fucking boss fight I'm stuck on.
Ah, I'd guess that's probably because that quest area is "under' the research area. If you're doing that later, there is a Control point in that area. It'll help with the backtracking if you die. It's inside the main combat chamber and to the left just some stairs..
That sounds very frustrating, sorry about the (console?) load times and the runback to the boss. I think you have it though, take a break and come back to it later. It's really getting under your skin at this point, come back with a fresh mindset and a different strategy. Also, even the most basic add when killed drops 3 or 4 hp elements, with a mod that boosts element even by 20% it can give you enough hp to take another big hit. Could be worth grinding the mod generation to get a good one.
Yeah I've been stuck here for two weeks. And surprisingly I'm playing on PC and the loads are still awful! I might just be done with this game tbh. If yr gonna make me fight a boss 15+ times, I need some sort of checkpoint. There's no reason for this boss to be such a pain in the ass, yet here I am. Found the game to be pretty easy up until now.
I just took him out after a few tries.
Are you on an ssd? havne't heard anything about slow pc load times. I'm on an ssd and haven't seen a load more than 15 seconds.
Nah it's on my HDD, but the load is much longer than any other games on the same hard drive. It's like, laughably long.
