The Surge 2 OT | Cut to the Core
- Thread starter EvilBoris
- Start date
Wait what the legs of the level 6 three legged thing drop weapon mats, sweet
level 6 weapons here I come

Shit... You talking about the robot near the scanner gate thing? I wonder if I should farm it...
What's the best strategy for it? Get a battery from one of the previous enemies, then use the drone to lower armor, then cut off?
I beat it in 21 hours, although I didn't finish all the side quests and I'm sure there's some hidden stuff I didn't find.
I think it's easier. Between the combat being less janky and faster, the directional parry system, partial set bonuses and the drone actually being useful for a change, we have way more tools this time around to deal with everything.
My strategy is take care of the three dude first then go face to face :P
The "Physical Aggression Redirector" makes part farming easier since it always hits the targeted part (@75 % damage for attacks that would normally hit a different part because of swing direction).
Usually goes down a bit faster than this but the only video I had.
The drop seems to be a bit of RNG since I didn't get it that time but just got another one now.
Oh wow, I'm 30 hours and the last boss I beat is Delver but I've done all side quests/exploration possible atm
I put 100 hours into the first game too lol

This game does something I'm never a fan of and just ends up annoying.
Fighting
in this small area was a real pain, but I got it done.
I'm really torn about this game. The combat is much better than the first and the story seems better as well. There's also great respect paid to the first game. But there are some really annoying parts and the bosses are meh. The tech issues need to be addressed. The game crashed on my as I was dealing the final few blows to a boss. I nearly stopped playing all together.
Using the same bosses over and over

I clocked 46 hours but that's because I really enjoy the grind of Surge 1&2 as well as exploring which this game offered in spades.
I can't imagine playing this without battery upgraded lol, I've been using a 1:2:4 ratio. Currently 14 health, 30 stamina, 56 battery.
Downside is most bosses have combos that can down me from full health :l
Speaking of bosses, I can't believe how much easier Delver is when you play like a not-idiot.

Easier while exploring but harder bosses.
That is genuinely surprising since there's no obvious areas left on the map and I assumed it was just a final trek to the obvious last boss. Thanks for the info though.
Yeah I wrote a ragey (slightly drunken) post on this guy last night. The arena is far too small for that encounter
The last phase of Delver was joke easy lol
Literally stay away from him, he will dive him and them attack him. I was like wtf?
Having more HP doesn't mean more survivability if you cant properly heal yourself.
The fleshed out combat makes The Surge 2 easier than the first game.
It took me around 32 hours to finish the game. And you also have NG+ available.
Yeah the last part is easy like that, it's the second phase (especially going for V2) that I was struggling with.
Crashing to desktop 100% of the time as I'm walking through the door to get to Port Nixon. Specifically it's crashing during the map loading screen. Anyone else experience this? Needless to say this is game-breaking.
Counter to the point above: I beat the game about two hours after where you're at.
Refunded the original because it had a bunch of problems, mainly:
- Terrible AA and performance on PC
- Boring gear both visually and gameplay wise
- Uninteresting level design
- Confusing RPG systems (could be my lack of interest, though)
- Stale art design
- Slow combat / clunky controls
Are these things inproved in 2?

First point of no return, I have the force hook but not lifter hook.
Anything I should go back for or can I come back later?

Give the force hook to the guy that asked for it if you didn't already. You'll fail that quest if you wander into the wrong area (although I don't even remember the reward).
I don't think there's anything worth going back for with the force hook. I had a quick look around but everything seemed to need the lift hook.
I didn't get any of the mod upgrades but I did get the Mark VI weapon upgrade. Now I got a Mark VI JAG-22 'Aeterna' and have just entered the AID Command zone.
Yep, just got back from finishing the game, other user must have done a ton of side content or something, it was about two hours from where I was to the end as you said.
That's where you're supposed to be after Delver, that place is a maze, I spent a couple hours exploring and still don't think I fully explored it. There's a few keycard locks I still have to unlock O.o
You'll find a entrance to the Hospital Basement eventually and you get the Force Hook from there too
Make sure you get that Nano Ward set, it's nice looking, especially the helmet.
Had a really good run tonight. I think I'm just about to face the
. Though if I have to face
again I'm going to rage, lol.

Little Johnny's head in the tank was great!
The AID MedBay -> Underground Metro -> Jericho Downtown shortcut blew my mind
It's below the guy who asks for the force hook.
Holy shit
was ridiculously easy.
Beat them and got boss V2 weapon on second try lol

Hmm...torn between this and Code Vein. As i found the first Surge somewhat enjoyable i'm leaning to this...sell it to me!
Sweet Jesus Christ almighty they did it. The mad beautiful bastards fucking did it!
And just like that they sold one more copy.

Dudes/dudettes, how viable is parrying?
Is it like DS, i.e. high risk/reward element and learning curve (to the point of discouragement for new players)? Or like Bloodborne, i.e. much easier to pull off and doesn't always brutally punish you if you cook it?
Are there unique ripostes/animations, or just counterattacks?
Lordy, I adore me a good parry mechanic.

I'm confused. Can you explain?
