Blade Wolf | Bosses MGR: Revengeance Guide

An opponent that will get on your nerves!

The third boss, and probably one of the greatest challenges that you will encounter, while playing Metal Gear Rising Revengeance, mainly due to the fact that few players will have already mastered the game's basic mechanics by this point.

Unlike the fight with the first boss, the Metal Gear Ray, in this one you cannot let yourself run about and swing your sword - you need to start parrying attacks (to learn more see the chapter devoted to the information on gameplay).

Blade Wolf uses several types of attacks, which can mostly by parried:

• A combo of attacks, in which Blade Wolf throws three slow attacks - after you parry the third one of the streak, you have a moment to attack the enemy.
• A charge that the enemy uses when you are away, at a considerable distance - you can parry this attack or simply dodge it however, to block it, you need to have quick reflexes, because this attack is quite quick.
• Takedown, which cannot be neither blocked, nor dodged nor escaped in the QTE sequence - the only chance here is to escape as far away from the boss as possible; once you hear "I will obliterate your consciousness" prepare for the takedown and escape - if you do not manage to pull it off, you will receive severe damage, (that depends on the difficulty level, of course).

Parrying of attacks is the best method against Blade Wolf.

Every now and then (after Blade Wolf's health drops to a pre-defined value) the boss will escape to the elevation and call for reinforcements - this is a blessing for you, because you can heal yourself, the easy way, by absorbing the enemies' core. The reinforcements, usually, consist of 3 regular cyborgs or one Gekko.

Note the chests and containers all around the place - inside, you can find a lot of useful items like grenades, or the Repair Nanopaste, which you can "wear" if your health drops to zero, to regenerate automatically (the way to equip it can be found in the chapter devoted to the basic gameplay information).

Once you have stopped swinging your sword chaotically, and start to parry attacks effectively, fighting the Blade Wolf will turn out to be much easier.
