Monsoon | Bosses MGR: Revengeance Guide

The effect of the phosphorus grenade used by Monsoon.

After a long cutscene, and after Raiden goes online again, you are up for a fight with one of the most dangerous bosses in the game. If you still have not mastered parrying, this is where you get the opportunity to make up for this.

Monsoon does not deal too much damage, but its attacks are incredibly fast. You need to keep your guard at all times, to be ready to parry an attack at any moment. Each time the Monsoon stops its attacks, use this to your advantage and strike.

Closer and closer to the end...

Monsoon uses the following attacks in the battle:

• Melee and ranged attacks - in both cases, they are preceded with a red flash of the boss so, you can easily parry them. The number of attacks in one combination varies and you should always be prepared for defense.
• Phosphorus grenade - when the Monsoon throws it onto the ground, you will lose your vision and the enemy will pull of several quick attacks, from various directions. Again, parry all the possible attacks and, when the Monsoon moves away, and the cloud of gas goes thin, change to offensive.
• Division of the body into two - Every now and then, the Monsoon divides its body into two (the chest and the legs). If this is what happens, you cannot do anything else than parry attacks until the body assembles again. Then, you get the opportunity to parry the attack to initiate the Blade Mode.
• Scrap throwing - when the boss's health drops to the pre-determined value, (for the first time, when it drops to 70%), Monsoon will skip back and start throwing various vehicles at you. Use the Blade Mode (and horizontal slashes) to smash all targets, which often drop the Repair Nanopaste.
• Lorenz Force - similar to the previous attack but, instead of throwing cars, the boss throws a whirling blade at you, This attack can neither be parried, nor Blade Mode can be used against it - the only way out is avoiding it by running sideways, from one end of the arena to the other.
• Split into pieces - Monsoon breaks up into whirling pieces and attacks you with a kind of a charge, on a straight line. After several such attacks, the boss assemblies himself back. This kind of attacks are very easy to parry, you only need to know where they approach from.

The time, during which Raiden can stay in the Blade Mode, is unlimited for this battle, which should let you deal with the scrap that Monsoon throws at you, without any problems. Every now and then, the boss will break up into pieces - locate its head and attack it to deal severe damage to the enemy.

The Grand Finale!

Once the boss's health bar drops below 10%, a QTE will start, in which Raiden will deal with Monsoon, after the correct buttons are pressed.
