Boss battle: Madame | Episode 4 Remember Me Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

I recommend that you learn about the basic premises of the fight with Madame before you actually start fighting. First of all, do not worry about the missing fragments of the floor. They will be "drawn up" as you move around the battlefield. This does not mean, of course, that the ground is unlimited in size but, it is big enough to operate without worries.

Another thing is the presence of the virtual helpers. At first it is going to be Prison Enforcers. You need to watch out for them BUT, their elimination is not necessary and will not make you any closer to the victory.

Madame herself is also a threat but, she does not start using all of her attacks straight away. You should be paying most attention to the series of projectiles shot by her (screenshot 1) and to the exploding parts of the ground (screenshot 2). The best solution in both cases is to remain in constant motion and frequent avoiding.

Before you start dealing damage to Madame, you need to bring her down first. Also here, you can decide on your strategy. The easiest way to "ground" Madame, is by using Junk Bolts (screenshot 1), although Sensen DOS also works here (screenshot 2).

Each time Madame lands on the arena, run up to her and start delivering regular blows, or the Sensen Fury. Try to inflict as much damage to her as possible, in order to make this battle shorter. Also, jump away at the last time to avoid taking damage from Madame's "explosions".

Repeat the above actions , i.e. repel Madame's and her minions' attacks while searching for the occasion to launch an attack. The first phase of this fight will draw to an end when Madame's health bar drops by a half. This will be signaled by a short cutscene.

In the second phase you need to be aware of a few additional impediments. One of them is the appearance of a new type of virtual minions, i.e. AV-48S Seraphim robots. It is worth remembering that you can win robots over to your side by using the Rust In Pieces special move.

When it comes to Madame herself, the most serious trouble starts when she is brought down to the ground because she spawns her own clones at that moment. Theoretically, you could try and take on the clones one by one (standard hits or the Spammer - screenshot 1), but this would mean missing the actual Madame and losing some health in the process. A much better idea is to initiate Sensen DOS, which reveals the Madame herself (screenshot 2).

After you identify Madame correctly, start attacking her. And so, just like earlier, launch the best attacks you can afford . While Madame is weakened, attack the minions using the cooldown moves. This will allow you to have Sensen DOS fully charged next time.

Keep repeating the above actions until Madame loses the other half of her health bar. Approach Madame and press the interaction key/button (Terminate). There is also a QTE event for you to play and the right combination is punch (LMB), kick (RMB), interact (the "E" key).

Start pressing the SPACE BAR rhythmically (or the corresponding game pad button for "jump") and end up by overloading Madame. For your victory, you will be rewarded with 1000 experience points and a new function to your Spammer- Force Spammer. The upgrade enables you to move the chosen interactive elements of the environment.
