I gave this guy a pretty solid attempt on my own and got him to like 50% health at best and decided to look up this vid. Even with this build and know his attacks better it still took me another 15-20 tries. Insane how difficult they have managed to make these bosses in this game

I legit have been on this game all day today I’ve tried this boss for on and off for 8 hours. I looked up this guide and it was the extra boost I needed.

I'm a vet of literally all the old games (at least the US releases) and I've been loving the flexibility of refitting between attempts. Going through a hard hitting gauntlet against a load of small, nimble craft before fighting a huge boss was always a pain bc there were no checkpoints. I already have like 8 variations and constantly swap parts, especially when the boss isn't as susceptible to the same damage types. Packing one weapon that's either nearly useless against initial enemies or has very limited ammo sucked in the old games. (Kinda wished the supply sherpa could let you use change weapons at least so I wouldn't have to die to change loadouts 😅)

Terminal Armor allows you to survive the blade spin attack. So long you have one or two repairs remaining otherwise it will leave you at 1 hp which is very suboptimal

I was about to comment this, Terminal Armor is so damned good. Saves you from all 1 shot mechanics which is great, 1hp does suck though. I do wish they added some sort of OS tuning for number of med kits though because the repair rate upgrade is a joke when your med kits are capped.

Same goes for Balteus’s second phase. The majority of his damage is from all the fire shenanigans, which is completely irrelevant/dodgeable when you’re hovering.

Did this with some of the body parts as shown but used an all-missile build and only those that shoot front and not upwards. When I heard the charge move, no matter which one it was, I hit my jets into an adjacent direction and always upwards. For the second phase I stayed up in the sky as much as possible and just kept up the barrage. It worked so well I only had to use a single med kit but I could've done without it.

pro tip: stay underneath him in phase 1 and strafe around him in a circle, then you never get layered or smashed or hit by missile drops. took me 1.5 hours. same build as the video and I somehow ended with 1 heal left and half life bar still.

i struggled a lot until i tried a lightweight max speed build with reverse joint legs, just circle strafing without dodging, i avoided most of his attack, still have to dodge the charged laser attacks and melee (i dodge backward), the reverse joint high jump really help with the laser attack that sweep from one side to another (it does follow you if you don't ascend fast enough) and the spin attack

I have a similar set up, just keep pace around his legs and when it relocates just dash towards and maintain around the legs. It will keep jumping. Phase two just keep distance and finish off with homings

Thank you SO much, I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to dodge his melee attacks. Once I wasn't losing 50% every time it went for a melee attack he was a cakewalk.

Thanks very much for the boss mechanics and tips, really helpful

nice vid, thanks for the tips&tricks! Also quick little note: your AC auto deploys weapons on your back that have no ammo left to lose weight and make the AC less heavy!

Loved the detailed breakdown with video footage, Thank you 🙏

I wanna add: I believe he can mix up his cannon and fire it 2-3 times. It really helps to add vertical movement into the dodges, make sure you're ascending or descending because dodging it on the ground *sucks* And don't underestimate the small lasers either. They DESTROY your stagger meter. If like me a big focus of your build was melee, the pile driver weapon does a good chunk and huge impact when charged. Once he's in the orange (maybe a little below) a charged pile-driver melee staggers him. (the raw stagger is about half his bar). Pretty easy to land after he melees and you can usually get a 2nd off during stun. Also super easy to hit when he first goes into the air.

Thanks for the guide. FINALLY beat that boss!

Hey man than you so much for the tips! Used pretty much everything you said and it worked after a few tries.

Thanks for the guide-- was struggling with quite a few different builds before trying this one. Still took quite a few tries, but I eventually got there!

This Boss literally took me three hours to beat. I wish I saw this video earlier to learn the mechanics properly.

Thank you I have been stuck on this boss for hours and when I found your guide I did it first try using this build your a god send

second phase was super easy. Thank you for the build and strategy. I was at this for like 45 min before coming here. basically just stay close and keep veering to one side and dash under him when he claws at you. if you stay super close he wont be able to lazer you. The claw animation is easier to dodge imo. Cheers

bro you saved me i've been stucked with this boss for a day, i did it first try with your build

That was extremely helpful. I was able to manage it in two tries without changing my build after your explanation. I actually found that staying somewhat close did it for me, any time it powered it's laser I boosted towards/under it which was fool proof. Before your explanation I never even got to stage 2. Also I actually let it hit me with the spin attack just so I could see it for myself, still survived and beat it that run. BTW I found the balteus fight to be very learnable with a pulse blade and pulse gun build. I just kept the pressure on him and the attacks with orbs of homing missiles are very dodgable if you keep boosting around him in a circle up close.

Dude this build was key for me beating the sea spider thanks for the guide something that helped me beat the boss is stay above it during both phases. you will dodge a ton of attacks this way.

I like how the blade move is so scary that when you see him do anything funny in stage 2, you just assault boost for your life

Dude you’re awesome, took one try to beat him after watching your guide - thank you!

Thanks for the guide & build, helped a ton

I had a very quick and nimble build. Low health, but the speed allowed me to reliably dodge most of the attacks.

Bosses in this game have this uncanny ability to beat me before I can even learn anything. Unlike From Software's Souls games, I don't really get that feeling that I'm getting better when I fight them. I just feel like I don't have the right build, ever. You'd think a game without i-frames would have better telegraphy for its attacks. I'll be honest, I love the game but the combat in this game feels like it was made with i-frames at some point in development and they changed their minds without altering the fundamental design. *EDIT: That said, once I've gotten better at the game, I have gotten good enough to beat this boss with almost any setup from learning how to slide under him to avoid attacks, so I'm not entirely right here. There is room for growth it just happens as you play the game, not just on the fight itself.*

The problem is really just the limited healing combined with damage output of bosses being way higher. When you can be forced to use all your heals within the first 15 seconds of the fight it takes a lot longer to learn. Builds too. In souls you can do everything with whatever you want really and it doesn't add that much difficulty but in AC if you have the wrong build for that fight its something else entirely.

If you're bad at timing (or just tilted like me) you can also just Assault Boost perpendicular to the enemy until you hear two shots go off (and even get a melee hit off at the end if maneuver to the flank of the boss in the process). Attempts became much more consistent once I did that. You just have to stay grounded more often to conserve fuel.

Thanks for the video! The strategy worked perfect. I picked grenade launchers on shoulders on mine but damn! That pile driver is nuts. Thanks again

Being shown how to dodge his jump attacks alone made a difference with me in this fight. Thanks for the heads up

I swear people who played AC way before the internet and youtube guides was a thing are skilled AF. Been stuck on this guy for a couple of hours switching weapons to, shoulder grenade launchers, i think left hand grenade launcher, 10x missiles and the pistol for high impact for stagger.. I gotten use the the sea spider pattern to dodge ish, but when it flies I always die.

The more I play this game, the more I'm starting to realize that no matter how much I love Mecha, I just don't think it's for me.

Great job. Thank u. About to try again!!!!!

I used the rocket gun, songbirds and the beginning sword to beat him. Songbirds+rocket gun is a guaranteed stagger per volley, then follow up with blade, rinse and repeat. Also an easy way to evade his 2 time laser cannon is to jump then just fall down, it will miss you, but you want to be in the air for the first shot so it misses going up and you don’t get hit by the explosion on the ground.

Good guide! I switched to the weapons and the fight went much smoother.

was struggling with my build, switched to yours, beaty it first try. subbed

Omg thank you so much i was stick on this boss for hrs

Hell yeah bro thank you this video is very helpful

For anyone struggling with this boss. Be careful charging under it when it fires of the “fireball”. You’ll escape that damage but if you don’t back out quick enough it’ll stamp on you then hit you with another “fireball” as you try and dash away from the stagger. Got me almost every time until I build a slightly faster AC that could care both missile launchers and 2 shot grenade launchers. This build works well though since the beams recharge faster. Good luck

Great video!

thank you, beat it first try with this build after many failed attempts.

Thanks for the guide, I was stuck on this for a few hours. First time I tried your loadout I got pretty close and lost to his arial attacks at teh end. But a couple more tries and bam. Also, a small suggestion. Because we know he is coming, it's possible to cheese him and charge shoulder guns while he opens from his egg. When he sets down, hit him, then continue.

Had a little trouble narrowing down his moves but this vid helped alot thanks

Great guide.

Quad leg makes most of this fight a breeze since you can stay above his melee and even the flying mode easily while you hammer away.

Your build helped me out, with some minor adjustments. I swapped out to the tank treads. 🤓

Truly a very helpful build

got an s rank going full Schnider reverse joint with duel shotguns, plasma missiles, pile bunker, and terminal armor, the speed and jumping lets you avoid his phase 1 melee and plasma blasts while the shotguns and missiles (along with the occasional kick) to stagger it, followed up with the charged pile bunker for damage. Phase 2, you will want to get in close with the shotguns to build up stagger but, make sure you have energy to fly for when he uses his big attacks. especially the spinning blades. Thankfully his second phase stays staggered/ vulnerable longer so it is possible to get two charged punches before his defense resets.

You can stagger him if you lead him as hes dropping from the roof. 4x all hand weapons and shoulder cannons will stun him. Ended up beating this mostly in the air. Shoulder cannons keep you in the air for a while you can regen your boost once before landing.

Didnt use ur build but ur tips helped alot thx

Thanks i was struggling with missiles and grenades... lasers did good

Copied this build and did it after 3 tried. Lost to him 13 times yesterday thank m8 You've earned a sub!

Balteus was way easier of a fight for me me

The timing window for the fireball is so telegraphed, you will see the cannon flash a red square and in a split second you need to dodge. The horizontal laser you will see his cannon look sideways, fly as high as you can once you see that because he'll never shoot that up too high. It also tells you the height the laser will be and you just need to stay away on that height but sometimes his laser goes diagonal so be careful. The vertical laser is the easiest to dodge, just strafe. It's also the one that deals most damage so be careful.

Thank you this worked! Though its a real pain the fingers tapping the tiggers all the time

Thanks for the spinning one shot tip, that help a lot So far I learned one thing, if the boss BS me imma find a way to bug the hella of them After a few attempts, I found out that this 8 legs tin can doesn't like when we stay too close, so here I went At first phase, just stay right under the belly, bring your hottest irons, it can't do shit when you stay too close, it keep jumping you just keep diving straight under it, WHO PANIC ROLL NOW SPIDEEEE The last phase is just typical DPS check, God bless you buddy

So I've noticed in stage one that its charged laser attacks have a tell. For the laser attack that sweeps from one side to the other, it will turn or keep its cannon to the wide while charging. For the down to up laser cannon shot, it will charge the cannon and keep it trained on you as you strafe. Hope this helps!

I got the Vvc's, then a thunder bomb missile launcher I don't remember the name of, and the Pile Bunker weapon from the trailer. I was running a light frame, so I initiated the ambush while charging the Vvc's, took two dashes back, then unleashed the shots during the entrance animation. Hovered in the air until it decided on a move to use, then started zip zapping around trying to avoid the piercing strikes. The only moves that caught me on a regular basis were the horizontal sweep laser and the spinning top in phase 2. Both remedied by good energy management and staying in the air. By the way, any move in phase 2 was a oneshot, my build was NOT optimized for bad players(me)

If you dodge opposite directions on the spaced Lazer attack he'll generally miss, the second Lazer is always leads a little bit.

If you’re still struggling, here’s what i used to melt him (build is at the bottom) First stage: stay on him, like “touching him” close and stagger him with the songbirds, the closer you are the easier it is to stagger Keep firing your gatling at all times, if you circle around his abdomen (below his legs) he’ll almost never land a hit on you, just learn to dodge the pounce attacks thats it Second stage: hover next to him, again really close and use the songbirds to stagger and keep firing your gatling, its really that simple Pro tip: during the 2nd phase, when you stagger him, go down to the ground, recharge your EN, use your gatling guns to do damage, then go back up to stagger him with the songbirds Weapons - Right Hand: DF-GA-08 HU-BEN - Left Hand: DF-GA-08 HU-BEN - Right Shoulder: Songbirds - Left Shoulder: Songbirds Frame - Head: HD-011 MELANDER - Core: CC-2000 ORBITER - Arms: EL-TA-10 FIRMEZA - Legs: VP-424 Booster - Booster: Buerzel/21D - FCS: FCS-G2/P05 - Generator: VP-20D
