The Surge 2 OT | Cut to the Core
- Thread starter EvilBoris
- Start date
Not sure if it actually makes a difference but try and destroy the tubes on his face and then move to the outside ones. I find they're more annoying to kill.
And it's good to give him distance, he punishes a lot and so sometimes it's best to just get a few hits in and back off.
If you can try and use your drone to hit the face tubes.
If you fight the statues learn to parry them. take out their shield hand by cutting them off cause after that they become even easier to parry
I'm having trouble getting a trophie/achievement to pop.
Not story related but I mention some locations from the game.
So I'm gonna tag this as a spoiler just to be safe.

Does anyone know how to get the "Counter-Sniper" trophie/achievement ?
" Killed all enemies operating sniper turrets "
There is a early one near the Seaside exit that I remember.
And two more in front of the power plant.
Any info on the amount, location or timing for these enemies would be appreciated !!!

Alright I'll give it a go tonight. I'm decent at parrying.
Anyone have thoughts regarding surge 2 vs remnant if i'm only going to buy 1 of them? both look quite tempting.
they are both great, you can't really make a mistake.
remnant if you like more ranged combat, surge for crazy labyrintic level design and melee combat.
18 hours and I just got to Gideon Rock, I am obsessed with exploring every corner and getting all armor sets before I move on to next areas.
I got to Gideon Rock today after doing a bunch of extra stuff. I thought getting all my gear to Mark V would prepare me, and the enemies are easy but man the statue and nano enemies are fucking tough. They just do so much more damage. My strategy for the statues is to go for the spear arm first. Not really sure what to do for the others... They aren't as tanky but still strong.
join me in parry and stun city.
I've abandoned parry and am squarely in dodge city.
Lol this where I'm at. I tried doing the "parry" thing for little Johnny and got crushed at least 10-15 times in a row before switching over to just dodge mechanics.
Well, I beat Delver. Took me 6 or 7 tries. I had to actually learn to... parry to get the first part down. Honestly in some ways his second form is just the worst. I noticed the gimmick of that phase but depending on how fast you get it's health down it won't do it more than once or twice.
Well I got past Cervantes, I got all the way to Delver and I'm stuck.
What build of health, stamina, and battery is everyone working with? Mine is mostly a balanced attack with it even across all three fields.
I have Level 5 Armor set and a Level 5 weapon but Delver is still kicking my ass. I've watched some videos online and it seems like the parrying is key but I can't parry well because my stamina bar is depleted or I mistime it.
Anyways taking a break and coming back to the game on Monday night, Game is an absolute blast but I am garbage at these boss fights and it bums me out...

Yeah all the bosses from Delver on are parry battles. I recommend just having a parry set as one of your loadouts and stacking every parry implant you have. One thing I noticed is that you have to start your parry a little before the attack hits you to get the perfect parry. And spamming parry doesn't help because it burns your stam, so unfortunately you just have to learn the timings.
One implant I never took off was the "stamina regens faster when you fill a battery" because stamina is at such a premium in this game.
If you can't get the timing down with parrys, just dodge everything. This is how i killed Delver including getting his weapon.

OP
OP
Yeah these have been the enemy I've been most successful partying against
Aww I preordered the limited edition but it didn't come with any Dlc :(
On another note Little Johnny seems to be the low point in boss fights cause all the ones since have been incredible
I think the effectiveness of the parry and success rate also might depend on the weapon itself. Using a Spear is way easier than the John Rambo knife
I feel like the dodge is ineffective against Delver because it has such long range. I'll try the parrying option.
So with Delver what you can do is ignore parry. Jump around and when it runs towards you as a dive bomb dash away and then before it gets up damage spam it with a spear.
At least in the first phase of it . I didnt have fun parrying it
The Delver has been fallen.
My tactic? Grab a pair of fists, and go head-to-head with him the first two phases, parrying while abusing the shit out of the "hit enemies to get health potions" mechanic when hit. Block the second phase's unparryable attacks sans the crystal launch, and the dash.
As for the third phase, stop parrying, and start dodging. The margin of error gets really low in that phase.
Fun fight.

There was a bug prior to launch, dunno if it is still there or not, but when you
meet the stranger in the hospital, you can keep talking to them and receive a Grade V weapon part every single time.
So I'm guessing others know but during the second phase of the Delver,
Thought that was a clever little mechanic.
when it jumps away and starts "bombing" you, you can destroy the nano things that are dropped onto the ground. If you do it won't be able to retrieve them and get the health back.

You can't parry that can you?
I felt like I was missing something with his dash attack. I could avoid it easily enough but I didn't get much chance to counterattack after it. He would usually recover before the camera turned around to face him.
Still stuck on Delver.
I've got through the first phase but the 2nd phase is becoming difficult.
I feel like the parrying is effective but the stamina goes fast.
I have no buffs regarding parrying.
I'm gonna keep trying but man, this is a tough fight.
Maybe I should reroll my build and put more in Stamina and less in health?

I felt hopeless with this dude as well. I leveled the A.I.D. armor as high as I could, made sure I had the 4th battery and implants that slowed decay and also gaining energy when hitting the enemy, some implant that speeds up stamina regen or something. There are also dudes at the A.I.D. command area that drop crafting materials that are higher than the Gideon area btw. You can get really really far in those areas.
I couldn't parry but blocking worked OK enough on the first form. Prior to this boss, I never blocked or parried anything. I never bothered parrying or blocking the 2nd form, only the first. He's just too fast. I always destroyed the clusters the 2nd form would throw out as that damages him. I used the single-rigged superheated firestarter for its speed in relation to energy gain. The third form is just like, keeping your distance until he rolls at you.
I feel like that boss was way too OP for that point in the game but it's doable. I'm not even particularly good at the game but got it after the 7th or 8th try. You'll get it.
Just got to Cerventes, trying to find my way back to him. Gideon's Rock is a maze, I love it.

Thanks for the advice Rotini Noodle
I'll keep at it. Might take a break and go farm scrap and what's not.

Couldn't you just create a new set and give him that?
Edit: LOL, I guess I should have refreshed the page before posting.
Btw there's a really good twin rigged weapon that you can get slightly earlier than is probably intended
Spoilers up to Delver, one sidequest:
Spoilers up to Delver, one sidequest:
The graffiti tagging quest reward from the DJ of Cloud9. Great stats including fire damage and you get it at mark 6. You just need to tag each of the six areas. In rough order these are
Jericho Downtown
Port Nixon
Gideon Rock
AID Centre
Cathedral (power plant)
Underground
However you can get to the entrance of Cathedral (in Port Nixon) and Underground (various entrances) early on, so you can unlock this weapon as soon as you get into AID - which I think requires beating Delver?
Anyway, that a Mark 6 twin rig, pretty much a straight upgrade over Johnny's Forceps, unlocked before I had any mark 6 crafting material.

Oh damn I didn't think of that... Probably out of luck then, I can't see any other way around it.
There are two sets of A.I.D armor. There is the Nightfall set and the Eclipse set. IIRC, the Eclipse set is in the city on the way to Cloud 9 Bar.
Not an oversight, that's the point of the quest, to give up or not give up your armor to help someone.
Shouldn't be an issue since farming parts is very easy too. I had four+ sets upgraded by then.
Higher tier mats break down at a 1:2 ratio, should be less than 20 min to get it back up to where it was.
