BOTHERSOME BOSS RUSH | Let's Play Like A Dragon - Ishin (Extra) - Part 12
0I was actually both surprised and really happy with how I was able to get through all of the Ultimate Battles especially the boss rush ones. Now we have begun making our way through the substories we already started before we move onto the ones that we have yet to encounter.
Trophy/Achievement Timestamps
2:10:29 - Ultimate Champion Trophy/Achievement - After you complete the story you will unlock the Ultimate Challenges in the main menu. They are split into 4 different categories and will require you to focus on either Combat which is mostly defeating enemies with certain styles within a time limit, Skill which require you to complete a specific task revolving around a different gimmick, Speed which are a series of challenges revolving across chase sequences and Ultimate which involves defeating a series of boss fights in a row similar to a boss rush. You will be able to find a breakdown of each Ultimate Challenge and what is required in the guide below:

While I will not break down every single challenge as some are very self explanatory there will be several things that I would like to add that I learnt as I was playing that definitely work a lot better than what is being offered.
Combat Challenge 3 - You want to build your heat by strictly targeting the flaming sword enemy and before you earn the heat needed find an enemy other than them to knock down and perform the swing heat action which will hit multiple enemies. Keep repeating this until you get it which will take several tries as it is determined on which enemies are still alive and which ones are hit by the swing also. Really can be a matter of luck here.
Combat Challenge 9 - Start off using Wild Dancer in the first room because of how close the enemies are but from this point switch to Gunman the rest of the way. You do not need to fight all of the enemies when you reach the armoured enemy blocking the way as you can switch to Swordsman to deal with their armour before switching back to Gunman. Do this any time there are armoured enemies and you should have plenty of time left over.
Skill Challenge 3 - This is the one challenge where there are multiple ways to do it but in terms of actual success will vary quite a lot and will take many attempts to get right even when trying to replicate other successful attempts. Not only is it time based there is also a chance that you will just miss out by only a few seconds. I would suggest using Swordsman on any scarecrows that go down in 1-2 hits or any brown scarecrows that are by themselves. There are several opportunities to do running attacks to clear out several scarecrows along the way. In terms of the brown scarecrows you need to do around 3-4 hits on them and then follow up with a power attack to destroy it. You should also aim for multi hits to save time. There are 2 instances where you need to switch to Gunman as well. When you get to areas with multiple brown scarecrows you should switch to Wild Dancer and especially in the very last section with all of them spawning the way they do. By the point of the very last spawn of scarecrows you will probably only have a few seconds left however if you end up using the Wild Dancer special move this will slow down time and start spinning you around shooting shots and you can move around during this. Because the red scarecrows only take one shot to go down and you remain invincible while doing so you don't need to worry about taking damage.
Ultimate Challenge 4 - The fight against Okita is fairly straightforward however Shinpachi and Kondo can be quite aggressive with their attacks and blocks and do a lot of damage however from this point by spamming the dodge in Wild Dancer you can avoid most attacks and afterwards can unload with combos before they start attacking or blocking again.
Ultimate Challenge 5 - I suggest utilising the Wild Dancer dodge strategy to avoid being hit by almost every attack and then doing as big a combo you can before the enemy blocks or tries to attack again. This can be done on every fight and by throwing in heat actions whist doing so you will get through these quite easily. The hardest point is the fight against Saigo as you are stuck in Brawler and if you get hit by him you will take a lot of damage so hit him around 3-4 times before getting out of the way using Heat Actions wherever possible. When you get to Takechi in the last fight you can simply swap to Gunman, move to one of the corners and fire away until his health is depleted. For some reason he either barely attacks or might only hit a couple of times if that and makes this incredibly easy.
Once you have completed every Ultimate Challenge you will unlock this trophy/achievement.
