THE SURGE 2 | FINAL BOSS GUIDE (AKA ARCHANGEL ELI)
______________________________________________________________

-The final fight happens at the top of THE GREAT WALL; it's tough, so go in prepared.

-There's really no getting around it, this is just a tough fight; Some of his long range attacks (the nano spikes and ground pound) can be countered pretty well as he's fairly slow to recover after performing them.

-Outside of that, you're gonna have to learn to parry at least SOME of his many, many attacks. The best attacks to PARRY are the SWOOPING STAB, the BIG SWEEP COMBO, the RIGHT LEFT combo and the FLYING COMBO.

ATTACKS:

-SWOOPING STAB: UP - Eli Flies up in the air then bolts forward; this is one of his easier attacks to parry.

-NANO CAGE: LEFT - Eli first summons a little cage under you, then follows up with a single LEFT attack. You can still parry the attack even if you get caught in the cage. If you see his orb.. thing start to glow, that probably means he's going to use this attack, so start dodging.

-SWOOPING SPIN: RIGHT LEFT -Eli attacks with a short RIGHT followed by a big sweeping attack where he flies at you with a LEFT. The second part of the attack, the LEFT, is possible to PARRY, but the timing can be awkward, so it's probably best to avoid.

-NANO SPIKES: He'll jump in the air and slam his orb.. thing into the ground, causing nano rock things to fall on you from above. Just keep moving, you'll avoid the attack.

-BIG SWEEP COMBO: RIGHT LEFT DOWN - A fairly standard combo attack, but ends with a DOWN sweep that causes a nano wall to shoot out from the boss, which can hit you unless you're moving far before ELI attacks. It's probably safest to attempt to parry the first 2 parts of the attack, then start running when the BIG SWEEP begins to come out. The sweep can be awkward and difficult to PARRY.

-RIGHT LEFT COMBO: It's what it sounds like, a combo that starts with a RIGHT then follows with a LEFT; it's very fast, so if you want to parry it, you'll need to be ready.

-DOWN RIGHT UP UP COMBO: Another series of attacks that end with ELI shooting a wall of nano death at you. The first 3 attacks are VERY FAST, while the last UP comes out particularly slow, shooting out said nano death wall. Like the other combo that ends the same way, it's probably best to parry the first 3 attacks then get out of the way for the last.

-Flying combo: UP UP UP UP UP - Eli flies up and starts whacking you with a combo; the first hit is a KICK. It's all UP, so it's a good opportunity to PARRY, once you've gotten used to the rhythm of it.

-SPINNING SWORD PROJECTILE: UP - Eli begins to fly, then starts spinning his sword. He then shoots that spinning sword forward and summons it back, finally following up with a UP attack that if you're unable to parry, you'll get hit with A TON of unblockable damage. This is probably his most dangerous attack; the spinning sword on it's own isn't hard to avoid, but it's incredibly damaging. The worst part is the follow-up, the STAB attack that's basically an unblockable grab; If you can't PARRY it or dodge it, you're gonna take A LOT of damage.

-GROUND SLAM: He'll fly up then slam down, creating a wave of nano death. Just back up, it's unblockable.

-BIG LEFT: LEFT - He charges up his sword then slashes with a LEFT; it's slow and powerful.
