I know I am good in practically every game, especially regarding Hack and Slash ones. I want to test my skills while helping people overcome challenges in their favorite game, particularly Bosses which was always my favorite part when it comes to challenges. With that in mind, I created a series called" TEST YOUR METAL" where the goal will be to see how many attempts it takes me to beat all Bosses in a whole game and teach you everything I learned through the journey so you can avoid mistakes like I did and the best strategies to make it as smooth as possible. The first one in the series was a game I always wanted to play but never had the time until now. The game in question is Evil West, a fusion of DMC and God of War playstyle with a Western vampire plot. Yes, it's awesome and you should play it. There are 11 Bosses in total, each with their own strategies, I will tell you what worked for me as I tried multiple ways to eliminate them. I will write about the most annoying ones as many are just recycled. If you want to see all 11, I will leave a video. There are only 2 rules for this Challenge: 1. No training beforehand so I have the same experience as someone new. 2. Highest difficulty because these strategies work in the hardest setting, then it works in every single one. Let's begin. Boss 5 is where the difficulty ramps up, there are 3 phases and no checkpoints. Phase 1 is you versus the 2 tentacles, they attack you one at a time but they are so fast that it looks simultaneous, each tentacle tries to swallow you with 3 consecutive attacks, and after the third it gets stuck, that's your window to strike with your fists and not shoot it. It took an Hour to realise it, don't be like me as fists do much more damage than anything else. Phase 2 it's the same tentacles with enemies that explode in contact. Phase 3 is Phase 1 and Phase 2 at the same time with an additional falling boulder attack. Boss 9( Bruch) is where you need to master the shield mechanic, don't just use it thinking that you can just block, in this case, you have to parry as this game only lets you use the shield for a couple of seconds. At the start of the encounter, he will run towards you, he always does 3 attacks 2 seconds apart from each other, press R1 when you see him wiggling his tail, which means that an attack is coming. When he teleports to the upper part, use the cross-bolt to ensure you quickly get the health pack. Always roll to avoid his range attack and his clones. The best strategy to quickly get the win is to use cross bolt and block his 3 three attacks that can provide you the opportunity to take a lot of life from him. He also in the late fight has a technique where he summons waves of like worms and you need to identify the holes in the waves to evade it. Boss 11 ( Felicity) is the hardest by far but due to the limitations of the site, I cannot explain well as I reached the limit. See the video for that info. Hope you like
