Here's how to beat Archangel Eli in The Surge 2 and get his V2 boss weapon - the Greatblade of the Archangel V2.0.
Keys to the fight:
- You must break the armor on all his body parts.
- Use only Vertical (Right Trigger) attacks on his head and arms.
- Use only Horizontal (Right Button) attacks on his legs and chest.
- Target his head with drone and vertical strikes first because it's harder to damage accidentally later
- Target his body second. Horizontal strikes will also weaken the arms.
- Target his arms third. Vertical strikes only.
- Target his legs last. Horizontal strikes only.
- Dodge evade his attacks mostly, directionally block wherever you can to stagger. The more you block the shorter the fight will be. But you can go the whole fight with only blocking a few times.
- Ignore the nanite things. Just keep away from them (don't go near them)
- When he raises up into the air, walk backwards before attempting to block him. Doing so puts you in a better position to block.
BUILD:
Center around stamina (blocking and evading) and getting energy from attacks and being hit. I usually recommend the Physical Aggression Redirector implant but if you use the right attacks in this fight you won't need it, freeing up a slot.
My build in this video was:
WEAPON - Jag-22 "Aeterna' Katana Mk.X.
ARMOR is all Mk.X
- A.I.D. Tactical Balaclava
- Nano Ward Arm Gear
- LYNX Leg Gear
- Scavenger's Body Gear
This setup gives me a lot of stamina and decent impact, as well as the 3 piece perks of both the LYNX and Nano gear.
IMPLANTS:
- Metallic Hardener (10% extra physical damage)
- Dynamic Redirector (30 energy when struck by enemies)
- Directional Block Analyzer (block directional display)
- Ancillary Core (+12 core power)
- Energy Dynamo (15% energy gain from attacks)
- Deflection Damage Enhancer (10% damage after directional blocking)
- Rig Capacitor XXL (prevents 3 batteries from decaying)
- Medi-Voltaic Injection (health)
- Tactile Amplifier (increase attack speed for one-handed, spear, double-duty and twin-rigged weapons)
- Deflection Hardener (+250 defense after directional block)
- Deflection Supercharger (+30% damage and 25 energy from directional blocks)
MY STATS:
Health - 633
Stamina - 279
Defense - 346
Damage - 544
Note that my build is lightweight focused on stamina, which means my defense is lower than most builds here. The Balaclava gives me the 3 piece bonuses from the sets I have 2 pieces equipped (LYNX and Nano).
Also, if you don't have Mk.X gear, there is one of those newer red nano enemies right near the Medbay before this boss fight. Farm him. He drops Mk.X stuff. I leveled up entirely using him before the fight and it didn't take very long at all.
