Ndesu on Professional

[Mr. Spencer]

Just got back from another hour or so with co-op attempts against Ndesu, with a player whose a good friend of mine and has actually beaten him. But to no avail. The QTEs are not an issue anymore, just his overhead smash. Though at this point even if I did beat him, it would just be a pyrrhic victory.

[Alexia_Ashford]

You only have to shoot his back Plaga twice in order to kill him, so for the overhead swipes, shoot the barrels and he'll drop them. When I didn't have time to do that, I just kept shooting him in the face. Which bit do you mainly struggle on? I used to really struggle with the boulder throw, but the only thing I still can't quite get the hang of is the "Grab" QTE prompt. I always miss it. Well, I can't get the hang of that and Sheva's retarded AI, of course.

I am pleased to get my S rank first time and go on the Ndesu fight, being back home from last night. Just think of the boss as a rythem music genre and you'll beat him with ease!

It took me maybe 7 tries on pro to defeat ndesu. I played this through with the AI and with upgraded weapons (not infinite of course) and surprisignly the AI was fairly good on pro. I expected it to be horrible on pro. Of course there were few of those moments where she rather shot the majinis than saved my ass. Hardest boss was probably Irving, but i made up a strategy where you don't have to shoot him at all, just let Sheva do the job.

I've been working on Professional for the last couple of days. Ndesu was a pain in the ass, but he only killed me four times before I managed to beat him.

Chapter 5-3 is what tested my patience. I went the entire subchapter not getting killed at all, then I got to the Wesker/Jill battle and was killed 68 times by Wesker and 41 from Jill. A grand total of 109 deaths in chapter 5-3. It's a new record of failure for the universe.

I wasn't going to admit to such a travesty, but thankfully, after I managed to get passed that shit, I beat the rest of the game with minimal trouble. I definitely am not going to touch Pro mode again for a loonnnngggg time.

[Mr. Kennedy]

Been playing pro with a friend.

So far it has not lived up to the expectations you guys set. We beat Ndesu on our 3rd or 4th try, not to bad. Ya, we've died a lot, but it still isn't that bad or frustrating.

[Mr. Spencer]

I don't understand it, I didn't have much of a problem with the Jill/Wesker fight yet I had so much trouble with Ndesu. One man's walk in the park is another man's struggle through hell. Thanks to Alzaire's help I was finally able to beat Ndesu on Pro, though it was Alzaire who did most of the work. I still can't believe the luck we had when the main parasite burst on the second emergence.

[Yzak]

Haha yeah. I read this thread and a while ago and friend of mine and myself started our first Pro run. When we got to Ndesu I was like "oh fuck this is going to be terrible." and we only died once. XD;;

[Sephiroth]

I beaten Pro mode at last it happen last night I was on Co OP with someone I caint count how meny times we got kill on chapter 5.3 the whole disk pat going to the top was a real bith it took about 10 attempes for us tp do it as for the Jill/Wesker fight it was not that hard we got killd twice but when it came to fighting Jill I swear it was a real pain we must have die atlest 8 times the problem was when it came to tearing the device off Jill and you have to dauge her counter attakes the buttons just kept changeing that was a bith but after that chapter 6 was fine not much troble I thought chater 6.2 was going to be a nightmer but it was not we die once and that was it as for the final chapter it went ok when it came to fighting Wesker we had some troble nit the final fight the fight before that we tried to beat without useing a roket luncher but it took too long and we die 3 times before we dicided to use it as for the final no troble at all I dout I will be going on Pro for a while it's such a bith but Im happy I final got it done.

[Mr. Kennedy]

My friend and I beat pro mode, now I've got all the trophies minus the versus ones. We died so many times during the two on two fight, it was hilarious.

[GuardhouseMusic]

It took me 6 tries, but to be fair I only got a B rank. I really just followed the advice of everyone who breezed past him (aim for the head, use barrels when he picks up boulder/pole, kill majini). It was less of an effort than the fight on veteran mode, which was co-op as opposed to solo no-less.

I think it's a fun boss fight, but Sina's right, it's damn uninspired. In developing scenarios for the installment that should at the very least bring a new setting to the series, Capcom not only reuses a boss from 4 but they impose unnecessary limits upon it. One could argue that the Irving fight is an amalgamation of Del Lago and Salazar, but at least we're dealing with a relatively new creature.

[Sevket]

Woov I really cannot beat this guy in single player no matter how many times I have tried. Anyone willing to lend a hand tonight at co-op game tonight. It is now 14.46 in North Cyprus and I'll be online at 10-11 PM tonight (Local time)

[Irontrooper]

It only took me 2 tries to beat him on pro. I found him to be actually rather easy compared to Irving and U-8.

[GuardhouseMusic]

Holy crap, with a friend it took 19 tries. That was frustrating. I had to convince my friend to focus on the big plaga when it came out. No phase 3!

We're now at the ancient ruins. I hear the 2 on 2 is a doozy. I'm ehh looking forward to that.

I pased the game on professional the other thay, it was frustrating in three parts:
- Ndesu: we tryed like 10 time, it wasn't THAT frustrating, except for that F****** guy with the molotovs: I hate you man with the molotovs, I really do
(I'm going to leave the "best" one for the end)
- The battle with Jill and Wesker was alsow a bit frustrating, not onlly we had to try like 8 times, but because after that, came the jill battle, wich we could pass that night, so we sed: "it says "saving..." so if we exit the game now, tomorrow we'll start from here", turns out you start from the 2 on 2 battle, so THAT was frustrating, the battle with jill took us 14 tryes
- The worst part was the fight with Irving Transformed, it took us 44 TRYES!!!!! (maybe we had died before in the chapter, I don't remember) it was pathetic and boaring at times, and REALLY frustrating.
