What's funny is that most boss fights in this game follow a pattern; you cut the boss' health down to around 50% and the vocals come on, but the Sundowner fight is unique, you need to remove all of his shields before you get the vocals. And as this video shows, if you remove all the shields without doing much damage to his health, he changes tactics.

It sucks that sundowner can be beaten so easily by just leaving the shields alone, because in theory this could be a great boss fight which forces you to use blade mode effectively AND be a challenging thrill ride. You rarely see a boss that is both a puzzle boss and a test of your skills both in one, but sundowner had the chance to be one

[@creativitysubs9935]

My opinion may be unpopular, but MGSR would have been even better if things were a tad slower. Not the combat itself, but a boss slowly walking towards you before lunging is not only epic, it also gives you time to think. In Dark Souls you can use your stamina to easily evade instead of attacking and studying an enemy's movement. In MGSR things escalate so quickly - I walk into an ambush encounter and the fight-or-flight kicks in immediately in miliseconds without even having time to analyse what and how many I am facing. It's an adrenaline kick no other game gives you.

We need a mod that gives Sundowner three phases like Sam. In shield phase you cannot damage hit because he will parry all your attacks so you must take his shields out. After that phase 2 begins with the standard phase 2 stuff he just has 2 times more hp. Then once he gets to 40 percent he will be even quicker and he will begin to use the pincer blades kind of like how Raiden uses them which means he will have more unblock able attacks. Then once he gets to 5 percent the helicopter scene at the end will happen.

[@zerodark3505]

It says a lot about freedom to play when the game lets you damage him when he has his shield. But it would be a much more exciting boss fight if it was harder to damage him with shields or you couldn’t. That way you get to hear that sweet battle music.

I swear on my first 2 playthroughs I never even KNEW there were different attacks for him, and I was shocked when he started hitting with the poles on my 3rd playthrough

It made me so sad that this wasn't how the boss battle played out, and it makes me even sadder that I get to see it.

[@mouthwide0pen]

aside from the lack of the helicopter sequence what all is changed aside from OP just breaking the shield really fast

[@neilpaulobuan9690]

Im amaze of how he can maintain a close gap between him and sundowner, worth applauding.

[@creativitysubs9935]

It's sidestepping - a hard to pull off attack which apparently is very useful since bosses are mostly fixated on their cones. You'd never know if you didn't try. There's no regular dodge in the game.

[@harryguidotti3815]

This is what I like about your gameplay. You have fun with it, but your also efficient. I feel like your video is one of the only one where someone actually takes out Sundowner's shields to cue the music instead of just annihilating him with the shields up. We appreciate your stylish awesomeness!

I honestly think this is one of the best boss themes in this game, but sucks how much it's over looked cause most people are too impatient to cut open his shields. I genuinely think should have had like 150 health or something or keep it at 100, but he takes longer to kill for how much of a brute force he is in the game.

[@creativitysubs9935]

should have been plain invincible until you destroyed his shields. Would have made for fun codecs.

[@NeroDeAngelo]

... looks like I have ti replay this game again! I didn't knew this phase of his existed o_O I always beaten him before and never saw a reason to destroy his shields... it actually seems that destroying the shields makes him more agressive and "fun" to fight against! Interesting!

[@acetentwentyseven5240]

looking forward to more vids on this. You will love it when you get this down to a science!

[@GeorgeSalonikh]

Thanks a lot man! Will keep working on these.

[@shin_godzilla_78]

1:06 this part it's sool epic brah

[@Leffrey]

When I first fought him I thought you had to use the helicopters to shoot him in the back while faced you to create an opening, but no, it was much simpler than that

[@nxamaya]

This man right here respects Sundowner.

Absolutely crazy how the music and cutscenes all transition so smoothly

I love every thing about sundowner, his personality the hype as fuck theme song and the fact he’s voiced by crispin freeman

[@Chinarider1972]

Sundowner literally has body doubles of himself running after you instead of just normal minions, I love that

i'm amazed at how i can hear alucard in sundowner's voice. like...i know it's crispin freeman voicing him, but you can hear hints of alucard from time to time, especially when sundowner laughs.

[@VikingLord0156]

Enjoy that second phase while you can, because this music is a gift from God!

[@wander7812]

i actually get this game actually and beat him a lot of times, but never knowed about this attack: 1:52 everytime i beat his sheild he was basically already dead, lol ALSO A COOL THING: the sundowner weakness is his own weapon, because if you "charge" the attacks and release it, it can ignore so much damage of sundowers attacks with his shield, and also, the shield protection itself there something similiar with MEMESON too, if you get his weapon (sai) and let it charge (that purple aura on the weapon), you can throw it on moonson and auto-stun him while his "untouchable" state now if is there something about mistral... i must test it out

[@peynnep6483]

So.. that's the way is supposed to beat he? Dang.. I just hold down "R1" and smashed Square to hell while keep running around him. :*

Thanks for making this look like a movie rather than a very quick boring boss fight like so many others >.

[@thehardestdifficulty454]

When I first played this game i hated red sun but now it's one of my favorite songs on the soundtrack

[@BloodMoonFT]

Just beat the game last night, and I wish someone had told me to just focus the shields, I ignored them and hit him in the back until I won, so it felt super lame.

[@ReblazeGaming]

Lmao same I beat it recently and the fight went so slow because of that. And I was so confused when I got no cool vocals. So I went online and found out you needed to take out the shields and then I re did the whole chapter just to fight him properly.

[@matheuscardoso262]

all the times that I replayed the game, in this fight, I've always managed naturally to take a lot of his health and only when he was low hp I managed to cut his shields, I didn't even knew that not cutting his shields was a strategy

[@jamesgrose510]

The music sync between the second phase and the end was perfect

This was my most favourite fight yet , I had to use a whole 20% of my power on this one .

[@creativitysubs9935]

great pun

[@thegoose8663]

Tbh you can just hit him side-stepping his shield explosions and dealing damage to him at the same time instead of trying to cut that one last shield. They should've made shields more annoying. Pretty much require to break them to deal any damage.
