CODE VEIN | CANNONEER AND BLADE BEARER BOSS GUIDE

BLADE BEARER AND CANNONEER - CODE VEIN BOSS GUIDE
_______________________________________________________________
-ORNSTEIN AND SMOUGH of CODE VEIN
-HUGELY POWERFUL, lots of screen-filling attacks that'll knock of 2/3rds or more of your HP
-BEST STRATEGY: Get YAKUMO, he's a tank and does plenty of damage, he's good at distracting one of them (usually the CANNONEER)
-Absolutely vital you equip 2 powers: ICE ARMOR from the ARTEMIS CLASS and FIRE PROTECTION from the DARK KNIGHT CLASS. The fight is doable without these skills, but they make it much, much easier. Use both ICE ARMOR and FIRE ARMOR before the fight starts and keep them for the entirety of the battle. Both you and Yakumo's survivability will skyrocket with these protections on.
-Otherwise, do whatever you want: 2-handers are just very, very good in this game, and even a slow roll has a lot of invincibility frames, so at this point use what you want, just be sure to save some ICHOR for restoring your ICE and FIRE SHIELD
-MAIN ATTACKS to watch out for: The Cannoneer has an incredibly annoying attack where he summons an explosion at your feet. It doesn't matter where you are, this can come out of nowhere; when you see the ground turn all volcanic underneath you, immediately start rolling. Probably the most annoying time this attack will come out is when you're healing, so try and time your healing immediately after this attack comes out.
-The BLADE BEARER is pretty standard as far as nimble enemies go in these games: A powerful charge attack, a 3-hit combo that's fairly easy to roll through and a magic attack that leaves explosive ice pillars on the ground. She'll also generate a shield that you'll probably be able to destroy in a hit or 2, but it's still annoying.

[@thethanossnap5086]

Everytime i git hit by the blade bearer, the cannoneer had perfectly timed his attack to keep me in a combo. I had 8 health remaining because the blade bearer hit me ONCE.

[@AzureMoebius22]

I legit smashed a PS4 controller out of sheer rage because of this fight. I still haven’t beaten it. Also am I doing something wrong with the party ability? I swear it feels like a crapshoot anytime I use it. In some cases, it looks to be effective if you time it to where the attack will collide with your blades/tail/claws, yet at other points when it looks like I’m doing just that, the attack straight up ignores the parry (same with the sneak drain, it’s never consistent). And for whatever reason half the time, my dodges won’t come out. And the complete absence of invincibility frames does not help.

[@nine_tails137]

the one thing i really *REALLY* hate about the connoneer is whenever i wait for his AOE fire blast he never does *BUT* when im starting to use my heal his like "oh let me help with that" that reallly gets me like everytime *EVERYTIME I HEAL* no joke i died sooo many times and i think my spacebar might have ptsd after i defeated them

Carry the heal spell and get her back up as well :3 Or just use the ishtar blood code so your ally can't go down until you do. Simple! Ishtar is a strong code anyway really.

[@zombie3434]

The issue I have with this fight is the mechanics don’t mesh with this particular fight. The constant, multiple different AOEs, mixed with the lack of stamina for Bearer, really don’t work well with the gameplay mechanics. I feel like the game developers had a tough time figuring out how to make things difficult for the right reasons. Spamming people with AOEs and constant dash/jumping attacks isn’t the way to go. Feels like the only strategy in fights is to buff your resistances. I do love the game, though. Just sometimes they do things in this game that really don’t seem necessary. I think a better fight would have been to keep Cannoneer exactly the same, and have Bearer just be more relentless with attacks, but with really no AOEs. So one boss is slow but has range and AOEs that can hit you anywhere, and the other boss is chaotic and attacks constantly. Having Bearer do 3 different AOEs at the same time as Cannoneer is just stupid. Difficult for the sake of being difficult.

[@polyvgr9597]

couldnt agree more well said

[@A123ftw]

so you saying this boss fight was op af? you're exactly right about that. the point was to make the fight very difficult and they did, idk if they wanted to make them so unbalanced but i guess it's better if it's too strong instead of too weak. i wonder how people could solo these 2 bosses. i am still in my first run and i feel so bad because i did all the bosses with A.I. partner from the start of the game, and today i wanted that to change then i'm like "you know what, i don't want to do this anymore it's not difficult enough" so i went solo. As soon as i got rid of my partner I ran into these 2 and i was like "HELL NO, okay AFTER THIS FIGHT i'll go solo" and went to get my partner back faster than light lmao

[@ExecutorExe-RIPBozos]

@@A123ftw lol the final dungeon they back 2 times and got buff for the one how die like oeS if you fail all again.....

[@30yovegan34]

it's funny because they work *really* well together as a team and would've been just as much of a challenge with more regenerations here. Not-Smough pretty much detects when you stop to heal / are out of stamina or mid combo and hit you with his ground AOE, flamethrower or fireball. Icestein will just flying stab you the second you take the camera away from her direction. The relentlessness would be fun if it wasn't for the stamina draining from the constant pressure, block stunning flamethrower and explosions they combo with.

[@MrKing-qd7gi]

Why do people say "it's bad design" when something is hard.... Played all dark souls, bloodborne and sekiro and yes those games bosses are more consistent in quality. But I like this duo boss in code vein. It's hard but fun as hell. Keeps you moving and stratigizing. There isn't any cheap tactics here, you can avoid litterally everything even solo. Don't ignore your gear as thats a factor, gear isn't just thrown into the game as a bonus feature especially not on a higher difficulty game like this. It's essential to tweak it for a tough fight. If you have a hard time switch your gear around and pay attention to attacks. It isn't "bad design" it's just a difficulty spike. The mechanics mesh well with the bosses. One thing I found to be practically essential is the quick dodge. If you have the quick dodge you can dodge anything in this fight with only one dodge, even both of them attacking at once. Also think where you need to dodge not just when, thats important in this fight. Don't forget you can be fast in this game too. Don't complain, adapt and learn. I usually hate saying this but..... git gud

[@RobotHunter1234]

This fight would be so much easier if Yakumo would quit attacking the Blade Bearer and just focus on the Cannoneer

[@unratonb5894]

im starting thinking it is a secret timer that make them change there target

[@cheerseveryone7542]

​@@unratonb5894Thats the case. I died a lot on this fight because I died because blade aggroed to me. 😂 After dying more than enough, I realized they switch targets often, especially if you stagger one of them

[@WhoamI-td2fq]

Step 3: Do not forget to collect the lost haze (when you fail the 1st time and many times after that)

[@YourCrazyDolphin]

Did that 10 times before getting one-shot by the blade bearer's charge attack, and my partner didn't rez me.

@@torahibiki Yes you can, and in fact i did.

[@spongefanman]

aside from Ornstein and Smough the cannoneer and blade bearer remind me of father Ariandel and sister Friede, ones big and slow with fire and the other is quick and nimble with ice

[@Lucky-ls6fc]

Spookyjboots and both fights hit big bullshit hours quick.

[@arondahlberg5086]

I know what you mean. But I believe Bandai Namco designed the fight as a tribute to Ornstein and Smough. When you encounter them in the depths, if you kill one of them the other one absorbs the power from the fallen one and resets it´s HP exactly as Ornstein and Smough does. You get a buffed up version with full HP of whoever is still alive. Bandai Namco on the other hand helped Fromsoftware to design and make the DS games so maybe they toke inspiration from both fights. And maybe sister Friede and Father Ariandel was inspired from Ornstein and Smough, since there are similarities there too.

[@joshuario1514]

I was trying over and over again to no avail, but when I tried out the fire/ice resistance combo I got it in one try. Thank you

[@summit881]

This vid helped me tremendously with the duo in Void District. Cheers!

[@seigneurdelatour]

good tips friend, just want to point out that dark knight is probably not the best code to use a 2h sword with. 2h swords scale mostly with str and dark knight optimizes far more for dex, which is good for polearms. that was why your damage seemed somewhat low

[@freshnicki5777]

I think he just used dark knight for the fire protection. He hasn't mastered that skill in the vid i think

[@geofer.o.13.888]

I think Cannoneer should be treated like the Successor of the Claw. Equip a Fire transform Blood Veil along with Fire resist buff (item or gift) so that the Cannoneer's damage is null or negligible and you can concentrate more on Blade Bearer.

[@Kirito__22]

Thank you so much, I forgot the 2 fire def/ice def powers, I beat them the first time I use these powers!

If you're good at dodging, using Jack's communal gift before the fight can really help. You kill Bearer in like 10 hits and cannon man is a cake walk when he's by himself.

[@longdien959]

Thank you so much! I followed every advice in this video and were able to beat those boss at 5-6 try with Atlas code, zweihander +9. But i have to admit that Canoneer was somehow went easy on me, Io did a good job keeping him busy so i can focus on finishing Blade Bearer. After that it's a breeze. Dogde away when Canoneer raise one arm 'cause he will do an aoe around him. I can't believe i killed these bosses wayyyyy faster than Gilded Hunter (took around 42 tries) 😂

[@mrniceguy6632]

I absolutely hate it when the blade bearer just randomly switches agro

[@ColoxrI]

Bring Numbing Mark from the Assassin blood code (or if you have cartridges) and Elemental Wall from Eos blood code, these two will be enough for you if you bring Yakumo. Also if you have quick mobility, it will be much easier. Beat them on first try with this set up.

[@TheSandkastenverbot]

You're a genius! Additionally, use the ice transformed winter mantle for the skinny chick and maybe the fire transformed hedgehog for cannoneer (the latter is optional because after killing blade bearer the cannoneer will be almost dead and easily avoidable anyway).

A year later, NG+ and a thousand deaths later and I've all but given up on this duo. This fight is not what it appears to be today. Your partner gets destroyed in under a minute regardless of what spells you use and the Blade Bearer is so aggressive and 2 hit kill happy that you can't even blink before death comes your way. Extremely unbalanced but alas.....

[@drb4074]

This was the final fight for me in Code Vein. Deleted the game and won't ever be back to the series. Absolute garbage boss fight. Games are supposed to be challenging and fun, not broken by poor design. Moved on to other games that gave me much more reward and joy. Just posting so passersby in the future can know the problem isn't the players, it's the game. Later

[@osterbuuny3083]

Yeah, keep telling yourselves that, but the truth is that the fight is perfectly balanced and fair. If you're too bad to win, the problem is absolutely your lack of skill, not the game's design. I don't know about what happens to your partner, since I played solo, but if you need the AI to hold your hand and carry you, maybe that should already be a strong indicator as to the true problem you guys seem to have. And before someone says something about RNG or the fight being unfair again, despite it being utterly untrue, please provide an example of an unfair situation caused by RNG with it. Not to spoil the surprise, but you can't, because there isn't one. At least not one that is even remotely likely to happen, though I wouldn't entirely exclude the possibility that such a thing may occur on extremely rare occasions, like once in a hundred attempts. Anyway, if you can't beat the fight, I recommend getting a brain or playing Minecraft instead, because it's really not hard, compared to some of the more challenging fights in other soulslikes.

If, by no skill, you mean the amount of skill you must possess at the game, then I agree. This fight has no RNG at all, but keep coping, noob. I did the fight solo on my first run with a purely offensive 1h-sword build and it didn't take me many attempts, but certainly enough to know that the reason you keep losing is because you're terrible. If not, name one unfair scenario caused by RNG that happens more frequently than like once in a hundred attempts. Spoiler: There is none, probably not even in such an extremely rare case, although I wouldn't necessarily count out the possibility that it may happen very rarely.

This boss fight is a perfect example of "Bosses that Cheat". As in, they barely take any damage while hitting like a truck, where as my attacks are like mosquito bites, while I die in 2-5 hits regardless of my level and equipment!

[@DreadGB]

What I used was: Level 10 Queenslayer Code Weapon: Zweihander +9 (Fortified) Veil: Hedgehog Fort (Fire, since it gives 100 Fire Def) Gifts that helped: Flame Protection, Ice Armor, Adrenaline, Fire and Frost Weapon Items: Fire and Frost Tonic With this I was completely immune to Cannoneer's ranged attacks, and nearly impervious to Sword Bearer's attacks Companion: IO

[@Ragingspoon]

Yakumo and applying armours through gifts rather than items was the key. Io kept getting double teamed and dying. I just used Atlas rather than dark knight for lower ichor but higher str affinity. Simple guide but did the job for me so thanks. The bosses individually would be pretty simple its just them being together that was the problem was so annoying being staggered by Blade bearer then Cannoneer lighting up the ground at my feet for all my hp with me being unable to do anything about it. Solo this would be way harder than Ornstein and Smough but with a companion it felt about the same for me I died 4 times on both so took the same amount of time as well but at least I didnt have the annoying walk back like with Ornstein and Smough. Honestly its the camera that is the biggest problem a lot of the time just like DS and BB.

[@seraphinitegaming3123]

idk about dark knight because when i did use it it was just to master the halberd thing, i mainly used queenslayer once i had the right abilities mastered and the fight did take multiple tries but wasnt too bad
