"Armored Core 6: A Challenging Mech Adventure Akin to Dark Souls"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Forbes
Players of Armored Core 6 are facing a significant challenge with the tutorial boss, the AH12 HC Helicopter, which is being considered one of the hardest boss fights in FromSoftware history. With limited customization options, players must focus on mechanics and utilize strategies such as staying on the ground, balancing stagger gauges, and using the environment for cover. Some players are taking hours to defeat the boss, leading to calls for it to be toned down. However, overcoming this challenge is seen as a necessary crucible that prepares players for the rest of the game's difficulty.
