Re: Crack Fix Final Boss Crysis 3

Update: I have read that I need to use the visor and shoot in his face until the 3 arms is glowing orange. When it's orange it means it's vulnerable and I can shot the arm. Rinse and repeat with each arm.
When the suit is overcharged, you can fire the mortar without depleting ammo, and it does devastating damage to this boss. You'll have to aim a little bit high in order to get the mortar rounds to connect, but playing on the "normal" difficulty I didn't have any trouble taking each of the arms down with 2-3 volleys. I didn't wait for any particular vulnerability, I just shot the mortars at the arms like mad.
Sometimes your suit will tell you that an attack is incoming - when it does, you want to get to the outer ring and hide. Although overcharging the suit supposedly makes you invulnerable, there are a couple of "insta kill" attacks it has that bypass this.
Once you've destroyed an arm, the boss will pick you up and you have to mash a button to keep it from killing you. When it drops you, there will be enemies that spawn. Run to another alien power source and drop your mortar, then deal with the enemies. Once the boss returns, overcharge the suit, grab the mortar, and repeat the process.
There are sentry guns hanging around that can help you take down the lower level enemies the boss spawns, if you want to hack them between rounds of arm destruction. Just make sure you stash your mortar weapon first, so you don't lose it or have to drag it to the next alien power source when the boss is active - it's heavy and slows down your movement speed.
There are a bunch of other bits of stuff hanging around here, so you can use the disposable rocket launchers or hit it with arrows if you so choose, but I found the mortar to be the most direct and easy to employ solution.
I did get the platinum for the PS3 version some days ago, but I want to note one thing about the game: The boss fight at the end is downright awful. When you get the TAC or whatever it is called, you have to fight off enemy aliens that come from behind the boss and wait for it's weak spot to be open and use the TAC to blow off part of it. But here is my problem. The boss will shoot out it's ice laser to freeze you and just get obliterated and sent to recent checkpoint as a result because you have to deal with enemy aliens as well, it becomes difficult to sprint your arse out of the way. I think personally the boss was not playtested well at all.
Same. I didn't have any problems during the entire game, except for some parts that were frustrating. But the boss ending was terrible. I developed a technique to eliminate the second form. And, watching some videos on YouTube, I realized that even "pro players" need to abuse some very specific techniques to eliminate this form. You can't play naturally, you have to be hiding in rubble and abusing the nanosuit.
It was actually pretty easy. I just went around the burning planes and hid behind the main "building" of the aircraft career. From there you're pretty safe and can take out the flying enemies one at a time, before using the TAC gun on the boss. Also there are checkpoints at every single step so it's really no big deal.
I found it best to run to the right hand side, almost all the way to where the flames are. There will be a large rock there with some floodlights beside it, and a large cache of mini gun, gausse, and rocket launcher ammo. This will be your position for the entirety of the fight.
I admit this game was extremely janky and rage inducing at quite a few parts on Delta difficulty due to clunky controls, sluggish aiming, and god awful, sometimes downright unfair AI. So I was expecting to have a real bitch of a time with the final boss, but I actually knocked it out in less than 10 mins. I got to the final checkpoint first try just by finding that lucky spot. Hope this helps someone else struggling with this in the future. ?
Your assumption is correct. These are boss chests which you can open once you hit level 60. You also need a skeleton key to open such chests. You get those keys from killing world bosses (Giant Spiders, Giant Crocs etc.)
Hi @Crysis. I am an offline singleplayer, who has now killed 5 World Bosses thus far. I can indeed confirm that both the chests and also the World Bosses which guard them and drop the Skeleton Keys do indeed respawn.
Once you loot the item inside, the chest will disappear, then reappear not toooo long after. And just think of the World Bosses as being like any other boss, such as the Abysmal Remnant, etc; they can be fought, defeated and harvested/looted as many times as you wish.
I had multiple fails (in the 20's) during Reckoning. Not only the big boss, but the onboard flames, the large flying Seth crashing hear me (blue explosions)...and the 4 legged mechanical spider looking all dorky.
From all over the web: Within the last 4 days, I had upgraded the NVIDIA drivers, so I tried rolling back my NVIDIA drivers. Deleted half of my save points I changed the start button properties to reflect -DX9, I turned all the sound stuff down, changed my in-game resolutions, and lowered my graphics options. I even tried making Nomad look away when the big explosions took place. Nothing worked.
Then I saw GPU-Z running on my 2nd monitor. Just for giggles, I shut that down. Edited everything back to highest standards, resolution back to 2560 x 1080, turnd VSYNC back on and optimized my game settings.. BAZINGA! I played the last half of Reckoning, killing the big beasts, running around the deck among the flames.. and no more crashes.
I had logged some of the GPU-Z history to file, and at no time was my video card above 81F degrees (95 is the unsafe zone). Was it all GPU-Z's fault? I have no idea, but it had something to do with it.
The alien warship is a massive, presumably one-of-a-kind alien vessel that serves as the final boss of Crysis. It is hundreds of feet long and armed with four ice shard turrets and a singularity cannon. Nomad and Prophet first encounter it as it flies out of the alien ship in the ice sphere. Chronologically, it next appears in Crysis Warhead, where Psycho observes it flying out of the ice sphere and dropping off the red hunter, which Psycho successfully destroys. Psycho has a battle with Colonel Ji-Sung Lee on a VTOL, and after he throws Lee out onto the tarmac, the warship disintegrates him and the area around him.
Nomad later observes the warship ramming a frigate protecting the USS Constitution. After Nomad kills a hunter, the warship rises out of the ocean. Nomad destroys its turrets so Psycho and Helena Rosenthal can disable the shields on the warship's wings, which Nomad then destroys using the TAC launcher nuclear grenade device. With its wings gone, the warship moves to hover over the Constitution itself, dropping alien troopers from its underside hatch. Nomad finally destroys the warship by launching a TAC nuclear grenade into the underside hatch, and makes it onto Psycho and Helena's VTOL just as the warship crashes onto the Constitution's flight deck, destroying the entire carrier fleet in a giant whirlpool.
It is time now for the final battle with the Alpha-Ceph. Jump onto the elevation ahead. You will find yourself in a circular arena, which is your battlefield. Keep firing at the boss and when he covers his head with the three whirling elements, start running away from him.
When the enemy starts to gather the blue energy in the three appendages, it is a sign to take cover. After the attack finishes, turn your attention to the middle parts of the appendages, and find out if it glows orange. It is the boss's only weak point, which you need to rake.
If you manage to hit the weak point, you will destroy the appendage, and the boss will start sucking you in. In this situation, keep pressing jump, to break free. After the boss falls, other Ceph will appear on the stage, which you need to kill. You can make it easier for you by reprogramming the nearby turrets.
After you dispose of all the Ceph, the boss will return. Pay close attention to the messages the suit gives you. It will let you know of attacks and moments when the boss' appendage is most vulnerable to attack. After you destroy the third limb, you will have to repeat the sequence involving jumping and eliminating the other Ceph. Take advantage of the moment, and mark with your visor the weapons that you will use during the last phase of the battle. After you destroy the last one of the appendages, keep pressing jump, and then shoot, to finish the battle. After the cutscene, reprogram the satellite. Lock it onto the target and press and hold shoot.
What can I tell the world when excited broadbandeers are already nano-biffing aliens in the face while simultaneously downloading DVD rips of Sorority Sluts XI? The wonders of this bright new technological age just keep on coming.
Perhaps you're one of those people who have decided they can put up with the sound issues and error messages the pirate version of Crysis 2 comes complete with. Seeing as the EA head honchos and Crytek boss Cevat Yerli are screaming in a room far away for yours, and perhaps because you're comforted by the shared guilt and enthusiasm of thousands of other faceless downloaders, it doesn't seem so much of a crime.
It's a shame that, despite what Crytek claims, this all-too-familiar situation will have put a strain on the relationship between the PC platform and a company which was once one of its greatest cheerleaders. But let's not get too lost in the rights, wrongs and wherefores of game leaks and internet piracy. (Not before we get to the Comments thread, anyway.)
For the purposes of this preview I played a largely underground sequence on the Xbox 360. During this segment, main character Alcatraz ventures through subway tunnels and wide-open areas where the earth has slumped and lumps of New York have fallen in, leaving broken skyscrapers to peer down forlornly from above.
