NorthPaul93 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 The platinum took me around two days but iirc the DLC was harder and it took me a while to get all the trophies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrs1nrs1 Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 I remember being utterly terrified of VR18, but it only took me around 15-20 tries all put together. The absolute hardest part was ensuring the Fenrir in round 3 would take out a heavy cyborg and that I would be able to kill it fast enough. Also practicing perfect parrying the Mastiffs in round 2, that was always a coin flip. The GRAD was stupid easy with the Sai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElektrickRage Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 (edited) This is the last thing I need for the platinum and I will tell you that this is very hard. You get 1 shotted pretty much unless the game is generous and gives you quarter health or something. I can not get past the 3rd wave, because you will find out like me that it is random as shit. The Fenrir acts erratic half the time and you can't get him to do what you want. If he doesn't fire his knives and runs to the middle you have to resort to running around in circles around them and rolling a dice pretty much. Because the Fenrir can do a laser attack that has some sort of AIMBOT! I thought I would give it a few days break because maybe I have burnout from getting every other main game trophy ? and getting gold in every other VR mission but yeah, whoever designed this is a sadistic bastard.

KingTom95 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 (edited) Is the GRAD method with Sai patched ? Made it to the GRAD three times now but everytime after one stun it wont get stunned for another time...

If so, remember that you gotta wait for the purple glow to return to the weapon before it can stun again. iirc it’s about 5 seconds exactly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After my post i was thinking that it might be an upgrade issue and upgraded it to level 3 which made me able to stun him a couple more times but i still ended up getting killed… Honestly i dont know how this weapon works because i rarely used it in my 2 playthroughs. I didnt knew its charging up first so thanks for the heads-up. I will try it with a fully upgraded Sai later when im at home and make an update when im done with it. Edit: Managed to get it done with the Sai trick however i cant tell if it was because of the upgrade or if i was messing up before. I remember that i pressed the button too fast yesterday before it was charged up and today with the fully upgraded Sai i still messed up once. If you mess up the loop somehow and it starts moving there is no chance to stun it again (at least this was the case for me even with a fully charged Sai) What helped me was to step back and jump everytime he fell down to his knees and stun him again. So yeah not 100% sure about the upgrade but there is no reason to go in there without fully upgraded sub weapons anyways, i just didnt knew upgrades for sub weapons carry over into VR missions. Most of the helpful stuff has been said in this thread already but another tip i can give is to finish VR mission 19 first, the reason is that you can practice perfect parries against the fenir enemies. My tactic was to perfect parry the Fenir in phase 3 as soon as possible and then wail on the hammer guys with the pole, just press triangle twice and jump away, takes 2-3 mins but its an easy way to kill them. Dont expect to get this done right away and be happy about every little progress. Most of the time my biggest enemy was my own stupidity.

zemiguelreis Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Hey! Probably a dumb question but does this VR DLC require any additional equipment or just the PS3 controller? I am going to buy a PS3 soon and I wanted to know if it's possible to get the 100% with just the controller. I never had this console so I am still doing some research. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All DLC is able to be completed with a normal PS3 controller No extra peripherals or anything needed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athanasios_osfp Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Took me around 7 hours. I had many problems with the 3rd wave (the dog and the hammer dudes). Most of the times I would die just after the dog killed one cyborg. Sometimes I died with just a cyborg since 1 hit from them just kills you (I should have used the pincher blade). One time I even managed to die by a dwarf gekko (it did that kind of slap thing) when I entered blade mode to kill the last cyborg via zandatsu! Managed to do it while the dog killed a cyborg and then I perfect parrying an attack from the dog that stunned both the dog and the other cyborg. I chose to zandatsu the cyborg and then I killed the dog which was easy without any cyborgs around. Last wave was a pieceof cake with the sai weapon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BubbleJayGum Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 (edited) Took me around 3 hours to beat. Yes, it is the hardest VR mission, but patience will get you through. Only the 3rd wave is really hard. 1st wave: just wait for the Gekko to charge you for an easy kill. 2nd wave: wait for those gorilla-like Mastiffs to do a wall jump and then time your parry when they jump on you for an easy stun. 3rd wave: I recommend to position yourself so that the Fenrir kills at least one Heavily Armed Cyborg with its ranged attacks. After that, wait for the Fenrir to jump on you, parry and stun it, then kill the remaining Cyborg. 4th wave: this one is the easiest one. Equip the Monsoon's sai, wait for the weapon to glow purple and use it on the GRAD. Hit it with your sword while it's stunned, then use the sai again when the stun is over. Easy-peasy. And remember, guys - patience is the key. You will win eventually. Edited February 14, 2023 by BubbleJayGum 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LancashireLad87 Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Got it after 67 minutes of effort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willmill97 Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 I got it after about 2 hours, however DLC 27 took me over 6 hours and DLC 30 took me about 5 hours. Those are definitely harder. Once you get the timing right for perfect parries, especially on the mastiff, this VR 18 really isn't too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivotas Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 A little more than 5 hours across two days. To me, this is a lot quicker than I anticipated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zemiguelreis Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 I don't wanna see this mission ever again! It took me around 3 hours with a 30 min break. Thankfully I killed the GRAD 1st try when I finally got there. I hope the 30 DLC missions are not harder than this one 😧 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BartR1 Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 (edited) Around 30 minutes, at least it was a fair challenge. But the vr 27 was the most buggiest mission in the entire game because of the enemies fall underground or other bs. Edited November 20, 2023 by BartR1 ...

Skalesandfang101 Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 VR 18 about - 3 hours DLC VR 30 - first try DLC VR 27 - 3 days 😭 it was awful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamska_br Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 11 years or so. Of course, there's a big gap here in between attempts, but only yesterday I finally finished this damn mission, probably dedicated around 12h or so just attempting to this one mission. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryuzakix5 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 (edited) It took me a couple of hours now(I beat it but didn't beat 19-20 that's why I don't have the trophy yet) BUT I already platted this game in 2013 with another account, so I was pretty much an "expert". Still I platted MGR:R in a month in 2013 so I don't think it took me that long anyway, don't be scared about trying this game out, it just takes a bit of practice.
