Tips for Car Chase on Legend difficulty


STK91

Recommended Posts

Hey, thanks for the tips, was struggling with this part even on Hard with lowered difficulty and NOT looking forwards to doing it again on Legend...

 

(Worst part is probably how you can't save right before the car chase and if you lose on Legend you have to reload an actual save...)

Yeah, having to reload really is a pain.
After a while I was at least managing some very fast runs of the entire chapter. I suggest using 3-4 strong swords in Legend style to get through all the enemies quickly and equipping Sunburst (you get it from the rewards of the western casino) to kill the boss swiftly, since it stuns him with every hit.

This was easy on hard mode. The chase in 0 was easy on legendary. Did it first time. This chase on legendary is a bitch, and whilst I wouldn’t mind trying multiple times, the fact that I have to complete a long-arse boss run before even trying this is some of the worst game design I’ve encountered in my 30+ years of gaming. I tried, once, tried again, both times dying by the truck driver, but no more attempts for a while. I don’t mind difficulty, I hate wasting my life repeating tedious, easy garbage to get to the difficult part. My time is valuable, and developers who don’t realise this are not good developers.

 

edit: took me 5 tries in the end. At around 10 minutes per fight run that’s 40 minutes of completely wasted time. The run were I did it I was very unlucky to have a missile hit me from of the screen, then very lucky that I halted the lorry driver’s attack somehow. So RNG evil can be added to this bastard.

  • 4th Phase: I've seen people stop the driver's attack midway but honestly I cannot tell you how to do it. It seemed to happen quite randomly (mostly didn't) even with every shot on target. So the best thing you can do is capitalize on all the hp you saved from the safety strats we did during the run. If you shoot well you can get away with just taking one hit from the truck, otherwise two. He hits for 50% of your car HP if you hide into it or 50% of Kiryu's HP + about 20/30% of your car HP. The strat is simply to aim well, use Heat eye when he gets close to you and take a hit or two depending on your hp situation. Having 50%+ of Kiryu's Hp and 80%+ of your car HP by this point will make this very safe, just take a hit to both of them and you will have plenty of time to kill him. Otherwise take a hit where you will survive and just unload and pray it will be enough.

 

I hope these tips will be helpful to anybody having problems with this nightmarish stage. Good luck and, if you fail, just keep trying and you'll eventually get it!

You have to be extremely accurate on your shots to stop the truck driver in 4th phase from my experience. I was trying to no-damage this entire section and it takes around 7-8 shots (tried to count the shots on x0.25 speed but I'll round the numbers up a little and say around 8-10 accurate shots) to make him slow down provided that all of your shots are dealing damage to the driver. This may not be a 100% perfect run but I would like to provide the pattern/strategy I used on this section, which might help someone out. Wishing perseverance and best of luck who's attempting this section on Legend/EX-HARD, it's not extremely difficult but things may go in south quickly, and knowing that failure in this section throws you straight to the very beginning of the chapter makes this section kind of stressful:

Seriously don’t know what I’m doing wrong…been back and forth with this for months and I just can’t get passed the first half of the lorry or even to it. 
 

Think I’m coming to the terms of this game will never be platinum on my list. ?

There is a great guide on yt where or when  you have to shoot and it helped me a lot.

Good luck!

took me a few goes but it's really not that bad, just take your time and use the videos as a guide. I didn't need them in the end but they'll be useful. 

 

Gah, I wish I could do the whole series again, stupid annoying car chase and all. PS5 remasters please!

This can be an extra study material for you as well, hope it works out. Just be patient, you can do this.

I tried about 5 times overall and I'm sure I can do it but the lack of a save point is the most annoying factor, I feel like making a petition for Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio to patch that game up and 

place a god damn save point just before the car chase lol, I might try a few more times this holiday season using the above video but if I fail I do not think I can go back to the game otherwise, I don't have much patience and tolerance anymore.

Just managed this with the tiniest amount of health on both Kiryu and the car, getting lucky with the truck driver at the end stopping his first charge with enough shots on center. Don't give up on a bad run and prioritise hitting the center of the target over firing as many shots as rapidly as you can!

Had really bad luck in my successful run with the truck ramming part, the bend in the road came after i had used up my heat. It was straight up impossible to hit the driver, the truck moved from one side of the screen to other like 2-3 times.
I clicked reload way to early when the truck rammed into me, but i clicked reload in panic again and kiryu went inside the car just at the right second.
It was my 5th try btw, overall i'd say this section isn't too hard if you manage the bullets and heat well.

Ok so I just got the platinum for this game, it might sound funny or frustrating but I got this chase after the second attempt, now, what I did is a followed a guide on YouTube and I did it exactly like he did, maybe this could help you.
