Popular Post STK91 Posted January 17, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) Hi there! I just completed Car Chase on Legend difficulty after around 10 tries so I wanted to share some tips. An universal tip is that you deal the most damage aiming for the center of the circle, so don't bother aiming for the head of the bad guys. The first part of the chase is fairly simple, you should be able to complete it with some minimal damage/no damage after a few tries. All my losses were from the truck part so let's get to that:  1st Phase: The easier of the lot, you can only shoot 2 out of the 3 guys on top of the truck. The screen will change after dealing half bar of damage to the left guy or after killing the middle one. While killing the middle one is fairly easy (and you absolutely should do that since he can damage you in the next phase aswell) I suggest splitting your damage and get as close as possible to the half hp mark on the left guy before offing the middle one.  2nd Phase: Quite difficult, but this is where I can give you my most valuable tip. Killing the guy on the truck switches to the next phase immediately so going in for the kill while managing the cars behind the truck seems like the obvious way to go, but if you're here chances are you take too much damage or die while doing it (like I was xD). The thing I noticed is that the cars do NOT actually respawn indefinitely as they initially let you think. So the safest way to proceed is to just kill all the cars while ignoring the dude on the truck and only shooting his rockets. After the truck switches side of the road you're pretty much half way through the cars so keep removing them and finally, once they're over, you can take all your time killing the rocket man. Doing it this way I managed to not take any damage in this phase for the first time ever and winning the run afterwards.  3rd Phase: The hardest one. The concept is the same as before: killing the guy on the truck switches to the next phase and the bikes do not respawn indefinitely (there are about 3 for each of the two positions). You can keep killing the bikes off, while trying to not let the guy on the truck shoot, until they are over (which is what I did) or try to go for the kill of the truck dude after a bit, since all the damage you dealt to him in the 1st phase was retained.  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! Edited January 23, 2018 by STK91 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanreo Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 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...)

STK91 Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) 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.

Nexuds121 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 That was brutal for me. It only took 2 tries for me to get past that lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefourfoldroot Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) 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.

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:  2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korrawi Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 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. ?

Artty44 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) 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!  Edited July 27, 2021 by Artty44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garnier_Fructis Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanky-Lemon Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT_Exodus7895 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImperioBTC Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 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.
