More than 40% of players on PC (Steam) are still unable to defeat BALTEUS, the final boss of act one in Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon. This comes as no surprise, as BALTEUS is considered one of the toughest bosses in the game.
Players must not only have the right build equipped, but also approach the battle with caution, as BALTEUS can unleash devastating missiles and flamethrowers that can stagger or destroy their Armored Core. It’s common for players to die multiple times before figuring out the right strategy.
As of now, only 57.7% of Armored Core 6 players on Steam have managed to defeat BALTEUS and unlock the Contact achievement. Since the game’s release on August 25th, many players have expressed their struggles in defeating this challenging boss.
On Reddit, one player commented, “I actually think it’s impossible. I’ve beaten every FromSoftware game like 50 times, so I’m used to difficulty, but OH MY GOD, this is a whole another level of bullshiterry.” Another player added, “He just seems to have way too much on his side for an early game boss. I’ve been stuck fighting him and bashing my head against a wall for hours now.”
The Armored Core franchise is renowned for its difficulty, so it’s no surprise that FromSoftware made BALTEUS a formidable opponent to overcome.
The good news is, if you’re struggling to defeat BALTEUS and desperately want to progress, there are resources available to help. You can find the best build to beat him and a detailed step-by-step guide for the battle.
