• Fight skip
• Polearm Jumps → Elevator Skip
• Sai cycle
• Sam talk skip
• Monsoon fight

• R03 is probably the second hardest chapter to learn due to the sheer length of it
• Despite most of the chapter being easy on your inputs, a couple of places tend to be more interesting than the others
• (notably: Polearm Jump after the elevator and Monsoon fight)
• Overall, a very solid chapter that serves as a test of your game knowledge.

• Start with doing a set of PJ’s at the corner
• If you’ll be too slow, guards will reach you and that’s a reset
• To prevent that, you can spend 2 seconds cutting first 2-4 guards with Ninja Run
• then go for PJ’s
• Both PJ’s need to be as close to perfect as possible
• Once you made it past the barrier:

Secondary Weapon: Polearm - None

• Divekick off the invisible wall we’ve landed during a PJ
• use Ripper Mode to prolong the duration of divekick
• LSC all the way until the cutscene
• Restart to reset the Alarm or else you can't continue properly

• LSC until the door
• another LSC into the room
• RM, cut Cows down
• setup two Quick Draws (hold Light Attack)
• It’s easy to align by using these lines as your visual cues.

• bHop into the next room
• cut the guards down
• Hit the elevator before Result screen pops
• Codec, elevator
• Jump off the elevator
• RM+Divekick at the same time
• Turn off RM, go forward then do the same trick

Secondary Weapon: None - Polearm

• Do a Polearm Jump to cross the gap
• It has to be as close to perfect as possible, as you’re risking falling down
• After finishing PJ, jump to the crate on your left
• do another PJ
• Walk forward, slide off the roof
• carefully manage to land on the ceiling of the metro section, try not to fall down
• Cutscene

• Jump once to reset the camera
• then do a PJ
• When the section ahead will be much brighter than usual
• you can cancel the PJ

Secondary Weapon: Polearm - Sai

• LSC, until the Codec with Blade Wolf
• either: Restart to get back inbounds
• or: fall off the side, as you hit the checkpoint, raiden will die from infinite fall. Example here: https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxDRtr2G0HRF0XVHiUP5Q8x9Bhb6S9gfKr
• LSC 5 times, then cut all the enemies down
• After the result screen
• bHop or LSC your way into the big section ahead

• By using Sai + RM, kill all the enemies
• Preferably, you want to kill Fenrir with a 2nd Sai attack for quicker despawn

Secondary Weapon: Sai - Polearm

• Get onto the advertisement plate, then do a PJ
• You’re very limited on time here, so don’t waste any of it.

Secondary Weapon: Polearm - None

• Aim straight ahead, and do Divekick + RM
• If done correctly, you’ll skip Sam’s speech
• LSC into the cutscene
• Before the screen transition, do

Secondary Weapon: None - Pincer Blades

• Skip the cutscene, mash P1
• Activate RM after you kill the first two guards
• then clear the area
• Start with the guard on your right
• then closer to the center
• Cutscenes

• make your way towards the monsoon fight
• you can activate ripper mode for this part
• you can do a damage boost here by having the guard close to the entrance shoot you with a rocket
• the rocket will propel you forward closer to your final spot when the next Sam speech starts
• leading right into the boss fight with Monsoon

There are four possible starters. Pick the one you like.

1. CP1 → block → P1 → CP2 (slow) = 63.5%
2. CP2 → P3 → CP1 (average) = 63.5%
3. CP2 → P3 → P1 BM P1 BM P1 = 63.3%
4. CP2 → P3 (fast, requires a really convoluted setup) = 64.5%

• After any of these, Monsoon will throw some garbage at you
• You can destroy these via dodges or CP2 to get extra EM grenades for Monsoon Body Double fight
• in case things go south:
• Do not use Blade Mode to destroy the garbage
• as Blade Mode slows the game down

• After two throws
• Monsoon will land around the center of the arena
• EM → BM
• Get close to his head, wait a second, then do P1-P2-P3
• If done correctly, P3 should knock Monsoon down
• EM immediately
• Come close, BM
• Do a doubleslide, then CP1 - CP2 - Dodge forward - P3
• This should leave Monsoon with exactly 10% of the HP
• assuming you’ve hit your Dodge

End the QTE sequence to finish the fight

Example by Zefie

• open with a charged pincer 1 (CP1) going into CP2
• Monsoon should be at 61.6% health, let him start his throwing phase

• after Monsoon is doing throwing stuff, use an EM grenade and cut his head
• perform a double slide into his head - his health is now at 59.4%
• do a pincer 1 and pincer 2, ideally knocking Monsoon back with the P2, his health now at 40.5%
• perform a double slide into Monsoon, to lower his health past the 40% threshold (ending on 39.5% after)

• throw another EM grenade at Monsoon and cut his head again
• perform another double slide into Monsoon
• perform a charged pincer 1 (CP1) and CP2 to lower Monsoon's health down to 10%

End the QTE sequence to finish the fight

Example by Arumia

• start with a CP1
• once done jump and do a simple heavy attack
• this leaves Monsoon at 65.7% health

• Monsoon will jump up and start his throwing cycle, dodge and wait for him to get back down
• throw an EM grenade and cut his head
• run towards Monsoon's head and perform a single slide attack lowering his health to 63.7%
• wait a moment and perform a pincer 1 and pincer 2
• interrupt the last animation with a tap on blade mode

• run towards Monsoon and do another single slide
• throw EM grenade at Monsoon and cut his head once more
• do 2 double slides and another slide (for 5 slide attacks in total)
• wait for Monsoon to jump up and do a pincer 1
• charge into Pincer 2 (CP2) and let go to hit Monsoon for the final time, lowering his health to 10% and initiating the final phase

End the QTE sequence to finish the fight

• The very start of this level is daunting enough to learn, especially with how fast you have to be with Polearm Jump
• If you can’t get a good pace, try cutting first enemies down to get a bit more time
• A good visual cue for the subway skip is the change of light inside of it
• If the zone becomes bright and shiny, that means you’ve gotten enough height
• Monsoon sometimes has a couple of issues, but mostly the fight comes down to patience. Be patient. Be rewarded.
