+===== What's new in R-03? =====
+  * Fight skip
+  * Polearm Jumps -> Elevator Skip
+  * Sai cycle
+  * Sam talk skip
+  * Monsoon fight
-[[metal_gear_rising:revengance|Return to MGRR]]
+  * 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.
+====== R-03 Route ======
+  * 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) in this spot (image TBD)
+  * 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
+  * Restart to get back inbounds
+  * 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
+==== Skip Sam's Speech ====
+  * 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
+===== Bossfight: Monsoon =====
+=== For Hard difficulty ===
+There are four possible starters. Pick the one you like.
+  - CP1 -> block -> P1 -> CP2 (slow) = 63.5%
+  - CP2 -> P3 -> CP1 (average) = 63.5%
+  - CP2 -> P3 -> P1 BM P1 BM P1 = 63.3%
+  - 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
+=== For Normal Difficulty ===
+[[https://youtu.be/WVrx6V25CVI?t=555|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
+=== For Easy Difficulty ===
+[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pp1eVfskGw0|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
+====== R03 Key Points ======
+  * 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.
