ANARCHY REIGNS

This Games hard mode is frustrating sometimes but with the right tactic and preparation you can give yourself an advantage into netting those points.

Note: Defeating 20 enemies in street brawl will spawn a special enemy and killing that will spawn a kllseeker carrying an random item box.

Free Mission 1 - The Killseekers: This one isn't too taxing simply kill 50 enemies within the 5 min time limit. A medley of killseekers will be thrown at you during this mission just stick to offence and you should be fine.
The 50th enemy is a Mutant wielding a hammer his attacks are easily interrupted by a light killer weapon attack once he glows red hit him with a few heavy killer weapon attacks and he will go down.

Main Mission 1 - The king of Altambra: Your first boss fight is against a mechanical Beast known as Big Bull and he hits hard.
Before you start the mission get your Rampage Bar and item slots maxed (shields preferably)
Start the fight and use Rampage to bust him up in this mode you are invulnerable so it should be easy to knock 1/4th of his health off after which he will retreat and send killseekers to fight you, use these to build your Rampage Bar again.
When he comes back use a shield and entice him to the edge where the Lava is, get him between you and the burny stuff and punch/throw him in. When he jumps out he will be briefly vulnerable to attack use this time to hit the X,X,Y combo or press B and powerbomb his ass back in the Lava after another 1/4th is gone he will again retreat leaving you to face his minions, Killing these should leave you with full rampage.
Hit that Rampage again when he comes back and with a bit of luck or skill he should be dead in seconds and if your rampage runs out before that just pop another shield and use the lava again.

Free Mission 2 - A chasers Work : Escort the bartender back to the bar. Bit irritating on hard mode this one but doable. Kill the three kicking his ass and follow him till he is ambushed by the group of killseekers, (Sticking close to the bartender is recommended as the seekers prefer hitting you) Dispatch those and follow him till the Hammer Mutant drops down, Kill him using the same technique as the first one you fought but be aware of the 3-4 killseekers that spawn behind you as they will attack the bartender., Don't get run over!!, Next ambush is shock rod killseekers just keep an eye on the bartender and use the A,Y,Y combo and its a breeze, Around the corner molotovs kill these quick as they put serious hurt on the poor guy and finally a big Nasty Mutant use Rampage and turn him into red Mist.

Main Mission 2 - Target Sighted: Drones attack you and lots of them be sure to make use of block and evade throughout much of this fight, your partner will draw some of the fire but the drones can seriously drop your health with just one barrage of bullets stick to throws and heavy Jump attacks , After killing a few waves of them a helicopter drone will appear simply lock on to it and hang back blocking its machine gun and evading its saw blade attack till you either get an opening for a combo or throwing a missile back at it. Once its down Laser drones will appear and cars will be thrown at you which deal massive damage, perfect time to Rampage and kill them all.

Free Mission 3 - Gunfight. You have a sniper rifle with infinite ammo, Try to stay in cover or above enemies,Ground and Ariel troops should be a priority over the easy to avoid helicopters just keep moving and shooting and you should be fine .

Main Mission 3 - My favourite pimps pimp: Another boss fight here this time against Baron and he sure packs a punch.Again before starting this one best to grab a few items an get that Rampage bar filled.
Baron likes to get up close and unleash big combos by knocking you into the and if he gets you in the air chances are you will die, Luckily above you on the steel platform is some tires which you can use to stun him simply lock on and throw them at him which will keep him still for a while allowing you to pummel him, soon as he breaks free run away and pick them back up then stun him again and be sure to make use of the shields if you are getting into trouble, Its cheap but effective.
After a his health drops to around 1/2 you will get a warning that a bombing run is inbound and a timer will appear.
Turn the rampage on and smash his face in till either he drops or you run out of steam if the latter happens resort to abusing the tires again.

And thats it Black Side 1 Hard mode complete. Enjoy your 15 point reward you certainly earned it.
