How to unlock the P.A.X achievement in The Surge - Definitive Guide
After some hits from you on one of the weapkpoints Pax stands up and all starts new. Repeat this 2 times and Pax is gone.
Normally in this fight you use P.A.X rockets on himself to kneel down the robot. For the secret weapon you can't use this tactic because P.A.X must not be hit by his own rockets. To force the robot to its knees so that you can do damage you have to do 2 things. At first remove the armor from the robots legs after you destroy the Armor, the robot lifts one of the two legs. If one leg is in the air hit the other leg to force the robot to kneel down and you can do damage.
In the spoiler is a video for this way,
The mechanics are pretty easy here. There are two different bars. He has a health bar (red) and a "shield" type bar (yellow). Always stay close to him, and under his feet, attacking when you can. Watch out for the stomps, and continue hitting him until you fill the yellow bar. Once the yellow bar fills, you will launch a rocket barrage. During the barrage, you must stay under him in order for him to hit himself, damaging himself enough to become vulnerable to attacks. Attack him during his "kneel" phase for 1/3 damage to his health (red) bar. He will pull out a sword during the 2nd and 3rd phase, continue staying under his feet, repeating the same method to take him down.
Make sure you maximizing the amount of Vital Injections + Vital Boosts implants in your suit!
P.A.X is the first boss in the game. In order to do any damage to this boss, you will need to get him knocked down to the ground. There are two ways you can do this. The first way is to continuously hit the boss until the orange bar under his health fills up. Once it fills up the first way to drop him is to have him shoot himself with his own missiles. Once the bar is full he will hop away from you and fire missiles at you. When it is preparing to do this you will need to run under him and he will shoot himself and down himself. Once he does this keep hitting it gets back up then repeat the process over until it dies.
The second way is to break the plates of its legs. After you break them off its legs, if you stand anywhere near it, it will start stomping on the ground. It will put one foot in the air and stomp on the ground. As soon as it puts one of the legs in the air, hit the leg that’s still on the ground in order to drop the robot to the ground. After it’s on the ground, hit it until it gets back up. Repeat this process until it dies.

Story-related and cannot be missed. P.A.X. is the first boss you encounter at the end of Abandoned Production.
When the boss is preparing to launch missiles, hide under him yourself, there is a chance of not receiving damage at all.
