Introduction:

 

First off, welcome to METAL GEAR RISING: Revengeance. MGR: Revengeance is an action hack/slash game developed by Platinum Games (Vanquish, Anarchy Reigns, Bayonetta) and produced by Kojima Productions (Metal Gear, Zone of the Enders). If you enjoy this game, you're highly recommended to check out the games mentioned.

 

The story is set four years after the Patriots incidence (Metal Gear Solid 4), where you take control as Raiden, a cybernetic ninja who is working for a company, Maverick, that is set to provide protection for the African Prime Minister. During his job, he encounters a private military corporation, Desperado, that is bent on global terrorism. You're then sent out to hack and slash your way to justice as you prevent Desperado from unleashing conflict and chaos upon the world.

Road map:

Single playthrough method:

Right off the bat you can unlock Hard and Revengeance difficulty modes by using the very famous Konami Code (:dup: :dup: :ddown: :ddown: :dleft: :dright: :dleft: :dright: :bbut: :abut: :start:). So, what would this playthrough entail, exactly? Earning an S-Rank on every mission, defeating the primary bosses (Mistral, Monsoon, Sundowner, Samuel and Armstrong) without taking any damage, picking up all of the collectibles, and completing all the level specific achievements.

Multiple playthrough method:

This is method is more advisable. I would recommend starting on the normal difficulty and learning the mechanics of the game while collecting all the collectibles and earning the all the miscellaneous and level specific achievements. Upon completion of your first playthrough, you should grind out whatever enemy specific achievements and clean up whatever else you may have missed. After that, I would then start a second playthrough (NOT USING THE NEW GAME SELECTION) on Revengeance difficulty earning all the difficulty achievements. If you select the new game option, it erases and voids all previous progress. To start a new playthrough on your current game file, go to mission select and select the mission and change the difficulty.

 

Missable achievements:

 

  • There's some speculation amongst the community that the "Tearing Away the Disguise" is glitched. Missing the achievement would require a more or less a full playthrough (R02 - R07).
  • The Amateur Radio Operator achievement can be missed. It's advised that you follow the guide for that listed in the achievement below. If you happen to miss a conversation and you're unsure of which one you missed, it may result in another playthrough.
  • It's probably worth mentioning that if you die and resume your game while trying to go for S-ranks, it voids your chance of getting an S-rank for that mission. Current workaround for this is that you need to create a copy of your save on a thumb drive or seperate hard drive and if you happen to die or restart, dashboard and copy your file from your back-up to your main. Once you've done that, start over again.

[spoiler=tail]

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQO2K_blqaE]Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance - Steel Tail Achievement/Trophy Guide - YouTube[/ame]

 

 

 

  • During the battle with Metal Gear RAY, if you're standing at a certain distance away from him (usually around where he shoots his pods) he will begin to swing his tail. Parry his attack and go into Blade Mode and just chop away. Achievement will pop afterwards.

[spoiler=dwarf]

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OJjgw0jVqY]Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance - Dwarf Raiden Achievement/Trophy Guide - YouTube[/ame]

 

 

 

  • There are a total of five soldiers in the room. Without being seen, sneak up behind them and hit the :bbut: to incapacitate them. The achievement will pop after successfully incapacitating the fifth guard. Should you be caught, restart checkpoint. There are collectibles in this area that can only be accessed by the dwarf gekko. Collect them before exiting.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1111/5-vyFVA=.jpgLove at First Sight - 15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

[spoiler=love]

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZRcwBNsVBk]Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance - Love at First Sight Achievement/Trophy Guide - YouTube[/ame]

 

 

 

  • While playing as the dwarf gekko, there are five other dwarf gekkos about in the room. You need to run up to them and press the :ybut: button to make them start clapping. Get all five of them to clap and the achievement will pop. For locations of the gekkos, please check the video.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1111/5-hVlk4=.jpgA Walk in the Dark - 15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Complete the sewer sequence in File R-03 without using AR Mode.

[spoiler=walk]

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvT6UHmKMIU]Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance - A Walk in the Dark Achievement/Trophy Guide - YouTube[/ame]

 

 

 

  • Without using AR Mode, walk through the subway. Probably best to run through this segment with Ninja Run. If you get stuck, try jumping or another direction. Achievement will pop once your in daylight. There are collectibles in this area, so try to get these to the best of your ability before exiting.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1111/5-sWvW8=.jpgMenace to Society - 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Cut off the finial at the top of the pagoda in File R-04.

[spoiler=menace]

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rITUh0gpStQ]Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance - Menace to Society Achievement/Trophy Guide - YouTube[/ame]

 

 

 

  • Climb to the top of the pagoda (Buddhist tower) by jumping on the lanterns. You may need to use Ninja Run. Once at the top, cut the finial and you should earn the achievement.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1111/5-r2Rfw=.jpgGreat Escape - 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

[spoiler=great]

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qaDRuVPl7o]Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance - Great Escape Achievement/Trophy Guide - YouTube[/ame]

 

 

 

  • Kill enemies as quickly as possible. Found it best to avoid Blade Mode as much as possible and best to use Ripper Mode against heavy enemies. You will earn the achievement upon completing the mission.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1111/5-jXTEk=.jpgSurprise Attack! - 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

[spoiler=surprise]

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vf4gog_9I-o]Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance - Surprise Attack! Achievement/Trophy Guide - YouTube[/ame]

 

 

 

  • Suggest that you have 3D magizines to distract them with. Lure them away or lure them nearby and Ninja Kill them. If they go on high alert, then you've voided your chance of earning the achievement. Restart checkpoint and try again. Unfortunately, the achievement unlocks upon completion of the mission.

Acquire all enemy officers' left arms.

 

  • A list of collectibles is available in the collectible guide. Should note that most of the collectibles will not unlock until you complete the mission.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1111/5-+4TZg=.jpgTearing Away the Disguise - 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Destroy all of the humanoid Dwarf Gekkos during story mode.

 

  • This achievement is fairly buggy. Community speculation has set some parameters for unlocking this achievement. In order to unlock it, you need to play from mission R02 to R07 without quiting out. I believe the achievement should unlock upon completion of the mission.
  • For a guide of where these are, please check the collectible guide.

 

Battle Specific

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1111/5-oapmE=.jpgDatsu Right - 15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Successfully complete 50 Zandatsus during story mode.

 

  • A Zandatsu, as described by the Doktor is a "stab and grab" technique. In order to do a Zandatsu, you need to enter Blade Mode (:ltbut:), cut up your enemy and then rip out and absorb fuel cell (or spine) with the :bbut: button.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1111/5-v6XvI=.jpgWhat Doesn't Kill You... - 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

In story mode, successfully parry 10 attacks in a row in one minute or less.

 

  • There's a learning curve with blocking/parrying. Whenever you see a red flash from the enemy, you need to direct your :ls: towards the enemy and hit the :xbut: button. If you parry at the right time, you will perform a counterattack. Might also be worth mentioning that Easy Mode has blocking/parrying assist. If you happen to miss this achievement, you can always load that up.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1111/5-nbV0c=.jpgAssassin Behind Closed Doors - 15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Successfully complete 30 Ninja Kills during story mode.

 

  • "Ninja Kills" are simply stealth kills on an enemy. If you kill an enemy while they're not alert, it should count towards this. Most effective way to earn this is to sneak up behind an enemy and hit the :bbut:. Also, if you hold down the :ltbut: button, you can also execute a Zandatsu.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1111/5-g7r9Q=.jpgYou Don't Run from Chance - 15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Successfully complete 50 Executions during story mode.

 

  • Executions are attacks that are prompted by pressing :ybut:+:bbut:. They're usually available after an enemy is dazed.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1111/5-scu9o=.jpgA Lover, Not a Fighter - 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Successfully complete 10 No Kill battles during story mode.

  • In order to obtain this, you need to purchase the wooden katana or the stun blade. Equip this as your main weapon, unequip your secondary weapon and then proceed through some of the early missions of the game and you should obtain this.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1111/5-r8Q0k=.jpgAssault with a Deadly Weapon - 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Dismember three enemies during Blade Mode with a single attack.

 

  • I assume that most people would get this fairly randomly throughout the game. Find a cluster of enemies, trigger Blade Mode and hack away.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1111/5-nTHOU=.jpgRip 'Em Apart! - 15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

In story mode, kill 100 enemies by cutting them.

  • Chop up some enemies in Blade Mode. Should get this achievement fairly quickly.

Enemy Specific

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1111/5-2TQpg=.jpgAnti-Cyborg Sentiment - 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Destroy a total of 100 Cyborgs during story mode.

 

  • A majority of the enemies are cyborbs. You should obtain this achievement naturally through the progression of a playthrough.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1111/5-xzugs=.jpgThe Bigger They Are... - 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Destroy a total of 100 Custom Cyborgs during story mode.

 

  • Custom Cyborgs are enemies that usually carry broadswords or rocket launchers. A good place to farm them is around the hangar R07. While doing this, you can also grind out Heavy Cyborg kills.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1111/5-9c5ac=.jpgDemilitarized Zone - 15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Destroy a total of 100 Heavily Armed Cyborgs during story mode.

 

  • Heavy Cyborgs are larger humanoid enemies that carry around a massive hammer. There are four of them in the R07 hangar sequence.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1111/5-197BI=.jpgHerpetophobia - 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Destroy a total of 10 Gekkos during story mode.

 

  • For simplicity, gekkos are the bipedal enemies that contain a mechanical head and back. There are a large abundance of these enemies throughout the game. You shouldn't have trouble earning this achievement through a playthrough.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1111/5-ydFIE=.jpgSilverback - 15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Destroy a total of 10 Mastiffs during story mode.

 

  • Mastiffs are the gorilla-looking enemies (hence Silverback). There are an abundance of these throughout the game. Should not have difficulty earning this achievement. A majority of them are in the sewer sequence (R02).

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1111/5-k--3g=.jpgExtinction Level Event - 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Destroy a total of 10 Raptors during story mode.

 

  • Raptors are medium-sized bipedal weapons. They have legs and arms similar to the gekkos and have claws similar to the Fenrir units. The bulk of the enemies here are in the sewers (R02). If you don't earn the achievement through a normal playthrough, reload the mission and farm kills.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1111/5-jfB+s=.jpgPond Scum - 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Destroy a total of 5 Vodomjerka during story mode.

 

  • This enemy is exclusive to the sewers (R02). This enemy is an unmanned gear that looks like a pond-skater. After you encounter your first one, run around and you should have several spawn. Keep looking for these enemies before you leave the room. If you don't earn the achievement, load up the mission after completing the game.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1111/5-r+Dl4=.jpgWolf Hunter - 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Destroy a total of 10 Fenrirs during story mode.

 

  • Unmanned wolf gears. Not to be confused with the Blade Wolf which you encounter in R01. These enemies spawn in the R03 and R04 sequences of the game. You will more than likely not earn this achievement in a single playthrough. Upon completion of the game, reload the chapter and farm kills.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1111/5-2ZRC0=.jpgSlider Strike - 15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Destroy a total of 10 Sliders during story mode.

 

  • Sliders are the UG wings. In order to earn the achievement, you need to destroy the wings and not the pilot. You should unlock this achievement naturally through the progression of story mode.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1111/5-x5vL4=.jpgJumping the Shark - 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Destroy a total of 10 Hammerheads during story mode.

 

  • Hammerheads are helicopters you encounter during the game. Without farming them, you're most likely not going to earn the achievement through a playthrough. During the fight with Sundowner is a good spot to farm kills.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1111/5-5YtQs=.jpgLooking Out for the Little Guys - 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Destroy a total of 30 Dwarf Gekkos during story mode.

  • Dwawf Gekkos are the small tripedal balls. You will probably earn this achievement during the boss fight with Mistral. If not, then you should earn this achievement by the end of the game.

 

 

 

 

Miscellaneous

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1111/5-5Q-qk=.jpgAmateur Radio Operator - 50 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Listen to most of the codec conversations.

 

  • Sir_Lumbo has written a detailed guide about the codecs. You can find it here.
  • You can access radio conversations by using the :back: button on your controller. It's advised that you hold the :ybut: button to speed through your conversations. Each person may have more than one thing to say, so you're encouraged to talk to them more than once. The achievement will unlock after making all the calls.
  • I would recommend saving with Courtney after you finish your calls. It is unconfirmed whether or not restarting checkpoints voids out the calls, but it's probably not a smart thing to do. Codec conversations do carry over playthroughs so long as they're on the same save file.
  • When should you check for new codecs? At the beginning of every level, after checkpoints, fighting enemies (especially new enemies), at the beginning of a boss battle, at different phases of a boss battle, after rescuing civilians, etc., etc.

Defeat Sundowner without taking any damage on Hard difficulty or above.

 

  • See achievement "The Politics of Silencing Foes".
  • I found the best strategy was to actually let Sundowner keep one layer of his explosive shields, considering if you remove all 6 he changes his attack pattern and becomes more aggressive and harder to predict.
  • You can't get hit in the awkward Slider-riding section going up the building interior. I left a note in the video that X fires missiles, and by staying in the bottom left/right you're pretty much fine just so long as you dodge any pillars in your way. Oddly enough, just so long as Raiden himself doesn't collide with anything, it seems the Slider can clip things with its wings and no damage will be dealt to Raiden.

Defeat Sen. Armstrong without taking any damage on Hard difficulty or above.

 

  • I have no real specific tips on beating these bosses. If you're trying to attempt this, you should probably be pretty good at blocking/parrying. Practice and memorize enemy attack patterns, after a few tries you should be able to make it through. In the event that you get hit, simply reload the checkpoint and start from square one. If you get hit in a multi-segmented boss battle, you don't need to start the mission over; simply restart from the checkpoint like you would any other battle and resume.

Difficulty Specific

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1111/5--WdAI=.jpgBecoming a Lightning God - 50 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Complete story mode on Revengeance difficulty with all S rankings.

 

  • Before starting this, it's best to own and have maxed out these items: Wig A, Wig B, Murasama, Pincer Blades, Sais, and Polearm. If you had happen to get the Fox Blade DLC, then you might want to use that blade instead. If you need BP points for purchases and upgrades, check the Ich Liebe Kapitalismus! solution for farming methods.
  • Parrying/blocking is definitely your friend. You ultimately want to get the 'no damage' bonus after each encounter. This bonus is often why you would earn an S rank.
  • You do not need to worry about dying or restarting as it does not effect rank whatsoever. If you receive a rank any lower than an S, I would probably restart the mission.

Tags are there to avoid lag and clutter.

 

 

:Bounce:

Thanks for adding them!

 

The VR Thread is a pain, i stopped looking there because my old laptop can barely handle it.

 

So i might just ask my question here.

 

What are the hardest 3 VR missions?

Wanna start with them first so i can see if it makes sense to try everything.

Just a heads up. While dieing in itself doesn't effect your ability to get an S rank in a ranked fight if you hit retry it'll create a checkpoint which basically makes it impossible to get the no damage bonus. I ran into this situation with the Ray in R-00. I beat it no damage but only got a D rank because I used retry. Not 100% sure but using title might also do the same since the game does generate an autosave whenever you die.

How do you unlock the other weapons/wigs?

Collectibles, VR missions, and game completion.

 

Got a guide up for Genius Destroyer (Hard, no damage Monsoon fight):

As a side note: holy. crap. That's a pretty damn hard achievement to earn. On the bright side, I'm now really good at parrying haha.

Nope, sorry mate.

 

You need to beat the Game on Normal and get all collectibles, unlocking the Infinity wigs.

Then Beat R00 on VeryHard+ to get the Suit

And beat ALL VR missions to get the Red/Blue and yellow body.

 

I think everything else will unlock on your easy run.

 

ps.:

 

Maybe add that to the Guide?

Also the New Game/Chapter select thingy? Could help to get rid of the same topics over and over ^^

No, don't worry.

As long as you DO NOT choose new game ^^

 

Pick continue after the credits rolled or just chapter select.

You keep everything.

 

Just rush it on Normal+ ...i'd go for Hard since you are upgraded.

But beating all the VR missions to get the last Body unlocked is BS.

Not sure if i will bother with that.

I've beaten all bosses except Monsoon without Dmg, but Rev R00 and VR (kill all enemies/Zendatsu) is kicking my ass.

 

If you wanna try revengeance, you can unlock it without beating VerHard by entering the Konami Code at the title screen.

Got a guide up for Truly Human (Hard, no damage Sundowner):

 

[spoiler=Truly Human]

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HZxq4xFyRw]Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance - Truly Human Achievement/Trophy Guide - YouTube[/ame]

 

 

I found the best strategy was to actually let Sundowner keep one layer of his explosive shields, considering if you remove all 6 he changes his attack pattern and becomes more aggressive and harder to predict.

 

Also of note is you can't get hit in the awkward Slider-riding section going up the building interior. I left a note in the video that X fires missiles, and by staying in the bottom left/right you're pretty much fine just so long as you dodge any pillars in your way. Oddly enough, just so long as Raiden himself doesn't collide with anything, it seems the Slider can clip things with its wings and no damage will be dealt to Raiden.

Could you do us a favour and stop slowing down the Thread?

Put them behind a spoiler tag, or post the link only...it'll be in the guide anyway..

 

Thanks a lot

 

Btw...

 

Awesome to block the Flaming wheel of tanks at the monsoon fight, didn't even think of that ^^

Thread hasn't really been slow at all for me, but they're behind tags now anyway.

 

Side note: Sam fight was a pushover, so I'll have the Chosen by History vid guide up in a few hours.

Thanks for the answer man. Heres a question though, if I beat Normal or hard *having found all the collectibles in my easy playthrough* will I get access to the wigs?

Yes. So long as you don't use "New Game", you will retain everything from your previous plays. To move to a new difficulty, just go to chapter select and switch over from Easy to Normal or Hard.

 

Maybe add that to the Guide?

 

Added. Still unsure about a handful of them, though.

 

Also the New Game/Chapter select thingy? Could help to get rid of the same topics over and over ^^

 

It has been in there for awhile now.

Thanks. Added. Think it's kind of horseshit that the slider sequence is part of the boss fight.

 

Thread hasn't really been slow at all for me, but they're behind tags now anyway.

 

Thanks. I was going to ask, but I didn't want to be rude.

 

Side note: Sam fight was a pushover, so I'll have the Chosen by History vid guide up in a few hours.

 

Good deal.
