Preferred style:
Swordmaster
- Point is, attack the head, not the legs
– they don't do much.
- Use the shotgun to remove the ice protecting their heads.
It'll take 2-4 shots to remove the ice per head.
- From time to time, if you're close to
them, they try to shove you away with their
heads or snap at you, especially when you
attempt to slash at their faces. These are
hard to predict but you can jump away in time, or use LV 2 Trickster's
Sky Star or LV2 Royalguard's Air Guard,
which you wouldn't have attained at
this point.
- Air Hike would be very helpful
in this battle.
- Once the ice is off, it's
time to be daring and charge at them
head-on. Personally, I love to jump at their
faces and offensively slash with Aerial
Slash (Swordmaster) and/or Helm
Breaker (jump + Triangle) using
Rebellion.
- For players replaying this battle:
If you have already obtained A&R and/or Nevan,
use Crossed Swords and/or Air Slash instead.
- After getting hit a few times, they sometimes
shake their heads. That is the
time you can safely slash their faces a little more
before they attack again.
- (Double) Jumping and shooting will dodge
their Stomp-Ice-out-of-the-Ground, Ice Breath and
Paw-Swiping attacks. You can also guard the
paw-swipe attack with Royalguard.
To avoid the Icicle Falls attack, just keep
running away. Just to be safe, you may want to
do a side roll near the end of your run.
If you're using Trickster, simply Dash
away.
- To avoid ice boulders they shoot at you
from their mouth, run to one side of
the chamber and jump/roll away when you
see it coming. You can also slash it in half with a melee attack
or guard
it with Royalguard. Both require good timing.
- When they're about to lunge at you, they'll
go into a particular stance so remember
that stance. To dodge it, just stay out
of their direct front. (In fact, just make
it a habit to always stay away
from their direct front) Otherwise, you can Air Guard it
with LV 2 Royalguard. When they reel
themselves back to place again,
take your chance to attack.
Cerberus's tendency is to stomp ice out
of the ground with one leg first, then the
other, and then lunge at you, so always be
ready to evade when you see them do that.
