Strategy
1
Set up - Royalguard with Spiral
and E & I + A & R and Beowulf
Just parry any of his attacks you feel comfortable
against (remember tapping O during a jump parry will
guard ALL of the falling Ice Shards). Stand back,
use Spiral & Releases to knock his health
down to 2/3. At this point, don’t attack him any more
or he will go in to his “rage” mode.
Instead, parry yourself a full DT (and charge
it) and get yourself max “rage”.
Wait for him to do his dash attack and JR him, but DO NOT Trans-Flux.
Attack his heads with Jet Stream as he is reeling
back then quickly do an Air Cross along with
your DTE. If done correctly, he will kneel over
allowing you to get a good number of Air Crosses
in. After this bout of ownage, he
should have at most 2 heads left with extremely
low health, allowing you to finish him off in
a safer manner.
Strategy 2
Set Up – Trickster with
E & I and Shotgun + A & R
If you aren’t too good with RG.
use this strategy. Get close to Cerberus and use
the shotgun to blow off all the ice from its
heads. If he does a close range attack (which
he often does) Sky Star away from him immediately.
After he finishes, Air Trick back and continue
with the air slashes.
If he does his “Ice Fall”attack,
use “Bunnyhop” Sky Star dashes (basically
Sky Star dash very close to the ground a few times).
When he enters his rage mode, be A LOT more vigilante
with your evasion. If he does his “Ice
Fall” attack in “Rage” mode, Sky Star to the left or right wall and
wall run. This will avoid the attack altogether.
In total this is the hardest strategy to abide
by for Cerberus
CHEAP Strategy
Set Up – Swordmaster
with E & I and Spiral + Cerberus
What is meant to be an SS stopper is now a joke.
Any other strategy against Cerberus will prove
extremely dangerous. This strategy, however, is
beyond easy. From the get go, chip off ALL the ice
on all of Cerberus' heads. Now go directly
to the furthest left (or right) corner and
gun cancel with E & I/Spiral. If he cocks
his head back, do an “Ice Age.” If
he recharges the ice on his faces, chip
it off again with E & I. If he
does the “Ice floor” attack, hover
with E & I. To further simplify this battle,
target only the head that does the “Ice
Fall” attack. Once it is destroyed, you will only
have 1 of his attacks to worry about. This concludes
mission 3.
Note: If you use
this strategy, you'd have beaten him CHEAPLY. I
strongly suggest you use this as a last resort.
