Metal Gear Rising Walkthrough Part 6 – R-01: Coup D'etat (Bridge to Hostage Situation 2)
With the construct dealt with there are a few things to collect in this area. Head forward and go into the building that LQ-84i leapt up onto. Slice through the door here. Inside to the left is an Item Box with a Holo-Chip (S). Now head for the back right corner and jump onto the shelving. Here Raiden will find Data Storage 4. After that head on out and start down the road the one way you can go.
Move along the right-hand side of the road. This will give Raiden the best chance of sneaking up the soldier ahead for the Ninja Kill. Otherwise it is a quick fight with him then 2 Riot-Shield Cyborgs. These Cyborgs are very susceptible to Parry Counters as it will instantly destroy their shield. Anogther option that exist is to use Defensive Offense and step over to either side of them. This will let Raiden get some strikes in quickly before they can react and realign to block with their shields.
With the soldiers down head along the right-hand side to find a rocket launcher against the wall. Along the left-hand side you will find a grenade on the cargo container. Also along the right-hand side is a Nanorepair Paste, just before the beginning of the bridge to the right. After that move onto the bridge, over the barriers. After that just Ninja Run forward throughout the next sequence. There is no need to jump properly and every reason to just trust to the free running of Raiden here to keep the pace. The first run ends when the bridge collapses beneath Raiden. After that you need to mash a prompted button. The bridge sequence concludes with another all-out run. At the end of the bridge you will trigger the next Ranked Battle
Ranked Battle 4: Hammerhead Helicopter
This is not a very hard fight to get a high rank on. Immediately lock onto the Hammerhead to track it. Close the distance and keep Ninja Running at all times to deflect the incoming bullets. Raiden can parry and block the incoming missile when the Hammerhead fires them.
Most of this fight is conducted with Raiden running around the tops of the structure in the area. With the Hammerhead locked onto it is easy enough to track it from there. Now close in to its location, jump out to it and slice it to ribbons. Be sure in approaching it to hug either side of the cockpit to avoid the guns. When you get the Helicopter down to 30%, head for the opposite end of the arena as it goes for. This will allow Raiden to Ninja Run up its missles to it for a quick Zandatsu finish.
After the fight head on forward to the left. There is a small foxhole to there that has an item box containing an EMP grenade. Grab it and start moving forward toward where you see the flying soldiers and the other 2 looming over a civilian. Equip the EMP grenade as your sub weapon and throw it between the soldiers. As they are stunned engage the 2 Sliders (the flying units – one manned and one unmanned) and head away from the civilian. If Raiden is not fighting by him then he will survive. If the fight is close to him then the chances are he will die in the conflict. Fight carefully in that regard but you will ensure success by keeping away from him to cut through your foes. Once again, at the conclusion of the fight head over to the civilian and talk with them to assure them of their safety.
Now there are a few things to grab in the area. Get to the top of the building near where you saved the Civilian to find some Nanorepair paste on its rooftop in an item box. Now head for the left-hand side of the street. Go to the third hosue down and climb up onto its roof. Head South along the rooftops to the tall building. On the Northern side of the rooftop exit you will find a Refuel pack. On the Southern side of it you will find VR Terminal 2. Grab these things then Raiden is good to move forward. Be sure to head back to where you fought the Hammerhead and collect the Homing Rockets. They will be a great boon in the near future.
