Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon directory.
Here are all of the Armored Core 6 Chapter 1 bosses of which there are 14 found throughout the majority of the missions in the first chapter of the game. Some of these bosses are main story bosses, other bosses are AC’s you can fight, all of them will need taking down either for progression, Combat Logs or just because you can. Bosses are much tougher than regular enemies regardless of their type and you will need to vary your build depending on your opponents abilities. Agility is usually a good option to favour in Armored Core 6 as, especially in the early game you won’t survive long if you try tanking hits, especially from the main story bosses as they can shred your health in seconds if you give them the chance. If they can’t take touch you, however, they can’t hurt you.

The Fires Of Raven Ending
AH12 HC Helicopter
Mission: Illegal Entry.
The AH12 HC Helicopter is a serious challenge as you only have stock weaponry and this thing can smack you about with ease with heavy missile strikes, gatling guns and ramming attacks when you’re in the air. Make use of your blade to build up stagger then unload everything you have into it. Stay off the ground as much as you can as you will take additional splash damage from the missiles and even the buildings offer little protection. Tough boss this one!.
Tester AC / Dafeng Student Pilot
Mission: Destroy the Tester AC.
The Dafeng Student Pilot is a worthy adversary who comes at you with dual missiles and a nasty double blade attack which you need to stay away from. Make good use of your own blade be careful as yours is slower than his so dodge the initial strike then send your own to build up stagger which will inflict heavy damage with follow up attacks. This is a very good boss to practice on.
Burn Pickaxe / Index Dunham
Mission: Attack the Dam Complex.
Burn Pickaxe / Index Dunham is an optional AC who you can choose to fight in the Attack the Dam Complex before destroying the fourth generator powering the dam. Your colleagues will support you with the kill making Dunham a much smaller threat than if you were to go one on one so put him down before closing off the mission.
EB-0309 Strider
Mission: Destroy the Weaponized Mining Ship.
The fight against the Strider will begin as soon as you get close to the leg you need to destroy and will conclude once you have destroyed the eye. Avoid the lasers, destroy the generators then get up close using the right side for cover whilst you pop up and blast all you into the eye. Get clear of the Strider to avoid being destroyed in the explosion. As the entire mission is essentially the boss fight, once you have caught up to the Strider I have linked the complete mission below rather than the usual short.
HA-T-102 Juggernaut
Mission: Operation Wallclimber.
The Juggernaut is a pain to fight as it can only be hurt from behind and given the fact this thing loves to wheelspin and turn on a dime it can be tough to get around the back. Work on maintaining your Stamina to keep yourself in the air and rain fire down on the exhausts, as soon as the Juggernaut is staggered unload all you have into its back to inflict heavy damage. When Rusty leaves, work a bit harder at maintaining that Stamina whilst also avoiding the missiles and ram attacks until the Juggernaut is destroyed.
Yue Ye / Little Ziyi
Mission: Retrieve Combat Logs.
Little Ziyi will drop down and ambush you as you try to retrieve the combat log in the base of the crater and she can hit hard so avoid the missile, get through her shield then punish up against the cliff face. She is very agile so use either tracking weaponry, a blade or brute force to get her health down.
Entangle / Sulla
Mission: Attack the Watchpoint.
Entangle / Sulla can be a pain to fight as if you have taken a beating getting through the defences then you will be low on resources so you will need to be very efficient especially around the cannons dodging as they fire or use tracking weaponry to help bring them down. Sulla will come at you with a lot of attacks and be very agile making him hard to hit. Use the bridge and small buildings for cover then pop out and work on filling the stagger meter until you can inflict critical damage and bring the assassin down.
AAP007: Balteus.
Mission: Attack the Watchpoint.
Balteus will conclude your time in Chapter 1 and it knows it with the amount of seriously hard hitting attacks you will be battered with. There are massive missile barrages, hard hitting ballistic shots and a dual flamethrower that can shred your health, put you in stagger then crush you back to the start. Make good use of powerful weaponry like the laser cannons, maybe a Shotgun or Plasma Rifle and for me I always find the Laser Blade to be very effective once the Balteus has been staggered.
Alea Lacta Est Ending
Attack The Dam Complex Mission
Mission: Attack the Dam Complex.
Begin the Attack the Dam Complex as you usually would then on your third playthrough ensure you choose to accept the Rubicon Liberation Fronts offer to eliminate the 2 Redguns which then turns them hostile. Put down both Head Bringer / G5 Iguazu and Cannon Head G4 Volta to conclude the mission.
Deep Down / G2 Nile
Mission: Prisoner Rescue.
Make your way through the Prisoner Rescue mission whilst safely escorting the Helicopter through the active combat zone then, at the end of the mission Deep Down / G2 Nile will drop in to prevent the chopper from leaving. Ignore the MT’s unless they’re firing at the helicopter and focus all fire on the tough G2 Nile until he’s down. You can then mop up the MT’s which enables the helicopter to leave the combat zone.
Obstruct The Mandatory Inspection Mission
Mission: Obstruct the Mandatory Inspection.
The Obstruct the Mandatory Inspection mission is a tough missionwhich sees you needing to battle your way through LCs and PCA Weaponry but ensure you do so efficiently as you have a tough fight coming up against 2 Rubicon AC’s as well as your old mate the Cataphract who you will have fought on your second playthrough. Focus on the ACs and let Kate take on the Cataphract then when they’re both dead focus fire on the Cataphract until it’s down.
