The Black Cerberus | The Surge Wiki

The BC himself is a pushover when you realize he does his slide attack every single time you're in range - you can just jump counter and beat him shitless. P.A.X. gave me PTSD though, shame I didn't know about the tanks.

Submit

I only destroyed the one fuel tank next to where the P.A.X. come in at, I got the V2 but only the arm and leg schematics.

Submit

I actually didn't know about the fuel tank trick, but on my winning try I only had to face a single P.A.X. before I got a finisher prompt and beheaded him.

Maybe I was just lucky, maybe it's got something to do with how quickly you generate energy, or maybe the game counts the number of combos on him rather than health? I often only got single hits in before dodging out of the way.

Or maybe the P.A.X. destroyed the tanks without me seeing it? Seems unlikely though; I didn't even know it had a cannon move since I was always camping between its legs.

Submit

As several others stated its best to get the first pax to destroy the 2 large cylinders as this prevents the second and third from spawning as well as giving you the full gear schematics. And be sure to sever homeboi's right arm for the scrapglaive 3.0... I mean mg judge 2.0.

Submit

for any gamers struggling on this fight:
Make the first pax shoot its missiles at the tanks for the black cerberus gear as this also prevent more of them spawning making this ez af.

Just dash attack cerberus to death with a quick weapon

Submit

This + Claws of Gestalt + Attack Speed & Stamina Regen Array + Rig capacitors = WIN

PS: It was quite easy to get whole set, it just requires a little bit of precision and patience.

Submit

the PAX doesnt shoot missiles, ever. i filled up his orange bar, but he doesnt shoot. people say u have to keep distance to make him shoot but when i keep distance, he just jumps close to me and closes the distance, not shoot

Submit

I destroyed the two tanks and did not get the full set somehow.

Submit

This boss is a lot harder than people make out

To whoever designed the V 2.0 mechanic: ***** you and please find another job that doesn't involve video games. Please don't jeopardize big projects for new developers that have potential. Thanks and ***** you.

Submit

LOL this boss is absolute trash. PAX literally has huge invisible hitboxes and near instant startup frames. Maybe playtest the game?

Submit

I used Claws of the Gestalt, MG Gorgon set, shield drone, and 12 level 5 vital injections on NG+. Destroyed the two containers with the help of the first P.AX. Won the fight in less than 5 minutes. Easy.

Submit

God, i hate this boss design. Even with all atacks memorized i stil cant pass him in ng+. The secret way to kill him seems even more difficult to pull off.

Submit

***** this boss...

Submit

If you do the "hardcore" method a certain way it actually makes the fight easier:
1. Trick the 1st PAX into shooting both geneators, this will prevent more PAX units from spawning, then kill PAX.
2. Continue fighting Cerb, I use single rigs (Pax v2) and, dodge/dash attacks, but those hit right to left so targeting the left arm works better, and the Judge is a 2 hander so cutting off either arm will net you the V2 and arm schematic.

Note: if you destroy both generators, but DON'T dis-arm Cerb you will the get V1 Judge and the armor scematics EXCEPT the arm scematics.

(Also, don't know if this is a glitch or not, but by doing it this way you might get both V1 and V2 Judge, that's what happened for me anyways.)

Submit

I can confirm that the wiki is fradulent and lies to you.

Only damaging and targeting the right arm even after detsroying both white cannisters will NOT yield you the MG judge V2.
I only damaged this arm, with the first pax i destroyed the two white cannisters, then i dpsed his right arm down and still didn't get the weapon.
Wiki has been confirmed to lie.

1) Take some Voltaic Dynamo and Medi-Voltaic Injection implants
2) Select Industrial Electromagnet dron module
3) When you have no energy - dodge, hit and gain some
4) Use your drone and stun boss then hit some times to gain more energy and step back
5) When boss starts summoning pax - use your drone. It stunes him and prevents your stunning and summoning the pax
6) repeat

Submit

Ok so, It took me quite a while to beat this boss and the wiki page is missing some information.
First and most importantly, I went through two of the four Pax that he summons, both have cannons, no missiles barrages to drop them. you have to do it the hard way. If you have the pax shoot the two generator looking things with their cannons he can't bring in any more Pax.
I used a heavy duty weapon and it worked well, all his attacks gave me enough time to get one hit in with it before he attacked again. This boss is very weak to concussive drone, it will send him flying every which way and give yoy the chance to hit him with a sliding attack with some breathing room. Best implant I can recommend is supplemented your healing with the medi-voltaic, you can gain a fair amount of energy and it does have a set amount, making an endurance fight better. Honestly, exept for the Thunder stun and the summoning pax's, you can almost treat him like just another humanoid enemy in the game.

Submit

Anyone know if you can jump into this boss fight while the Black Cerberus is still giving his speech to the other Security enemies?

(For anyone that doesn't know, you can jump straight into the boss arena from the ventilation shaft rather than dropping down and using the exo-lift)

Submit

this boss takes ages to kill.. annyoing

Submit

I defeated him using the mele drone found in the 2nd are, the mele drone staggers him, also to get his full gear you need P.A.X to missile the massive white reactors that are on either side of the field, trying to get P.A.X to shoot me was the most frustrating part of the whole boss battle, also slide attack worked really well on him. good luck

Submit

Ok, I'm having a problem. At the moment I can consistently (And effortlessly) take Cerberus down enough to spawn a PAX, use the PAX to blow up the tanks, then finish off the PAX. However it seems that I'm missing something when it comes to the remaining 1v1 fight, because I can't seem to do anything against Cerberus once he has his Electrified weapon. I'm using the firebug throttle at mk 3, Gorgon arms and chest at mk 3, one of the white robot helmets at mk 3, and the two starting operator legs (With the highest stamina cost reduction) at mk 3. I really don't know what to change, my impact isn't stunning him, and no matter what weapon I switch to (I've tried the PAX and the Staff from the previous boss) I just can't seem to effectively fight him without getting stunlocked myself, or stuck in an attack animation and getting 2 hit killed. Any tips?

Submit

Okay so I've noticed a few things, firstly that you don't have to fight 3 P.A.X. machines at all, I only fought one, and you can stop him from running and healing at all, what you have to do is weaken him until he runs and summons the robot, then you have to get the robot up to max threat level like in the first fight, however this one uses a tank cannon rather than missiles, so get it to jump away from you and shoot at the orange-ish tanks in the corner of the room, the one closest to where you start stops him summoning more PAX machines, and the one furthest stops him from healing, once this is done, kill the PAX robot and all that's left is a one on one deathmatch with Cerberus

Submit

Industrial Electromagnet was made for this boss.

Submit

Not sure if Intended or not was able to pretty much perma stun him with drone stun and stopped him from spawning more adds after the first one

Submit

Did you ever find a way up there? I ha e searched all over the place with no luck. The lift up there doesn't work

Submit

The phases are actually on a timer and do not have anything to do with boss %, so the boss can be killed in his first phase if you have a fast weapon and high impact.

Submit

Killed the boss, got the upgraded weapon and armor set, game crashed right when I picked it all up. Only got to keep the helmet. Kill me. Please.

Submit

I found the item right above the bossfight room, on the roof. How can I get it? http://imgur.com/a/f76Zx

Submit

How do you get the PAX to get to one side of the arena than shoot missiles? Also, how do you avoid the missiles?

Submit

Pretty sure the requirement for getting the full armor set + MG Judge V2.0 is:

1. Get the PAX to break both of the big white pillar things.
2. Finish off the boss by cutting off his right arm.

I got the full set and enhanced weapon by doing both of the above, but others seem to have only got the enhanced weapon and arm prints so I can only think the difference between those that got the full set and those that did not is whether they broke the white danger pillars as well as removing his right arm.

Submit

If you let the PAX robot shoot the white Danger silos you prevent the boss from regaining health and other pax robots from spawning. Also if you cut his arm off you get v2 of the axe and a full set of his black armor.

Submit

The "Hardcore Kill" is chopping his arm off, you get MG Judge 2.0, the energy blade part has a more defined axe shape. You also get the black cerberus arms schematic.

Submit

you only need to kill one pax, if you let the first one shoot the "danger" thingies
