For those of you who don't know, the first time you defeat Aether, you will receive an item called Legionis License. Which is proof that you defeated the strongest chimera known in the game. Defeating Aether after your first time beating it will result in Empty Cans afterwards.
Wait a sec... Does this means Aether is stronger than Noah Prime ? The same Noah Prime that could have absorbed our world into the Astral Plane if we didn't stop it ?! Well damn, that sure is hell of an opponent
@@reality_exe3114 It might have been the Astral Planes reaction to Noah Prime to counter it like an antibody but unless there's ever a sequel we can only theorise the reason behind the Astral Plane making Aether.
It's okay but I'm surprised they're not using the Gladius combo with Axe legion. That's one of the best tactics in combat for file is use your Gladius full combo with the Axe Legion and have blue shield on so you can get out the full combo and it wrecks any enemies health bar. Also have attack up 15% or 25% on your axe legion's abilities.
I like how the boss starts off slow, as if it doesn't see you as a threat. But once you get it to half health, the song kicks in and it throws everything it has at you, as if it's saying "Okay, you've got my attention and now I'm gonna fucking destroy you."
UltraViolence @ 23:19. I would’ve panicked and lost all chances of winning. But guy played it cool and didn’t care that he lost over 1,000 HP in 1 attack.
File 12 is honestly this game's biggest "secret". Few reviews talk about it and tons of people, even people who have the game and finished it don't realize just how much content is packed in the post game. It's almost like a bigger Bloody Palace that you can do at your own pace. And then there's this. Justifies the game's price tag on its own (though it would be worth it even without)
@@edwinvargas7969 everyone was busy with those first party games that they completely forgot about this game entire existence in about a month after its release. such shame for game of this quality
Suferre Noktem That's exactly what i was thinking! Sure they're doing a good job at evading him but just playing it safe will make the battle much longer, which increase your chances of losing and having to do it all over again. And even if you do succeed your ranking will suffer cause you took so long. The trick is to play aggressive (at least in the first phase) but also to go for the howl stuns and backstabs. Each backstab has a chance of stunning him, thus letting you deal more damage to him, and if you keep hitting his back you'll keep stunning him, rinse and repeat. That's how i'm able to go through the first phase with relatively little issue. In the second phase he goes completely balistic so playing it safe then would make sense, but again, take too long and your ranking suffers. I was able beat him in 4 minutes on my successful attempt and managed to get the S+ through the time bonus alone.
Freshpanda88 Getting heated at the beginning of a boss battle is fine, but it’s sometimes better to stay on the sidelines if the bosses are really erratic with their attack patterns. People who play Dark Souls know that way too well.
Jesus Christ! Aether does not hold back at all! I know it's common for true final bosses to be the original final boss on steroids, but this? 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Bravo, man...
As a guy who finished it on causal, it's actually insane seeing how different the way you play is and all the switching and managing you do hah. I could barely get my legion to go the direction the way it thought it should
Hafiz Mode I would generally like to think the person playing the absolute living hell out of this boss must’ve gotten the item for this already. I have the game but haven’t actually “finished” it because I’m going back through it to do the missing stuff and get the good rankings
For most of the first half, I would primarily use Blue Shield to get in close and stun with Axe Legion, while also using Beast's Roar and slow time with Arrow to stall it. Also used Sword to cut the lines to the clones, and Arm to throw back the stones it would rain after lighting. Then the second half I basically relied on Perfect Calling Arrow Legion the whole time.
Pedro Monteiro File 12 is strictly post-game content for those that want to have some more fun and want to be challenged. There’s no story. However, I still think that, while it’s pointless, it you think that the combat is your favorite part of this game, this’ll definitely be where you would have the time of your life.
A couple times I was able to stunlock the damnable thing throughout its entire first phase, but the main problem is the 2nd phase. took out another 30% with the Legion fusion, and equipped for crit chance + crit damage allowed my axe legion to deal 1.1k damage every 1/9 times (regularly hitting 400x3 with a player character circle attack into a sync attack at its back) but yeah the biggest savior us Howl and slow arrow.
I’m gonna be a little animu from 20:24 where you go Legion Fusion aka devil tigger. I imagined all the legions surrounding you going with the beat of the music and continuing to beat the shit out of the boss
Wow, looking back on all these comments is just fun. People are so wowed by the sheer ferocity Aether offers. She's THE hardest boss I've ever fought in games. It took me ages to kill her. Thanks to a tutorial I found I finally managed to beat her in about 10 minutes or so, maybe less. All I remember is using all my legions with hit rush and timing my spicy cobras so I could get big damage on her. One spicy cobra each stage, coupled with power charge and attack boosted Axe legion will MINSE Aether's health. Looking back, this boss is really fun because it forces you to think on your feet and utilize all your legions in a way you haven't been trained to throughout the game. And in true Platinum Games fashion, compared to Final Noah Prime, Aether is in a different universe. And FNP even has similar attack patterns and near identical gimmick.
@@caregalo2878 you dont need dodge all the time, thats why there are perfect call... you can dodge everything whit perfect call, all you need is dissapear and recall your legion...
@@nok8473 the proble with perfect calls is that they are Harder than the regular dodge , you don't need to assume that i am a noob only for what i said And i am not justifying the player in the video, i also would prefer to see an extreme fight and not a distance battle
Even though I'd love to fight this guy, my Switch's experiencing Joycon drift and it's making it impossible for me to beat even the early cases, since my camera goes crazy and I can't see shit.
i know this comment is old but i got third party controllers for the switch, imo the controllers it comes with are both uncomfortable and cheaply built, i got some actual good griping contorllers for both tv mode and handheld modes (the tv one is like an actual console controller), still couldnt hope to defeat this boss though lol
Oh I am so going through the story again to get all S+ ranks! I just need to get better with combat and unlock every Legion's tree fully, plus set up abilities that are really good, make sure to stack on healing, be careful as to when use big items like ResoMax, and get better with the other Legions. So far I'm only good with the Sword and barely adequate with Arrow.
i know this comment is old but imo once you get used to axe legion its amazing, both defensive and does huge damage with its gladius combo hes my go to on boss fights....i havnt fought this one though
This game could have only been better if they brought back Jamie Christopherson to do the OST. Imagine if the music was on the same level as MGS Rising Revengence. Epic.
I would yell RULES OF NATURE every time I use the sword legion's blade mode, and I'M MY OWN MASTER NOW where i used the beast legion. Astral Chain has a nice OST already but if it had something as powerful as MGR, it would only height the experience.
Just beat Aether. Great game, great boss - though honestly i just straight-up skip the first phase by continuously stunlocking him repeatedly with the Axe Legion + Sword X-Baton until he's engaging in phase 2. With the proper timing, and by using the ATK UP juice, you can do Phase 1 absurdly quickly.
can someone help me? i beat all the cases including this boss on S+ (goood lord was that a pain to do) and yet there is one more case but its not popping up on Olives cases i'm 70/71 :-( EDIT never mind i figured it out. :-)
Took me 3 days of practice to beat this annoying boss. Took a more conservative approach making sure I always had the blue shield active when attacking. I mostly used crash bomb attack with stacked attack upgrades.
Can you describe how you equip your legions? I mean, I hade already maxed my character level, legatus and weapon and I am having real issues with the last boss in ultimate and some of the R3 missions in FILE 12
I fought this battle in a different way i used mostly axe legion in the first phase keeping the pressure with stunning attack and the second phase just used the Fusion and finished with arrow legion
Damn, I haven't even played this game and yet my palms are getting sweaty when the vocals kicked in the second phase and the boss went overdrive. Great work. BTW at 20:50, was that a calculated risk? You nearly got balled there :p
it was fairly calculated, he randomizes between several attacks at random and i didn't know what he was gonna do next, and if you get hit in this form you get stunned easily and die (which is why you blue shield first). So after the flurry of attacks I dashed and ran away lol.
@@RinHara5aki Honestly, I thought you went to finish it off in a stylish way with the Legion form and miscalculated lol Anyway, thanks for the awesome gameplay vid, might pick this up when I get the chance.
@@asmarmoria3892 Nah you get two legion forms chances in this fight if you use the resonance refill, this was just a chance to whittle down his HP a lot, the second time was for the kill
Bigboss01 While that is true, the guy playing in this video was playing too passively. There were many times where I just thought, “You have the shields! Wack him with your legion AND yourself!” because the boss was stunned.
Crislak Ngl I kinda thought the same thing when he had his shields up. Not to mention the howl/hit rush combos they kept doing. There were too many times I kept thinking “Kill him already!” Of course barely anyone knows you can just hold the left bumper and press ZR over and over to launch long range hits while in fusion. (Edit) Long story short, never rely on Legions too much.
Dlc will only come if the game sells well. Platinum games doesn't have any dlc to release any time soon. So go convince everyone you know to get astral chain.
@@thealmightyonion1196 I believe they already confirmed that there was no DLC and that if this game did well they'll make it a series instead. Sad that there's no DLC but hey they confirmed today that the game did really well so we can expect a sequel sometime in the future.
Who is Aether, and at what part in the game does it appear? Is it a postgame thing after beating the entire story once? And what's the deal with it? Is it more powerful than the final boss?
So if im not wrong i just beat the game today and after the ending you kind of get mission to clear , and its written 70th combat mission so this secret boss is after you finish the game
Boo Destroyer I was the one playing. After you beat the game, it’s technically called “Olive cases” and you have to beat 70 combat scenarios before you get to this boss. It’s NOT easy the last 20-30 fights were insane (Such as fighting 3 bosses at once 3 times). This is the very last fight.
How do you unlock the secret boss is it in New Game plus, because I was wondering about Secret bosses, and I couldn't find any sources on them in this game?
Is this real or fanmade. I’ve seen the same video on other channels. Exact same video. So is this a real in game fight or just a really realistic animation?
I'm just curious I'm at post game and only like 7 or 6 files away from reaching aether how hard is it to perfect call aether's attacks when he is attacking you with his hand swords? (Edit) I seriously can't wait to reach this fight it looks so fun and definitely difficult
You familiar with the Hit Rush attack almost all Legions learned? That attack unchains them as they attack on their own for a brief while. As they're attacking, you can switch to another Legion.
@@MrSentinel07 Oh, that's really clever. I never took much notice of the fact that it mentions they're unchained except that maybe Chain length wouldn't apply (though I ignored that stat as well), but I'd have never thought of that. That's brilliant.
I know, I beat her 7 times in different ways. The trick is to go for the howl stun for both phases because phase two is relentless and you can’t get the stun with hit rush and combos with the axe Legion
@@henriquemarques4903 You can do this in under a minute fairly consistently, fastest speed is just over 30 seconds atm but I believe its possible to do in under 20.

this boss look impossible for me....but this girl and this music playing....i strat singing the lyric , praying for her victory !!! go howard go !!
6:07 That last minute save from the dad was awesome.
It's also known as the axe legion but whatever
I'm personally a fan of 22:56
The moment the intro song kicks in, it gives this battle an entirely new dimension of awesome.
I was kinda hoping the secret boss will be a sparring match against Marie who recently got a Legion that looks suspiciously like Lappy.
A Marie secret boss fight would have been awesome.
That'd been hilarious. I need this if they make another game.
that reminds me that jin canonicaly thinks marie kicked his ass while wearing a lappy suit

Can't wait for the dlc
Hahahahahaha me too
Dlc will only come if the game sells well. Platinum games doesn't have any dlc to release any time soon. So go convince everyone you know to get astral chain.
@@thealmightyonion1196 yeah my answer was just kind of a joke because I know they deconfirm DLC pretty much
I'm having a blast with game. This boss fight looks amazing!
@@thealmightyonion1196 I believe they already confirmed that there was no DLC and that if this game did well they'll make it a series instead. Sad that there's no DLC but hey they confirmed today that the game did really well so we can expect a sequel sometime in the future.
Real fight begins at 7:14.
Took me 3 hours it was almost impossible but i beat aether and omg im so relieved i finally fully beat Astral Chain!!
1st time took me 7 hours and now the other four times took me half an hour to an hour
Who is Aether, and at what part in the game does it appear? Is it a postgame thing after beating the entire story once? And what's the deal with it? Is it more powerful than the final boss?
So if im not wrong i just beat the game today and after the ending you kind of get mission to clear , and its written 70th combat mission so this secret boss is after you finish the game
Historia But is there any context to Aether? Any cutscenes that explain its deal before you fight it or anything?
Boo Destroyer I was the one playing. After you beat the game, it’s technically called “Olive cases” and you have to beat 70 combat scenarios before you get to this boss. It’s NOT easy the last 20-30 fights were insane (Such as fighting 3 bosses at once 3 times). This is the very last fight.
Also no there’s no context to story with this boss as far as I know, all you get is a badge saying you defeated the most powerful chimera
My question is, why not fuse? 23:20
Fusing does not make you invincible by any means, had he fused right there and then he would have most likely gotten rekt.
How do you unlock the secret boss is it in New Game plus, because I was wondering about Secret bosses, and I couldn't find any sources on them in this game?
It's in postgame after you beat all 70 of Olive's cases
Is this real or fanmade. I’ve seen the same video on other channels. Exact same video. So is this a real in game fight or just a really realistic animation?
this is a real fight, i had to beat all 70 olive cases after you beat the game. those videos were ripped and copied off of this one >.>
RinHara5aki ok. Thanks
RinHara5aki you’re the best 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I can't believe after all that you get awarded a freaking empty can 😑
nice
Strongest enemy in the game and it drops a fucking empty can at the end...nice
I'm just curious I'm at post game and only like 7 or 6 files away from reaching aether how hard is it to perfect call aether's attacks when he is attacking you with his hand swords? (Edit) I seriously can't wait to reach this fight it looks so fun and definitely difficult
How do you get to this boss fight?
Beat all 69 missions then you fight this fiery foe
How are you able to have two Legions out at once? I didn't touch the post game content, so do you unlock it there?
You familiar with the Hit Rush attack almost all Legions learned? That attack unchains them as they attack on their own for a brief while. As they're attacking, you can switch to another Legion.
@@MrSentinel07 Oh, that's really clever. I never took much notice of the fact that it mentions they're unchained except that maybe Chain length wouldn't apply (though I ignored that stat as well), but I'd have never thought of that. That's brilliant.
is after the... Noah right? It comes to epic battle when the Secret Boss Aether is like the brother of Noah.
this is boss is on the fight files on chapter 12, you can call this the endgame content after you finish the story mode
Is that empty can made of solid gold like wtf kinda reward is that
It's the repeat reward...
so, there's no extra ending??
i had no idea there was a secret boss what
I know, I beat her 7 times in different ways. The trick is to go for the howl stun for both phases because phase two is relentless and you can’t get the stun with hit rush and combos with the axe Legion
Does anyone think it was an emissary for the astral plane's masters
What is the OST that plays throughout the fight? Its Really Good!
It's the OP
@@magnesg1459 it’s savior
Epic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sheesh.
Just beat it, second try. What a fight! Mine was faster tho, I believe it's possible to do this within 2 or 3 minutes with some luck.
Henrique Marques I think it took longer since they was playing on the most hardest difficulty
@@treaon511 Not really, the difficulty is preset since it's a file 12 mission.
@@henriquemarques4903 You can do this in under a minute fairly consistently, fastest speed is just over 30 seconds atm but I believe its possible to do in under 20.
@@Abarax Right. I didn't know about confusion strats and such back then.
So do I find this boss?
