Locked and Loaded/Rules of Nature (GRAD Mix)

As far as my preferences go for boss fights in this game, the GRAD is...meeeeeehhh. Probably my least favorite honestly, although that's not saying much, seeing what kind of competition he has. Even his older brother RAY, who is fairly easy to deal with, is so much more badass thanks to all the over-the-top madness of R-00. Plus they re-use the GRAD as a regular enemy in the chapter right after you fight him, which makes the fight seem a little more trivial. Of course, that's all just my opinion, so it's completely debatable.
As far as the music goes, my original mix for Rules of Nature was more oriented towards the RAY boss fight, but it didn't really have that OST feel to it. Thus, I wanted to make this one more OST-like to compliment that one. Plus, I feel like Locked and Loaded almost suits the GRAD better: whereas RAY had a lot of projectiles to use against you, he still had a powerful means of attacking you with melee (his heat blade). On the other hand, the GRAD's primary form of offense is all of his projectiles, and his melee attacks with his feet and shields are a defense mechanism to knock you away, out into a range where he could missile you and you couldn't really attack him. The part of the fight that Locked and Loaded represents is the section where he's blocking that tunnel in the research facility and only shooting you with missiles, so that helped reinforce the use of that track, as well.
All in all, I'm satisfied with this mix. As with the RAY-mix (oh boy, here we go again), the transitions are a little jarring thanks to the loud riffs at the beginning of each measure. This time, though, I had an ace in the hole to smooth those transitions out. ;)
"Mexico - Research Facility", "Locked and Loaded", and "Rules of Nature" were composed by Jamie Christopherson, as a part of the OST for "Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance". I claim no ownership of the original works, but I do claim responsibility for mixing them all together to create the final product that you're listening to.
You can check out my first mix for Rules of Nature here: • Rules of Nature (RAY-mix)
Also, thanks to Hayden Storm for the awesome drum solo that I used in the transitions between songs!
Hope you enjoyed the mix! :)

Ripper mode helps if you don’t wanna use Fox blade
IMO, the GRAD is by far the most realistically effective of all the Metal Gear attack robots. Upon trying Revengeance mode, I got locked in a room with 2 GRADS who spammed stun-locking rocket attacks... IN A ROOM FULL OF EXPLOSIVES.
Surprisingly, I found Revengeance far easier than Very Hard. Likely due to my prior experience beforehand, and understanding their attack patterns very well... Trust me on this, the Wooden Blade and Mistral's Pole will save your ass. Wooden Blade will do some side damage to lower them to 10% as you get parrys, while Mistral's pole does the same. When the GRAD starts to fire missiles at you, slide under it and unleash hell with the pole. Make sure to get at least three perfect parry's, where you'll then be able to deal a little more damage to kill it at 10%. If you get 4 perfect parry's, good for you.
@@Averi0 you saved me lmao
Well the GRAD was especifically designed to counter cyborgs
GRAD is just a walking armored tank. No funny animal inspiration. It's just a walking weapons platform.
The brutal realism gets points from me imo
@@jooot_6850 Ukraine knows how to build practical, yes.
Something about GRAD is just intimidating to me. From its ability to be an absolute tank to endless barrage of bullets and missiles. An absolute asshole to fight against
Well, GRAD was made to be extremely anti-cyborg.
Thing's a fuckin tank. It's probably my favorite UG just because it's a big f*ckoff artillery platform
That's probably because it's Ukrainian. The honeybadger of countries built it.
@@jooot_6850 fuck grad, it's such a Cunt to No-Damage, I cannot bear Fighting the Desperado GRAD again

Well he deleted his comment
I honestly love the GRAD design, concept and gameplay-wise (imagine *this* being in MGS 2 and 4) _especially_ when it falls flat on its ass when you style on it super hard. Never ceases to crack me up.
It's fine on hard, but these things are a fucking unit above very hard and it shows my hate for stun mechanics in every game like nothing else.

The transition made this sound just so much more *HEAVY*
It dropped like a boulder. And it felt so righteous!
A faceoff between two GRADs on Revengence mode with no repair packs....
Only then will you reach your true potential...
+TheBadwolf007 ouch :O had to fight Armstrong with no repair packs on normal and it was a bitch to beat but i found it easy after some time studying his attacks...
Felled them both in but moments. Without the FOX-Blade, mind you.
i didn't have fox blade or Sam's sword at the time i played that
I see. I was personally using the Stun Blade. It's my favorite.
after my first playthrough i used them all expect those you need to preorder
That transition was amazing
Thanks! Like I said in the description, I had some help with the transitions this time, which made them much easier to pull off. xD

Oh come on, the GRAD isn't the worst boss. That would be the Hammerhead. At least the GRAD is rather badass when its flinging a veritable storm of projectiles at you, the Hammerhead on the other hand has no cool attacks and is far easier
Klik'ssi Ikub'ra I honestly don't even consider the Hammerhead a boss, lol. It's usually dead in a matter of seconds when I play, whether it's on a fresh game or revisiting a chapter. So if we're considering that a boss too, then yeah, Hammerhead's probably the most forgettable boss, but if not, I still think the GRAD is lowest on the list.
***** True, that entire level is kind of lame. I think the Grad should have stayed in tank mode the entire time so it could fire all of its weapons at the same time constantly while sliding around.
Snippy Does he? I never had much trouble. Revengeance and no damage was a bit annoying at first, but it's not that hard
+Manek Iridius I don't remember Hammerhead, at least not a boss in the way you are descr-
wait. Is it that thing on the way to Mr. Memes(Monsoon)? Oh god, I feel like such a dumbass. When I first played the game, I had NO IDEA how to get to it. ;-;
Joshua Wood Uh, no. There was one in that level, but the boss Hammerhead was in Mistral's level
Oh my god... Those chills though, man. Every time I hear that scream, "RULES OF NATURE!", the chills are real. I have goosebumps right now just listening to this.
Scoring any blade clash in a fight with that line makes it 10 times better

Persoally never saw him as a boss..Sure,he was one big armed U.G,but he did not give off the same threat vibes as the Ray or Bladewolf did. He was just..eh,he was just a regular enemy with awesome music.
Don't forget GRAD is designed as a mobile bunker. It's pretty beefy for a UG
A mini boss in Capcom fashion. Becomes a regular enemy. Platinum is mostly former Capcom employees so it makes sense.
Fiend Matador Slayer of a Thousand Noobs being strictly technical, BOTH *BLADE WOLF* AND *HAMMERHEAD* ARE SUB- BOSSES since they are not the final bosses of their stage (that one is Mistral). GRAD is a boss since he is the final boss of its stage . Doesnt matter if it doesnt talk or if it doesnt have his own unique lyric theme, since he has a LIFE BAR and is faced at the LAST PART OF THE STAGE, he IS a boss
@@mikeg8876 well, the only reason beside it is a boss in its first appearence, it is because maybe the later ones are from *different color* LOL ,the same as Blade Wolf's non AI models and the Mistral/Monsoon extra store bodies...
This boss is what forced me to learn to parry
I feel like this is what can be op in a city combat. Able to slide rapidly, shoot bullets and missiles and to turn into a turret. Truly the trouble to deal with
Man, you mixed this two musics in a heavenly piece of awesomeness!
the rules of nature bit starts here 1:25
Awesome remix! Was I the only one who liked this boss? The whole transformation and rocket propelled strafing thing was cool.
if you wanna skip the buildup, go to 1:26.
That transition from Locked and Loaded to Rules of Nature makes me nut ngl
Ayo same.
I remember hearing locked and loaded in this battle, but all the footage of this fight online has rules of nature. Kinda made me think i was mad there for a sec. Must have patched it out because locked and loaded isnt as cool or something
I thought it was a tank from the start until 2:57 it transforms into a Metal Gear.
Me too

You need to make an It Has To Be This Way mix now.
I've got one more mix to post before It Has To Be This Way, and then it'll be made, not to worry. :)
***** OK. :)
The GRAD boss fight was the fight I figured out that I didn't have to be tactical in this game, and can just spam the sword attack button.
I died a lot trying to hang back, take cover, and look for an opening.
Cutting a metal gear in half 2 seconds into the game didn't give it away for you?
@@TheMammalizerOLDI'm kinda stupid.
I wish they would reworked Locked and Loaded as GRAD’s theme like this remix implies. I like Rules of Nature but I still don’t know why they changed it in the first place.
My good sir, those are some nice transitions
dear god.... amazing!!! , congratz :D
Thanks! :)
Wait you guys fought two in Revengeance mode? I fought two on Normal difficulty
What? I only fought one on normal difficulty
@@demetriusgibbs6550 wtf
@@toolazytomakeaname1341 it was at this stage? I just remember that I had one with it's first appearance as a boss and after that I started to see two of them in regular fights as a standart enemies like those gekko or something like that. And yeah, it was in normal and hard modes.
GRAD looks like his "eldest brother" REX in biped mode.
It's dissappointing that i destroy the boss too quickly while wanting Rules of Nature to continue playing.
Everyone’s talking about “RULES OF NATURE!” when we should be talking about “LOCKED AND LOADED!”

Nice
Thanks! :)
I think I'm having a musicgasam
this is awesome! When will u do It Has To Be This Way?
Thanks! And I'm working on a second version of The Only Thing I Know for Real as we speak. As soon as that's done, I'll finally be able to mix It Has To Be This Way. They should both be up by the end of this coming weekend, as long as I stay on schedule. :)
Ok awesome, keep up the great work!
got trapped in a room with 2 grads in revengeance difficulty with nothing but an hf blade and 3 pastes.
i beat them and made it through the story and into the armstrong fight. just before the actual fight had started, i had used all my pastes and, still equipped with nothing but an hf blade, promptly quit the game for the rest of time
Why the hell do I have a link to rick Astley "never gonna give you up" on the suggestions
Yeah, YT's video suggestions aren't exactly on-topic with this video's content, lol.
*****
It recommends videos based on your viewing history.
But I've never watched any videos to do with that
You might've. I watched one video and somehow I got a suggestion for something that barely relates to that same one.

something about taking saving and sipping up mercury for the next fight
I didn't even think this guy was a boss...
you will
Do it on very hard and that opinion will change
I hated this boss. I used all of my EMP's and missiles on it, did a run-around several times, and STILL died on several occasions. Though I must say - Ripper mode makes this fight a joke.
Unless you fight on Very Hard; then there's 2 of them at once and unless you always move to keep one of them behind the other you will get constantly juggled by their missiles. They DO let you Zandatsu the second one so there's a big incentive to not split damage, but they look identical so you literally have to never take your eyes off of both of them.
***** Here's the easy way: Buy and equip Mistral's pole arm/spear/thing and all the upgrades you can get as soon as you buy it. Just spam Triangle/Y until you can chop the bastard to ribbons.
***** I ONE hit the second Grad once, I have no Idea HOW, but I did, I got it on video I think...
***** I'm guessing you were playing on Revengeance difficulty? What I'd guess happened is you parry-countered one of the GRAD's melee swipes; on Revengeance enemy damage is massively buffed and Raiden's damage reduced, but parry-counters do damage based on the damage of the enemy attack that you parried.
Yeah I was on revengeance, still never seen that against the GRAD before.
3:54
Fucking amazing. Made both versions better.
You should make another collective concius mix nased around the sam armstrong fight in the dlc.
And your remixes are good, and the it has to be this way mix must include the words "nanomachines son"
Thanks!
And I will think about doing both. Collective Consciousness was my first mix, so it's up there on the list of mixes needing re-doing. It's honestly not very different than the OST version for Sam's DLC, but I'll see if I can make it sound a little different.
As for including "Nanomachines, son"...we'll see, we'll see. xD
Wait... The GRAD was a BOSS?!
looks like we have an easy mode player.. ;-;

There's is no "difficult" mode. Try again.

there is. it's called "difficile" in French.

If only they had it irl
The transition theme goes to hard
someone reply to this comment once you have beaten GRAD with the fox blade IT IS SO GOD DAM HARD
I did it. And yeah, it is quite hard.
It's because since this is a boss and all that, the effect of the FOX blade is negated. Until you fight the GRADs after this one (which the FOX blade makes chew toys out of).
I know right?! It took me a whole 8 seconds to finally pull it off!
but don't worry this enemy returns later in the game as a basic enemy
Worst Boss, best theme. Right?
Alkis Leftheriotis Probably worst boss, most memorable theme for me. "Best" is too much of a general term IMO, too easy to misunderstand. xD
Yup. Precisely that! :D
***** Dat opening riff on Locked and Loaded tho
Worst boss, best theme? Funny, it reminds me of Sonic 06: a meeeeeeh game with AN AWESOME SOUNDTRACK (example: Solaris phase 2 a.k.a. Rabbidluigi intro)
It was just Rules of Nature with the opening part
It would be pretty cool if they used Locked and Loaded though, most especially considering they use projectiles
This is one of the worst fights when trying to get S rank on revengence difficulty
Fun Fact, this GRAD UAV is Ukrainian made.
No joke.
Russians watching Ukraine president deploy GRAD :
Anyone else S rank no damage the Revengeance difficulty mode of this boss? It's a bitch but do-able. x.x heh
