I did some testing and found new, easily replicated strat for Jack 2 for New Game easy runs (one cycle). I was able to do it 5 times in a row in training and also during my PB run later. Here is video how to do it:

This is a lot more reliable than mine I'll have to learn this one; it sort of removes that awkward trying to position him. I'm curious does the aiming upward have an effect on him? Like getting inside of Mia? Or is it just for hit reliability

Either way well done!

this is pretty cool thought about doing some ng sometime myself honestly

Thanks a lot! I'll try that as soon as possible! Jack 2 was a real problem for me

XTerminator, your strats worked fine most of the time but Jack 2 was still the biggest run ender for me. About aiming upward, I did it for hit reliability. Not sure if there is similiar thing happening as with Mia axe fight but it works :)

Agreed, most of my runs ended at jack 2, I even saved like 20 seconds before I got to him but didn't get one cycle and there the time was gone. I'm still working on more reliable Mia strats doesn't seem to matter where I position my two hits are so unreliable. I'm sure there's something more to do with hit timing and angle over where you stand since I've gotten two hits from doing it from the front.

But the aiming inside of him is definitely more reliable!

Wow! Nice one, thank you very much for sharing this :)

XTerminator I really hope you can find good new Mia strat, it's problem for me too. It's never guaranteed 2 hit and resetting at Mia and watching all the cutscenes again is so frustrating..

I'm testing it more today, hopefully I can find something consistent. It seems like every time I find a good way to do it things suddenly change and she will swing around me with the chainsaw, she's just so unpredictable

Is it possible if you can use albert-01 instead? It's much faster, I believe. BUT need to more accurate.

rohan_king2003 new game,this is not for new game +

s1a1n1d1i, oh my apologies for this.

Loving the text tutorials and pauses in the video--I could watch it while muted and still understand everything easily.

I've been using this, I've gotta say it's very reliable, though I've noticed from my own mistakes it's still possible without using all the pistol shots you did and also without using the chainsaw swipes, I've done it just thrusting, mine have been mistakes though toneach their own!

But the key I feel like is the ducking his hit then the crouching thrust, that's what's made it reliable for me, so great job again!

XTerminator How many shots you actually need to use? Is it the same 5-6 shots and rest knife attacks like in your strats? This is good to know, it takes some extra time to loot those bullets. And I didn't know it was reliable with just thrusting, is it faster than doing the swings? And did you find consistent Mia strats? I have been testing it quite a bit but still no luck with 100% reliable strat :/

See I've done it with 5 shots and the rest knife swings but using the rest of your strat.

I actually think the swings might be faster, but I haven't timed anything yet if it is faster it's like fractional it seems to be more about the positioning that makes the 1 strat.

I haven't found anything consistent for Mia, during practice I can do it from all sorts of spots and 2 hit her 10 times in a row but then I get into a run and bam, can't do it for shit, it's all so uncertain. My most reliable and favourite one to do is moving right to the boards then looking left and lining up in the middle of the painting. It's the original method really and it's working best for me
