Which is why god (Sarif) gave you Smart Vision. If you fall for the trap and get your augs disabled that fight is pure evil. If you have them active its actually pretty simple. Smart Vision to try and keep track of him, mines and grenades can be good for intercepting or protecting yourself. High jump lets you get over the walls easily. The best boss fight of the lot.

They throw in some berserked augs and robots. Though considering the floor electrifies every so often the enemies tend to get caught in it and never trouble you.

The bosses are a challenge, its getting tiresome listening to people saying how easy they are when they killed them using Typhoon. If you think the boss fights shouldn't exist, then take Typhoon and EZ Mode them, but give it a rest with the bragging about it.

This tbh, i've not upgraded anything apart from hacking and strength mods to carry more items, still surviving on 2 battery bar just before the second boss. the only extravagant thing i got so far was double take down. I tend to only upgrade when i see something that will require it. I might get 3metre jump next but not really seen anything that requires it.

There are LOTS of things for high jump. Easier navigation of areas, alternative routes, codes.

This.

I didn't take the Typhoon at all because of the way I was trying to play my character (completely stealth/non-lethal and honest), and the bosses took a few tries and a bit of thinking/tactics due to me not being equipped to just nuke them.

If bosses are easy because you took an Aug that them easy and your not happy about that.. Don't make that choice.

Spoiler...

I did the third boss without augs because I wanted to, I knew before I'd have to make the choice concerning it what would happen in that fight (got spoilt for me, but it was freaking obvious too), I still took it because it was an RP choice and I didn't just want an easy fight.

Possible spoiler -


Was having trouble with the first boss. Then I got him to follow me into the corner with the gas canisters. I shot them, he took a large amount of damage and I finished him off with a combat rifle to the face. Once I good the typhoon upgrade the boss battles became very amusing :)

... so why did they put the Typhoon system in the game? :confused:

I don't see how on earth playing a computer game warrant any bragging rights - ever.

Still a spoiler!

I wasn't entirely sure what I should be doing, I used the computers to open doors which let our a few robots and a few humans... the turrets were easy pickings with cover.

Are you just guns blazing it, i'm trying not to kill anyone if necessary which can add a lot of time to your playthroughs. i'm not stretching this out by any means the only time i go exploring is on the way to the next objective , i will divert if i see a hack panel, computer etc etc also if i see any doors i can go through i will explore where they lead. I've died about twice since i started once on the first boss and once from my own grenade. TBH i'm having a blast and i think getting blood out of a stone 25-30 hours in is a bit of an exaggeration. There are tons of Easter eggs related to other games did you find any of them , did you also find all the skill books if you left no stone unturned like you say then you must have found everything DXHR has to offer

Not at all, there were sections that clearly needed stealth so I used a mix of guns and stealth, agreed stealth takes two or three times longer and so that will add to the game length. I certainly didn't rush anything! I only found myself using brute force on a few occasions.

As for finding EVERY last easter egg in the game, I doubt it, but I'm not spending another 10 hours trying to find a pretty meaningless item/element.

I did however search every keypad, door and vent I found, every single one! That in itself took half the play time.

Why did they put the Analyse add-on in the game?

Half the comments related to the bosses in this thread are along the lines of 'omg I found them so easy, I just used typhoon over and over and they died! how can you find them hard?!'.
With the exception of the first boss who spams grenades too much and has far too small an area to fight in, the bosses have a reasonably predictable method of attack and can be overcome with the right augs and a selection of frag grenades/mines. Typhoon I honestly believe is there for people who just don't like the boss fights. They could've been done better with alternatives to having a shoot-out but they work quite well as they stand.

Yeah, I didn't have a clue either. I think I just ran around, hacked everything and went "welp, that was easy...".
 
Argh, 2nd play through complete. I didn't set off one alarm yet I didn't get the Foxiest of the Hounds achievement. Damn, it's the only one I have left to do. I'm not doing it all again just for it to fail on me again.

Well I might do, but put it on the easiest setting...

Maybe someone came across an unconscious guard or something after you left an area. I got that achievement on my first playthrough but I was a bit gutted I couldn't get pacifist.
 
I didn't use Typhoon once during my playthrough, despite picking the upgrade fairly early. It just didn't fit in with my style of play( i wasted so many Praxis points)
