Is there any other way I can defeat this boss? I broke my thumb a year ago and it never fully healed; I can't press that button fast enough.

Use your index or middle finger to tap the button. Those fingers tap a lot faster than a thumb ever could. Have fun with the rest of the game! http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Thanks, I thought of using my other fingers, but seeing how the controller was designed for thumbs, I thought it wouldn't work. It took forever, but my index finger managed to pull it off. Phew. Hope that guy stays away from me for a while so I can continue enjoying the game. Thanks again!

Most of the Warrior battles involve pushing him off the edge or into things. Use your sword attacks to push him. Sometimes you have to let him come to you, then strafe around him quick to beat him into where you want. It tends to be easiest when he form-changes and Elika has to beat on him; she does a good job pushing him back.
When you're about to knock the Warrior off, there's a quicktime event where he's about to crush you with his fat foot, then Elika swoops in. Mash X (or square) like CRAZY to help Elika shove him backwards.

I just cant hit Square button fast enough. How long do I have to keep hitting it. What should I do when Square button turns from blinking to red color.
Seriously this the worst quick time event sequence I have ever seen. Why all this complications.

If the button turns red, it means you failed. Try Zerban's suggestion from above: Use your forefinger or middle finger instead of your thumb to mash faster if that helps.

and when you get to that stage it does seem to b impossable so what i did was to put the controler on my leg and use my arm from the elbow down to it the button with my index finger. as soon as i tryed it this way i did it http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif hope this helps

Also I request Ubisoft next time dont include Press X button to defeat The Warrior. I am sure there are alternative ways to make this game intresting. I will try to defeat The Warrior again today if I cant regretfully I will swap this game with something else.

Ok, problems with knocking him into the cage? Simply knock him into the back wall of the cage. After the 'mash square' thing, the Prince will kick him into the wall and the gate will slam shut.

I found the easiest way was to stand on the edge of where ever you need the warrior to go and let him come to you. He will attack and send you into quicktime event to try and push you off. Win this and at the end of the animation your positions will be reversed, with the warrior's back to the edge, and it will only take 1-2 hits to push him close enough to trigger the quicktime event to push him off the edge or cage. I have beaten him in under a minute. That's my technique.

Well, I looked manually and I searched, and it seems I'm the only one not having trouble with the Warrior in normal combat, but rather right at the end.
In the final final (sic) battle with the Warrior, he's on fire. Elika can't hit him because he just pushes her away, the Prince can't cut him because he's on fire, and I could never seem to parry against that thing to the point where I'm not sure it's even possible.
I beat him in the end, though how that happened I've no idea. I sort of whittled him down from dodging his killing attacks and from what damage got "saved" in-between Elika rescues.
So, how do I hit that thing without getting hurt and interrupted when it's on fire?

There is a trainer +3 on Copy world that allows you to skip a battle scene using shift + K.
After pressing the key, the scene shows after he is pushed off the ledge...worked great!!!

I cannot tap fast enough. I have tried everything and am seriously thinking of just cheating my way through this. I believe this is actually a bug because it seems like the button-mashing is not humanly possible at the speeds required. I mash till I am red in the face. Is there a patch coming out that is going to fix this because it is certainly a bug and not a gameplay by design.
Eefjee
12-16-2008, 08:46 AM
The game isn't bugged or stupid, neither are you slow. After 10 minutes with this freak, I've realized that you don't need to tap the button as fast as you can! You simply need to match the icon. Instead of pressing the button like you have diarrhea, you need to match your "clicking" with the icon's: slow and steady.
When Elika is going to "cure" the Whatsitsname ground, you will have to use the same technique- slow and steady!
I play it on PC, in case it fails on SP3 or whatever. Good luck!
I absolutely love this game.

Just tried your method eefjee and no luck. After an hour of trying to find the tapping speed he still overwhelms me. The speed required to tap him out is superhuman. Anyone have a video beating him on a PC? Showing the mouse clicks of course.

That's very odd. I never found it hard to shove the Warrior. In fact, I don't believe I've failed once. And it's not like I'm a fast clicker. I take a very lazy approach with a relatively slow click speed of something like 5-7 clicks per second, about the speed of repeated double-click. Hasn't failed me yet, nor has it really strained my finger.
I did, as well, find out how to beat the Flaming Warrior. Every one of his hits, when blocked, will trigger a quick time even where he tries to hurt you, but if you hit the right button, you hurt him. He takes a lot of damage from what is usually a minor counter-attack.

I always used Elika to push him. He moves back quit a bit from a triple-Elika attack. I normally just make a beeline for the edge or the object I need to push him into. Face him with my back to that edge/object, and when he's close he swings at you. Roll around him, and then make Elika attack him three times. Works every time.
AdmiralWarlord
12-18-2008, 12:13 PM
Yes using erika to push him near the edge is an excellent way. Of course that doesn't solve my problem. Compared to the other timed events he is ridiculous. Most other bosses I just leisurely tap and easily defeat them. But when it comes to Warrior boss various speeds from slow to extreme don't seem to work.
I even tried something ridiculous as setting the space bar as the attack key. That way I was able to use all 10 fingers to increase the pressing/attack speed and still it is not enough. For this reason I believe this is actually a bug.

I sense a problem. I've tried the technique you've described in other games by pressing the same button with multiple fingers. What I end up with is the button actually never releasing, all counting as one button press. Granted, you said you tried different speeds, and if indeed you still can't beat him, then something's the matter. I have the PC version on an install I've done nothing to, and it pushes just fine for me.
About the only thing I can think of is maybe you start pumping late? Do you manage to keep holding out for a while, or does it fail immediately? A lot of these quick time events give you VERY little time to respond. My solution has been to anticipate what button I'll be asked to press and just pump it before the icon even shows up. If that doesn't help, I don't know.

You're not supposed to attack the Warrior when he's on fire. His health drains over the course of the fight. All you have to do is DO A BARREL ROLL until his health bar drains out.
AdmiralWarlord
12-18-2008, 06:30 PM
The fight feels like I am winning for 5-6 sec but then eventually he overwhelms me. Button mashing certainly helps because if I did not press anything then he overwhelms me instantly.
The thing that bothers me is that no other boss is like that. Every other time-event I beat effortlessly using very casual button mashing. But not this warrior boss.
@Zerban: He is not on fire. At least his animation never changes through the battle. And the problem is not whether I can attack him or not it is defeating the timed event.
O.P.P.
12-18-2008, 09:22 PM
^ Actually the first encounter with the Warrior, he's not on fire and that's the very hard part (it took me a bit of time to figure out the "reversal" technique). But the second time you encounter him, you're on a platform that kinda falls apart and the Warrior is on fire. I figured out quickly that you only needed to monkey around him once I saw his life bar draining. I snuck in a few attempted blows for good fun.

Hmm... I didn't notice his health was draining. Still, quick time counter-attacks seem to do a lot of damage to him, and they're fairly easy to initiate. Just block any hit coming from him.

Ubi-soft, I'm calling my attorney to discuss a law suit for Repetitive Strain Injury. You are uber-******ed for including this utterly impossible, thumb-traumatizing, sequence to defeat this boss. I am truly amazed that anyone's actually had the patience or luck to beat this Warrior character. I just counted 30 times I've knocked this ogre into the pillars and it will not complete the sequence. It's ruined the game completely and will go back for trade-in today, along with a healthy "beware" on every review forum and feedback site I can put my browser onto. Merry Christmas.
MinscTheHunter
12-22-2008, 02:01 AM
Even though his health will always stay at approx. 100%, raining down magic and acrobatic tricks on him WILL wear him down. So if you keep attacking him with acrobatic tricks and Elika's magic (not sword combos, he will just shrug those off), you should be able to tire him enough to make pushing him over the edge a considerable amount easier!
AdmiralWarlord
12-22-2008, 09:01 AM
Minsc are you serious? He gets tired after walking around and magic tricks? And after tiring it will be easier to push him off (aka less ridiculous button mashing speeds) ? Can anyone confirm?
MinscTheHunter
12-22-2008, 09:12 AM
Yes, I'm serious. Keep hammering magic-acrobatic combos into him, don't give him a chance to rest (so no walking around!!!), and it will become easier to win the button smashing! It works for me, at least.
And taken from the Official Game Guide:
<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">
"You must weaken the Warrior to heave it over the edge of the fertile ground landing. The only way to do this is to chain combos against the brute. Starting with a sword attack, though, will not get the job done. Instead, you must use the Warrior's great size to your advantage. Start an acrobatic combo by running toward the monster and using the dodge button."

Eefjee is right! I'm talking about the PC version, specifically where you have to push the Warrior into the pillars, but I think it works in other places where you think you have to press a button really fast - you don't! About 3 times a second, or the same speed as the icon flashes, works a treat, thanks!

In the end I asked a relative if they could stick around for a few and they helped me run through all of the encounters at once.
For your patience, I'm somewhat sure if you erased the game install(not the save data!) as you reach the end half of the game, it resets the total playtime and amount of saves from Elika. Bad side is the other counts(such as quickly killing the minions) gets lost as well.

I had that frustration too. I pressed the button very fast and according to the flashing x (XBox 360). Its pretty dumb.
I looked for an answer on this list and everyone shares the same frustration, but this morning I woke up with a great idea. Get a fine liner type pen with a flat end, ignore the flashing symbol, put your controller on a flat surface and go at it hammer and tongs like a pneumatic drill. Very little stress on your hand to do this.
In this manner, I defeated the thing in about 1 minute flat!!!!! It’s just a pity I wasted time on it for about a half an hour or more. I don’t like to think!
This is a no brainer on behalf of the programmer who conceived this.

I am surprised the quality assurance approved of this. I managed to get through the game using this method. Silly, isn’t it. If you use your thumb, it is also softer, so the reaction time is slower and not as forceful as using a harder object such as a pen. Also, I would imagine that some controllers are more sensitive than others. What is the point of putting this kind of thing in a game. It is not good ergonomically either.

I think I've had a bit of a worship-syndrome on Ubisoft since they released the first POP. And, owning each phase of the old xbox trilogy (and having worked through their various headaches), I was optimistic about the newest version for xbox360.
Lo and behold, the graphics were stunning, the combo sequences gorgeous (not to mention miraculously comprehensible), and the landscape diverting. It was my happy pill for the day. And I got to hack away at a hunter, mull on an alchemist. Do gymnastics with a psychologically intriguing concubine. I mean, hello! Thrilled! My top vote for RPG of the year (for what that's worth).
And then there was the WARRIOR.
-> Do you know I've been going at this for over a year?
It's been a lesson in endurance, and probably dumb hopefulness. You see, I enjoy games, let them draw out: play a little a day, if you will. Last summer I met the Warrior, and all my POP pleasure just - poof! - evaporated. I've never been so throroughly POed in my life. You see, I WANT to see the end of this game. I've watched youtube - the walkthroughs on the warrior, that is. I've been researching for over a year on ways to kill him. And I've been dilligently avoiding spoilers of the ending, because - well - again, dumb hopefulness.
<STRIKE>At this point, howevere, I'd settle for a sdksdfjsdhfsjh cheatcode. And do you know, I didn't realize x-mashing was outdated? But I now know why. Who the heck wants arthritis in their late thirties because they loved gaming and some programmer decided to return to his old-school primitive ape-phase? Jeez!
http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/16x16_smiley-sad.gif ...
Look: if anyone has any brilliant tips for how to beat this m-f- for the 360, I'd seriously appreciate it.</STRIKE> Because I want to invest in Forgotten Sands. I want to get back to my rampant idealism and the acrobatic monkey tricks. And I'd like the opportunity to get visual with Ahriman.
<STRIKE>So someone? Please? Help.</STRIKE>

Sometimes, yes. We wonder.
One tidbit in favor of Ubisoft, however: they listened to player's feedback on Assassin's Creed, and did an outstanding job with the second one. I only hope they've noted the primary concerns from their last POP product and have modified the new one. One strike, and I'm wary; two, and I suspect a great many other people will start to pull away, myself included.
----------------------
As for a video: The catch is, what I did, I did OFF SCREEN.
The on-screen walkthroughs I've been veiwing for the past however-many months had never really been much help to me because I couldn't SEE what the player was doing with hands and control. Nor did anyone who completed a session with the Warrior hint even slightly at his demise being a difficult venture which was exasperating.
I can say this: after trying just about every suggestion out there (and likewise, experiencing some thorough disgust and frustration), I really didn't expect the pen-mashing to work. And yet it has: three times. Blissfully.
What I did was as follows:
Find a flat surface (preferably wide enough that you don't have to worry about tipping it over), and a pen (with its cap on). I used the pen for gripping and the cap for tapping the button. I also prioritized the cap to make sure it wouldn't slip from the button (the one I chose has an inward curve at the cap's end making controlling where it lands a bit easier).
When I sat down to play (the Tower of Ormazd sequence), I kept the controller in my hands with my netbook's laprest on the ottaman in front of me (easy to lean forward and set the controller on). The sequence went as usual with the dodging and maneuvering. And then, as soon as the Warrior began to trip backwards (courtesy of Elika's lovely pushing), I dropped to my knees, grabbed the pen and - with the controller on the flat laprest - began pressing the x-button like a mad woman. Not hard; just enough so I could do it quickly and efficiently.
The next thing I heard was him crashing into a pillar! Best sound I ever heard (well, the opinion of the moment anyhow)! But its worked three times in succession so I could gain the Towers of Ormazd and Ahriman. A few minutes ago it worked again at what I believe is called the City of Light. Now I'm having a bit of difficulty getting across a sludge pit that crawls along the floor at the Queen's Tower (it lies b etwen the first two green pads); I'll figure it out.
One bad thing about pen-mashing (for me): I barely see the blasted dude tumbling as I do the pen-x-tapping. I have to stare at the controller, because I really don't trust my fingers to guide the pen accurately minus some eye-coordination. Let's just say, I'm abysmal when it comes to things that require precision in the way guiding a pen in tense hands repeatedly to a single round button demands. So I miss some of the fun, but I get to keep moving.
So! If this isn't helpful, I'll see if I can't record the hand movements. But I don't think you'll need it. ^___^ Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

I dropped to my knees, grabbed the pen and - with the controller on the flat laprest - began pressing the x-button like a mad woman. Not hard; just enough so I could do it quickly and efficiently.
The next thing I heard was him crashing into a pillar! Best sound I ever heard (well, the opinion of the moment anyhow)! But its worked three times in succession so I could gain the Towers of Ormazd and Ahriman. A few minutes ago it worked again at what I believe is called the City of Light.

What a freaking killer reply - thanks. The visual is hilarious. I can see my wife walking in as I'm trying this and thinking WTF?! You may have convinced me to go rent it and try one last time. Cheers.

This guy bugged me for quite a while, but then, trying different ways of clicking during the struggle, I found a way that worked consistently.
Curl the end of your finger, and use the back tip of your fingernail to tap the mouse button (at the furthest point up).
Worked for me 4 times in a row to beat him in the column fight, and got him 2nd try on the 4 gates battle! http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

I finally just started banging "X" like a Turkish Hammer. What a joke. Poor game design blows.

People people ! http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/16x16_smiley-very-happy.gif DON'T PUSH TOO FAST ! push at a moderate speed, not too slow but not extremely fast either ... the trick is to be constant ! after you start pushing the button, don't slow down or speed up the tempo.
It's not poor game design http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/88.gif the Warrior is the weakest boss in the game, I usually defeat him in a minute or so.

I am trying to defeat The Warrior since yesterday but unable to do so. I have tried everything even searched the youtube. Does anybody has cheat code to defeat this monster.
Also I request Ubisoft next time dont include Press X button to defeat The Warrior. I am sure there are alternative ways to make this game intresting. I will try to defeat The Warrior again today if I cant regretfully I will swap this game with something else. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
I just rented this game and I'm having the same problem defeating the Warrior. because I'm disabled from a stroke that affected my right side this part of the game is seems practically impossible. But because I like the rest of the game so far I want to get past this. Did you ever defeat the Warrior? And, if so, how? Thanks for replying.

Apparently I don't know what moderate speed is. Can you start pressing the square button too early? I'm recovering from a stroke and I probably can't mash the buttons as fast as most people but I just want to get by this boss. I can get the Warrior up to the side of the ledge where he is teetering but he never falls off.
