Welcome to the final mission of the first chapter in Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon, “Attack The Watchpoint.” This guide will walk you through the steps to successfully complete this mission, including defeating tough enemies and finding hidden Archive Data. Let's get started!

Armored Core 6 The Watchpoint: Complete Guide

In this mission, you'll face two squadrons of enemies and challenging bosses. It's not just about combat, there are hidden pieces of Archive Data to discover. The most notable parts of the mission are the two hidden Archive Data pieces and the impressive bosses.

Confront Sulla

After dealing with the first set of enemies, you'll encounter Sulla, a great AC mid-boss. Sulla is equipped with advanced firepower and regenerative abilities. Defeating Sulla is crucial to progressing in the mission.

Annihilate The SG Squad In Sector 1

In the first area, stealth isn't an option. Drop into the water to choose your starting point for the combat encounter. You'll encounter two large cannons – swim along the left side to destroy them safely.

Then, move to the platform's front and eliminate the Light MTs. Use your radar to pinpoint nearby units. If you have a Plasma Rifle, a single uncharged shot can take out these units.

Find The First Hidden Archive Data

To locate the first Archive Data, head to the Laser Cannon farthest from your starting point. Dive into the water below to find a destroyed mech holding the “Comms Record: Independent Merc Comms” Archive Data.

Annihilate The SG Squad In Sector 2

Approach the second area cautiously. Instead of going directly to the checkpoint, fly up to the building above it. Take out the Laser Cannon at the back first, then eliminate the Light MTs while moving around.

Find The Second Hidden Archive Data

After defeating the second squadron, fly up to the rooftops. On the building overlooking where you fought the first squadron, you'll find a downed AC with the “Observation Data: Wave Mutation Detected” Archive Data entry.

Sulla Boss Fight

Prepare for the challenging Sulla boss fight. Equip your AC with:

  • Right Arm
    • Detonating Bazooka
    • 44-141 JVLN ALPHA
  • Left Arm
    • Pulse Gun
    • HI-18: GU-A2
  • Right Back Unit
    • Plasma Missile Launcher
    • Vvc-703PM
  • Left Back Unit
    • Detonating Missile Launcher
    • 45-091 JVLN BETA

Engage in a fierce battle, using your equipped weaponry to overcome Sulla's advanced firepower and regenerative capabilities. Coordinate your attacks and defensive manoeuvres to emerge victorious.
