Gonna try and put together a coherent Master King trial guide here
Spoilers ahead just so ya know
Will update later if I find better info.
3 titans, 400 rings.
- Sonic's stats are fixed
- Can only parry with Perfect Parry (when the string appears)
- Rings will be unavailable
Useful skills:
- Parry: Press L + R to knock back an attack. For Perfect Parry, you have to Parry at just the right moment, mainly when you see the silvery string which signals an impending attack.
- Grand Slam: After a parried attack stuns an enemy, press X + A (when signalled) to execute. This does a big chunk of damage, but also takes a couple of seconds to play out.
- Homing attack: Press A when you see the triangle symbol appear, and Sonic will zip right in and deliver an attack.
- Combo attack: Just press A repeatedly. This fills the Attack gauge (along with executing any other attacks), which allows Sonic to perform Phantom Rush when it's filled.
- Quick Cyloop: Binds the enemy so that they can't move for a little while. Land enough attacks on the enemy to fill your Cyloop gauge and turn it blue, then press Y during a combo to execute.
- Stomp: Does the most damage out of all of Sonic's faster attacks. Press B during a combo.
- Spin Slash: Does fair amounts of continuous damage for a short time. Press A during a combo.
- Cross Slash: Does fair amounts of continuous damage for a short time while moving you around the target. While in the air, press RT, then A.
- Loop Kick: Does very high damage in a single strike. While in the air, press RT, then B.
GIGANTO
1. Climb up onto its head without getting taken out by the red laser rings. Get the emerald and get past the cutscene.
2. Immediately boost straight in and start wailing on it with Combo + Stomp. Attack any available spot on it where you see the homing target. Remember to parry at just the right moment when it starts swiping at you.
3. Cylooping it will allow you more time for attacking before it starts swiping again.
4. Halfway through, it enters the second phase where the lasers come out of its back.
5. Boost in and start wailing on its face again. It will start trying to hit you with a laser from its mouth. Tap the parry buttons to get out of the way so you don't waste time blocking it.
6. It will also attempt a double-handed grab and try to monch you. Parry the grab before the arms swing forward so you don't waste time forcing its jaws back open.
7. Grand Slam or not, you're still aiming to do the most damage you can in the least amount of time.
8. Aim for more than 300 rings left (350 is ideal).
WYVERN
1. Climb the tower and get to the ledge. Be sure to do a figure eight cyloop so you don't run out of juice during the long run afterward. Jump onto the titan and initiate the cutscene.
2. Run along the long ribbon and dodge the blasts coming down the path, and so on. Get to the end, jump on its head, grab the Emerald, and start the next cutscene.
3. Boost up to its face so that it can start shooting missiles at you. You want to try and parry a missile as soon as possible in order to start doing damage.
4. Once it's stunned from the parried missile, zip right in and punch it, then perform a Quick Cyloop to bind it for a while. Punch + Stomp as much as you can while it's bound.
5. Once it's able to move again, it's going to try and swipe you. Parry when you see it spin around. Grand Slam, or just bind it again with Quick Cyloop and wail on it some more. You want to try and do enough damage to head straight into the next damage phase as quickly as you can.
6. After the cutscene, boost to catch up. Try to parry one of the first few missiles you see. This will not stun it; instead, once you catch up to its face, it will try to swipe you twice in a row. Parry when you see it coil around once, then after it swings around to face you again. NOW it's stunned, and you can bind it and smack it around some more.
7. After it breaks free, it's going to swipe again. It'll coil around counterclockwise twice first; parry as the tail passes in front of you the second time (it'll be facing you, but you might not see it). This will stun it again. Wail on it some more; once you get it down to about 20% health, it'll switch to the next damage phase.
8. It coils around you and fires a bunch of missiles in a QTE. Hit the button to block and throw 'em back. This stuns it again. You may not be able to bind it, so just wail on it the best you can. If it breaks free, it'll do the double counterclockwise swipe again, so parry. Hopefully you'll do enough damage quickly enough to move to the final QTE phase.
9. Block its dive, block its missile barrage, then open its jaws. Missiles fly in, boom, done.
10. Aim for more than 200 rings left so you'll have plenty of time for the last titan. 150 rings is pushing it.
KNIGHT
1. The titan will swerve around, kicking up spikes. You can jump + boost through those without getting hurt. You're waiting for it to slam its hand down (and kick up more spikes to dodge). Run up the hand, grind up the arm, then run up its body to get to its neck. Grab the Emerald and initiate the battle.
2. It will start spinning around the field. Move counter to its direction (or just move to the edge of the arena to get close to it as it swerves by) and strike once you see the homing symbol. After a while, it'll put up its shield, which stops your attack when you slam into it. Give it a couple of seconds to drop its shield, then wail on it some more. (Spin Slash seems to be most effective here.)
3. Once you get it a bit past halfway on its health, it'll do the shoulder laser thing, then throw its shield. The shield will fly around rebounding off the walls; fly toward it and parry it toward the titan (aiming slightly ahead of the direction it's moving). This stuns it, then fly in and wail on it some more. You can perform a quick cycloop now to bind it. If you can manage that, you should be able to do enough damage to go straight through to the final QTE phase.
4. Block the sword, then push it back when he tries to smash you into the wall. From here on out it's all cutscene. You're done. Now go have some coffee with cream in it.
I just fucking beat master king koco, heres my hot tip:
Do cross slashes constantly, for Giganto, cyloop him until he hits his halfway, then cyloop again to smack him down, and INSTANTLY parry his bullshit attack, he'll then go to phase two. Do this again and you'll be good.
For Wyvern, once you're super sonic, PARRY THE MISSILES to instantly get it to attack you, parry, then cross slash constantly, then cyloop asap, then bash them in more until phase 2. Once at phase 2, repeat the missle parry and parry the attacks, and cross slash / cyloop. This may take a few attempts to parry to tail and the laser, but just stay on guard and you'll get it.
Once at Knight, just start wailing on his shield and ram it into him, once you do that, Cross slash and cyloop, he doesn't seem to have a cyloop counter attack, so just go ham. In phase 2, beat him as you normally would. You should have plenty of rings to spare.
