Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Part 36 walkthrough, including tips for the Sundowner fight and the Escape from Denver chapter.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    During the Sundowner fight, use charged Sai attacks to incapacitate him and combine with attacks that knock him into the air.
  2. 2
    Be aware of Sundowner's combo attack, which consists of 4-5 consecutive strikes, the last of which is an unblockable forward thrust. A well-timed Defensive Offense to the side is advised.
  3. 3
    Parry most of Sundowner's combo attacks, but be cautious of parry wars after a parry counter.
  4. 4
    When Sundowner uses his improvised polearm attack, easily parry it. He can do this up to four times.
  5. 5
    During the polearm attack, two cyborgs will join the fight. Focus on parrying the pole as Sundowner will usually defeat the cyborgs himself.
  6. 6
    After defeating Sundowner, you will enter Phase 3 of the fight. Watch the cutscenes.
  7. 7
    Once you regain control, you will be riding a Slider in a narrow area. Watch out for debris and obstructions.
  8. 8
    Shoot down more Sliders that appear with your missile attack (hit any attack button).
  9. 9
    Use Blade Mode when you reach the roof to cut through.
  10. 10
    Once outside, perform the Quick Time Event (QTE) by pressing Y+B (Xbox 360) or Triangle+Square (PS3), followed by Blade Mode, to end the battle and chapter.
  11. 11
    In the 'Escape from Denver' chapter (FILE R-05), fight two Armored Cyborgs and two Cyborgs.
  12. 12
    Wear down the armored cyborg with the [LEFT HAND ID] to acquire it.
  13. 13
    To unlock the 'Great Escape' trophy/achievement, beat the 'Escape from Denver' chapter in under 7 minutes. It is advisable to play through the chapter once first to collect optional items before attempting this speedrun.
