How to beat Roquefort in Hi-Fi RUSH
Roquefort’s attacks are fast, powerful and absolutely brutal. The main objective of this fight is to damage Roquefort when an opportunity arises, but you cannot go guitar-blazing, this fight requires a little patience.
First stage
Roquefort has several attacks which he uses in his wolf form in this early part of the battle. He will raise his claws and red lines will appear on the floor. These lines indicate where the attack will land, so try not to stick to it. Also, you cannot parry these attacks because they are too powerful.
Another attack is also claw-based, Roquefort will snap his claws yours. Again, you can’t parry them as they are too powerful, so it’s best to dodge for now.
Wait for a short break between attacks and use your grappling hook to hoist you up in front of Roquefort and attack him in the air. This is the safest option to attack him in wolf form as you are open to a few brutal attacks if you are on the ground. Combination attacks have proven to be the most effective attacking like that.
Call your friends as much as possible throughout this stage as they can damage Roquefort while you dodge its attacks.
Another attack he has is a dash attack. He will rush to try to crash into you, but you can easily dodge these as they are made to the beat.
However, there is another attack where he then rushes jump in the air. If this happens, try to be as far away as possible from Roquefort as it will smack the ground as it lands.
Additionally, another attack to watch out for is indicated by its tail. If he waves it several times in sync with the rhythm, this is an indicator that it is about to launch two small tornadoes yours. They only ever go in the direction Roquefort threw them, making them easy to dodge.
You have to keep calling in your teamdodging the biggest attacks and attacking Roquefort at the right time to lower his health.
Once his health bar is down to his last third, Roquefort will regain its human form and start running around the room. Chase him and attack him with whatever you want. If it’s shielding, call Peppermint to break it, and if it’s using V Shielding, call Macaron to break it.
Second step
After bringing Roquefort’s first health bar to zero, it will regenerate and appear as the wolf again. His health bar is back to full strength, meaning you’ll need to wear it again.
This time there are a few new attacks to watch out for as well as the ones he used in the previous stage
Quick attacks have become stronger, if a blue light starts flashing on Roquefort’s head so make sure you’re not in his line of sight. This is the indicator that he is about to attack. He doesn’t dash once though, he’ll chase you around three times with the dash attack, so make sure to keep dodging out of the way.
After you deal further damage to her, Roquefort will retreat and you will be prompted to summon Korsica. Call her and a bar will appear at the bottom of your screen.
Hit the controls at the right time in sync with the beat as they reach the left circle to gain enough momentum to push Roquefort back. Once you do this, he will be briefly stunned and this is the chance you’ve been waiting for.
Use your grappling hook pull up to him and launch all the attacks you have
Be careful though, once you see Roquefort start to move, you need to step back. Otherwise, he will surprise you with one of his attacks.
Throughout this section, try not to get too close to Roquefort when on the ground. He will quickly drag his claws at you and it can practically reduce your health to zero if you’re not careful.
Attacking Roquefort like you did before, using your grappling hook, is the safest way to bring him down. He will repeat the same attacks from this point and earlier in the fight until you bring his health bar down to his last third again.
Once that happened, Roquefort will become his human self one more time. This time he will run to the end of the room you are in and it will be protected by a laser grid.
There will be a hole in the grid that you can cross, just wait for him to appear and use your grappling hook to quickly pull yourself up to Roquefort. When you have reached it, attack it with all the attacks you want.
Once you deal damage he will run to the other end of the room and you will need to repeat the same steps. That being said, there will be laser drones shooting at you so you can parry them or just ignore them to get through the gap.
Final step
After bringing Roquefort’s health bar to zero, the wolf will come back one last time and there are brand new attacks for you to watch out for. However, this time there is something specific you now need to do bring down Roquefort.
One of the two new attacks is designed to degrade your health and make you vulnerable. Roquefort will snap its claws and send you waves of money. Jump to dodge these waves, they are more dangerous than you think.
You can use your grappling hook to attack Roquefort during this time, but doing so will only slightly damage his health and put you in danger.
The second attack is the one you’ve been waiting for.
Roquefort will dive into his pile of money and disappear. Look at the ground, it will pulsate and show you where it is. A the metal hand will appear out of the money and a mound with a piece of Roquefort sticking out will appear nearby.
You have to stand near the giant metallic hand. When Roquefort comes out for money, it will launch itself at you. If you are near the metal hand, it will briefly stun on the hand and make itself vulnerable to your attacks.
While Roquefort is dazed from hitting himself with this hand, use your grappling hook to close in on him and call in your entire team to attack him. While they attack, use whatever attacks you like best to deplete his health bar.
You will need repeat this step several times to reduce Roquefort’s health bar to zero.
Once you wear down his health bar one last time, you’ll definitely take down this boss.
After facing Roquefort, you’ll be ready to finally stop Vandelay’s dastardly plans. Good luck!
