Starting Oppressive Force RE (2nd Loop) In Slitterhead

Doni is requiredfor taking onOppressive Force RE (2nd Loop),meaning you can only select theRarity Companion.We strongly recommend bringingEdoalong for this mission, as hisBurning Edge Skill pairs tremendously wellwith Doni.

Aside from Edo,Rarities such as Julee and Alex will also work well,as herRevive All Skillis essentially aget-out-of-jail-free card,andAlex’s Blood Well and Bloody Blast combination works great against large groupsof Slitterheads!

Chase Yin Yue

WithYin Yuein your sights,begin chasing after him,having him quickly launch himself across the rooftops, seemingly disappearing in the blink of an eye. From here,head back toward where you started the mission,look up to find alarge yellow neon sign,and useBlood Jumpto reach it.

Jump off the neon sign onto the rooftop,thenrun up the scaffolding to the rightand follow it up toanother rooftop.You will seeYin Yue standing at the edge of the rooftop,looking down at the main street. Approach him to trigger a brief cutscene.

Yin Yue will turn into a Slitterheadand will make a break for it, running across the rooftops and neon signs, forcing you tochase after them.UseBlood Jump to get across the rooftopsuntil you have touse Possession on a random civilian to reach the building with a sizable gap.

Continue chasing after him until he leaps down onto the main street,summoning agroup of lesser Slitterheadsaround him. While he is still here,focus on the lesser Slitterheads first,usingBurning Edge and Angel Stepto eliminate them quickly.

After taking care of the lesser Slitterheads,hit Yin Yue a few times to have him flee from the area,causing you to chase after him yet again.

Defeat And Chase After Yin Yue

Briefly, after tailing Yin Yue again, he willsummon more Slitterheads,bringingtwo normal Slitterheadsforward while remaining in the arena. Like before,focus on these two Slitterheads firstbefore worrying about him.

UsingBurning Edge and Angel Step,you will have the two standard Slitterheads taken care of in a flash, allowing you tohit Yin Yue a few more times,causing him to run away yet again.Continue chasing after himagain, causing him to stop again to, you guessed it,summon more Slitterheads.

He willsummon two more normal Slitterheadsagain, which you willdeal with the exact same way as last time,ignoring Yin Yue until after you’ve defeated them. With the Slitterheads taken care of,Yin Yue will flee into the main street,forcing you to go after him.

Stop Yin Yue From Escaping

Following Yin Yue onto the main street will have acountdown timer pop up on your screen,giving youfive minutes to stop Yin Yue from escaping,while simultaneously dropping a Mantis Slitterhead in front of you. As tempting as it may be,don’t attack this Slitterhead and continue chasing down Yin Yue.

Continue Chasing Yin Yue

From here, you mustcontinue to chase Yin Yue down while lowering his healthquite substantially, or he will escape, having you fail the mission. As you chase him around the city,more and more Slitterheads will be spawned. Ignore all of them;Yin Yue is your top priority.

When you’reclose to Yin Yue,use yourBlood Weapon to deal with a decent amount of damageto him,causing him to fall over from time to timeand giving you the green light to unleash more skills onto him for substantial damage.

Since you haveDonion your team, utilizing hisFatal Lanceis also an excellent way todeal damage to him as he’s runningaway. The same goes forswitching to a random civilian and using Blood Poppers.Once his health is almost depleted, he willrun back toward the main street,triggering another cutscene.

And, just like that, you are now tasked with fightingtwo special Slitterheadssimultaneously, pitting you against theWeedy Scorpionfish Slitterheadand theWarty Frogfish Slitterhead.While this may seem daunting, it’ssurprisingly not that bad.

Our advice here is tojust focus on one of themwhileusing your Skillsto make quick work of them. If you selectedEdoas your companion, using hisBurning Edge will allow Doni to carve through one of them almost instantaneously.You can occasionallyswitch to Edo to use his Angel Stepas well, but it shouldn’t be necessary.

Eliminating one Slitterhead will leave you on aone-on-oneencounter with the remaining one, essentially allowing you todo the same thing.ActivateBurning Edge and just go hard with your Blood Weaponfor massive damage.

Switching to Edo to utilize his Angel Stepis also a solid choice, as it willevade most incoming attacksfrom the Slitterhead, making it even more deadly when paired with his Burning Edge. Overall, thisencounter isn’t nearly as challenging as you might think,especially with Edo on your side!

If you chose Julee or Alex, this encounter will be a bit more challenging, but utilizing their Skills will allow you to go all out for substantial damage. Julee’s Revive All makes her temporarily unstoppable, allowing her to spam heavy attacks and Sonic Claws to stun one of the Slitterheads. Alex’s Blood Well and Bloody Blast combo enables him to draw them to a central point for massive damage on both!
