Khamsin "Wolf's Pride (Blade Wolf DLC) - No Damage/S Rank/Very Hard - PC
This fight relies on split second reactions to Khamsin's "Sandstorm" ability, especially when he uses it outside of his overhead smash combo. Unable to be dodged or parried, the only way to successfully avoid it is to jump and stay airborne (e.g. using Chainsaw Dive). You need to react within a few hundredths of a second, or you'll get hit - however jumping during other attacks (such as an overhead smash) can be fatal. Other than that, learning the dodge timing for grabs, cleaves, and normal overhead smashes is key, as well as parrying his quick normal attacks in time. What makes Khamsin tricky is the large number of different combos and attacks he can string together, and the fact that he can do both slow and fast versions of every attack. Definitely one of the most fun and challenging fights in Metal Gear Rising, and most satisfying to beat!
