Otherwise, I’d skip this in favor of something faster, like the second weapon. While not exactly a good choice for the first phase of the fight due to the weapon’s heavy nature, it can work wonders for the second one if you can land perfect blocks as much as possible.


In his first form, Shields rides a mech called Metal Armor, which is pretty tanky and requires no limb cutting or deflections whatsoever. The fight is a bit different from everything else you’ve faced thus far, mostly because of how Shields’ two phases are very unique from each other. The fight itself is quite symbolic, as the location is Project Utopia’s crash site Project Utopia is the nanite rocket from The Surge, which collided with the plane that was carrying you and Athena, setting off the chain of events for The Surge 2. At the very end of it is Major General Shields, who is all that stands between you and Athena. Before you reach AID Command itself, however, you find yourself in Gateway Bravo, a safe bastion at the edge of the city, where you meet up once again with Benjamin Burke and other survivors.ĪID Command itself is a vicious and unforgiving area, filled with tons of high-level enemies that pose a threat greater than any you’ve experienced thus far. After dealing with the Delver in Gideon’s Rock and conversing with Jonah Guttenberg, you begin your journey towards AID Command, where Shields and AID are keeping Athena and several other children hostage under the pretense of a rescue and evacuation. Major Ezra Shields is found in AID Command, the heart of AID operations within Jericho City. The fight takes place in Project Utopia's crash site deep within AID Command.
