    [ACU Gameplay SPOILER] Impossible Button Mashing Sequence

    I've had Assassin's Creed Unity since its release, and recently found myself unable to continue along the main story of the game. The point I've reached is Sequence 7, Memory 3; The fight with Bellec and quoted: "first boss fight."

    I am aware that my computer is not meant to play the game, but it runs fairly well overall. If I could get some information as to a bypass to this, maybe assistance or troubleshooting it would be appreciated, but this is gnawing at what threads keep me to the Assassin's Creed franchise. Granted, if the game weren't to make Arno float in midair, unable to do anything occasionally, hair to fly like a runaway rocket (which is quite funny at first sight), and falling into buildings, floors, ceilings, or other glitchy places Assassins aren't allowed to go to, the game deserves better, just not until we see change.

    I've played many frustrating button mashing games before, I enjoy them only when its not repetitive. The first portion of the fight, no problem knocking him down to start the mash-fest, using my keyboard, mouse, controller (separate times, not all at once) I struggled to pass the first portion, which I out of luck did.
    Cutscene through the corner tower and to the front of the church, no problem with beating him up again, then button mashing. I am stuck at this portion, I went as far as to getting a program that spams a key as fast as every millisecond, still can't beat him as my conclusion follows; the game is not registering all of my button inputs, and it is infuriating.

    I had this problem last night, and in the support forum, I saw advice that helped me. This person (playing on console) said that he easily got out of the loop by NOT just pressing the button he was prompted to press, but also pushing forward and diagonally on the stick.

    I'm on PC, so I not only pressed E repeatedly, I also pressed down on W (to go forward) and occasionally A and D. Amazingly, it ended the loop almost immediately and I finished the mission VERY quickly.

    I hope it works for you too! Good luck, guys!

    unable to proceed

    I have come to the same point, up until now, I have enjoyed actually playing; even though there have been some points of madness. I have owned/played every AC that has been released and purchased this as soon as it was released. I do not however enjoy spending an hour mashing on my Alienware to pass a boss. sorry to say but haven't you evolved in your programming skills beyond this? To have made this (and future) boss based on skills and parries or even combinations been enough? Oh, wait that didn't happen, back to mashing. I will check back from time to time, but will put this on the shelf and will look for reviews on future releases before bringing it home.

    I have tried what you said, to push forward, left and right, no luck. Even I have tried to push E in the keyboard and B in my Xbox controller, at the same time, no luck again

    On PC, some have suggested tapping or holding down W or other movement keys as well as mashing E during the Bellec fight. Congrats it works for them, but it doesn't for me either. I think I'm going to stop wasting my time on ACU until Ubi actually patch this one. Button-mashing was OK for 'Dead Space', but pretty inappropriate to the AC series with much more elaborate fighting styles developed.

    Same here. I use right click instead of keyboard's button.
    It was Ok till the moment I started to jab Bellec out. He really doesn't want to! (Not that I want to) Bet he has some sort of AI.
    I changed everything: ratio, switched between window-fullscreen models, set my settings to lowest, pressed AWSD inside of my keyboard.
    Help!

    No SPOILERS, but Search for 'Bellec' for possible solutions. No guarantees though - I've tried everything and am now waiting for performance patch in the hope that I've actually bought more than half a game from Ubisoft.
