Major General Ezra Shields

https://thesurge2.wiki.fextralife.com/file/The-Surge-2/aid_command_wt_34_the_surge_2_wiki_guide.jpg

Phase 1

The fight will begin against "Metal Armor". The general will be piloting a two legged Robot armed with a Mini-gun and a flamethrower.

The Boss moves and turns very slow. Try to stay near him while going in circles around him and dealing some damage. He won’t be able to kick you if you stay behind him. When you see the guns point down jump backwards, wait until the attack is over and go in again to deal some damage. When he throws fire at you, just run in circles until the attack is over and then continue dealing damage. When you see he is charging the flamethrower jump backwards and wait for the flames to extinguish then go back and keep dealing damage.

 

Phase 2

The general will be expelled from the robot and will fight you melee with punching gloves. The armor will still periodically fire beams at you and use the flamethrower. You can destroy the flamethrower by selecting the robot and selecting the limb. A good strategy is going around the robot while the general chases you. When he starts attacking you, jump away and attack the flamethrower. Once the flamethrower is destroyed, the robot will only fire beams at you.

Major General Ezra Shields Rewards

Once you defeat the boss, a cinematic will play and you'll find yourself at the Underground.

Phase 1 Shield


The boss acts very similar to a Shielded Gaia. When shielded, it can perform fewer varieties of attacks but is better protected. You can break the shield by performing a vertical charged attack. Even with the shield, the boss will be open to attacks while using the Head Beam attack.


Phase 2 Without Shield


When you break the shield, the boss will have a larger array of attacks. Try to stay at close distance and spin around her while dealing some damage. The best opportunity to attack her is while she uses the Beam attack on her head, as she turns slow and can't cancel the attack.
After some time, the Boss will create a new shield returning to Phase 1.

Goddess Helena Rewards

Go inside the Hospital, you’ll see Eli’s Mayhem and a chest with 1x Large Pile of Metal Scrap will appear. Head to the elevator and go inside and you’ll reach The Great Wall

      I just wanna say your walkthru is so incredibly vague. I just followed this thing step by step trying to figure out where to go next just to find out that my issue is still at large. It simply says "bust the maglock" and warns that changes will take place once you enter. But doesn't even mention the keycard also needed. Idk where to find it or who to kill. I have like 3 different a.i.d. keycards but none of them work for 2 doors. The Aforementioned blast door and another one not even mentioned

      • Anonymous

        Same question. Farmed A.I.D. command for crafting materials, chests, etc., and kept checking that closed gate with scavenger sitting right there and muttering to himself "must be a way to get it". After clearing the top hospital room and the b getting force hook, returned to med bay and gate open, chest smashed. Went through underground, killed everything but wondering if maybe we are supposed to kill that scav.

        • Anonymous

          Is there actually a way to reach the loot crate behind the locked door, near the medbay? Or will it always be taken by the scavenger?

          • Anonymous

            "WARNING: After you enter the building and defeat the boss there will be a big change in the world and you may not be able to complete some side-quest or visit some locations." Care to elaborate?

              I have the aid command keycard and the aid keycard and are unable ot fight the general. Is gideons rock required to do this place as I am trying to skip it for a speedrun but this kinda killed my run.

                I got knocked down and fell to area outside liang wei hospital. There doesn't seem to be any way out of here. I'm stuck between the hospital entrance and a gate. Anyone else have this happen to them?

                • For the locked door next to the rad. Medicine, it's opened with a Keycard dropped by A.I.D Ronin, that 'should' be located in the Canal Back Alley (Post Ezra only). Inside is Ronin's Honor 5/5, and (assumed, as I was only missing 1 piece of the set, at the time) all the schematics for A.I.D Ronin armor.
