Metal Gear Rising - Armstrong No Damage - The Politics of Silencing Foes Trophy / Achievement

-- READ THE DESCRIPTION -- Hidden Achievement!: The Politics of Silencing Foes Defeat Senator Armstrong without taking any damage on Hard difficulty or above. The suit can be unlocked simply by completing File R-00 on the "Very Hard" difficulty The sword I'm using is the Muramasa Blade which is the most effective and damaging sword for bosses. Get it by just beating Sam. This fight is in 3 stages.. Stage 1: You fight Armstrong with all your weapons and equipment available. I used a charged Pincer Blade attack because it does good damage and keeps a safe distance from him. If you use the Pincers, the first stage will go by quick. Stage 2: This is where he takes away your gear and you have to fight him with you bare fists and feet. This is the most tricky (I think) to go without taking any damage. Really you just keep your distance and evade all of his attacks. Don't block.. EVADE! Blocking will still inflict chip damage. Just rush in on him, throw a one-two combo and evade out of there. Keep that up till his health is at 98.5 or below. When his health is at 95.5 or below, any of his attacks that hit you will trigger the next stage and set off the checkpoint immediately. If he hits you, you cant pause and restart. You must start the whole chapter and defeat the Metal Gear again. Stage 3: This is the easy and fun part of the fight. get your combos in and counter/evade alot. I find that counter/evading is alot more effective than blocking. Avoid any interactive cutscenes if you can. This can prolong the fight and put a higher risk of getting damaged. When he throws the big junk at you, avoid blade mode and quickly dodge it by sliding under it. His attacks are very predictable so you should have no problem.
