A few friends were asking for advice on fighting Balteus, so I went back and made a little video on it, figured I might as well share it here for whoever needs it, featuring my AC, Loverboy:

Balteus is very fast, but doesn't move frequently. Once it gets in position, it will use its missile rings and stay stationary for long periods of time. Don't waste your ammo while it's moving and save you big shots for when it's still, preferably right after it finishes moving. Likewise, adjust your range accordingly; Loverboy is a close quarters AC, so I have to make sure I always get close fast. Assault Boost is an idea, but since the arena is small, I prefer boosting there normally to have more control on my dodges.

Ideally you have a means of quickly getting rid of Balteus' Pulse Shield. Missile spam, pulse blades, pulse guns, shotguns, if you can work it in, work it in.

Balteus has very low poise ACS. It's very easy to break its ACS once it's out of shield, so you can get multiple breaks in between shields, if you are aggressive and/or greedy enough. When its Pulse Shield is low, you may want to reload and have all of your weapons prepared to capitalize on Direct Hits.

After Balteus uses Primal Armor (the big energy explosion) and changes phases, watch out for its 'flamethrower blade'. It's an intimidating attack, but it's very simple to deal with it: Change altitude. Simply boost directly upwards and towards Balteus, or, if you predict it's coming, go high (easy with quadlegs since you can hover there) and then drop down to the ground. Once Balteus has a fixed path of attack, its vertical tracking is poor, so instead of contending with his 'blade's' massive horizontal hitbox and active frames, simply change altitude. Balteus has a few variations of the flamethrower blade, but they are all dealt with by changing altitude. As for the fire blast, Balteus will use it if it flies high up, so you know it's coming: Quick Boost backwards as needed to not be in the blast zone, and ascend, as it hits the floor, but has poor vertical range.

Balteus' small salvos go directly at you quickly, whereas its big salvos linger a bit around Balteus first before homing in. Time you QBs accordingly.

Avoid being in a vector with Balteus when it starts moving, as it it'll likely use its chaingun to deal immense damage and ACS to you. Just strafe perpendicular to it and all shots will miss.

Finally, keep watch for the Attack Warning: It has a rocket shot that aims at you directly and its telegraphed by the warning. Simply QB to the side.

It's a fast fight but Balteus has some pretty severe flaws, as you can see! Hit it hard, greed forever, and kill it.

So I'm leaving work and something darts in front of me, maybe 10ft away, too fast for me to see what it is. Peek around the tree blocking my path and I see this

Just like... a whole ass hawk. Dude's gotta be about 1.5ft tall. Massive fucking bird. And it's just staring me straight in my soul like this, even as I try to move ahead. It didn't budge. And there's only this path back to my car unless I want to walk on a busy highway. So I have the option of Death By Raptor or Death By Truck.

So I walk in the poison ivy filled patch off the sidewalk. Guy still isn't moving. Still staring me directly in the eyes. And I do this thing when animals are behaving strangely where I'll talk to them, so I'm just like, "Hey, man. I don't know you. You don't know me. This feels really threatening. I'm just trying to get to my car, dude. Can I get some space please? You're a big fucking bird. I see those claws. You could kill me right now, but I'd appreciate if you didn't, ok?"

It didn't move until I was about 2ft away. Again: I'm as far from it as I can be without walking into the street. It clearly wasn't going to budge. I walk past, thing flies up (silent, btw. Scary) and lands on a brick wall a little further ahead

Anyway. Weird guy. Nearly shit my pants when I noticed a bird big enough to carry off a fully grown cat was just... there, staring me in the face, unwilling to move away from me, a human, something it should see as a threat. I watched behind me the whole rest of the way to my car, just in case this bird decided to help me shed this mortal coil. 10/10 experience. Super cool guy.
