2 WEEKS.
Idk why I found it so hard... Probably because of the part were you had to slice that tank/truck/thing he eventually throws at you. I could never get a perfect slice. Then, I found out you could dodge it.
Monsoon though... I beat him in 1 hour. Still insanely hard, but easier somehow.
Monsoon was painful but when I learned how to battle him correctly it took me like three to five tries. The second battle wasn't all that bad since he couldn't throw those scrap piles at you anymore.
As for Armstrong... My main grief about the battle is that there's really not much you can do, battle wise. You hit him a couple of times, he does a super fire move that you have to run away from, you run back, hit him a couple of times, run away again and repeat until the end of times. I got this part of the battle down but when he starts throwing those gigantic pieces of land at you I can get the first slice perfect but for some reason the second one doesn't allow me to aim high enough with the sword to actually hit all of the hot spots. Knowing that I can dodge it should help, so thanks for that.
It really doesn't help that I had only three nanopastes with me when I originally started battling him, used one in the first battle where you just had to bide your time (didn't know this yet) and two in the second battle without a sword when Raiden goes all serious (I really though it was going to be it) and now I have to do the FINAL final battle without any healing items.
After the realization that I wasn't going to win started sinking I was doing so horribly I kept dying in a matter of minutes so I threw my controller to the hallway and called it quits.
