[N!] Any suggestions?

DRL > Nightmare!

<< < (4/9) > >>

DaEezT:
I just found a bug/limitation of the engine that makes permanently clearing a level on Nightmare! possible: water.
I pulled a water lever and flooded the entire level with water. Corpses disappear/don't appaear on water tiles so enemies killed on water never respawn :D

Valkeera:
Well, at least the water's good for something... 8-)

Blade:
Wow, bows before DaEezT!! I knew it, but haven't realized, that i can use switches to such deed! Then Intuition level 2 anyway is most required perk in Nightmare! I need to try it! Only one problem - imho, later levels rarely have levers, that floods level with water, generally they floods it with lava or acid.

Before him 174 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
161 of those were killed.
3 of those were killed by something unknown.
1 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
And 3 couldn't handle the stress and commited a stupid suicide.

Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
Is he immortal? 6 souls claim to have killed him...
6 killed the bastard and survived.

Stupid respawning pain elementals crated a zillion souls and there was a huge room filled with acid in the middle of the level :/
On level 2 I killed two captains and then kept spawncamping them till I reached level 4 (they drop ammo) . After that I moved on. Tan(3) worked well agains commandos and captains with their auto fire but Im is defenitely more important.

Another thing came to me while playing. Maybe one should focus on chaingun/plasma on nightmare because you can 'harvest' them by spancamping humans. Of course the cells can be used for the BFG later but imo it could be a good idea to ignore rockets.

But I think it's possible to win Nightmare! if you a) spawncamp as much as possible early on to gain all the useful traits and b) take at least brute(2), berserker(1) and kill the angel for the spear. I killed the Angel with only that in my last AoD game.

DaEezT:
Last one for today.

I tried a combination of Soab/Ee/Reloader to make the chaingun more useful but I'm not sure how much it really helped. Tan(3) is defenitely very useful since you'll never be able to explore the entile level to look for armor. Im is not needed right from the start because meds heal double like they do on ITYTD. Apart from that it's pure luck really :p

Edit: Spelling. It'S late and I am Nightmare!ed D:
