Title: YASD: Dat's me leg!
Post by: Flynn Taggart on April 22, 2006, 05:40

Okay. I now know what The Wall is. I went in with five large medpacks, one small; fought like a mutha, and died screaming as the Knights and Barons blew the livin' HELL out of the place.

Rockets kick ass, but they lost their appeal once the minotaurs got too close; it's amazing how desparate you can get once you realize that it (might?) be quicker to switch to a fresh, loaded weapon than to try and reload your combat shotgun.

Kornel, you rock. I just wanted to say that.

Of course it was your first time at the wall.

In the wall, your strategy is (or rather, should be) this: Destroy wall, fire rockets wildly in to left area, when you see an enemy, fire a rocket at it, if you see lots, fire one at the middle enemy. Never switch weapon.

Other than that, good game... *sees somthing*

On level 3 he found hellish caves.

GASP! Is that possible? Or are you just really, really unlucky?

Hmm? What's the importance of the caves? Higher Monster-Gen?

Note: This isn't my first time at The Wall, but it is the first time I had something to break through the barrier with.

Well, the quickest anyone ever found caves is at level 8 or so. Also, look at this chart.

Early caves (level 8-12): Cacodemon filled deathtrap.
Caves (13-15): Caco/Arach filled deathtrap.
Hell's caves (15-19): Arach filled super deathtrap of doom.

Yeah, because of the sheer ammount of enemies and the small space they take up, you need your rocket launcher.

Nah i found very early caves too. The highest are filled with lost souls, then pinkies, then you get to the Cacodemon caves.

I'm pretty sure that the toughness of monsters spawned is determined by how deep you are, Not by the type of level you are on.

Guess it would be possible to see level two - Hellish city filled with FH's.

Just very very improbable
