Pre-0.9.9 / Re: [H|84%|7] Hell Knights

Secondly, you should *always* carry at least one extra suit of armor, simply because if you don't you'll have no way of replacing those that get broken (and from the screen yours did get broken, though it's not clear if that was the shot before the one that killed you or directly on the killing shot such that it did subtract 2 points instead of only 1 point of damage).

I did carry a backup suit, but another Hell Knight previously met on this very same level took care of it.

Thirdly, you didn't actually take three levels of Ironman; your second level is Tough as Nails. ;)

...which is still about taking less damage and not about doing more. :)

About the Hell Knights, have you tried fighting them in melee?

When Sandy spotted it it was rather far and splash damage pushed the characted further back on the wall.

EDIT: But yes, I should have retreated ASAP as I saw that darn thing.

 Before him 9 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 9 of those were killed.

I'm not sure I understand how I'm supposed to survive hell knights. Fully loaded chaingun and double shotgun, all of the health packs used, all of the health pickups used, all of the health traits used and yet no success.

Ok, maybe going Hard on the first day of play isn't ultra smart, but this was the best run of the day (other than a boring easy lvl 10, died to --guess what-- a Hell Knight.)
