: I take it you didn't play this on TC, did you? This map is challenging on
: normal, but nearly impossible on TC. The second half, that is. You did
: raise an interesting point - the hulks will fight you if there are no
: Pfhor around, so you do need to stay clear of them. For the first half of
: the level, you really don't have to fight more than a handful of troopers
: - tops. If you get cornered, simply back out and let the Pfhor and hulks
: have at it, then proceed when the way is clear. Avoidance is the key to
: survival. Even on TC I can complete the first half in only a few minutes.
: One thing that's curious, I can understand why the hulks would fight the
: player, even though you seem to be fighting the Pfhor - they've never seen
: one of your kind before. The Pfhor on the other hand will fight you in
: preference to the hulks - at least it seems that way. Why do they consider
: you a graver threat than the rebellious hulks?
That is strange, now that you mention it, it doesn't make very much sense at all. and nope, I'm always on normal.
: The only possibly successful strategy I've found is to head to the canyon's
: culdesac and wait a while until one jugger finds me. At this point I can
: run back to the beginning of the outdoor area and hope that the other
: monsters fight the juggers. Eventually I'll be discovered again and have
: to repeat the process. This costs a lot in shield strength, but it
: scatters the juggers enough that it eventually becomes possible to get
: past that bottleneck. If I manage to survive to this point, I generally
: die fighting the rest of the baddies as I leap from ledge to ledge, trying
: to reach the end teleporter. I can do it if I give myself more NRG, and
: even then after multiple attempts.
A fun way I found to avoid the narrow walkways is to use the orb to fly randomly around untill you get to someting you can stand on. not very preceise, but a lot of fun!
