	Message: : Shareware Quake Guide : Quake Enemies : Note: I could only gather the creatures I encountered from the shareware : version of Quake, so not all of the creatures will be referenced. Sorry! : And these are the creatures that are in Medium difficulty. I think I : missed one or two different monster species. : Rottweiler: Rottweilers are, of course, dogs, and while only encountered once : in the shareware version, we are given hints that they often accompany : Grunts, and maybe other units. They aren't very tough, but their bite does : decent damage and they run rather quickly. When far away you usually have : an advantage, but don't let them get too close, don't let them rush you, : for they may be deadly. But you shouldn't have any real problems. Just a : shotgun shell or two and you'll be good to go. : Grunt: Grunts are the most common enemy you'll face, the standard units of : Quake's forces. They are slightly tougher than Rottweilers, given a quick, : light plating of armor, since they are express recruits for military : service and are often used as security guards. Grunts carry around : shotguns and have good skill with them and also since shotgun shells move : fast they can be hard to dodge, all this despite Grunts being quite easy : to kill. They have good speed, too. Plus they are also the most common : enemy pretty much, so they can come in groups and be a total pain, all : those shotgun shells, and they can surround you. Still though, you : wouldn't want to worry about them too much, since they are easily killed. : Ogre: Ogres, while not so likely to hit you and rather slow, plus quite : limited in intelligence, are tough and in some cases, deadly. Ogres carry : grenades and a chain-saw with them, and often you can see spots of blood : on them and their weapons. But don't let that fool you, with enough skill : you can even be less likely to be inflicted damage upon by an Ogre. Try : not to get close or they will dish out a lot of damage on you with their : chain-saw. Also try not to get hit or injured by any of an Ogre's : grenades. If you dodge a lot and pump what you must into an Ogre, it'll be : a newly opened worm buffet in no time. : Knight: Knights are simply strange things in armored suits, perhaps some of : Quake's minions, that wield swords. They are very deadly with their swords : and can take some good punishment before dying. You definitely don't want : to get close to them or they'll slash you up with their sword. Knights are : also very fast-moving, so you're going to have to run and dodge a lot when : in vicinity of them. However, despite being fast, you can still take great : advantage of the fact that Knights have no projectile attack, which can : result in great success. : Fiend: Fiends are very strange looking creatures. They have blood splotted in : their face and at the ends of their long, claws on each arm. They are : fast, pretty tough, and when they get close to you, they slash at you with : their claws and can be very deadly. Practice caution when in vicinity of : these creatures. : Zombie: Zombies aren't all that dangerous, they are slow, stupid and aren't : really dangerous... Usually. But! If you kill them, unless you killed them : with an explosive weapon, they will stay on the ground for a couple : seconds before eventually getting back up again, so you're going to want : to kill them permanently using a grenade or rocket launcher, which will : blow them up. They throw strangely infected pieces of flesh at you that do : decent damage. : Scrag: Scrags are flying, manta-like creatures that float around and spit : acid projectiles at you that do a good deal of damage and move pretty : quickly. Just be careful, pump em' full of shells or nails or whatever : sort of ammo in your weapon, and eventually you'll be just fine. : Quake Weapons : Note: These are only the weapons that you can get in the shareware version. I : haven't managed to find out what other weapons there are in the full : version yet. Sorry! : Axe: The Axe is a small-handle, small-blade weapon that you start out with : aside from the shotgun, and is the only weapon that'll always be there, no : matter what. Your axe is like in other games the beta weapon of the : arsenal, a.k.a. dispersion pistol from Unreal, gauntlets from Quake III, : etc. not an actual combat weapon, but it is at least unlimited in ammo. : The axe is a weapon that should be used for finding secrets, destroying : inanimate objects that need to be destroyed, and maybe dealing with some : melee combat impaired enemies if you know what you're doing. Since it is : melee it never becomes depleted. Nethertheless, if you only have this : basically inferior substitute for a gun, run. : Shotgun: This is the other weapon you start out with. It has a decent rate of : fire, good accuracy, and some good stopping power. A standard-issue rifle : carried by many troops and guards, the shotgun is the firearm that grunts : carry around. When used with experience and skill, the shotgun can remain : a pretty useful weapon throughout the game. Good gun. : Double-Barreled Shotgun: The Double-Barreled Shotgun was a remake of the : original shotgun. It is not as accurate and has a slower rate of fire than : the original shotgun, but makes up for this by packing more substantial : firepower. Know when to use the original shotgun or the d-b shotgun, : because in the end, they're all trade-offs. Good gun. : Nail Gun: The Nail Gun may be possibly what it sounds like: a gun that fires : nails. Perhaps it was the more advanced nails of the time that made nails' : promotion to gun ammunition possible. The Nail Gun is sort of a machine : gun, except for it uses spikes/nails rather than bullets. Fast and : accurate, the Nail Gun, while considerably ammo-guzzling, can be very : useful often depending on one's marksmanship. There are two barrels, one : on the right and one on the left, which both fire the nails. Good gun. : Super Nail Gun: The Super Nail Gun is somewhat more powerful than the : original Nail Gun, but instead of having two barrels, the SNG only shoots : from one in the center. Use this when necessary, but still, sometimes it's : more necessary to switch to the original. Good gun. : Grenade Launcher: The Grenade Launcher, while short-ranged and with a lack of : firing rate delivers plenty of damage to the target/s when used properly. : It is simple: the Grenade Launcher launches short-ranged yet powerful : grenades. They will explode on impact when they hit an enemy, but if they : hit a surface, then they will bounce off of different surfaces for a bit : before standing still on a surface and then exploding. Good gun.
