In Response To: New(?) Trick on Two Betrayals (Rum'gor) : (I took a quick look through the Tips and Tricks section and I didn’t see : this one, so maybe it’s new. If not, sorry for the redundancy.) : I discovered this by mistake this morning while playing Two Betrayals on : Legendary. Just to verify that difficulty level doesn’t matter, I also : successfully did this on Easy mode. : Start the level normally, kill the sentinels, and then clean out the first : big room. The trick hinges on how you open the door to the outside (the : third switch you have to press in the level). Unlike the other switches, : for some reason this switch can be pressed multiple times. If you hit the : switch twice in rapid succession, you’ll hear the ka-chunk of the switch : activating twice and the door will remain closed. : Here’s the crucial bit: you have to hit the switch to open the door, then hit : it again at the right time so that the door opens, but the game thinks : that it is still closed (that’s my interpretation anyway). The right : timing for the second click seems to be right after the lights on the : switch stop animating. Make sure you’ve hit the switch an EVEN number of : times. Now you’ll have to kill a few baddies right outside the door, but : fewer than normal (I think that the grunts don’t appear when you do this). : From this point on, the level is completely devoid of enemies. You can walk : down the pyramid, and hop in a Banshee, fly to the first power generator : (the room is empty and the power seems to be off). I don’t see any way to : continue through the level at this point since the door you need to go : through on the land bridge is locked. You can, however, walk back to the : “magic switch” and hit it another time and all the enemies will spawn and : you can play through the level normally. : It might take you a few tries, but it works. I've done it several times now, : so it wasn't just a one-time thing. Hopefully one of you kind souls can : replicate my results and back me up on this. : Fun fun fun. :) : I haven’t tried this in a co-op game yet, but maybe I’ll do that later on : when my cohorts get off work. I'll do my best to reproduce this. Sounds fun. :)
