	Message: : Playing through OK, Who Else Wants some several hundred times makes me feel a : bit like a section-hiker on the Appalachian trail; I've completed : everything in stages--just haven't strung the whole thing together yet. : 31 damage in OK, Who Else Wants some (damage in rooms 6 and 7, both of which : I've gotten through using the same method on other runs) using three Red : and three Pale Violet potions. : : There are 18 of every monster except Ghasts (9) and Phantasms/Greater : Nightmares (12), so far as I can tell: Spoilers: dodge left, step forward : and right in an arc curling around behind the Demon to clear out the front : left, back left, back right, and stragglers behind me was my mainstay. : Frag grenades first, then AK for mop-up. Careful reloading is key, as is : equipping the right crystals beforehand. : Starting kit: One SABOT clip above HE, blue Crystal equipped for the : teleporter maze Greater Nightmares. : 1,2: You can get through the Headless and Zombies with no crystals and four : frag grenades each. Equip the Violet after round 2. : 3: Phantasms: Left-right-behind-the-Demon can get all 12 in 3 Violet Crystal : strikes; there may be a straggler but 2 Blue Crystals saves the Violet : here. : 4,5: The Ghouls can be defeated with one frag grenade and one Green Crystal : from a suitably central position (since it attacks at all 512 : "degrees" of the circle). For the Nightmares a Violet Crystal : attack to wipe out the back left and give freedom of movement. These rooms : are probably doable without crystals, but I've saved them for so long... : 6: The Oozes are either really tough or really easy depending on where they : are in firing pattern when you teleport in. Manual reloading camping helps : a bit, as does the Green Crystal; if you can run down the left side : without getting hung up on reloading you can do it. One ooze hit in the : 31-dmg run, but I've perfected the room before. Equip the Infra-Red : goggles here. : 7: My first potion! Red, a grenade to clear the left side, and you're off and : running. They melt under HE rounds but you have to be careful--even hasted : they'll get behind you as you make your way towards the back of the room. : 8: My second potion! Pale violet for the Spheres; you need quick fingers to : pause (AS you teleport in) or else the first one will tag you for four : anyway). I've done it without manually reloading the grenades, but they : can ablate a Pale Violet so fast that it's often not worth it. Scan : left-right (or right-left) manually reloading frag grenades and the whole : thing might be doable with 15-20 damage without a potion. : 9: Skitters! Move fast shoot fast. This may also be doable without a potion, : but a Bubbling Red (and a lucky bounce on the firing sequence when you : teleport in) makes a lot of different. Frag grenade and green crystal to : open up one side, and they melt away under HE rounds. : 10: Ghasts! Can be beaten without a potion, but you have to be a speedy : pauser: look left slightly fire grenade manual reload (2x) look right and : the same (2x) takes care of them before the ones on the right can get a : shot off. I'm 2-for-2 once I stopped taking potions. : 11: Venemous Skitters! The uber-Skitter room; I think I've beaten it with : only a RED (on the runthrough where I didn't use it for the Wraiths) but : if you have two purple and one red left at this stage it's best to use a : purple. Manual reloading, the Green Crystal once at the start and then the : Violet Crystal to clear paths, and lots of HE rounds can win the day. : Then move SABOT rounds above HE, equip the black crystal, and pause as you : enter: 12: Greater Nightmares! I took both a Pale Violet and a Bubbling : Red here, cleared out the left-hand side with the Crystal, and the : right-hand side with SABOT rounds. This might be doable without a red, but : the Pale Violet is only good for about six shots so you'd better kill fast : (and they're harder to dodge unhasted). Somehow I still have a Black : Crystal charge left (although it may shatter the next time). : Careful scooching forward and switching to inventory means it is possible to : pick up the Gemstone while taking no damage, even hasted, and then caution : on I'd Rather Be Surfing for spawned Ghasts and Skitters, and you can : sidle on over to the save rune on Lasciate. It's off to get the Nuclear : Device and eat the egg and do this all again without potions! : I'm sure _that_ will be fun.
