Terror Cruise Ship: Can't find last Tasoth!
I am on the 1st part of a Terror Cruise ship mission. after about 38 grueling turns, i managed to slay all but one Tasoth, whose existance was only indicated by the "tasoth something or other has gone bezerk".I cannot find the freaking thing. One thing that the camera does is point to a very specific chunk of the terrain with no units on it every turn.

Although, I have found the sucker during an alternate save turn that went far too deadly to continue with. Anyone have any ideas what's going on?

Also, i have about 2 or so aquanauts that are unconscious due to a freeze bomb going off too close to them, will they die or go MIA if the rest of the team moves on after all alien activity is ceased?

Sleepy soldiers will wake up eventually; as long as they aren't wounded (so they bleed out) they will recover. Medikits can speed things up with stimulants. Will they carry over to the next level? No - perhaps, if your other troops carry them - but I *think* they will survive the mission as a whole if you make it through the second part.

As for the Tasoth - check the kitchens. There's a bizarre glitch in that map where the kitchen store room sometimes has a black "void" behind the door and you can't get in. An alien could easily be trapped in that void. Your best bet - chuck a sonic pulser at the door and blow your way in past that void.

Thank you! ill give blasting those portions of the kitchens a try!

Also, I am finding tasoths just appearing behind aquanauts, thankfully, they already appear either heavily wounded (going down in one or two hits) or weaponless since i scavenged all of their ammo off of their likely unconscious bodies.

Probably the biggest problem at the moment is the game keeps crashing, spouting some sort of overflow error, and I would need to restart after those. Is it because of all of the bio drone fires, leveled smoky portions of the cruise ship? scattered items and such? Either way, i have never seen the game crash like that.

I don't know about the game crashing, I'm afraid. Too much smoke/fire is possible. There may also simply be too many items on the level - did you max out your 80-item load?

Tasoths appearing behind you wounded and unarmed makes me think they were ones you previously took out - but stunned rather than dead. They just woke up again.
