Stuck in Hell

[Major McGoog]

I am currently in the Hell portion of Doom 3 and am trying to kill the Guardian to move on to the next level. They say to kill the Seekers and the Guardian becomes vulnerable. I kill many of them, but the Guardian always keeps regenerating more of them so I am never able to kill them all. Any thoughts on how I might proceed are certainly encouraged. Thanks for your help on this.

On another matter, I am currently in the Marine difficulty mode. How can I change this to Recruit mode.

think if i remember correctly. After u killed all seeker, the very same time the Guardian regenerating more. You shoot at the Guardian while he doing so. He becomes INVULNERABLE when he succeeded regenerating the three seeker. Then u destroy them again and the Guardian while regenerating the seeker again, Shoot at the Guardian, He only becomes Vulnerable while he is regenerating the Seeker. Eventually you will Kill him. Rocket Launcher the way to go at him ;)

Usually on Level Select, You will see the option when u select ANy Level, on Which Difficulty u want to play at, Click that and U should see the other difficulties u can use

When he's regenerating more seekers, a weak spot should appear in the form of an orb above the Guardian. Shoot it with rockets. Then repeat. He should go down quite quickly.

EDIT: I don't think there's any way to change the difficulty without starting again. Not worth it, to be honest, best to stick with it, you're getting near the end.

Stuck in the same situation; once I kill the last seeker, he respawns all of them >instantly<
There does not seem to be any window of vulnerability; tried several times, at this point I am considering writing the game off...

use the bfg gun twice then hit the top[ ,blue light] with the rockets,need to hit this 8 times.good luck

I dont HAVE the BFG gun at this point; when I entered Hell, all my weaposn were removed, then replaced progressively, but the BFG gun was never replaced.

[Jon.pettet.]

ok keep hitting the seekers then the guardian will spawn more seekers,hit the blue light on top,keep this up until the job is done,some great maps after this so don`t give up,and keep hitting the save buttton?

[Jon.pettet.]

pick up the brg gun in hell?its on a ledge look out for it...

[76561198147871868]

I looked systematically everywhere before moving to a next blocked area in Hell, reloaded if it moved to a next area before I had finished exploring; on the way I checked all reachable ledges already (only 1 was not reachable), the BFG gun was never there.
If it is supposed to be in the boss map, I have not seen it either, nor do I see any ledge while running around and trying not to get hit.

As for what I said before, I came to suspect that this map is bugged for me, as from earlier posters there is supposed to be a respawn period while you can find the boss vulnerable, and this respawn period >DOES NOT EXIST< for me since the full respawns happens >INSTANTLY< the moment I kill the last seeker of a group.

Which I understand makes your solution inapplicable.

The BFG appears a while before the bossfight, on the edge of a cliff on a small sidepath, some hell knights spawn around it. Not too hard to find honestly. Anyway, are you sure his weak point doesn't appear? It's a large white sphere above him. Ignore the seekers that spawn when it's visible, just shoot it with your msot powerful weapons.

you try and help players and this what you get......................shall not bother again

[Uzi Master]

Well, the seekers do respawn instantly when they all die actually, which is why I asked if you're sure the weak spot doesn't appear. It's less a respwan period than a vulnerability period, but fair enough. Have you tried verifying the integrity of your game cache?
