You can still kill Working Joes by zapping them with the stun baton and whacking them with the wrench, but don't bother trying to shoot them with the revolver - it takes like 10+ bullets, even if they're all headshots. Until you get the stun baton you'll need to avoid/distract them. Do not waste stun baton charges on Joes that can be avoided. Stun baton charges are rare on nightmare mode, so save them for the Joes that are very difficult to avoid, like the one that comes out of his pod when you're activating the emergency medical evac procedure, or the one walking around when you get the torch and need to cut through the vent (just after you meet Waits and Ricardo). You may also want to master the art of shooting them in the head to stun them for one second, then running past them. Though I could never get this to work reliably, so your mileage may vary on that.
The alien will be able to see you very well on nightmare mode, and you won't have an endless supply of noisemakers/flares and other distractions, so you'll need to keep it out of line-of-sight. You'll need to keep moving as it'll be on you at all times, so moving forward is the only way to "get ahead" of it and make it go up into the vents for a short period of time. There's actually very little difference between the alien behaviour on hard and nightmare. The only real difference is the alien goes up in the vents even less on nightmare than it does on hard.
Human enemies can be a problem as they kill you in 1-2 shots (depending on whether your health bar is full or not) but they're the easiest to deal with - just let the alien kill them or shoot them in the head if the alien isn't around.
Speaking of health, you can't see your health bar on nightmare so you'll have to keep a mental note of where you THINK your health is at. Don't hide in lockers on nightmare mode - holding your breath will kill you very quickly.
Last but not least - be very conservative with your flamethrower when you get it. On nightmare that flamethrower drinks fuel faster than my great uncle Joe used to drink Carlsberg Special Brew before his liver exploded.
You should be fine by quickly grabbing whatever you can find, as you hurry along towards each objective. Containers are usually empty, so just focus on grabbing loose items as you happen across them.
It's not a fighting game, so don't expect to be killing everything.
And how many deaths should one expect per level?
Well, a first time playthrough on medium might take 15-30 hours, depending on how much optional exploring/backtracking you do.
If you play for a second time on nightmare and you know how to deal with the alien and the Working Joes now and you know where to go and stuff then probably 10-20 hours, again depending on how much exploring/backtracking you do.
Deaths... it really depends on how good at avoiding the alien you got on your previous playthrough. I did nightmare on my third playthrough (first on medium, second on hard) and only died twice - once when I accidentally committed suicide by throwing a pipe bomb at my feet because I thought it was a noisemaker, and once in the vent at the end which has 5 facehuggers in it. One of the facehuggers got bugged and stuck in a wall. I wouldn't hit it with the flamethrower and it was stuck so I just left it and continue, then when my back was turned it unstuck itself and jumped me from behind.
Fastest you could do is just under three hours. So if you’re knowledgeable and not lingering too much, maybe you’ll clock in at 4-5 hours.
I’d expect a knowledgeable person to have under five deaths over the course of the entire game, with it being fairly good odds at zero deaths.
Gonna give it a few more tries in the next days and uninstall it and be done with it.
ITS ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ IMPOSSIBLE TO ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ MANEUVER AROUND HIM HE DETECTS YOU IN EVERY ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ HIDING SPOT !!!
♥♥♥♥ this waste of time difficulty mode.
You're just playing wrong. I've completed it on nightmare 3 times and I'm not an expert. Watch some Youtube videos to see how others play on nightmare and copy their behaviour.
I guess that you didn't read the advice provided to you in your other thread, about how you can't get to Morley's keycard.
My patience is running thin, Hard was not retarted like this, this is impossible almost.
I'm not saying to watch a whole playthrough, just watch a couple of videos of people doing that mission on nightmare and watch how they adjust their playstyle for nightmare mode. It'll give you some idea of how you need to play on nightmare. It's not like playing on hard because on nightmare the alien basically never goes in the vents and is constantly close to you - the only way to make the alien chill out and go into the vents is to move fast - get out of its range and it will go up.
...it'll probably come straight back down again right near you, but sometimes it stays up for 10-20 seconds and gives you time to move.
