The difficulty of Angel of Death is really incredibly difficult.

[Wolfbastard]

How do you cope with this difficulty? Is there anyone who was able to complete or completed more than 2 missions on this difficulty?
I've been playing for 1.5 days straight and I've only been able to complete the prologue and one full mission, and now I'm stuck on the second mission.
Give me tips and tricks on how to complete the campaign on this difficulty level.

Are you playing with humans or bots?

Because if you're playing with bots, there's no reason to play on AOD difficulty.

I play with bots. Is it better to lower the difficulty? Are there any achievements on this difficulty if you know? I'm not sure that my friends will buy the game at all and I don't really want to play with strangers.

For the challenge? No?

Yes it's difficult but thats what the hardest difficulty is supposed to be. Right?

Im on the 4th or 5th mission I believe? I just finished the elevator mission that everyone is talking about atm on AoD. Id say for the most part its doable except a few times where things get crazy. You just need to keep practicing and going at it.

One tip I can give you is reload is you friend. Sometimes it's better to just reload after using like all your healing items, revive, etc than try and keep going. Another one is theres very often explosives laying around that are hard to see, use them. Especially in the later missions, theres a good bunch of them so dont ignore them.

If it's too difficult man, dont bother with it. Better you enjoying the game than hating the game because of the difficulty.

Personally I like it for 2 reasons: I like the chaos that it creates and I paid 100$ for this, I wanna get my moneys worth xD.

Yes, just for fun. I didn't even think that everyone was talking about the elevator mission)) It turns out that I'm not the only one stuck here)

[Wolfbastard]

I think I'll lower the difficulty. For me, this difficulty was impossible, at least on the elevator.

Hey man, ima do a shameless plug but if it can help you:

Restart the mission, get the machinegun, get 2 heals + revive, use grenade to clear off small mobs, focus on killing to big mobs fast.
NGL though the next part of the mission is also as hard as this one. But no bugs though.

Thank you

AoD is simply ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. You get spammed with ranged mobs, you need to waste a full clip to kill each one of them, there is barely any ammo, and good luck trying to melee them.
All the while bots are like huh?
Thank God that 3 lore accurate Space Marines was enough.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ artificial difficulty once again. "Hey hey guys, look at our difficulty modes, mobs just take forever to kill and one shot you! Didnt you like difficult games like Dark Souls?"

i played the first 3 missions on AOD and then realized there was no achievement so dropped it to veteran

[jetshadow13]

I completed the entire campaign on AoD solo, and it was essentially playing Dark Souls. Nids were way overtuned compared to you, and wasn't a good portrayal of space marine strength. If you want a good time, normal or veteran difficulty is where it's at. That makes you feel like a true space marine.

[AS9ARDIAN]

AoD is no walk in the park for sure, but still doable if you like a challenge tbh.

ironically i had zero issues with the elevator part, i'm stuck on the wave defense reactor part after the carnifax boss, the AI is really dumb and absolutely useless in this part. pretty frustrating when it's not even a skill check at that point,

[karasielvenlied]

Angel of Death is actually easy.
Especially after you farmed Ruthless in Operations for some time.
Ruthless feels harder than Angel of Death for sure.

really not that bad once you have your parry timing down to a science.
Also don't heal yourself with medpack until you have a mortal wound or you would have wasted a pickup anyway. Healing to full health with a medpack will remove the mortal wound, so it's better to get revived by AI then heal twice, giving you essentially the amount healed with two medpacks + a full bar of HP.
AI friendlies are better than people actually since they are incredibly tanky and revive you very reliably.
Krak grenades are your friend to quickly get rid of zoanthropes, aka. the most dangerous enemy type of the Tyranid faction.

Overall it just takes practice. My first campaign run was in Veteran and I found it pretty difficult. Once I spent 100 hours in coop I tried the campaign in the hardest difficulty and found it to be pretty managable. There will be a point once you get good enough, when you see a group of 5+ majoris + horde of gaunts and you're like "that's nothing, let's get in, parry everything and kill everything and come out unscathed" you'd be good with everything the game throws at you. The true threats are zoathropes and ranged enemies overall.

any tips for solo aod when on last mission im doing it solo because i wanna get gud and made it to the last mission but every time i rerun the boss fight it just feels impossible with no stim and 2 ai's that stand around kicking daisys
