8 module door - south - NG+ (Update: Beaten)

[Anonymoose]

For some stupid reason, I decided to go for a 100% complete run while trying to beat the NG+ mode for the first time. So far I've done pretty well, I've killed all the bosses (accept for the last one ofcourse) and before I finish this I only need one thing...the railgun...

Which means I have complete the 8 module door in the south zone.

I'm not here to complain, I enjoy the challenge and know that dying is just part of the fun...sorta. But I need some help here people.

The dirk gunman are [pooping] on my parade and I keep finding myself stuck between a little barrier and two gunman and not enought stamina to sprint-shield out of this mess. Not to mention that they make the little dirk men sprint at 5000MPH, stun locking me so the gunman can get a free kill.

Can I get some advice? How do you complete this room with 2 HP? What's the most effective way to deal with gunmen quickly? Like three of them at the same time?

Take cover as soon as possible and stay there for as long as possible, lol. I don't remember the room layout so I don't know where to hide though, but if you can manage to take out the little guys quickly you can take your time with the gunmen, they have trouble getting around obstacles.

You said you're going for 100%, so does that mean you're going to do the arena fights too? Because those are pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ brutal already with 5 hp... with 2 I don't think it's humanly possible, lol. You'll have to deal with random waves of gunmen and dirks on top of the other enemies.

They don't call it the "masochist" run for nothing...besides, the railgun could make quick work of dirk gunmen if I can just get a couple of shots in and dodge away [real talk: i forgot those were a thing, but I guess its going to happen. Ill upload a video if i can do it.]

Also thanks for the advice, using the obstacle more and not running out is probably a smarter bet. The only issue is that there is one sequence where two gunmen spawn, and killing one may spawn another 2 [total of 3 gunmen], with enough dirks to become an issue.

Plus if I have to dash chain out of tight spot b/c the dirks flush me out of my cover, I have to sword-dash to get some damage on the dirks and stil lhave the stamina to dodge chain to a different location (and to aborb the bullets from gunmen). The move works once, but I cant find time to recharge much, so I just try to shoot and scoot, which leads to a balancing act of resources I cannot perfom while being gunned down and chased by ♥♥♥♥♥ up green men...with 2 hp. Its also hella hard to be perfect with dodge chains, as in not slamming into the barrier and watching helplessly as the gunmen punish you for your error (reasons i cry myself to sleep)

Just to clarify, im using the purple cloak that gives me double stamina, and the grey/blue sword (the one that slashes faster) b/c it helps with the dirks and dirk-gunmen.

Update (spoiler): I beat it. Honestly, its not that bad. Get close to those gunmen and score a shotgun hit before dodging away to saftey. Save grenades for when dirks spawn to swarm you with gunmen influence. Then you just have to deal with some slow giants and that it.
