how to return to fortress of doom?

[snuggleform]

I can see how to select past missions but how do I go directly to the fortress of doom? (i.e. I want to spend sentinel batteries and test equipment in the demon jail)

You can only return at specific points in the campaign.

I see. What happens when you replay/finish an old mission? Does it just bring you back to the select screen or what?

If you can return to the fortress of doom, you press esc and select "return to campaign." You can do this while in the middle of old missions, or, if you're hunting for collectables and find all the ones you need when replaying a mission, you can use it after you collect what you need instead of finishing the mission and have your progress saved.

That sounds like super useful information.

May I ask what do you mean by "if you can return to the fortress of doom" are there situatoins which prevent you from doing so? Aka if you're in the middle of a new mission and you decide to go to an old mission, does return to campaign bring you to the fortress or back to the middle of the new map?

When you replay an old mission, it's independent from where you are when you say "continue campaign". So your ability to return to the latest part of the campaign never goes away, and your save remains there.

That's why the only time you can be at the fortress of doom is when you're at the fortress of doom. You can't warp to it.

It kind of sucks that you sometimes have to go through what feels like multiple levels at times before you can return to the Fortress of Doom. But whatever, not a big deal really...

I'm assuming it's intentional. I hope so.
