Stuck on Ancient Gods 2: Reclaimed Earth

[DeleteStarcraft]

So I've been stuck on this level for a fair while. The enemies just keep coming and coming and when I make it to the part where demos are being constantly spawn I got a feeling there is something else that needs to be done...

Meant to find a gate I think, but I'm just stuck fighting these enemies. And sometimes the cursed demon seems almost unbeatable. Beats minutes just blasting and hitting him with various weapons...

Try firing a BFG ball across the arena, maybe there’s a stuck demon. Or reload a checkpoint.

The only way to kill a Cursed Prowler after it Cursed you is to Blood Punch it. You can Dash while Cursed, but Meathook still works. Better to kill those guys before they hit you, use Chaingun Shield to block their attacks and be on alert for their distinctive spawning sound and for their unique green color once they spawn. They have as much health as regular Prowlers, so one Ballista hit leaves them open for a Glory Kill and Meathook + SSG also works.

So I need help to get through this map. You clearly don't complete it by killing the enemies as they seem to be endless. At some point they just keep respawning once you've killed the initial enemies. So where is the gate I need to go to complete the stage? How do you access it? Is there a hidden passage somewhere?

Probably tried it closer to a hundred times (or so it feels at this stage).

[Sar]

This sounds like a bug.

[DeleteStarcraft]

It's the gate of Divum I believe. Anyone completed this bit? It's just never ending.

[Sar]

The big metal-looking arena? It’s pretty long, but it’s not endless. Demons tend to get stuck in the lower corridors sometimes. It works like every other arena in the game, you need to kill enemies for the doors to open.

[DeleteStarcraft]

Seems never ending. Is there a way to skip the level? Been stuck on it forever. Do the old cheat codes still work?

EDIT: Got there in the end. Now that I realised it was the last mission of the campaign it made sense for it to be extremely tedious and long. I just thought it was just a regular mission and I had missed a point.

in cases likes this I just open youtube and watch a playthrough of someone else and figure out what he does and I maybe dont.

Great advice!

[DeleteStarcraft]

Yeah I actually did the towards the end as I was curious of how others passed the predicament.

I'm stuck at the same place. Even when I interrupt the Arch-vile's summoning and kill it really quickly, there are still pinkies, dread knights, barons and a tyrant spawning afterwards, which doesn't happen in any of the playthroughs I've watched. Am I missing something?

Post a video if you can. Steam beta now supports recording gameplay.

I remember that encounter, it’s one of my favorites actually. There are a lot of enemies but the arena is very forgiving. Just remember, you can use portals and jump pads, but your enemies can’t! Abuse them to your advantage. If you’re fighting in a disadvantageous position, disingage.

[TheSleepingHorror]

That's generally how I fight. I always keep track of where the nearest portal and jump pad is. I choke at the end of this fight when I get swarmed by heavies and super heavies on all sides even after killing the Arch-vile. For now I'll try and see if I can kill him even faster, even though I thought I was already doing it pretty fast. And just to check, there's only one Arch-vile on HMP, right?

[Sar]

The enemy numbers aren’t changed between difficulties. Only their damage and aggression is. It would really help if you posted a video, but if you don’t want to it’s okay.

Arch-Vile is the one demon you really don’t want to leave alive. Ice Bomb + two Lock-On Bursts take care of him really well.

[TheSleepingHorror]

I'll try and record a clip when I play again later today.

I've been going Ice bomb + hammer + unmaykr. I'll try your method as well
