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...

Generally speaking, BFG is a stronger weapon than the Unmaykr. Fire it across the room when overwhelmed and watch most demons die.

When I tried the BFG in during one of my runs it took both shots to finish off the Arch-vile. The Unmaykr doesn't use up all of the ammo.

I was trying out different strategies on lower difficulty and it turns out if the Arch-vile summons a Tyrant, Dread Knights will keep spawning until the Tyrant is destroyed even if the Arch-vile is already dead.

Ended up beating the encounter on lower difficulty, so no vid.

You need a direct hit with BFG to kill an Arch-Vile. He can also block it with a shield. Really, stunning or freezing him in some way and using Lock-On is probably the best overall method. BFG is the best for just firing it across an arena and letting tendrils kill every heavy demon and seriously hurt every superheavy, creating some breathing room.

Glad you managed to beat it!

A little disappointed I couldn't do it on HMP, because ITYTD was too easy. Might replay it again after I finish the campaign.

The game is pretty replayable!

Practice makes perfect. Don't hesitate to run through maps you've already completed until you find your rhythm for dealing with bigger threats.

I was reading the wiki and started laughing when I read that apparently Eternal's HMP is roughly equivalent to 2016's Nightmare. So now I don't feel as bad for not beating it. Though, as a matter of pride I want to beat it properly without using a crutch
