Taras Nabad: Slayer Gate (Nightmare)

[Cystem]

Wtf?

The hardest slayer gate yet, I've reached the bunch of serpents part but after that it's just nuts. Can't seem to move anywhere without take serious damage.

Stay airborne a lot with the meathook, use the destroyer blade if upgraded yet, blood punch a lot, use the lock on. And always move. They can't hit you if you're on the move, especially if you are in the air. Good luck, practice makes the master. I used to find that thing difficult too,

I beg to differ, they seem to hit me more in the air haha

always stay high up near the portal use it to control the demons targeting on you by entering and re entering the portal to confuse them
don't stay in the lower section always high up use the monkey bars

learn to use destroyer blade it can eliminate multiple enemy's in one shot (make sure it is fully mastered tho so u can fire the blades when u want and not have to wait for the full 3 charges)

It's really useful to wait until the end to do the slayer gate, because you can pick up the crucible blades and use them take down the most problematic enemies.

I firmly believe the hardest one is in Mars Core. Marauder, Prowlers, Maykr Drones, all of these on an uncomfortable map layout, then lots of Hell Knights, then two Barons of Hell. That one is nuts.

Taras Nabad is just like Freeze + double lock on Archvile, kill 2 Pain Elementals, kill some Prowlers, BFG Whiplashes, kill Tyrant and 3 Mancubi and you are done.

Really? IMO the first one is the hardest. Everything else you have enough part of your kit that avoiding damage is just super easy

I have no rockets or shotgun ammo when I start the slayer gate. So with the archville I can freeze, double nade, then fire two rockets before I need to look for ammo. As someone suggested I can get the crucible first then try it maybe.

Why don't you have those things? I really don't understand. All fights end with a bunch of left over fodder to chainsaw.

My understanding is, when I was able to access this SG I had used those ammo types. So when I start the SG that's what ammo I have when I start. I chainsaw the upgraded Pain Elementals during the first instance but ammo does get scarce towards the Hell Baron instance.

I can progress further into Taras Nabad, get the crucible and get more ammo. Good idea no?

I would say that at least to me, if i had to rank the slayer gates, it would be: 2 > 5 > 1 > 3, 4, 6. Atleast on UN runs. That second slayer gate is a pain with your kit being as low as it is. The 1st one is only hard if you don't route chainsaw and don't have heatblast, and the 5th one... i mean - marauder + drone fire is annoying as hell... but it really is not as dangerous as people make it out to be imo.

I just did it by progressing a lil and getting ammo for the BFG.

Yeah 2nd is dangerous asf too, 3 Mancubi with no way of cheesing (like with axe trap at introduction battle) with undergeared kit, then Prowlers with Cacos, then 3 Arachnotrons... I usually go with 2 or 3 Chainsaws there, somehow get rid of the Mancubi without chainsawing anything (there are a lot of Shotgun shells laying around) then immediately chainsaw one Arachnotron... if I survive long enough to meet them in the first place. :D

Use the meathook the second it goes off cooldown. People seriously underestimate the power of air time in this game.
