Any help for 'We Know Nothing'?

[Killjoy]

Been trying a few different strategies but nothing seems to be able to stand up to the wave coming in. Trying to rush the AC doesn't seem to do anything at all. Am I not getting enough Bluite to power it quickly enough?

you need to get the totem up asap. it's shield is very good. also set up a line of cannons next to the totem shield. that should keep you safe. and don't neglect geting your energy economy going

Stuck on this too, I thought the green crystal that was given was meant to unlock a new weapon or something but I can't seem to find a use for it before the tidal wave hits me.

[harrymcb]

the totem shield is activated by liftic. that you get by refining the green crystals in the factory.

So rush the green refiner and then get pylons to the totem?

[DeeCee]

ahh i got it, I mistook the totem for the pyramid, just need to activate both things, and with a couple of cannons within the shielded area it should be good to go. Thanks for the help!

[harrymcb]

that is part of the strategy. but don't neglect weapons

Oh, thanks, I mistook this for a warp totem.

[harrymcb]

same thing. but they make shields when activated

Do you have a build order? Ive started with creating a miner, rushing to the refinery, then building the factory and getting pylons to the totem. The fastest I've managed is I had the totem almost fully charged when the wave got to it.

[harrymcb]

i don't have a specific build order. if you joined the discord i could show a recording of my run

You can just cheese it. The creeper travels to the left in that mission, so if you wait long enough the rightmost section becomes safe.

I actually have a save here but I'd prefer not to go down this route

[harrymcb]

that is not actually a good strategy. it sounds like a huge pain. if it is even possible

[DeeCee]

I managed it by getting the shield up to stall the creep but placed a ton of cannons at the bottom to protect the towers as the nullifier does the job. Might wanna place just one or two cannons behind your wall to stop the creep from coming around the pyramid thing to destroy your towers before the nullifier can finish.

Takes about a minute on 4x speed. I legitimately thought it was the intended solution since surviving on the left seemed so untenable. I figured it was meant to teach you that you can relocate if circumstances change.
