Not having any trouble surviving but every. Damn. Time. The enemies all clear out when I have defeated exactly 22% (need 25%). Frustrating!

You welcome, it increase your damage output in the sense that you surely score more hits that way, since you don't need to compensate for the target lateral moveement as it heads straight to you. Another tip to extend damage output is to keep your lasers recharged on the second stage (bright red indication on the laser recharge bars).

Oh really? I felt like it made them die quicker. Definetly writing your tips down for future nightmare missions haha. Thanks again.

Glad you made it! Note that head-on attacks do not have more damage. However, front-firing your lasers (instead of letting the turret auto-fire on the selected target), does.

Oh my god I did not know that when pressing R it would focus on the most nearby enemy ship. I also didn't know that you give more damage when attacking head-on like you said. After another 2 hours of playing those two things made me able to finish this damn nightmare of a mission. Thank you!!

Focus on taking out the first fighters before engaging the Enkidu ship. You should be able to take most of them out in a head-on approach, manually firing your laser in front-fire configuration for maximum damage output. Match your speed, shield and laser energy management with the one I show in the video.

Oh my god... I have been stuck on this level for like... 2.5 hours now and I am going insane. First I beat the first 4 fighters and then the other 6 come with the enkidu guy. I tried killing the 6 but even if I get close to one of them they all start targeting me making me die within 8 seconds. So I decided to try to ignore them and to just go to the enkidu guy. After trying 50 times I finally killed him but 3 seconds later I got killed by all of the 6 targeting me again. This is literally impossible and I have no idea what I am doing wrong. Could you maybe give me some advice or something? Thanks for reading!
