-
- 1. Tips:
- =======
- 1) Discretion is the better part of valour:
- There's often so many monsters that your best strategy is to run through the
- crowded rooms hole up somewhere and wait for them to fight it out between
- themselves.
-
- 2) A stitch in time saves nine:
- Save after every major contact unless your in poor shape - in which case revert
- to a previous game.
-
- 3) Play fair:
- To get more life out of the game remember that theoretically you can play
- through every level starting with the humble pistol no armour and 100% health.
- In theory....
-
- 4) The offside trap:
- One excellent strategy for dealing with full rooms is to open the door pop your
- head in then pull back out letting the door close. Often the beasts will emerge
- one at a time enabling you to pick them off.
-
- 5) Do you really need that?:
- When their health is around the 85% mark many players prefer to save first aid
- kits for later. Also when in a radioactive ooze. Avoid collecting a suit until
- you start flashing. This will maximise your survival time.
-
- 6) Boom!!!:
- Never switch to missiles in an enclosed area. They'll do you as much damage as
- your enemy.
-
- 7) Walls have ears:
- Using weaponry makes noise and noise brings beasts running. So avoid
- gratuitously firing rounds. You'll also want to conserve ammo especially on the
- Nightmare setting.
-
- 8) You have ears:
- Counting the number of shouts or groans when blundering into a gang of beasts
- will help you to guess their numbers. Listen for hydraulic noises: an
- unexpected whoosh means you have activated a hidden switch and opened a door or
- summoned a lift.
-
- 9) Tele-Frags:
- On the two-player game if an opponent makes a break for the teleport follow him.
- Hopefully you'll materialise over him and score a frag.
-
- 10) Caught in a trap:
- When you find a key or megasphere in an empty room it may be an ambush. If
- possible collect it running back towards the door. Exit before the trap is
- sprung.
-
- How to kill the enemies:
- -----------------------
- Knight of Hell:
- These junior barons should be one of your lowest priorities until they get right
- up close to you. Then simply wipe them off the face of the planet with a plasma
- gun.
-
- Pain Elemental:
- Chain gun these critters dead centre in the face. Hit them the moment they
- appear and keep firing as they explode because they burst into these rather
- ugly heads.
-
- Mancubus:
- The trick here is to stay far enough away to slip between their double missiles.
- A rapid fire weapon will hit them quickly enough to prevent any return of fire.
-
- Arachnotrons:
- Hide. Then pop up and return fire with a rapid fire weapon. At close quarters
- if you have plenty to hide behind use the double barrel. Three shots should do
- the trick.
-
- Heavy Weapons Dude:
- Always a thorny problem these guys will be felled with just one shotgun blast.
- But you'll have to work particularly fast because they'll be firing at you
- constantly.
-
- Revenants:
- Keep well away from these. Best lured into corridors: out in the open the
- missiles can chase you round corners. Use the super shotgun.
-
- Archvile:
- The Archvile is most vunerable when he's resurrecting a corpse. You may only get
- one chance at him so now's the time to pull out the BFG.
-
- 2. Cheats:
- =========
- Use like the cheats from Doom:
- iddt - Type this on the map screen several times to reveal all the objects and
- the full map. It will soon erase itself.
- iddqd - Degreeless mode toggle. Turns you into a god who cannot be hurt by
- anything.
- idfa - Full ammo & 200% armour
- idkfa - Full ammo & 200% armour plus all keys
- idclip - No clipping. Able to walk through walls and experience hallucinations
- outside the playing area.
- idmypos - Prints your co-ordinates in hex - very useful!!???!!!
- idchoppers - Prints a 'Doesn't Suck' message then provides you with the chainsaw
- idclevXX - Warps you to level XX. XX=Value between 00 and 32
- idbehold - enables a cheat mode: follow with one of the following letters:
- r Radiation suit
- i Invisibility
- v Invincibility
- a Computer map
- l Turn up the lights
- s Beserker mode
-
- 3. How to defeat the last boss:
- ==============================
- Hit the skull switch straight away and stay on the top level until the Icon has
- stopped spitting monsters into the room. Clear the room level by level. Enter
- the lava and push the tower to lower the lift. Get on it and fire your rockets
- into the exposed brain just before the lift reaches its highest point. Three
- shots should do it.
