ROTT: El Oscuro

[Guest]

You saw the topic: El Oscuro

Question: How the heck do you beat him?!

I've hit him with every round from every heavy firearm in that part of the level, thinking that I was doing some good even though it seems as though he absorbs it and shoots it back. I've shot at him with the MP30 for an eternity, and I've even let him get real close to me and I fill him full of lead and hit the space bar (activate). I dunno what else to do. Maybe I should just dodge his projectiles for awhile? I even turned on the Woundless with Weapons cheat code and hit him about 30 times with the God hand - He didn't even blink!

How do I beat the guy?

or you can just not shoot at him http://3drealms.3dportal.com/ubb/images/icons/smile.gif

In the first level you face him, you meet him in a big canyon, and there are guns everywhere. Every time you shoot him, he shoots back at you in kind: flamewall him, he floorsparks you; heatseek him, he shoots a heatseeking sphere at you; and so on. The trick is: don't attack him! He blows all his energy and reverts to his natural state, sort of a snake made up of huge heads. This snake runs away, and you have to run after it. You chase him through a canyon through a bunch of his guardians, then meet him in his lair.

To defeat him in his lair, you must destroy all his larvae, and then him. To find the larvae you must find the secret larvae chambers. A couple are just pushwalls. The last is a rocket jump with the firebomb (or alternately, fall through the Mercury Mode as you enter his lair and fly over the guarding wall), which gets you to a pushwall which leads to a huge chamber of the larvae. If you don't destroy them all, you'll have to try again, because the larvae will hatch and take over the planet. The larvae killed, you face El Oscuro in the Snake of Heads form. He can only be damaged as he travels over the firepits in the middle of the lair. And when you kill him, he rises into the air and explodes and explodes. If you beat the game, you really feel like you've done something. It is a bastard."

(Oh, I forgot. People say it's easier to kill him if he's over the little lava pits.)

But really, can you kill Tom Hall? Nah, just El Oscuro.

Thanks, Scotty, for the tip on hitting the search button. I did so, and it confirmed my suspicions. After one hour of shooting at El Oscuro I started to wonder if I should stop shooting, so when I saw a previous thread where Joe said "Don't shoot," I said ok.

I then proceeded to make it to the very last level and whip Oscuro's ass in five minutes. It was so obvious and easy on how to beat him in the last level that it was almost funny!

Thanks, everyone, for your advice. http://3drealms.3dportal.com/ubb/images/icons/grin.gif

PS. Hey Joe, I noticed that one of the monks looked like Lee Jackson, so I thought it was hilarious when I saw on the credits that the enemies were modeled after 3DR/Apogee employees! I almost wet myself when I saw that you played Sebastion Krist! ;D
