am not exactly sure how to use the parachute to get down to level 2... maybe that locked door in the training cave?
(recycling old ss)
I apply my "master" lock picking skill (obtained in the training camp, as you recall, and voila!
That big ugly thing is an "enforcer", it goes down easy to my assault rifle.
The 3 Hell Corporals likewise don't put up too much of a fight.
Me in a pyramid of Phat L00t!!!
I find:
A Hoe!
"A shield with a golden pentastar inscribed on it's black hexagonal surface". I don't know what that is but it sounds cool!
A Throwing Axe!
A baseball bat!
and 2 crossbows.
Well, mostly junk + a demonic shield. No level 2, though.
It turns out that we are seemlesslyrailroaded.
You must get the Hell Badge to go to the Training Camp.
You must get the Tude's tape in Limbo to get the Parachute
You must be trained in Lockpick to get the Demonic Shield
You need the Demonic Shield to get into Lucifer's landing, where you can use the Parachute to get down to level 2
So all we have to do is wander aound until we find Lucifer's Landing: ss7
(it's in the south east corner)
interior:
Oh teh confusion! It's oriented E-W instead of N-S!
Straight "ahead" (East) is this fabulous vista...
The guards are no help, I assume the statue heals me, but I am all healed up.
I head south before crossing the bridge.
There's nothing there but a single bridge as opposed to the double one
North path is the same. I cross at the North bridge cause that's where I am.
Oh the suspense is killing me!
That brown stuff is impassible muck. Nice, Lucy, I love what you've done with the place.
The only way across is in the middle. Was there a sale on level designers in 1989? Was "Level Designer" even a job description???
I cross, and then...
It's like the game read my mind. That's actually quite cool.
but then nothing happens!
Wandering east a bit more...
The ground spells out "Satan Rules! and then 666 down the sides (no ss)
I was going to photshop it all up for you guys, but hey. I'm barely in it enough to actually play this game.
One "6" has some bad guys in it... but they seem unreachable.
(actually, these guys have ranged weapons and attack me later)
Heading north...
Satan is apparently full of hot air
a bit later...
Hmmm... this could be fun!
The Enforcers and Giant Demons can actually a 2 shots from an unholy mace, but still we prevail.
Some very mediocre loot, and some tough battles later...
But the advances of modern technology, I just hide the window while I am at work, and bang, fully healed. I do end up burning both my Assault rifles.
I run into Moriarty, who will tell me where Flika's flame is in exchange for a pistol.
I don't know what Flicka's Flame is, but the info is probably worth the pistol which is a pretty sub-par weapon. And I happened to have one.
Also, it's not totally clear but the coordinates above are in "World Map" space, not "Lucifer's Landing" space (which is pretty obvious when you realize you cannot really get there in the local map)
Oddly, the next room has Flicka in it...
ooh machine gun! That must be flicka's flame (wrong, BTW)
The desk nearby says:
I also find a care bracelet, which would mean a trip back to Juliet in City on the Edge of Eternity... not sure I have the stomach for that. (I do)
Random ss of this "goo maze" with lots of bad guys and chests
I guess this is what passes for a "Dungeon" in this primative RPG-like.
Oooh... here is a new one, Some Ghouls zapped me with "Mind Domination" and Hamlet fell Asleep!
The SMG is pretty awesome though. It does Unholy Mace like damage to everyone in a group.
The Ghouls were guarding a bunch of chests including a Mac 10 and a Hockey mask and an asbestos suit (both are just generic armor, I think ehhh..but cool)
One last random goo maze screen shot:
And I head out without doing the "south" part of the maze (mistake, it turns out)
I head back to Juliet and first find Flicka's flame. Can't do much with it, but here it is:
In case you can't remember, there are some Hell Privates guarding the space.
If I HAD some fairy dust (stupid crack) I would make a potion.
I battle muchos beastos de stench and get back to the first city
Not sure I have posted "archer" SS:
and some Neanderthals:
The city is aggro, presumably becuase of actions at lucifer's landing, but it's just Hell Privates. Not even worth wasting bullets on.
Here's Juliet.
I CARE and she gives me a hug and a (WTF) light kiss.
And Angelic Powers, so there's that.
(the last line is ... shown yourself worth! This power is transferable!"
It looks to me like a weapon I can equip. I test it on a hell guard, and it seems to work. Not sure of it's range or damage.
It seems to do OK damage (not quite unholy mace) but also short range.
A quick jaunt to limbo.. and see Aaron Burr (I had to look in walktthough to see why the hell I was carrying around a basket of forks... apparently they are lead forks.).
Oh, this is exciting, I make it back to the landing....
and it's been destroyed by Satan himself, according to the sign...
Well, dang. I think I missed out on some fat loot.
OUCH. The healing statue doesn't work either.
The destroyed landing is full of zombies and skeletons, too. At least they don't have guns, so I can just melee pound them.
(turns out some of the skeletons have hideous cries which work at long range)
Hamlet tells me:
Not so quick on the uptake, but maybe he didn't read the sign.
Uh oh, my UZI doesn't work either! That makes skeletons in packs of 7 somewhat annoying. Hamlet is so damaged by the trick healing statue that I switch him to Dueling sword just for the extra defense.
Ghouls seem to have Unholy Maces as well!
I might be wrong about the loot - it appears the chests are still there, just all the monsters were replaced with undead monsters, and the floor tiles changed.
At Flicka's desk we can get Fairy Dust now... which would mean I could get a healing potion if I went outside AGAIN to Flicka's Flame...
Also there is the remains of flicka... and I missed the SS...but he tells me to "care" and not give up... oh, I see I picked up another Care bracelet, which I guess I could get more Angelic Powers. But one is enough. Touching.
All the chests are now empty, so what the heck, lets head to level 2...
into the crater...
first message:
then I "use" parachute
And I guess we're fighting....
here is the terrain after a couple rounds.
I think the "surfers" are talon demons and scratchers, and the "Jason" guys are tiny demons.
here's a tiny demon ss:
I wonder if my UZI works.... it does but it broke out of ammo (turns out that it hits a whole group - but each target uses 1 "use". Other area effect 'ammo' weapons work the same.
I finally dispatch them all...
And here is the local sign...
On that note I will wrap this update up... next update contains SHOCKING events! Oh, I bet you think that's a pun. It's not, but there will be some carnage (and cool enemy screen caps!)
