Im playing on easy.

It's ok, you can replay through on hard.

I think this gorthair guy, or whatever, hes another one I cant kill by hitting him, only drive him away? Ive chased him through two tunnels, and made it to his apparently final hole, but am having some difficulty with that.

Never mind, Ive gotten to the beginning of "interloper" and am having trouble with THAT.

[Solver]

It is Gonarch, and definitely not a guy.

Interloper is tough. Needs a few jumps, too. Hint: the Crossbow takes controllers down fast, or use the Magnum at great distances.

[Kataphraktoi]

Guy is a catchall term for anything

[Solver]

Yeah, but not for that thing

[Solver]

LOTM... finished the game yet? You were almost at the very end...

[DrSpike]

I'll go out on a limb and suggest he might be stuck on a jumping puzzle.

[lord of the mark]

Im on the nailanth chapter, Ive done the first place he teleports me to, and am trying to do the next one, where I have climb on a ball that floats up and then jump (i think) to a teleporter.

seems to me someone told me I should spend time playing the game rather than posting about it

Also I didnt play wed or Thursday nights, out of deference to the New Years Holiday.

Your goal in that chapter is to avoid the teleports. You don't need to beat those places, you only get sent there if you're not doing well. You can try hiding behind a pillar when Nihilanth shoots a teleport ball at you or you can actually shoot those teleport balls down. Explosives work well.

Just kill the ugly thing, it's not that hard

Almost finished

ok, Ive destroyed the crystals, killed the orange dots, and the things heads opened up, but i have trouble finishing it off. I need to fire INTO the head? But Im out of RPGs, which would seem to be the best weapon, and out of MP5 ammo, Ive got a few MP5 grenades and hand grenades, which I seem to have trouble getting in the head, and some shotgun ammo, which doesnt seem to do anything, even using autoaim, and maybe a couple of crossbow bolts left.

I would take the teleport to the last room to get more ammo, but I keep dying there (thats the one with a swimming monster and several slaves)

[DrSpike]

Shoot his head with whatever you have. If you are having problems try to redo the earlier bits without using all of your ammo.

You can even use the trampoline launchers to land yourself in his head and take a crowbar to it if you have to.

RPG is actually the worst weapon to shoot there, the thing keeps floating around, so you'd be hard pressed to hit it with the RPG. Just shoot it with anything. The pistol or the revolver will do. Not sure about the shotgun.

You really don't need a lot of ammo there - even on the heard difficulty, it doesn't take much damage to destroy it.
