Level description

Full Name: Brett Russell

Name of Mission: Lupis Three

Description of Mission:
Lupis Three takes you into the somewhat newly
infested Lupis system. It is important to
remember three things when playing this level:

1. Don't blow the reactor until you have seen the
exit.

2. Flares can disclose even the most transparent
of enemies.

3. Baby spiders only take one single hit from a
plasma gun to destroy.

This level is excellent for individual or
deathmatch play. Large design and fully
multiplayer supported.

--------------------------------------------

My opinion:

The spiderfest at the beginning and the winding tunnels with the yellow key are challenging. This level is abundant in shields so the level isn't too hard to beat above 100.

I usually don't read the level descriptions before playing the level. Just copying them into here, when uploading. The author's tips are not new for me.

This level is tricky, but not very hard. First, you need to be count how many do you shoot with your weapons because you can access the energy center only when your batteries are dry.
It takes 6 plasma shots to kill a large spider, 1 to kill a spiderling. 8 to kill a green platformer. Even if you count you'll be
out of energy till you reach one of the last spiders that drops lot of energy blobs.

There are no areas protected by keys, the reactor is available in the open. The 3 colored doors are stacked up in front of the exit.

In the area where the blue key can be found, that fan is an one way door. Its opaque and locked from the other side you can fire through, the mechs don't see you.

In the area with the yellow key. There is a door surrounded by lava. Only a cloaked driller is hidden behind it, nothing to see there. The doors are opened by triggers. You should enter from the side where the blue drones are found, on the other side there are green platform bots, which are the worst when you meet them in a tunnel like this, so avoid it.

The red key area is easy.
