Gauntlet: Slayer Edition - 03 - Caves, pt1 [Valkyrie]
0Starting the Caves here, and it stirs some vague memories. The shamans can power spawners, after which they'll spawn stronger grunts. The big orcs are simplistic, but they're quite the bruisers. If there's enough of them, and you let your guard down, they can even get you in a situation where you're almost stun-locked.
Other than that, the most annoying enemies of this group are the spiders. The bigger ones hit HARD and are pretty quick. The small ones don't do nearly as much damage, but their bite slows you for a brief period.. that said, they also die from blocking with the shield, so that's a plus.
The spider queen is somewhat of a chore. Probably due to being Valkyrie, if I'm being frank. Though I'll be honest, I'll take the small spiders over the ghosts that liches spawn.
Also, lots of darkness here. I'd apologize, but there's nothing I can do about it. Darkness seems to be the gimmick of the procedural stages of the Caves.. instead of Death chasing you like in the Crypts.
