Hideous Destructor | Lost Civilization | No Failure Runs | Part 4
3 parts. That's how long this took me without any talisman help. Goodness me. Fortunately though, the third part's quite short. Enough to make me wonder whether to make it its own separate part or combine it with the next map's run, whenever I finally make that one.
To give you an idea on why I haven't finished the next map, imagine you've gone through a full hour of suspenseful combat with hundreds of enemies, only for the author to meme you and throw multiple archviles. That's how bad its gotten.
Anyways, The Farmlands proved to be the first real testing ground for how much I can tolerate 424A's new mechanics. Lots of long distance fighting where I either hit the head/double tap once they're down or the enemies come back springin'. It wouldn't be so bad if not for the one red keycard hiding across the figurative Red Sea before I could actually go and finish the map. Lots of encounters, ambushes, and post-keycard taking enemy teleports to bother me in this one. And this time, no ghosts to assist me in my quest.
You know what's the worst part about this? In the miraculous event that I reach the final map, I would need ALL the talismans I could get. If I can't even get past one map without spamming the lovely guys, I imagine it'll be hell on my psyche the moment I find the IOS 2-3 hours in the final map and just collapse to it from all the spawns without backups to help me (yes, Lost Civ drags the IOS map as well, a full blast of this humongous level design before you fight the IOS proper). Goodness knows Matt found it funny to also give the IOS some extremely cheap shots.
