DAY 17 trickery HELP!!

BoostBreed75 · May 17, 2011, 01:09:19 AM

When you get down to the two pieces of creeper going around the rock square with two emitters inside how do you stop the encircling pair. I have tried everything I have 4 repulsors and 25 blasters down there right not and it's taking forever any ideas? Also I ran out of ore ages ago.

I'm pretty sure they're called the hyperdots.

Nevermind ;D figured it out! Just ask if you need help ha ha

Please tell how you did it, I bypassed that mission while beta testing by using a save for the day after that mission. :D

Hi ! New on the forum, but big fan of CW first and new edition ;D
I didn't have any trouble with the hyperdots, but I find myself annoyed with the end: creepers in the walls.
I can't save the capsule in time :'(

What is your strategy ? Use shields before destroying walls ? Use makers x4 ?
My blasters don't stand before creepers and drones... Well, I'm sure I'm not thinking right, so for the first time, I'm asking for a little help ::)

PS: please forgive my bad english. My mothertongue is french ;D
PPS: by the way, being able to save the game is wonferful !!!!

yeah... i got all the way to the last chamber and couldn't get enough space to get the pod before it got destroyed...

The dots??? they stick to the edges and your blasters heal faster. skip past them and destroy the pool that feeds them

In the last room you basically just want 5 or so blasters (to kill the drones) and *lots* of fully upgraded range and attack rate launchers; you should also make sure to have enough reactors to support using them for quite a while. You can use more blasters later on oncce it gets less dense to make it a little faster to clear it all out, but don't have too many blasters firing at the beginning or the launchers get energy starved. Also put a shield in front of the square that you excavate so your launchers don't get flooded with creeper. For that matter, I typically put a shield in front before opening any high density creeper area.

As far as the hyperdots go, you can get rid of them by killing the middle pool, but it's much faster to just ignore it and just not build anything in that area, you don't need to kill all the creeper in that mission.

gaah! why didn't I find that save?

I found that a line of 6 or 8 blasters will destroy the hyperdots; but there isn't much point. Just move your weapons through and set beacons out of the path of the dots.

For the Last Part I just did the bottom corners and the top I had every nook and cranny filled with blasters and the rocket ones. And up til that bottom room everything had been destroyed leaving me room for energy and techs also I was pumping anti creeper in using shields behind the maker to create pressure. Having a rift down there with several other blasters on standby somewhere else allows you to replenish destroyed blasters. Also I had everything uprgraded ha ha because of all the tech. GO BIG.

Thanks Kithros, I'll try your strategy about the walls full of creepers, hoping I can make it and finish the missions ;D

Quotedestroy the pool? are you crazy?

I must be, I didn't see you didn't have to kill all the creepers. So I destroyed the pool... But it wasn't that hard with a microrift in the bottom, a good line of blasters and 2 launchers; I got rid of the pool without trouble :P

The last room was placing 1 shield above the wall I'd dig out (to make it more contained), 10 blasters around the shield, and nabout 20 launchers(fully upgraded) to get rid of the creeper
