Default Chater 3 & 4 foes and defeating them [spoilers]

October 12th, 2009, 15:31
I found the lizard men really, really hard - fast and lots of damage and good swordsmen.

If it wasn't for all the FRED's I kept spawning (my saviour), I would have given up before the end.

Was there any knack for them in melee? Maybe power hit followed by a combo (which worked a few times on them for me)? Still got my ass handed to me though. I've finished, but curious if other people almost threw mice and keyboard across the room.

I've killed a few "Elite Warrior" Lizardmen in Chapter 2 not long ago. Crossbow, walk backwards, shoot until dead. The Ashbeast round the corner was a little harder … O_o

Power attack, back off, power attack, back off …
Usually worked well, one just had to be careful not to get surrounded etc.
I havenīt found a good sword fighting strategy in tight spots without space for retreat. Just parry, hopefully good timing and reloads.

Hmmm. Well in tight spots (later on) I relied on a tank(fred or human) to distract. Seemed a bit cheesy tho as the only way to hit them was from the side or back when distracted.

Posted this general strategy in some other thread. I developed this specifically to kill those annoying lizards. Works wonders:

Lizardmen are vulnerable to mid-rift sweeping attacks.
