Hi Dark, I actually never realised the compass in dark room or the ensign guided you, I'd just never really given it any thought and assumed it just pointed out the direction you were facing. This is probably why I was struggling to complete dark room on hard since I've been exploring for what seems like forever trying to find one of the last parts of the game, still completed it yesterday on hard so that's all done so I turned my attention fully to the ensign, I think I'm close to the end of the game, I think I found the bit you had reached and died but have now got past it. I've put the details below and since I think your already there shouldn't be a spoiler to you, but read at your own risk just in case you're not there
The ensign Spoilers below .... So I'd found the places to upgrade gear then all of a sudden a defector appeared on the map and started to track me, I tried to get back to the swamp since I was pretty low on gear and food, but couldn't get there, but still thought it shouldn't be too bad until I saw his health of 199! And for all my trying he was just far too strong I only managed to get him down to 141 before he destroyed me and I died. I started the game again and the defector was straight there on the map and armed only with fists I barely managed to even injure him. Decided to give it one more go, only this time the admiral gave me a weapon to start with and also no defector , got all my gear upgraded nice and quick then when I met the defector he only had 60 health. I've met a few of them now and they've all only had a health of between 50 and 70, so I'm not sure if the game is designed to adjust the difficulties/defectors health if you fail at first. Anyway almost at the end of the game now, the main issue I'm having is I seem to have run out of caves so weapons are in sparse demand for me, also I noticed the outposts seem to disappear after you re visit them which makes food a bit more of a valuable commodity in the ensign Enjoyed playing the game though , so thanks for the recommendation , although I've put a fair amount of time into getting where I am now so would be gutted to die and have to start all over so fingers crossed I make it to the end Paul Lemm -----Original Message----- From: Gamers [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of dark Sent: Saturday, November 29, 2014 7:16 AM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] A dark room. I think the level up punch is supposed to mitigate the games difficulty somewhat, indeed if you start a game it's better to play until you die for that reason. just because The Ensign doesn't have the resource management, that doesn't mean you can run through the game just visiting the notable places, indeed you need to visit caves regularly for your improved weapons. I will admit I've not got as far in The Ensign as I would like, indeed a couple of resources I've not yet found a use for, sinse there is one bit where thus far I've always died which i'm not sure how to escape, but annoyingly it's about half an hour into the game. If I can't work out how to pass that particular section, or at least what stratogy to use to avoid it I might end up having to e-mail the developer, but I don't think I'm out of ideas yet. All the best, Dark. --- Gamers mailing list __ [email protected] If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [email protected].
