[Audyssey] Shades of Doom difficulty levels

2010-05-27 Thread Lori Duncan
Hi I was thinking is there a scoreboard set up for Shades of Doom?  I've just 
started playing on the Bring Them On level, it's totally thrown me because 
there's more monsters coming out of nowhere.  I beat the game on the first 2 
difficulties, so am trying to do the same with this one.  A question I have 
though:  On level1, I accidentally shot that bit of equipment in the 2 
connecting rooms, I was about 50 feet from it and my health dropped to about 
90%, then in the next room I was tackled by a human and couple of angrey dogs 
they only hit me about twice but my health went down to 60.  How does the helth 
system work?  Thanks from Lori.

Hi Lori,
There are no scoreboards for SOD.
The health is tricky as it only shows you the percentage of your health from
0 dead to 100 perfect health.
If you want to know more,
spoiler
space
You have a hit point number that is not shown.
Lets say you have 1000 hit points at the beginning of the game.
And you fire on that bit of equipment that explodes causing you damage of
100 hit points.
Then your health would go from 100 to 90.
So you use a med kit that can increase your health by 500, but it does not
go above your maximum of 1000.
This means you use the 100 and throw away the other 400 that the med kit can
deliver, so it's not a good idea to use a med kit until you really need it.
Now comes the coffee.
Each time you drink it your maximum hit points go up but your actual hit
points do not.
Before the coffee, Your maximum is 1000 but you are at 750 so your health
indicates 75 percent.
You drink coffee that raises your maximum to 1500 but since you didn't use a
med kit your percentage actually goes down to 50 percent.
If you use a med kit before the coffee it would raise your hit points from
750 to 1000 and you would throw away the other 250 health benefit.
But after the coffee the same med kit would raise your hit points from 750
to 1250.
So the best thing to do is drink plenty of coffee then use your med kit.
