Rifts of Larudhu - Hold Position

[slayernz]

Okay, I am doing this level and am scratching my head. Normally I look at the map and suss out the objectives and the like from the briefing, but in this particular mission, there is nothing on the map. All it says is hold.

It would be nice if I knew where the docking area was so that I could go there and form a defensive position until the ship came back. However, there is no hint at where I should go.

I could just play the level and see what happens, but what happens if I miss a trigger because I haven't moved ... or if I move and find that I didn't need to.

Am I thinking too much into the level? If I had unlimited ammo, I'd have no problem picking a pseudo-random spot to hunker down in, but I'm afraid that I go somewhere to blow a pile of aliens up, then suddenly find myself 40 squares away from salvation with zero ammo.

Take one pace backwards,seriously. ;D

Till it gets fixed anyway.

[blackgauntlet]

Yet to try it again.

It's not fixed yet? Damn I miss my free XP! ;D

[gravismetallum]

To be fair the briefing "Hold the line" is a bit vague and scary,I woulda stuck around longer if they set up a couple of tripod mounted vulcan leviathan cannons.

[slayernz]

Yeah ... tripod mounted sentry cannons with 500 rounds each ... that'll be the most appreciated piece of hardware ever!

[blackgauntlet]

And wall-to-wall high-output laser nettings. Watch those suckers walk towards you in one piece... and fall at your feet in several. ;D

I have the same problem in the 2nd or 3rd Moons Campaign Mission,where u must hold position waiting for another squad...I'm playing it on Normal...It's impossible...At which turn does the squad arrive?? XDXDXD I want a Mounted Gun,s*it XD

[fallen]

Slide87 - you need to survive 12 turns. i highly suggest you do not stay in the starting location.

[Slide87]

AH! So i can move from there...XD Ehi,i've understood another thing XD I tought my mission was HOLD THAT POSITION...^^Ehi Andrew thx XD 5 Restarts for nothing...=)

[Rico's Roughnecks]

The briefing has green marked squares as the objective, so I also thought you had to stay there or at least you had to be inside them when the time ran out but I didn't know how long that was so I just stayed.

I thought that was the hardest mission on normal

[Slide87]

By Now,confirmed =) It's a very crazy massacre xD

[blackgauntlet]

Squeezing your Templars in a corridor or a tiny room is the best way to survive. ;D

[Slide87]

Eh,yes,If u don't go in a corridor and all the Xenos come for u =) The First Line will be eaten in a few seconds...=)


--------------
>>1221<<
--------------

--- Corridor
<,> Xenos faced in arrow direction
1 First Line
2 Second Line

The first line kills the first Xeno,but the other Xenos occupy dead xeno place and attack First Line
If there are 2/3 Xenos by side,the squad can also survive(The second line kills Xeno reinforcements)
But if there are 4/6 Xenos by side it's very hard XDXD So...It's time to add grenades Cory =)=)

[fallen]

Slide87 - are you playing "Hold your Ground" trying to wait for the scout to come from the Dark Rain? If so (SPOILER ALERT) try going due south at the beginning of the level and holding that smaller room. That has worked for me even on Impossible.

[Slide87]

fallen no Andrew i'm trying to complete Moons of Endivius-Hold the Entrance mission on normal...yet I haven't re-tried the mission,but tonight I'll try with the ALWAYS-MOVE strategy...=) Maybe i'll be more lucky =) Also in this mission I'll search for a smaller room,yes,a smaller room is more defendible than the Initial position room...surely XD BTW,I want a bomb =) There will be a sort of grenade in V3???
