My last Daily I got everything done to enter the City of Gold, but I thought I'd get me a shotgun and made my way to the shopkeeper at the exit, shot him through a wall with the gold weapon thinking I was safe, said dead shopkeeper passed thru the wall and instakilled me, feck.
Finally got my Ice Caves shortcut opened up, so have been able to have a proper play on it...and it's hard! Seems like climbing gloves are kind of important for it.
I noticed sometimes it's snowing. Does that mean anything?
The Ice Caves are easy if you have the jetpack (I hate the climbing gloves). I soon stopped using the shortcut to get there despite the effort it took to open it up.
Yeah, cumulative equipment tends to make the ice caves the easiest level. Jet pack makes it ridiculously so, climbing gloves immensely useful I find. Can do some fairly easy ghost running with those two things.
some good tips there weadre! don't worry, you'll make it through to tunnel guy with the key from the mines... eventually.
I've stopping practising the temple using my tunnel short-cut now that I'm reasonably familiar with it and am now trying to limit myself to one careful attempt from the beginning each time I happen to be on the Xbox, although this strategy may backfire as I gradually lose my snow caves and temple skills due to rarely making it beyond the jungle... ho-hum.
Is it the whip the shopkeeper when he's in his little alcove, he jumps, crashes into the roof of the alcove throws his gun you have to run to the gun and then shoot the shit?
Alternative way for killing shop keeper safely (but cost 1bomb plus 1 rope). grab an item, go to edge of the shop so you are 'outside' but not far enough to anger him fire a rope up so he follows you underneath drop down and leave the item. Then place a bomb properly outside the shop ( such that the keeper doesn't get angry about bomb placing)
The one i've been practising but failing to do, is jumping at the wall above a shopkeeper, dropping a bomb when you hit it, then dropping down and throwing the shopkeeper at the bomb.
It looked really easy in the video, I can't do it for shit though.
Just got to the black market with 50+ sticky bombs and a dozen or so ropes. Bought the ankh then managed to accidentally aggro all the shop keepers who proceeded to slaughter me twice.
Be ages before I get another run like that, I love and hate this game intensely.
Why on earth did you buy the ankh? I always rob the black market, rarely die.
Good strategy with a lot of bombs is to blow up lots of the area outside the shop so the shopkeepers drop down when they get angry. Lots of spikes down there and lots of unguarded shops. Several bombs thrown or dropped into the ankh shop sorts that, then just bomb down to the exit with all your loot.
