Day 19
So here we are, the last day on Metavira.
Because it's final day and thus last update, I'll post here more screens so it'll be little more detailed. Also, it took me quite a lot of tries before I figured what's this one about, I'll explain how things work later.
First, here is equipment of all mercs.
As you can see, i have a lot of explosives, Scully and Ivan have max. possible protection.
Here's the last view of Metavira map. Enjoy ^^
And here's Santino's base. There are 3-4 possible ways to get to the base. First 2 ways are about crossing S or E bridge and shoot you way through. It's possible, but quite dangerous because of course, enemy mercs are well equipped and skilled. Also, until you get to Santino, enemies keep respawning, so they'll be running into you all the time.
The other possible ways are along the walls. The NE path needs to blow one bush, but you'll have slightly worse cover and quite nasty hidden enemies with little chance not to get at least hit (worse, wounded or killed). Well, considering you care about what will happen to your mercs of course, if you don't you can use meatshields as you wish.
The SW path requires more explosives, but offers quite a good cover. Since I went this path (after few tries from east), it will have my full attention.
I put mercs to safe distance and went to blow that bush.
This turd actually tried to cross the water and started drowning.
First bush down.
I p. much ignored that drowning guy... for now.
This one was was a threat, however.
Next bush down.
And this should be the last one.
That's what i was talking about. I have excellent cover while enemies have to flounder through that water.
Oh, so this is the last. And hitting that guy just by the way.
Again, another enemy totally exposed while my mercs are still heavy covered
I even think that he died because he lost all stamina, not because i killed him
Now this was getting more tricky, because enemy now had similar cover like me, so I used everything to drain their stamina.
Advancing and stunning another guy.
Again, point of this grenade isn't to wound them, but to knock them down. (there's another guy on the right covered by the blast.)
While I kept enemies pinned down with grenades, i planted an explosive on the wall.
The explosive wasn't necessary, but first i tried to blow up walls on the left to get to Santino. The problem was, as enemies are respawning, there are doors on the left (one from upper building and one from lower) and every single turn there came a new enemy, so i got stuck. Because I spend my whole turn killing enemy and next turn there was another.
So after realizing that I could killing respawning enemies all day (without going kamikaze with some merc), I went straight through the front door.
Now good thing was, that when i was in that buildings, enemies didn't respawn there (though they were probably in the other building).
Now it's probably time to explain what's the 'objective' of this sector.
In the upper left building is Santino, that will blow himself up as soon as you spot him. There's no way to prevent it (he's invincible). Next to him is the sapling that will blow few turns later, so you have to be fast enough to get it (if you care about it, i don't think it's needed to complete the game). However, there are randomly exploding bombs in the building.
I blew up that wall because i was actually thinking (didn't remember it well), that you have to leave the sector afterwards, I also didn't remember how many bombs will blow.
I put there the second screenshot just to show the leet face expression.
Yea, we didn't have much time to chit-chat.
And here is some cinematic experience (sup bioware?)
And 'victory' lines of our squad...
And Brenda...
And rating...
So that was it, I hope you enjoyed it.
edit: fuck off grammar nazis. i know there are mistakes but i'm too lazy to correct them.
