Underrail: The Incline Awakens

The coretech warehouse is suicide-inducing. Your "allies" are either completely useless or get in the way so that if a single shotgun pellet hits one they turn on you. Giving the mercenaries two crossbowmen is also brutal.

Just stealth right in front of the entrance and napalm the entrance squares. Burst the stragglers down. I found that easier than hunting the enemies through the warehouse.

Finally started playing and this and i'm 38 hours in. Having a blast with a SMG + traps build.

Ran into the infamous deathstalker and died instantly. I genuinely laughed and said to myself that i understood now why it's an infamous enemy. Still managed to kill an handful of them so far, traps help considerably.

Sadly my chem is too low to build a napalm grenade. But yes getting them all at once when they enter seems to be the way to go.

Edit: Finally did it. Method was slightly cheesy, but I think legitimate.

Covered the entrance with regular caltrops and laid regular bear traps (didn't bother to craft/buy better caltrops or traps beforehand) at chokepoints. Used a combination of burst and regular fire from my two shotguns to kill about 5 of the mercs. Used a single flashbang to stun another 3 who entered all at the same time, which I believe was mandatory to survival. Then I used psycho-temporal contraction, sprint, and an adrenaline shot to retreat to the back of the inner warehouse. Waited for the Coretech fags and mercs to whittle each other down a bit and killed another 2 on my own and covered the entrance to the inner warehouse with caltrops.

Then in what might be considered a bit of cheese I retreated to the back again and ended combat and saved. Entered stealth and easily killed a sledgehammerer and sniper. Reentered stealth and ended combat again. A crossbowman came in but miraculously missed me with his net so I murdered him with burst and regular fire (because somehow almost all my pellets from my regular blast missed him). Put on my anti-caltrop boots and killed the 3 or so mercs who were wandering the outer warehouse.

So far on dominating I've reserved this (ending combat, entering stealth, and saving) for only the hardest fights. I'm hoping to be good enough with strategy to eventually stop having to do this even on hard fights, but I also think so much of this game depends on dumb luck (like that crossbow fucker missing me with his throwing net) that you have to cheese a bit.

I had the most epic battle with Carnifex last night. I was only level 13, but thought my character could do it. It took several tries though.

Carnifex got the first move but I upgraded the hell out of my armor, and it mitigated the worst of his damage.
In fact, he barely lays a scratch on me. I'm still crippled but my health is looking pretty good. I manage to incapacitate him with a flash grenade, and run a short distance away to hit him with a crawler bolt. He returns to his senses and runs over to me, and I just barely sprint away. He is fatigued as he wasted his adrenaline incapacitated. He then succumbs to the crawler poison for 2 turns of stunning.

After that I stand right next to him and throw a napalm grenade at our feet. We both catch fire like crazy. Carnifex freaks out but is stunned so can't do anything. All the while he is taking substantial damage. Eventually he breaks out of the stun and runs from the fire. I stay there right in the middle where it's hottest, because it's safer there than where he might try to cross. The damage is notable, but I have a trick prepared. I added regeneration to my armor so every turn I burn, I also heal that hp back. I wait in the fire for my shit to recharge, my bones to mend, and I also swap in some molotovs on my belt. I smash one on Carnifex and he runs for it. My HP is starting to get pretty low though from all the burning.

I have two turns of it left, just enough to cover with last stand. Meanwhile Carnifex runs to the corner. I carefully inch toward him, not getting too far from the fire. I then incapacitate him with another flashbang and get right next to him. I taze him in preperation for a finishing blow, but at that point he was too weak for it. He falls over dead and I have just enough time to walk out into the middle of the arena.

It was a really cool fight, I should of got a video of it.

Press Z and target enemies through doors and shit.

Thanks, that was bugging me for a while.

Saw this build on the Underrail forums and it looks very cool.

Makes me tempted to replay the game but I've already gone through it so many times and I usually get bored right around Core City...

Gonna be hard to hit anything non-CCed with only 10 DEX.

Death stalkers and crawlers become a joke once you research the fragment from the natives' graveyard. Just spam it if you think some stealthy cunt waits for you around the corner.

Though it didn't replace my frag grenades as sound distractions.
Why can't we have some stones/bricks for it instead of having to lob a grenade like a retard?

Always wanted to craft some firecrackers for that purpose in underrail.

Replaying now to start Expedition. Depot A is harder on Oddity/Hard than Classic/DOMINATING.

I can't seem to get the quest to meet Azif, even though i assume i did every optimal outcome. Or is

killing Modre

not considered optimal? Because i did discovered that he was Spectre before doing that.

What have you exactly done?

Killing him doesn't change anything, so it must be other quests. (Or have you killed him before confronting him with all evidence at the end of quest?)

Hercules data should be broadcasted with JKK system, while the easiest way to save the guy from prison is faking evidence.

I managed to convince the Foundry Chief that Todor was "innocent" by proving their evidence was inconclusive, discover that Lenox's brother was killed by a Spectre and that Mordre was a Specter, and exposed that merchant that was selling Hercules drug and managed to get posters everywhere saying that the drug was fake.

So i guess should have gone to the JKK instead of Gene to broadcast the last one?

Yeah, that's it. Going to Gene is not considered optimal (as you get linked to the whole Hercules thing).

What you exactly need to do is to

use the JKK terminal in the passages between Lower City and the Docks. You can steal a key for it from generic JKK Technicians (they hang around JKK HQ). You need to hack it though.

That is false. Going to Gene works for the Oculus quests, I do it routinely since it's the quickest.

 

[Okagron]

Then i don't know what i did wrong. Is Jack Quicksilver supposed to be at a specific spot to tell me to go to Azif? If so, i don't know where that place might be.

If i somehow fucked it up, i'm rather okay with it because i was going to do another playthrough after this one anyway. Still would like know where i fucked up to know how to do it correctly in the next playthrough.

I've read somewhere that you have to be careful when talking to the guy selling Hercules: don't make fun of him, don't tell him why you're buying the drug.

 

[Alphons]

I could've sworn going to Gene didn't work for me last time.

Anyway, it's either Hercules or Todor, as Mordre quest seems to be in order

Okagron , how did you meet with Todor? Have you arranged a meeting through the warden or sneaked in? Have you explored prison at all? (some alarms can trigger after you leave).

Edit: Didn't read your last post. You haven't returned to Jack yet? He's in front of Hardcore Bar and should tell you to meet Azif as soon as you turn in all 3 assignments.

Convinced Delma to allow me to interrogate him, he explained what happened, and i told him i would help him out. I didn't tinkered with the cameras, so that's it? If that's it, that's probably why.

I actually did turn in the quests to Jack, but he didn't give me any quest after that. So i did fuck up somewhere. Oh well.

No, all good here. So both Todor and Mordre quests are good. It's something with Hercules.

You're supposed to use premeditation elektrokinesis to initiate the stun before you flury. Also have tasers and flashbangs to initiate stuns as well.

If you were cheeky with the merchant and/or insulted him, that locks you out too.

 

[Metronome]

Just got to the deep caverns again with my most recent guy. This part of the game is a real drag. I've already maxed out my level (classic exp turned out to be more rewarding than oddity, particularly once you reach the Tchortists) and now I have to grind up materials for drugs. After that doing that the end-game is so dull. I wish I could just skip to the final boss at this point.

 

[Okagron]

Took a little while to remember but yup, i think i recall being cheeky with him. Had to pass a persuade check to convince him i was joking. If that's it, then yeah, i fucked up. At least now i know.
