Keyran-Solo Posted March 2, 2021 Anyone have any tips on how to beat E2M5 on UV with fast monsters/pistol start? I've done about 20 attempts and I can't do it! I'm determined, though. 0 Share this post Link to post

omx32x Posted March 2, 2021 just uv fast ot max secrets and kills as well? if its the former then i recomend you take the secret exit if the later then you should abuse cover and guide gunners into traps so you can easily take them out without much damage 0 Share this post Link to post
Pseudonaut Posted March 2, 2021 This was attempt #6. The first attempt died to the lost souls guarding the secret exit, and the others died in the first area because I was aggressive. In this run, I backtracked a bit at the end because I missed three monsters and wasn't sure what they were. Here are some tips: - At the start, get a box of shells ASAP - The chainsaw is useless against fast pinkies (still have to grab it if you want all secrets), but berserk punching can work. - Try to make the two barons infight with the cacodemons to save ammo. Infighting is more reliable with fast monsters because they fire projectiles so frequently. - Have the plasma gun and plenty of cells by the time you get to the secret exit; it's the best way to deal with all those lost souls. - TBH, hard custom wads on regular UV are much more fun than IWAD maps with fast monsters. 1 Share this post Link to post
Keyran-Solo Posted March 3, 2021 Thank you so much for all the advice and videos! And to clarify, I'm wanting to do zero saves and 100% kills/secrets. I beat it today by the way! The plasma rifle in the lost souls secret room was definitely one of the scariest moments. E2M6 is my next pain the butt; there's so many Pinkies, but at least I get a berserk at the start. 1 Share this post Link to post

I am sorry :D Without saves, there is no way that I could do all secrets and kills. But I could do the shortest way to the exist with no death if I didn't make the mistake of going the wrong way at the end. That's it. Lol.
