i wish i had known that much longer ago. I had completely drained this level of everything along with all of my supplies and he still hadn't died. It took me a solid week of playing, dying, and replaying to beat him with level 4 (non-quad) lasers.
You really don't even need to raid any of the rooms unless you're playing on the hardest setting. I find that time spent trying to raid the rooms is time that could just as easily be spent slamming him w/ earthshakers. I dunno, it's just the way I play.
The Fusion Cannon glitch is kinda funny actually. It works on all bosses that are immune to energy weapons. It looks so funny that it's hard to not do it at least once.
I freaking love this video game!!! and by the way, in the playstation version [Descent maximum], the boss is not as 'soft' as here, it really takes an eternity to kill him, even with earth-shakers
It took me like a week of intensing playing to kill the boss. The first time I shot all my missiles, all my ammo and all my energy at him without killing the bastard! Then I discovered he could only be hurt at his back, so I started using an excessive amount of smart missiles :)
Yeah. But that idea never occurred to me. I guess I was just too frustrated to think clear. It was so long ago, if you'd asked me how I beat him now, I don't really remember, all I know was I used a lot of smart missiles.
I recall being really easily scared at the time I played this game. I only had the courage to face this boss once. That he might be saying, "Can't hide in here," doesn't help.
Anyway, great game. Thanks for helping me relive some good memories.
I remember the shareware version of the original Descent, Destination Saturn came with my grandpa's computer. When I was a kid I played it, and the robot noises always scared me. I'd get through the first level but then when it started getting to the much darker, more confusing ones I stopped playing it.
The only game that ever scared me more as a kid was Nitemare 3D, a really, really stupid game to be afraid of considering I was fine playing Doom. Those damn noises when enemies see you...
That wasn't the shaker I was talking about, I found that one. I mean the one in the area in the wide, flat tunnels around the outside of the level, two segments are blocked off by grates, you have to send guided missiles to hit switches to lower them, and after that you see it between two grates
Can you make a bonus video to show how to get that earthshaker behind the grates in the hidden part of the level? Also WTF was up with those fusion shots, I've never seen that happen before. This game was great, D3 was awesome but I was a little disappointed that they never went in-depth to explain the origin of the virus or that planetoid
lol, I found the Shakers in this video! It starts at 0:50 and ends at 1:10. I knew that the Fusion would go mad so I did that on purpose. The boss is supposed to reflect all energy type weapons (so the Shaker is not an energy weapon, eh DiamondClaw?), but the Fusion still flies through and since the 2 Fusion bolts are not reflected, the game makes loads of Fusion. And if you noticed, that the shots' model is not reversed. It's really hard to explain. In otherwords, it's a glitch.
I HATED THAT DAMN GUIDEBOT ! i wanted to blow it up lol

Why dont you shoot your earthshaker missiles straight on him?
its more efectife than when you shoot it on a wall.
because you have than the shock and the rocket it self and the 3 ore 4 rockets what come out of the missle straight in it its more power full.
( i'm bad in english writing sorry for that)
Cheers!

The idea is to fire shakers at the wall behind him. You did have shakers, didn't you?

There is one more switch above the Shaker. It gets rid of the grate on one of the sides. Do you really need a video for this?

Involves actual aliens. The robots use human brain data too. More about that in the books. ;)
