Are you looking for a smart strategy to handle these tough Diamond Dog foes? These opponents are some of the most challenging enemies you've faced, offering a solid challenge but making missions against them on extreme difficulty less fun. Their abilities can end you in one hit or less, leaving little time to react. They also teleport unpredictably, making it hard to avoid attacks like stabbing or shooting from behind. Are there any non-lethal weapons that could work against them? I know they’re not effective for non-lethal purposes.
It appears the location is at the very top of the nearest structure where you begin, using a rocket launcher.
This task is quite challenging. The skulls generate explosive rocks that instantly take you out, which is frustrating. If you release W while running, you become stuck in a loop and can't progress until the animation finishes. It led to multiple deaths for me.
Avoiding it seems unnecessary—are you relying on the parasite suit? With the LMG magnum and shotgun?
It's been a long time since I wrapped up the game, but I believe finishing this mission is necessary to unlock the true conclusion (mission 46). LMGs and shotguns seem almost pointless against skulls.
I’m not able to play through it, so I have to experience the real conclusion they describe. That means tackling specific tasks with unusual conditions—like Extreme scenarios, Stealth missions only, or solo infiltration. The skulls just serve as a reward, while LMG struggles against their protection, and both Magnum and shotguns fail because the bullets don’t penetrate effectively.
It seems you're expressing frustration about a recent event. Let me know how I can assist further.
