Fighting Two Wolves

Post by GreenAlge » Sat Mar 08, 2008 10:28 pm

Anyone have tips for fighting two wolves at once on Insane? I succeeded the very first time I tried, (on level 11) but since then it's been apparent that I was just really lucky. The problem of course is that all but their weakest attacks can kill you with one hit; and if your attack is reversed, the other wolf will often kick you (often fatally) before you can counter-reverse. Plus the annoying tackle that can go through walls, up pillars, and somehow hit you in mid air. I've even been tackled while facing the attacker before as well as in mid leg cannon.

So, yeah... thoughts?

Well I don't know if any of my advice would help, but I can atleast sympathize with the winning the first time and losing the rest.

Perhaps it was just luck, but sometimes I find that if I play the same level for a long time I start doing worse and worse. Often I'll just change to another level or take a break from the computer completely for a while. Then when I come back to it I end up doing much better.

As for fighting to wolves, I'd just make sure they both aren't close enough to attack or defend simultaneously. If you attack one, the other will get you, if you reverse one of their attacks, the other will still get you. I'd try wall jumps and flips to get behind one and knock him down while they're both too confused to retaliate. Maybe with some luck you can even pull off a KO assassination and make it a much easier 1 on 1 fight.

I don't think there's any challenge level or part of the campaign where you have to fight 2 at once. You can always pull one away or jump on top of something. They then forget about you and walk around, or if they don't, they will always climb up the edge where you are standing. In that case just keep kicking em down.

You should try one of my levels if you want to fight more than 2 wolves at once.

There are various ways to fight multiple wolves. The easiest way to do it is running away from them till only one of them follows you, then kill him, repeat.

Edit: Check this thread, every level is described so you can pick 'em.

Hit and run tactics work fairly well on that level. It takes a while, but slowly wittle them down and run like mad.

Even there you can use the blocks to keep them off you. Or go up that ramp-thingy, they usually forget where you are.

Download Temple Mod, of course. It's a sticky thread in the Lugaru forum, it shouldn't be hard to find.

I hate 'em on insane mode (just trying temple on it, after normal difficulty) They tend to be a lot faster and they tackle you even in normal fights, which is a pain in the ass as tackle doesn't have a counter to it (I couldn't block the bitch even in slow-mo, with my speed set up at 2.0 to help)
