The Locust Horde
----------------
1. DRONE - Just the basic enemy that comes in many flavors: normal, rusher,
and sniper. Normals carry hammerbursts or lancers, rushers will rush with
shotguns or pistols, and snipers of course have the longshot.
2. WRETCH - These are melee-only enemies, but they travel in packs so it's hard
to kill them all before some get close. That's why the lancer's chainsaw is
best against these guys for easy kills.
3. BOOMER - Big Locust with a boomshot. They are kill-able with headshots, so
they can be very easy. Varients of this guy are as follows, and all of them
are slow.
4. GRINDER - Basically a Boomer with a mulcher. These are perhaps the hardest
enemies to down, but like most, aiming for the head kills them quicker.
5. MAULER - A Boomer with a Boomshield. Either aim for the legs or you and a
friend get on either side of him to get clean shots. He carries a flail that
explodes when it hits you, so run when he's close.
6. FLAMER - These can be drones or boomers with scorchers. It's best to aim for
the flame pack on this back to kill him quickly, but watch out as he'll run
toward you and try to take you with him.
7. BUTCHER - A boomer with a cleaver. I believe there are only two in the game.
8. REAVER - Flying Locust with rockets and riders. Once they land you need to
get away from their walking distance or they will crush you. Blindfire and hot
bullets help kill them if all you have is the lancer. Gotta stay out of sight
because of those rockets.
9. BLOODMOUNT - These are your worst nightmare if they get close. Two swipes
and you're crawling around for help. Not only that by they also have a Palace
Guard that will be shooting as well. So when fighting these you need to aim
for the beast's head to slow it if not kill it.
10. TICKER - Tiny critters that are fast and only want to explode next to you.
If they do get close, leap away, don't try to shoot them.
11. SIRE - These guys only have melee attacks, so just hold your lancer, hold
B, and you win. Easy.
12. SEEDER / NEMACYSTS - In this game you only encounter about five seeders,
and you only need to kill two. They are big and spit out nemacysts. The
nemacysts fly in the air and charge at you, so shoot them of course.
13. ROCKWORM - Mostly harmless, so just shoot the purple fruit and they become
your cover. I don't think they attack at all.
14. CORPSER - You only fight four in this game, three you shoot in the Centaur
and one you fight at the end. Both times are easy. It was an easy boss in the
last game, so no surprise here.
15. THERON GUARD - Not many in this game. They usually bring torque bows and
are extremely tough to kill.
16. PALACE GUARD - Basically a Theron with different weapons and come in bigger
packs. They aren't as tough as Therons, I believe.
17. KANTUS - The strongest infantry enemy. These carry gorgon pistols, ink
grenades, can revive downed enemies, and can send tickers after you. Kill these
guys before anyone else if you can.
18. BRUMAK - Not too tough, just aim for the guns on their head.
Bosses
------
19. RIFT WORM - Not really a boss you fight, just a long level like something
out of Mario, complete with a moving wall even! You cut blood vessels and fight
little creatures that apparently have no name.
20. LEVIATHAN - For this boss you cut the tentacles that get on your boat,
then shoot his eyes when he bites, and then get in his mouth. Inside you shoot
the blue tentacles then toss a frag into the thing's roaring mouth. Repeat
three times for a victory.
21. SKORGE - You simply out-mash him with B three times. In between you leap
away from his poison frags, avoid the tickers, hide from his gorgon bursts,
avoid the stalactites that fall when you hear sawing, and then dive away as the
pillar falls on you; the pillar will always fall on you, so you must dive away.
Then tap B when he leaps at you.
22. HYDRA - Simply a rail fight in which you must shoot him when he is in front
and about to charge you. You need to avoid his missiles, which usually change
their path. The first part has you shooting his tongue when it's exposed or his
gun when it fires at you. The second encounter has you shooting his top, his
arms if he gets close, then hitting his front three times as he charges.
23. LAMBENT BRUMAK - Just point the Hammer at him and hold down the fire
button, nothing hard about it.
