Observasions while recording the video:
- it is awful to hit one thousand times with alt pk weapon!

How's the RSI problem going, pool? I loved the way you walked into that fight with low(ish) health and armour. If I'd have even thought of doing it, I'd have gone in 100/100 at least .

If anyone asks that most asked of forum questions ("How do you kill the big dude at the end of Catacombs" ) again, we can now add "... or look at pool's vid" to the usual answers.

Nice stuff.

Thanks GreyBeard.

Health? I did not notice it when started. Most difficult was to hit fast enough to make killing time proper enough, at least 5 min. To do this i hit alt fire of pk weapon in a special way and becouse of that i coudnt fully control mouse (you see it in the vid). But anyway it was fun for me.
1000 hits of alt fire of pk weapon in 5 min!

But what is it 'RSI problem'?

hrm, I didn't think it was possible, not that I tried that, but I did get in the back of the fire chasm, turned the beam on him, left for 10 minutes, came back, and decided that wasn't going to work...

Hmmm...
The health of the Big Vamp is 99999, the damage of the beam is 10.
That means 9999 sec to deadline, or 2h46min39sec...

...you're to impatient...

Not really. Painkiller's time unit is 1/30th seconds, so the the damage of the beam is 10 * 30 = 300 health points per second. It's still a long time to go: 99999 / 300 = 333,33 seconds ~= 5,6 minutes.

I just looked it up because I did that too (mounting the beam and killing the Vamp that way) and it definately didn't take >2 hours

[pool]

Let us calculate:
99999/(5*60)=333.33 hp/sec.

I maneged to harm the boss even more if he was in beam constantly. Becourse of the fact that one alt pk weapon hit is -99 hp anf if you hit a monster more than three times in second the damage will be more than in beam.

Yes, I cannot even imagine hammering the mouse button 1011 times in five minutes

[Artas1984]

But the direct beam does 50 damage, so 333 HP/s was with direct hits.

Anyway, it's a pointless and boring thing, he is not even a boss...


I wish i had saved a video of how i once chainsawed him down to lava - that would be the thing to watch. He yell, i did that, but can't remeber what version of PK was that... No BS!

No it doesn't. This is single-player.

Why not record your kick-*** movie again, eh? Should be no problem for you.
