Their not that hard to deactivate; it just takes practice.

However; if your looking for an easy way around them, I suggest using possessed Sligs, bombs or spirit rings to depose of them. I must note though that you will of course not be able to do this with every UXB you come across.

arnet you new so you cant possibly offend any of us including me (and i'm the lowest of the low, so, you know.)

On Topic: anyway, the first few mines you come across in ao have a pretty easy pattern, but you can usually avoid them, where as the patterns in paramonia and stuff are quite hard to remember and you have to know how many red beeps before the green each time.

*Beep*-*Beep*-*Beep*-*BOOP*-*Beep*-*Beep*-*Beep*-*BOOP*-*Beep*-*Beep*-*Beep*-*Slap*

Simple.

I think it's pretty weird to suck as much as you do, but hey, we all have our schtick.

OH HELL YES!!!! I JUST GOT RID OF THOSE FU**ING MINES THAT I HATE!!!!!! TAKE THAT YOU STUPID MINES!!!! Sorry, its just thats the first time I've actually tapped them without exploding.

I know fucking hell, even when you play at night it still scares the shit out of you.

Its all about the pattern thats how I learn how to disarm them.

Yer, but it still fucking pisses me off.

I'm actually stuck there right now. Been playing through AO trying to save all 99, just did the secret area and got killed by those anoying sligs. Happened 2 more times and then I said FFFFFUUUUUUUU- and quit.

I always am like, lets play, then I get stuck, and then I get pissed and turn it off. LOL;):D:p

Same here but sometimes I start to get tired and I just shut it off. I dunno if its just me but I think Im getting bored of the same games year after year. I want some new juice! Don't get me wrong though they are fun to play and they also are number 1 however I am just ready to move forward.

The mines in exoddus were awesome.

NO WAY, man.

When I first got Exoddus I was too afraid to touch the Mines, I Always got my dad to do it and if he did it wrong which he did often, I laughed so frickin hard.

Nowadays I still laugh. Who think the Oddysee/Exoddus Death Tune is really over dramatic. in a funny way?

I got my mum to do it, and when she stuffed it I was like, "you suck balls".

That can't be that offence because she most likely does.

She could be Lesbian though?:fuzwink:

That was one pointless off topic too much, infraction for you both guys.

Yep, Morse code, but sincerely I doubt it.

When I started on AE I had a lot of trouble with the mines; I think they're actually easier in AO because the lack of quicksaving means you have to stop and learn the pattern, rather than just going for dumb luck. I always recite the patterns out loud softly to get it into my head. Beep-beep-beep-BOOP-beep-beep-BOOP-beep-BOOP...

One of the most frustrating secret areas in the games! Only beaten by those two in Scrabania!

aww come on xav, your turning into nate, no offence nate :fuzblink:
anyway, yes, that secret area is so annoying, but sometimes the slig just walks right off the edge, it only does it about every ten times, and mostly when your on the left side of the ledge.

Yeah, I know what Morse code is. I was asking when it was used in AO/AE.

Although, rereading T-Nex's post, it's possible she was kidding and I didn't realise.

Hmm... morse code?

actually...no,i don't :)

hoh kay and whats that in response to fellow just_an_odd?

Every time I see this thread I think it's about Necrum Mines.

Here's a radical thought: the original question?

oh yeah, thanks!

Mine Drills?

And then you read the first post.

A short answer to the question.But if I have to explais becausen:I don't hate mines because they're not hard at all,deactivating them can be fun(if you have enough time)and i like the sounds they make...
