Stuck in the Scrabanian Nest
 
Hello - like Abe uses to say -

I am stuck at the end (I suppose) of the level "Scrabanian Nest" from "Abe's Oddysee".

I have found a walkthrough-video of how it should work, but it doesn't in my case:

At 2:06 you see Abe running and instantly rolling to escape the slug. But it's impossible for me to do so: Everytime I change from running to rolling, Abe breaks like a Cartoon-Charakter before he kneels. And that costs to much time, the beast gets me then.

How are you doing the roll? Are you stopping, pressing down to kneel and then moving onwards? What you should be doing is pressing the X key (assuming you're playing on a PC) whilst running to immediately roll in the same direction.

Well the X button would work on PS1 also.

If you didn't know about the insta-roll X thing, it took me an embarrasingly long time to work that one out.

joshkrz 06-30-2009 09:33 AM

Yerh same here, I was actually stuck where he was as well before I found out xD

i got stuck at both mudanchee and mudomo ender before i found out the insta roll now it just helps me dodge bullets and mines

but you can't dodge bullets in abe's oddysee it is impossible......... or is it? Have you ever done it by just rolling?

joshkrz 06-30-2009 07:19 PM

No it's not. If theres a slig in front of you and no ledge above you, your fucked.

It does help you if there's a tunnel to roll through, so that you're safe on the other side of a wall.

joshkrz 06-30-2009 10:09 PM

That dosent work in AE though does it? I've been shot many times on the other side of a wall you can roll under, or am I wrong?

Wil 07-01-2009 03:22 AM

Some tunnels seem to protect you, others not.

Atreides 07-03-2009 05:36 AM

I wanna thank you for your replys! I managed to do it now!

MeechMunchie 07-03-2009 07:40 AM

The fact that you actually thanked us for replying means more to me than it should.

Dixanadu 07-03-2009 09:25 AM

When you're under the tunnel, you can be seen and killed. If on the other side, you're safe.

At first, I also tried to do the former at places like the Mudomo Ender. Imagine that. Then I figured out the X button, but I did not hold it, resulting in Abe running into one of those stalagmites you're supposed to roll under. So yeah, hold it until you want to run again.

MeechMunchie 07-04-2009 01:41 AM

EDIT: I decided my correction was too pedantic.

RE-EDIT: Ah, screw this. Don't you mean stalactites?

you need a cheat :fuzzle:

joshkrz 07-04-2009 08:52 AM

Is that your answer to everything? I can see you must enjoy games if you just cheat when your a bit stuck.

MeechMunchie 07-04-2009 09:27 AM

This game is slightly challenging! Quick! Where's my cheat manual?

joshkrz 07-04-2009 10:20 AM

I used a cheat to get past the first FMV clip. Fuck that was solid.

Rofl, the only cheat I've ever used was Invencibility (Exodus) to play the game in total rush once. =P Well, obviously, it's pretty hard to Dodge Bullets, even when you use Run Jump. You need a precise timing to do that. Rolling never saved me, unless you go on a Tunnel. For instance, in Oddysee, there are some tunnels that don't protect you from bullets. Still, it's kinda fun in Exodus when you just sneak up behind a slig and prevent him from shooting you by slapping him. Now, that's utter fun. =D

I disapprove. So don't flame me when I click on "I disapprove" while giving this guy rep, I'm just telling the truth.
