Quake Monsters
Rottweiler
Bad, bad doggie! Play dead! -- blam! --
yipe! Good dog!
Grunt
Goons with probes inserted into their pleasure centers;
wired up so when they kill someone, they get
paroxysms of ecstasy. In essence, customized serial
killers. Easy to kill, and they tote shotgun shells.
Not hard. One rocket does more then enough.
Enforcer (registered only)
Grunt, Mark Two. Recruits who are surlier and beefier
than the rest get outfitted in combat armor and built-in
blasters. The orange blaster bolts these super-grunts
fire are easy to deal with from a distance but lage
munbers cause problems when up close.
Not hard too. One rocket will kill them.
Knight
Canned meat. Open 'er up and see if it's still fresh. The
animation on this guy is very well done, and you really
start panicking when you realize he's just as fast if not
faster than you are.
Again a single rocket will kill them.
Death Knight (registered only)
This particular canned meat tends to open you up
instead. Brutally tough and fast need thee grandaes to
see them off and are resitant to the nail guns. Keep
them at a distance will allow them to unleash their fire
spray and bringing then in close will only cause more
trouble.
Really hard! Takes 3 rockets to kill him. Better use the Super
Nailgun.
No chance with a shotgun.
Rotfish (registered only)
Disgusting little critters who dish it out, but can't take it.
Kill 'em with a shotgun.
Zombie
Thou canst not kill that which doth not live.
But you can blast it into chunky kibbles. Great moaning
sound effects, and when you kill them they just get back up
and hurt ya some more! Only exploding them into little bits
keeps them dead. Their weapon of choice is (get ready),
pulling chunks of rotting flesh off of their own body and tossing
them at
you! This particular shot shows the zombie diggin deep to get
an
especially disgusting chunk to throw at you!
One rocket blows 'em away
Scrag/Wizard
floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee. Ugly
as hell. They're not real tough, but like to
bushwhack you. This monster comes out of
nowhere shooting green fireballs at you, and
usually nowhere is up above you, so you
better practice with freelook to kill these
dudes. They're pretty smart about sneaking
up behind you, but fairly easy to kill with a rocket.
Ogre
What's worse than a cannibal
monster eight feet tall? One with a
chainsaw, and a sack of grenades.
The animation is pretty good, and he
really gets into trying to lob your
head off with that chainsaw. That's if
you can get past all the grenades he's
pasting you with!
Hard. Takes 2 rockets to kill him.
Spawn (registered)
A merrily bouncing blob as dangerous to kill as to ignore. Blech.
Like
that thing from the abyss. A tad dodgy looking and extremely
vulnerable
but cause damage to you when they exploade nearby.
Fiend/Demon
Ok, you wanted great AI and fast
monsters - this dude's for you. This
monster comes screaming at you and
then jumps all over you making the
coolest slashing sounds - oh, that's your throat being slashed
- gulp,
glug, die. Better practice taking advantage of those jumps
Just as hard as the Death Knight.
Vore (registered)
A spideresque hybrid horror. Keep your eye on the
energy pod he hurls. The most balatant Doom rip off in
the entire game. A spider that's as crap as thier name
and look about as menacing as a jelly. But the Quake
damage spreadsheet makes them as tough as a sheet
metal.
Get in the open and when he fires at you hide behind another
monster. The energy pods will hit the monster your hiding behind and will
start a fight between the monsters saving you ammo.
Shambler
Even other monsters fear him, so expect a clobbering. He shrugs
off
explosions. This ugly fellow is HUGE!, he barely fits in the
room. He
launches lightning bolts in your direction once he sees you,
so running
better be part of your attack plan. A few nails seem to penetrate
his
hide pretty well. Good luck.
The Biggest, Baddest Monster of all! Rockets don't do any good
but The Super Nailgun will kill him fastest.
