Weight effect food?

Post by Cryxx »

I've always been a packrat in these games, I tend to carry extra items around until I need to drop them.

Anyone else notice that maybe it's effecting food rate for consumption?



my second question is how to deal with multiple spiders

They seem to respawn if there's 'any' eggs on the level and I haven't cleared 3. I think I cleared part of level 3 and wamo spiders from behind! and in front. I'm pretty much at a point where I can't draw them out or I'll fight 2-3 at once and I can't strafe kill them that way.

If they aren't respawning, then they are somehow getting behind me on the level which I've cleared.

I dont think weight affects food consumption, it only slows you down when you get encumbered. there are a few items and skills that do affect your food consumption tho.

Regarding Spider Eggs, they are just obstacles, in some levels, spiders (and other critters) will respawn indefinitely with or without them, just get through that area with hasty caution.

As walk through that spider area, a new area gets opened behind you. It contains 4-5 spiders I think! :P

thanks for the replies.

We'll see how far I get. Having a Mino my first run though on "hard", running old school (I don't do maps, I map in my head, always have), may mean I don't make it through. I double back a lot to check things. I only use about 4-5 saves. I could use more but there needs to be a challenge.

Hitting the eggs will always aggro spiders in the area, maybe even spawn more when broken.

There are some situations you want to keep the eggs intact so you don't get a mass of spiders roaming towards you.
