lukenuetzmann plays Aliens - Part 2 of 4


Are we enjoying the game so far? I hope we are, because you ain't seen nothin' yet.

Level 2

(continued)


Get in the loader and keep presssing the fire button. This will let you take down anything in your path. Avoid the wrecking balls that come down and punch at the walls that block your path in order to get them to move out of the way.

The meat gives you two units of energy. It's not much, but it's something.

You'll start seeing Aliens come out of the floor to try and scratch at you. What's really interesting is that you actually see this in Alien: Resurrection, which wouldn't come out for another eight or nine years. As you progress, you'll see people stuck to the walls. They're going to die, though, because Alien offspring are about to pop out of their chests.

You'll also start seeing sacs with Aliens in them as well as Facehugger eggs. Shoot the sacs down to reveal the Aliens (which are pretty weak) and destroy the Facehugger eggs to continue on and get rid of any Facehuggers that spawn.

The dark room at the end is another boss. Shoot down (or avoid) the Aliens that surround it, as they'll come after you one by one. When they're all gone, shoot the boss's head as it pops in and out, while avoiding its tentacle-like arms. Thankfully, if you're not that close to them, you can shoot the tentacles down as well. As it loses health, it will keep shooting those brown sacs at you as it keeps popping its head in and out.

It's another car level after this. This time around, you'll have to deal with crates in addition to Aliens. If you can't shoot the crates down in time, stay away from them when they go over the wall. When you make it to the end, you'll meet Newt again. This time, he'll be safe.

Level 3


Avoid the black silhouettes as they move across the floor, and shoot them when they turn into Aliens.

You'll soon start seeing green globs of acid go through the floor. Avoid these blobs as you keep fighting the enemy forces.

After you get the weapon power-up and the health power-up (if you need them), you'll see a vent which generates Facehuggers as long as it's on-screen. Destroy it so you won't have to deal with them.

The boss here is a spider-like Alien that shoot a whole bunch of flesh-colored orbs around it. Stay away from the orbs, and keep shooting from a crouching position. If you have a powerful weapon such as Flame, you'll be able to take it down in no time.

You'll then climb your way down automatically, and then you'll continue on with the game. You'll be entering some vents again, so check your radar to see if stuff is going to come out of the ceiling (or the floor vents) and attack you.

Once you're out of there, you'll be waiting for electric barriers to disappear. After a while, you'll fall through the floor again. Stay on the upper half of this section so you won't have to deal with all the crap that's going on down below.

When you go down the next ladder, you'll take on four red Aliens that expand in size when you shoot them down. When they stay big, you're really close to destroying them, and when you do, they explode. Just make sure they don't jump on you.

Stay away from the aliens that are clinging onto the underside of the steel floor, as they'll shoot some sort of plasma-like projectile at you from there. When you see the two barrels, get to the far right and destroy them from behind so you won't have to deal with those Aliens underneath the floor anymore. After that, you'll climb another ladder.
