Defeating Ant-lion Guardian

[wolfen067]

So. D@*n. Frustrated!

Okay, I'm in the corral with the thumper, with Alex and the Vorti, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to kill off the Ant-lion guardian. I've emptied all my ammo, thrown grenades and exploding barrels...nothing kills him off! Could someone PLEASE tell me what I'm missing here?

Thanks.

Just keep sprinting about punting explosive barrels and other heavy objects at them, they will start to spew dark coloured blood, they will fall eventually.

Thanks, Shift. I'll keep at it.

There's also a few bits and pieces lying around that'll deal out some decent damage. (An old engine springs to mind).

Keep at it - venture out of the thumper zones to procure objects to blast at them (with the G-Gun), return there for safety. Always move, sprint/bunny hop and try and keep track of them.

Oh, and when they toss cars and such at you, use the primary fire on the G-Gun to stop them hitting.

Just keep your sprint up and dodge (read: strafe while sprinting) when they get too close.

Yup, explosive barrels is the way to go. I suggest you collect as many as you can before the battle actually starts.

LOL I imagine him running around with a half dozen barrels stacked up on the gravity gun...

Bingo, they do in fact die.

I came out of that part with 6 hp though.

I pwned the guardian with an engine,..And after that I went Mojo-Jojo on the other one.

I think it takes like 20-30 direct 100% hitting shots per guard from shotgun to bring it down. They of course take more damage depending on difficulty level but you shouldn't run out of ammo there imo.

Yes engine is very good for pwning unless u have a gnome

That engine works nicely. I went out of my way to retrieve it after throwing it at them.

Anybody notice the cracking noise made whenever the Guard/Guardian is hit by a blunt object?

Did the same; I ran out of exploding barrels and ammo and the engine was the closest thing to me.

If played with close captions, or sth like that it shows [Shell Crack] whenever they were hit.
