Most hated foes... - by BoundVorticity

What I did against Simons was to avoid him until I got to Area 51, then when he comes running out of the bunker, snipe him twice in the head. At which point he turns angry, then I managed to get him in the stomach and he died.
Man, I was happy when that was over.

Simons loses you as easily as any other AI would. That coupled with the fact that he's only armed with a plasma rifle and a Dragon's Tooth makes him pretty darn easy, especially compared to Gunther or Anna on Realistic. Just zigzag to dodge the shots and hide until he starts jabbering, then sneak back out behind him and lop his head off with your own Dragon's Tooth. Simple simple.

Heck, you can take him down with the shocker prod if you shoot him some first. He loses 1% health per shock, so he isn't fully immune.

That wasn't THE witchboy, was it??? If so, whoa! I salute thee!
Strange, I didn't find Simons that difficult; a couple rockets and he was down (and no that was not on easy). Perhaps I should give myself a challenge and use something else next time.
MiB's are pretty easy to take down, as long as you have enough room to run away... about 4 or more tranq shots and they don't even blow up when they 'die'.
But indeed, the green greasy greasels! Ohhhh!

um... ok.
This is the tale of a guy (me) who got his ass kicked by that Simmons-guy. Twice.
So, third time around I was thinking, I need to give myself an advantage. I got a gas-grenade ready and threw it at him as soon as I stepped out that steel-door. He started talkin' and only had time to say a couple of words before the gas-grenade exploded. He imediately stoped talking. "He's mad now!" I tought to myself. In my head. So, I pulled out my GEP, and was just about to pull the trigger when I noticed that the crosshair was green. GREEN! I walked up to him and tried to talk to him, but he just stood there and stared straight forward. I can't just leave the guy standin' here I tought, so I hit him in the head, with the lightsabre (or dragons-tooth, whatever). And then, he died!
THE END
Based on a true story.
PS. It was like a bug or somethin'. I installed the new patch today, so I don't know if it works anymore.

I killed simons with a single hit from the dragon tooth sword, but that was for three reasons
1)Before I talked to him, I activated thremoptic cameo, and he couldnt even attack me
2) I had master level ability for melee weapons (i also had my combat strength mod on and completely upgraded, so he wouldnt even stand half a chance)
3) I had the newest patch installed, and when i select the dragon tooth sword, it says it does 100 damage (same amount as the law rocket) by default!! And it says i do 150 with each hit because of my master level.
My most hated enemy was the Spider bot, even though I could kill it with the sword (i have been going through the game using almost completely melee weapons, including the knife until i got the sword. weak, but challenging and really fun for backstabs).
The Spider pissed me off so much because it shot me even when it isnt looking at me, it is running away really fast constantly and it is so damn hard to hit because it is so low on the ground, it moves faster than I do when i am crouched. It drained my energy and in large groups it really really pissed me the hell off, so if they take away all my energy i throw a emp grenade right in front of me and it will disable all attacking spiders, but then i have no energy for regen, my main source of healing in battle (melee guys get hit a lot, but with 40 points of healing a second, it isnt too bad)
I tried to see how long i could let anna survive without having to kill her. I got to the point where i could not escape from the UNATCO base when Alex is too afraid of her to give me the key, so i have to kill her first. I ended up using the killphrase on her (funny) and she exploded instantly, making my job much easier.

Try dropping metal crates on top of those spider bots.. it saves ammo and looks pretty cool too

It is ten times easier to duel Simons with the dragon tooth. The worst foe are the commandos.

I dont find the greasels to be too much trouble. I just hit them with the assault rifle. On the other hand, I'm scared to death of military bots. Those things freak the hell outta me. Commandos are pretty bad too. Oh, to whoever asked this (I forgot who), you
can EMP the commandos, then tranq em. I did that in the HK VersaLife Building. I also hate bitchy scientists, club security, and most of all...Ling.

'Heck, you can take him down with the shocker prod if you shoot him some first. He loses 1% health per shock, so he isn't fully immune.'
The above refers to Simons.
Since when? I dodged until he ran out of ammo and then spent half an hour prodding him (it was a slow evening on TV) but he wouldn't die dammit!
Got so bored I GEP'ed him.
Denise on 14/3/2001 at 19:58
A targeting aug with percentage readouts would help a great deal. You can't actually carry enough prod ammo to take him down with it alone (unless you use codes for ammo, in which case it's doable just simply takes a ridiculous amount of time).
