Worms Armageddon - Strategy Guide (Page 02)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Worms Armageddon - Strategy Guide (Page 02).

   If you possibly can, get all the crates then blow up an enemy worm... it's tricky though!
 Make sure you get the ninja ropes. 

   After that, it's up to you... depending on how much of the weaponry you amass, it can vary
 from easy to impossible. You may need to use a girder to provide a platform for you to drop
 onto if you emerge from the left of the boot (as opposed to the top). I find it easier to deal
 with the left hand side first, just 'cos it means you can attack close up then rope over to the
 other side. Also, if you can end your go on top of two worms, they often leave you alone. 

   One final key point - sudden death is a blessing in this level, as it takes away their worm
  select ability. Knowing this, you can plan when to move where. The water does rise, but only
  very slowly.

32: Trouble in Toy Store
Difficulty: 7 

   Your first priority in this mission should be to kill the assassin underneath the scientist. 
  Use a mortar and/or uzi to get at him, then blow him away however you please. If you can't
  kill him by his first turn, he'll probably move. If he does, you may not be able to get at 
  him for a while. 

   Use girders to patch up holes in your defences. If you've blown a hole through to water in
  killing the assassin, block it off quickly.

   The nearest worm is easy to kill, as there are lots of mines around and often he has crates
  nearby which can help damage him. In fact, the crates can help kill most of the enemy.

   Try to keep your worms away from the scientist, as they can draw fire away from him. 

33: Spectral recovery?
Difficulty: 7 - 2 with this guide 

   There are two methods for this one: the first is fairly foolproof, and is adapted slightly
  from the one Hakan Waag sent me (thanks!). The second is my way of doing it, which takes one
  less go but is slightly more dodgy. 

First method 

   Go 1: (Left worm) Blowtorch left. 

   Go 2: (Right worm) Blowtorch down/left from the bottom of the grenade hole which you'll
  probably be standing in. 

   Go 3: (Left worm) Blowtorch left. 

   Go 4: (Right worm) Blowtorch down/left again. 

   Go 5: (Left worm) Blowtorch left again from far left of tape hole. 

   Go 6: (Right worm) Blowtorch down/left again. 

   Go 7: (Left worm) Fire the shotgun horizontally left twice from a safe distance - that should
  get you out of the tape.

   Go 8: (Right worm) Blowtorch down/right, into the hole with the crate in - you must pick it
  up this turn.

   Go 9: (Left worm) Place the girder you just picked up horizontally next to you (you'll need to
 use a short girder). 

   Go 10: (Right worm) Doesn't matter what you do. 

   Go 11: (Left worm) Collect the crate, which completes the mission. 

Second method 

   Go 1: Blowtorch to the right and retreat. 

   Go 2: Stand on the oil barrel - this is very important as you must die before you'd get
  another turn with that worm. You can kill the worm that attacked you if you like, but if you
  leave it alone it will take turns from other enemy worms that might block your patch later. 

   Go 3: Shotgun your way out of the tape and retreat. 

   Go 4: Go onto the next tape, at about the same height (so that you can jump back in even if
  the oil barrel has been blown up by the time you come back) and blowtorch diagonally downwards
  towards the crate. Stand at the bottom of your tunnel. 

   Go 5: Blowtorch or shotgun to the crate. Make sure you'll be able to get out... and start
  doing so, if you can. If you have been shotgunned in your last turn and the enemy is in the
  way, you should use the shotgun to get through to the crate - you should be able to do this
  in one blast, and then blast the enemy with your other shot, walking past him while he's
  recovering. If you don't get the crate this go, quit - you're going to fail this time. 

   Go 6: Run back to the starting point, and blowtorch left. 

   Go 7: Blowtorch left again. 

   Go 8: Blowtorch left again. 

   Go 9: Place a girder horizontally next to you (outside the tape). 

   The crate will now drop. 

   Go 10: Blowtorch through the final bit of tape and get the crate. Congratulations - you've
  completed all the missions!

					~!~Training Guide~!~
   And again, thanks to Jon Skeet for letting me use this too.

   ~Basic Training~

  This comes in three stages, one per medal, and there are three tasks per stage. 

		~!~Bronze Stage~!~

 ~Grenade skills Grade 1~
   Both targets can be hit with grenades with 1 second fuses. The second one requires full power
  or slightly less; both require quite low angles. (In fact, you can hit both targets using the
  same angle if you're lucky.) 

 ~Shotgun skills~
   Just shoot the targets - not a lot more to be said, really. When you're shooting down, get to
  the edge of the girder first, otherwise there's a chance you'll hit the girder and hurt
  yourself. 

 ~Bazooka skills Grade 1~
   First target: Full power, low angle
   Second target: About half power, facing right but nearly vertical - the wind takes the shot.

		~!~Silver Stage~!~

 ~Rope Grade 1~
   Use repeat swings here - press space to come off the rope, and space again to fire another
  time. You should pick up the baseball bat in the crate without coming off the rope, then
  continue to the target, where you drop off the rope, select the baseball bat, aim and fire.
  See the weapon tips page (when it's up) for more details on the ninja rope. 

 ~Grenade Skills 2~
   The first two targets are the same as before. The third one should be destroyed with a 2
  second grenade fired at about 45 degrees and just under full power. Remember that you can
  fire more than one grenade at a time.

 ~Using Firepunch~
   You need to combine jumping with firepunching. Stand under the crate, select firepunch, hit
  backspace twice to do a backflip, and when you're at the top of the jump, press space. This
  will perform a firepunch from where you are, enabling you to collect the crate, which gives
  you two more firepunches. You can then punch the targets in much the same way. For the last
  one, you don't need to use a backflip - try a "straight up" jump, given by just hitting
  backspace once.  (In fact, you may not need to jump at all; I haven't tried a standing
  firepunch.) 

		~!~Gold Stage~!~
 ~Rope Grade 2~
   This is quite similar to grade 1. Collect the dynamite from the left hand side of the screen,
  then make your way over to the target on the right (using repeat swings). Select the dynamite
  by pressing F5, then when you're over the target (preferably not moving much), press return
  to drop the dynamite. Land on the middle platform again, and watch the target blow up.

 ~Bazooka Skills Grade 2~
   First target: full power, about 40 degrees from the horizontal.
   Second target: full power, slightly lower.
   Third target: about half power, facing right and just off vertical.
   Fourth target: full power, and very shallow angle - the bazooka will skim the surface of the
  water before hitting the target. 

 ~Grenade Skills Grade 3~
   The first three targets are as before (except with the first two the other way round). The
  fourth target requires a full power, 4 second grenade aimed just below the corner formed by
  the girders abouve you (ie about 30 degrees from the vertical). The final target can be hit
  from below with a 1 second grenade at a slightly higher angle and about 75% power.

					~!~Tips~!~

   - Sheep can collect crates and stuff.
   - Think of the wind when firing.
   - Burrow at least one worm. 
   - Use strikes and super weapons if you are sure you are going to win.
   - Try to shoot them into the water on island maps if you can.
   - Try to conserve ammo. 
   - Make every shot count.
   - Losing one worm doesn't mean anything if you kill 2 worms with it.
   - If you can't hit the enemy worm(s) try hitting something near them to cause damage.
   - Use girders for protection.
   - Pick your targets carefully.
   - Try to get crates or utilites before some one else gets it.
   - Blow up crates or utilites if you don't want anyone getting it.
   - Hide after you shot your weapon.
   - Teleport when in trouble.
   - Take the shot if you can.
   - Take out weakest guy or a guy near on an edge first.
   - Get crates.
   - Stay near an enemy so their other worms can't hit that worm, beware of Worm Select.
   - Use weak guys as decoys so you can get stronger to come and take them out.
   - Trap an enemy in with girders, that'll make sure he won't get you for awhile.
   - Use your weak worms for suicide soldiers. Like run into a mine near an enemy or blow 
  yourself up and an enemy with a stcik of Dynamite. Make you do a lot of damage.
