This vid is the newest mission I got when updating today. Today is the day that Dave The Diver came out of being an Early Access game! Congrats to the team @mintrocket_official! I have loved this game ever since I started playing it in EA, and I am really excited to play through the full game 👍
I had already went through every mission that EA offered, so this picks up right afterwards. You are tasked to go find the Glacier Passage Key for Tenzhin. Suwam will guide you to a previously blocked passage right near the Sea People Village. Once you head inside, you will get a glimpse of what looks like a ghost attack and eat a fish. These are the Gadons.
Follow the path to the puzzle, grabbing the items on the way if you want. To complete the puzzle, just use the stones and stack them how the mural looks. Pretty straightforward puzzle, but it seems that stacking them can be just a tad sensitive. Make sure that they are "glowing". I don't know if the puzzle is the same for everyone or not (it IS a roguelike), but the same method SHOULD apply.
After the puzzle, grab the key and get ready to evade the Gadon on the way out! Not too tough of a sequence, just make sure to take your time and watch the patterns. Use statues when necessary. Again, don't know if it is randomized, or if the area is the same for everyone, but just avoid them.
After leaving, John Watson shows up....YAY! The psycho now has a pretty awesome underwater invincible mech suit of sorts lol the key here is to evade him. I didn't do the best job of that at first, but just keep your distance, and once he pauses letting you know a rush attack or hand attack is coming, just commit to a direction and keep going that way. I found I didn't have to boost if I was far away enough, and responded to his attacks quickly. This will really save oxygen for this fight, as it was pretty long.
Since bullets can't hurt his suit, the only way to damage him is to guide his guided missiles/mines back into him. When you see him starting to telegraph this move (the launcher comes out of his backpack), get closer to him, and then circle around to the other side after he shoots, which will make him take damage. Don't get too close to him when this happens, I noticed that the splash damage hurt me as well, which really drained my oxygen. Also, don't end up too close to him after it detonates on him, as I found he does a pretty quick attack afterwards which got me a few times. Best strategy is to get him out in the open and not near the floor/walls/ceiling.
After hitting him this way 6-7 times, he finally went down, and I was able to complete the quest! I was worried for a bit there because he really does hit pretty hard, and I was still trying to figure out his attacks/patterns. Make sure to come with a lot of Oxygen! Probably grab yourself a portable Oxygen pickup as well (I found myself worried I was going to lose because I didn't have one). After the fight, we go back to Tenzhin and finish the quest, learning about the Gadons (I chose the long story because I want to know all the lore of this game).
Hope this helps! Can't wait to see what else the game has to offer, it really is awesome, and I 100% recommend this to anyone that likes diving/roguelike/fishing games. Great concept, and the team did a fantastic job!
