Finally cracked Lowlands and made it to the end of video! I realised after a while that I was reloading a doomed run for a couple of days- even taking it back several steps to day 4 wasn't enough. Eventually a fresh game changed enough to pull it off. This is my first time trying to get the 'For Quintus - 4' achievement (70,000 Campaign score) so I'm tackling the hero missions on 800% also- I'm not sure how many missions I could afford to drop the difficulty or score on overall, to still let me get it. I hear you about it being a grind; I find it very frustrating when it could/ should be one of the more fun moments that break up the regular campaign play but they just feel very flat, let alone on 800% where the added grind gets boring fast. I don't think anyone would hold it against you for taking it at a lower difficulty, but sometimes we're all too proud to do that :) I appreciate the general footage from the 800% hero missions so I at least know what I'm getting in to.
Hey congrats for beating the narrow pass and the lowlands. These are some really really hard maps. If you are going For Quitus IV achievement then you also want to be carefull with defeats, as each time you get defeated on a map it reduces your victory points from that map by -10% i think. From what i understand you are using backups and saves though, which i get why some of the maps can take a long time and losing it all to 1 zed is awfull. I believe there is a room for error, when i got this i had like 120k pts i think when i did everything on 800% and had couple of defeats reducing my points. I already have the recording for the next video but it will be a longer one ill cover more missions in a single video with that. I hope i can get it done before today evening.
