Easy way to do Farbor in Creeper World 3

  • A lot of people seem to struggle with this one, so I thought i'd make a lil video of an easy way to do it. I'm always grossly inefficient with things like energy usage and building spaces, I also send many cannons to their deaths routinely just because they don't matter much to me. :D
    But despite my lazy way of playing, I still beat Farbor pretty easy and here is how. No need for micromanaging 2 bases, no need try to shoot down the shuttles, just mad power, mad cannons, super shield and super bertha and win.
    Edit: A lot of people ask why the music stops, why there is no game audio, etc so instead of answering them all in the comments i'll explain here. The original video had the game sounds and I overlayed music on top of it. After a couple of years, all audio in the video was muted because some asshole somewhere didn't like me using one of their songs on this little Creeper World video so CZcams killed the entire audio track. All music, all game sounds, everything disabled. So I was annoyed by this, but it was already years old so I wasn't too worried about it, so I just did a quick "fix" and applied a single "Free" song to the video to replace the original audio track. I'd never had to do this before, I was annoyed, and also didn't really care given how old the video was, so I didn't play with it long enough to figure out how to add multiple songs to the track. So hopefully that answers everyone's questions about that.

    I never knew that Berthas could get upgraded by super spaces! This is pretty cool.

    • @TheDrexxus
      @TheDrexxus  Před 9 lety +21

      Jessie Jackson Yeah the Super Berthas are amazing. Fire 3 rounds and only require half the energy to fire so they shoot twice as fast. All in all they have 6 times the firepower of a standard one, it obliterates creeper. :)

      But, how do you even GET a Super Bertha?

    • @TheDrexxus
      @TheDrexxus  Před 8 lety +10

      +SlidingSilver The same way you get any of the powered up versions of stuff, build them in a power zone after you nullify an emitter. Like every single building can be beefed up in some way. The weapons shoot faster and have more range, the guppies hold more power, the relay's connection range is drastically increased, shields have bigger shield domes and exert more force, etc etc.

  • @bl4z3st0rm5
    @bl4z3st0rm5 Před 6 lety +51

    I keep seeing people pointing out the fact that bertha's shoot 3 shots when super-powered... as a matter of fact you COULD SAY that it didn't shoot 3 but 6 shots, as the required ammo is halved as well per shot, normally it's 150 ammo packs for 1 shot per bertha, but when super-powered the bertha shoots 3 shots for 75 ammo packs
    JUST PUTTING THIS OUT THERE!

    @matamanthemaster Před 6 lety +12

    I failed this mission first time. After stage 2 started I was using such tactics to rush to the final totem, however I was too slow due to managing 2 colonies which took a long time to destroy their emitters. This video actually helped me with confidence and small tips such as the enhanced Bertha, and where to place the nullifier. Thank You.

    when i play this, i play to take out all the creeper, absolutely all of it and if i havent killed it all by the end, i play until its gone. i tried that approach going into this one, not expecting to be so pushed for time and didnt even get close. then i tried starting one on the top left and bottom right to attack this level from two sides, that took even longer than the first time. thank you so much for this, i had lost complete faith i could do this on my own. i also made it this far without knowing the circles where the creeper tech used to be upgraded your buildings. it must have been explained in the first few systems because i skipped the first 2 or 3, since i had played creeper 1 way back when it was on addicting games

  • @hbarudi
    @hbarudi Před 6 lety +5

    Playing like this, once you nullify 3/4 leaving one corner that is collecting ore from the islands, and using snipers, you can totally halt their progress and be able to go around and conquer the whole map before nullifying the last one.

    You could've used the upgrade tower, for more energy efficiency.
    Also, if you'd put the nullifier instead of shield on the power spot, it might've got all 4 points.
    The Southern island is as easy to get, and you could've used two super-berthas, but it'd take double micro-management, so I see why you did not.
    I wonder if I finish CW3 before the 4th comes out in 2018.

    *THANK YOU* I saw it was easier to make sure I fire the bertha manually right before I land and when the creep is getting too out of control every time she fires I make sure I manually remove the target from her, and since she is on the power circle you can fire when she is NOT fully charged. I really hated this timed level, I hope there are no others like this.

      I was never a big fan of the time-sensitive missions in creeper world. I always treated the game as a casual kind of "play at your own pace" kind of thing. But that is why I made this guide, because you can not only win this level, but get the bonus ending for winning fast by using my method here. It's not bad at all. :)

    • @TheDrexxus
      @TheDrexxus  Před 5 lety +3

      Haha no problem, that's why I made the video in the first place. I've always been a huge fan of the Creeper World series and used to participate on forums and such talking to folks about it. I noticed that a TON of people struggled with doing this level and one of the other levels within the time limit for the special endings. I also noticed that there were tons of folks trying to "help" these players by giving them really bad advice... They were saying that you need to build 2 bases at the same time and constantly pause and micromanage both bases or to build an overwhelming number of snipers to shoot down ore ships to buy more time and so on.
      I shook my head at all that and ultimately decided I needed to show people that you don't have to do any of that stuff to win. Just brute force it with an empowered Bertha and lots of cannons + power is all you need. I actually did it very sloppily in this video which I still kind of cringe to watch because I made SO many mistakes, and i've thought about correcting those mistakes over the years, but I ultimately decide it's better to leave them in because it shows that even if you screw up (like I did in the video) or do things very inefficiently, you can still win without much bother.

      It's called Jazz in Paris. It's royalty free music CZcams offers. When I originally made this video it had a couple of other songs that played for the entire video but it was eventually flagged for using real music. I just kinda shrugged it off and replaced it with some freebie, non-issue music youtube provides. But with the nature of the edit, it only plays for the first little bit and has no audio after that point. But I chose Jazz in Paris after hearing it in a carbot animations video found here czcams.com/video/uk1jktjDhxU/video.html
      I liked the way it sounded. :)

    • @TheDrexxus
      @TheDrexxus  Před 5 lety

      Years ago when I played this, I felt the same way. I always liked playing in a more slow, relaxed manner that just gradually clears everything at a casual pace. I often enjoyed maxing out research and all that before moving on and I hated feeling rushed by timers.
      But that's part of the reason why I made this video. It was just to show that it isn't too hard to do this within the time limit with the strategy I use, even when I made tons of mistakes and careless decisions.

I tried to keep up with your video, was a bit slower and it took me three tries (On my first try, I took to long to kill the emitter and was missing about 5 seconds at the end (nullifier was built, but not charged), and the second try ended abruptly when a spore hit my relays and I realized it too late), but it's finally done, after not playing for 5 months.

    Wouldn't putting your third command node on the bottom right rock speed the mission up? It doesn't interfere with your north economy, provides an additional target for spores, splitting the intensity in two, and can provide fire support for the d-day part of the level.

    • @TheDrexxus
      @TheDrexxus  Před 6 lety +1

      Depends how you look at it. 2 empowered berthas are definitely better than one, however the point of this video was just to show an easy way to do the mission without having to constantly pause and manage both bases at once and all that other stuff. It's just showing an easy peasy way to do it.
      Folks struggle enough with this level without having to handle two bases on opposite ends of the map at the same time. It would make it faster to do with in-game time, but would take a lot longer with real world time I think and I think it's more complicated than just worrying about the one base really.
      But if you're the type of player who likes to pause and adjust two different bases and stuff like that, then yeah go for it. When I play, I usually don't pause at all unless I need to better adjust landing positions for blasters. I like things a bit faster. :)

      +StarACE112 For sure. Could've been done quicker and cleaner than what I did, but back when I made this video TONS of people struggled really hard to get this mission done, especially before the timer for the bonus win, so I made this video to show people an easy way. I linked it on steam and it seemed to help a lot of people out. :)
      I considered making more for other missions but the ones without time limits people seem to do just fine on their own after a while, so I just made vids for this one and the final mission since you can beat it super fast for an alternate game ending.

    Hmm. I see how this is done, I understand the mechanics that go into getting it to work, but am I clever enough to pull off the timing and precision with the Bertha shots to pull this off for myself?

    • @TheDrexxus
      @TheDrexxus  Před 6 lety

      You don't have to time it perfectly, the empowered bertha shoots pretty quick and if they land just before the hit or just after the hit, it'll still be alright, there's really only a small window between shots where landing would suck.
      But, you can also mass select your cannons and tell them to move somewhere else and once they move a few feet tell them to go back the other direction, over and over till timing is good.

      Upgraded birtha, making use of the anti-creeper, and just swarming with blasters can get the job done. :>
      You can pause a lot too to slow it down and make it easier to make the most of your energy supply and issue orders so you don't waste any time.

      Nope. Not needed in the slightest. I find dividing your attention like that just makes the game take longer, having to pause and play, pause and play, pause and play to do it effectively. Not worth the time or effort when you can just win easily with one island. :P

    • @TheDrexxus
      @TheDrexxus  Před 8 lety

      +Z3roCool007 The bertha should fire a couple of times before the cannons get there to thin out the creeper to make it easier for the cannons to deal with, then it should fire within a second or two of the cannons landing on the platform because it clears up all the creeper. As long as you have enough cannons and get that relay built asap to rearm them, you should be able to establish your beachhead just fine.

  • @Mrjake92100
    @Mrjake92100 Před 8 lety

    Can you give yourself more time, by blocking off some of the ore things with mines? I would think that might prevent a ship from landing there and mining, yes or no?

    • @TheDrexxus
      @TheDrexxus  Před 8 lety

      +Mrjake92100
      If you build a little mining majigger on an ore deposit, the ships will just land on top of them and destroy them. That is why I only built one on the left deposit because ships don't land there, the right deposit they do land on.
      You can, however, build sniper buildings and they will shoot down the ore ships but it takes a lot of shots. Personally, I don't do this because I feel like it isn't worth the time and energy investment for the extra time you gain from it. You can only stop a couple of these ships, they're still operating at about 80% capacity from the ones you can't do anything about because of their range from you. And it takes a lot of energy to build enough to kill the things, because they take a lot of hits, and rearm them constantly.
      Ultimately, I never do it. Just no point. Now if you wanted to be all hardcore about it, you could run two bases at the same time in the top left and bottom right corners of the maps, and then if you shot them down you might make a slightly bigger impact on time allowed, but that strategy involves a lot of pausing (for me at least) and is just generally annoying and not really needed.
      What I did in the video here is the easiest way. Just take over your little island, secure it, and mass cannons and use an empowered bertha to clear the path, then take advantage of the power zones on the mainland to throw up a giant shield and boom, you're done.

    • @Mrjake92100
      @Mrjake92100 Před 8 lety

      I failed twice this morning using your tactic, I just wasn't fast enough. And, I tried to placing the Ore mines down and I did notice the explosion, which kinda sucks. :/ But I'll go back to the game later and try again, and hopefully win and get to some better. non-timed missions. Thanks for replying, man, and so quickly.

    • @TheDrexxus
      @TheDrexxus  Před 8 lety

      +Mrjake92100 Haha it was actually kind of funny, I was just checking my e-mail before I went to work and saw a comment so I went to respond. Said you posted 2 minutes earlier, just lucky I guess.
      This tactic is to beat the level for the "secret ending" or whatever, even if you aren't fast enough for that, you could still just keep going and easily win the level the other way.
      The timer is slightly tight but it isn't "too" bad, just don't waste any time, never let your energy hit 100% full until you're ready to actually go. Just secure your island, then spend 100% of your energy on making more energy until you cover a good chunk of the island, then just mass cannons and go. Start building that bertha as soon as the island is secured so it'll be ready to fire by the time you can attack.
      I mean if you have to, can always pause the game and think. Make sure you're spending all your energy and so on. The most efficient way to get energy is to keep your energy pool kind of half full or just slightly negative. If you go too far negative it takes longer to build energy so you get less over time, but if you don't spend enough you're wasting all that energy when you're capped. So keeping it in the middle or just slightly negative is the best way to go about it. But once you start building the cannons you can just throw them all down at once, doesn't matter that they'll build a little slower because getting them up sooner individually doesn't change anything.
      Just secure your island as fast as possible. If you waste too much time killing that emitter you aren't going to make it. After it's dead, just keep energy very slightly negative. Those two things will buy you a lot of time to actually win.
      You can compare the completion % of the core thing with the video to get your timing down. In the video, the core was at about 22-23% when I started dedicating 100% of my energy to building reactors. Looks like all my cannons were built and on their way by 50% as well as the bertha being up and running at that point. Using those two time markers might help you get it sorted with your pacing.
      I actually made tons of sloppy mistakes when I recorded this, it could be done much, much faster but I was aiming for a kind of imperfect display that is a little sloppy and has some mistakes and inefficiencies just to show anyone can do it, you don't have to be perfect.
      I haven't played the game in over a year at this point, but it was fun. I'm looking forward to the dude's new game that hopefully will come out before too long.
      But just keep trying, you'll get it pretty quick I think. The method works, just practice it a bit, refine it, you'll get faster and faster with it.

    • @user-jm8sy5ox2j
      @user-jm8sy5ox2j Před 7 lety

      you can stop the 2 ore ships near the island easily, it slows it down by maybe 20% but you need a large number of snipers to destroy the ship

    • @1111iceblock1111
      @1111iceblock1111 Před 7 lety

      One thing I tried was getting rid of the creeper generator in the top left as fast as possible and placing a sniper in there allows you to target 3 of the ships, However at most I could normally destroy 2 as the one at west would only be in range for a few moments.

  • @psychepeteschannel5500

    And this is not even the fastest possible way. Since you can pause, its possible to manage the second base too. I actually did it that way and juggled the third command center on the tiny island right of NW base. But this is much better, double NW CC. But its still even faster theoretically, if you do this strategy, refine it and use the 3rd for the bottom base. This will not help that much, but you can carry more AC, build a second bertha there, guppies for energy boost or just build part of the units. If you pause enough, you can play it perfectly, there is no disadvantage to having the bottom base too.

    • @TheDrexxus
      @TheDrexxus  Před 3 lety

      I made this video not long after the game came out. At the time, huge portions of the playerbase was having issues doing this level.
      The ideas of constant pausing and unpausing and managing additional bases and all of that was floated and suggested by some, by most players didn't want to play the game in a stop-motion sort of way or have to constantly divide their attention between two bases.
      The level was very intimidating for people to do.
      I made this as a rather sloppy method of just getting the job done to show that you can beat it, even the first time limit before the second one even starts, even if you play sloppy just by brute forcing your way through it.
      The "disadvantage" of using multiple bases is that it was distracting and annoying for most players. It was the most commonly suggested thing at the time, years ago, but they all hated having to do it haha. That was the whole point of this vid, to show it was not needed at all and could be done simple and easy.

      Im kind of surprised new people still buy and play this game, but it does make me happy that occasionally it hooks new folks because its such a great series.
