Beating SHODAN wrench-only. How?

MadTaco on 11/1/2011 at 09:03

OK, I'm at the very end of my wrench-only playthrough and just can't seem to bust SHODAN. I've only got one med hypo and two medkits on me. I'm using the ADaOB/SHUTP as my only two mods.

My enduranced is maxed along with an endurboost + power armor, but I just can't seem to do this. SHODAN is completely immune to the wrench. Any tips??

You need to hide behind SHODAN and just let her "clones" shoot her trying to shoot you.

Yep...that's how it has to be done. I REALLY screwed myself by being so low on medical supplies. Gonna load an earlier save. My YouTube series is almost done....just this part is holding me up. The Brain of the Many was interesting, to say the least.

Unless it's on Impossible, I doubt many will care.

It is. Let's see how many more care now. Just look at those views roll in, hot DOG!!

I knew you'd run into this little problem, that's one of the reasons I linked you to TNT's walkthrough. ;)
I've been watching, but I've fallen way behind because of time (I'm still on Episode 9. :P). It'll be interesting to see how this it turns out.

Thanks Enchanter, TNT's walkthrough really helped on the Brain of the Many. I'll be very sure to include my thanks later on. I've been forced to replay from an earlier save - I'll be facing SHODAN much better prepared this time.

Edit: I think one of the most frustrating parts of the game had to be hitting that nerve cluster that's just above the pool of water. That drove me absolutely nuts. It took about 20 minutes to nail it.

Glad to help. :) Getting through that part melee-only is quite the challenge, and being on Impossible just makes it worse.

It is a bit niggly; you have to hit it just right, and if you have the overhead swing OS upgrade it becomes even harder (at least, I was never able to hit it with an overhead).

I did it. I faced SHODAN again last night with a much better stock of medkits and took her down. I'll be uploading the final episodes to my YouTube channel soon. Thanks for the help.
