Nightmare mode?

[WarioN64]

How do you get to it?

[Trickle]

well first and foremost. its the ONLY way I play Quake, I refuse anything less. I will tell you this though, that water you fall in towards the 4th episode? try landing on something high.

Nightmare is less difficult than hard, as once a monster see you, and once you are in its shot range, he does not stop to fire, not moving anymore unless you move away... and it makes the fights particularly easy....
In hard, it is more complicated IMHO as the monsters will try to move closer to your position after dense shoots...
I personnally had less issues finishing the game in nightmare than in hard...

[Trickle]

shouldn't nightmare be the hardest?

[JPL]

It should, but it is not really the case IMHO.. but it is my own opinion

As long as I've been playing Quake, I JUST downloaded the 2 mission paks. Seeing this thread made me question if there's a secret Nightmare mode on the mission pak with the entranceways

The rogue pack? Yes, but you have to search a bit harder for it. There's 3 buttons to shoot, 2 are easy to find (just look up in some odd corners), the third can be tricky but try looking behind some teleports.

I've been playing Quake for a while and I mastered hard so I wanted harder so I heard about nightmare mode.

[eieio]

its pretty easy to find. if you still can't find it, use the youtube.

OK, here's demos that show how to find Nightmare Mode in both Rogue and ID1 (it's a LOT easier in Hipnotic, but I'll make one for it later on if you want).

Unzip these and pop id1nm into C:\Quake\ID1, then rognm into C:\Quake\Rogue. Run Quake, bring down the console, and type playdemo id1nm or playdemo rognm, depending on which game you're playing.

These are standard protocol 15 demos recorded in stock ID WinQuake.

Go through any portal of your choosing (easy, medium or hard). To get to Nightmare mode, go to the entrance for Episode 4. When you're in the pool of water, swim over to the wall closest to the staircase you walked up in the Episode 4 hallway. When you're flat against the wall, let sv_gravity do the work... it will pull you out of the water and on to a wooden beam. Walk along that beam to the other hallway opening and shoot the square with the tormented faces in it. When you go through that portal you are in nightmare mode.

And here's Hipnotic - it's a long time since I've actually played this mission pack so I had to refresh my memory.

The Armagon one is probably the trickiest, because the level is so large- but I remember that you have to walk into the 'medium' corridor, into that room with the crates to your right, there is a hidden doorway that requires you to jump on some crates to get to- which leads to an elevator over a slime pit.

Note that if you went into the easy gate- you would see this lift in the pit.

I always love finding the nightmare gate- a reward even in itself!

[MH]

I didn't find it hard to find at all. It was obvious that there was a lot to explore and look at in that map, and I'm always jumping on crates anyway just to see what's there.

Here's the super easy way... no need for teleporters, secrets, or floating swimming pools

Open up the console and type this:

skill 4; restart
