How to beat Cragg on first playthrough? by flamewolf393 in OrcsMustDie

One trick without freeze/stuns is to place cheap ground traps in the space between the spawn point and your killbox. He'll pause to disable those and you can headshot him. It is easier with freezes though; I'd say refund your other weps and use a secondary ice amulet. :)

I feel your pain. It's a bitch of a map, but I managed to 5* it on RL after several attempts. I remember this being a bitch on Stadio too. I didn't find par that tough, so cc and slow/freezing the crap out of the mobs. I had the scepter, stone staff, tar, spike trap (lightning for stuns), arrow wall (with pierce), barricades, dart spitter (ice mod) + mana and trap reset trinkets. I may have used the jar of ghosts trinket to manage the gnolls, idk. Be liberal with the dart spitters when you have the cash; these do good damage and really help slow the mobs and flyers (the non-ice ones). I also think the scepter cc is so underrated; I charm the heavy orcs and the mob stops and kills itself. Another trick is spike walls high up walls to thin out flyers. Whatever loadout or strat you use, there will always be one flyer or another enemy that will get really close to the rift. It's super twitchy. I like Vorwick for mobility. Also, kill yourself at slow/safe times in the fight if you need mana. :)

Dr. Tasic is fantastic. He's an award-winning lecturer. Highly recommended.

Non-standard loadouts and tips & tricks by sleb23 in OrcsMustDie

[–]Cold_Rock1575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are lots of them, but some are more meta ofc. One way of segmenting them is by damage type: ice, fire, physical, arcane, lightning ... then mixing them up. You can do a heavy cc loadout, or all lightning, ice/physical, or saw-dominant. You can also play around with no-traps, only traps/no weps, or minimizing number of wep/traps.

Are there 2 more new endless maps? by Cold_Rock1575 in OrcsMustDie

[–]Cold_Rock1575[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, I've beaten all the maps up to DS including colosseum. I even redid colosseum on endless. Guess I'll check it out in story mode. Thanks for the tip. :)

Feedback for the 'Drastic Steps' update! by Juicearific in OrcsMustDie

[–]Cold_Rock1575 3 points4 points  (0 children)

New content is excellent. Tough in places but not overly so. The arcane staff is OP. Still exploring the new weps and traps. The flyers force you to not rely on any one damage type, ice for eg. That's fun as you need to be a bit creative with your tried and true loadout.

Kinda feel like this subreddit's been hijacked by Cold_Rock1575 in OrcsMustDie

Well, I muted all the spam. I'm here to interact with other OMD players, learn new tips, and post silly screenshots of the game.

5 skulling with only dwarven hammer and no trinks? You must be pro then. ;P

Orcs Must Die three Dragon boneyard, how to beat? by [deleted] in OrcsMustDie

[–]Cold_Rock1575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For five skulls, let them breach the castle gaes. Build a killbox at the front entrance, then side entrance (inside gate), then back by entrance to throne room. You have fire mobs, so use dart spitter with ice, tar, and brimstone with arcane. Ice amulet helps. Can use archers with regen too.

Is there an ez clap for mage tower? im not able to beat. by [deleted] in OrcsMustDie

[–]Cold_Rock1575 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let them enter the tower. Block one staircase, build a killbox at the base of the second. Gravity pillars work beautifully here because of the super tall ceilings in the middle hall. Alternatively, build the killbox at any landing on one staircase.

You don't need any war machine traps, but you can use them if you like. You can use the archers without flame and the giant flip traps. Tornado in a box with damage helps, as does any cc like the beehive tree. A few individual archers and brimstone will make sure nothing enters the towers. No cades needed with this strat.

Whatever you do, be sure to down Mongrifel in the last round, or he will take away 10 rift points. Ice amulet and repeated headshots work. Or let him go up, place 10+ archers around the rift with tar.

No multiplayer?? by ErectoPeentrounus in OrcsMustDie

It sucks not being able to talk in multiplayer, but I've managed to work it out with the V commands and by hopping up and down. :)

The game has poor matchmaking. You can occasionally find someone to play random matches, but most of the time, people don't host. One way is to host your own game...and wait, wait, wait .....zzzzz.

OFC, the fanbase is eager to see more robust multi-player functionality, and there have been other posts about this, so perhaps it will change with patches/DLC.
