Unstoppable: Ice Forest

I finally picked up Unstoppable: Ice Forest a couple days ago, by playing a new character with my improved skill ability of having played 3 characters to 40-50.

What I did was start a new bio-engineer character and ran him through Hall of Heroes (world 1) - I skipped optional areas and if a door opened I didn't bother sticking around to finish off all the foes. This was to keep the character level low. Thus, I get to play Ice Forest at a low level as well. Ice forest took this particular bio-e from Level 7 to Level 18 at the end.

When a low character plays, you never see ballistic immune trolls or super missile swarms, nor do you get 4 trolls in one hallway. So the low level character going through Ice Forest only had to deal with dark elf bosses and at most, ballistic immune polarities that could be taken out with a laser rifle (basically the KLOBB rifle when it became available). The worst of it was probably one of those platforms where there would be a hammer troll, assault troll, and assorted dark elves and goblins, but it wasn't too bad to just keep them all at range, build up combo meter with air juggles on the trash, and just bio-e healing to correct any status effects or damage.

HOD's jumping platforms went down easily with a slug rifle, laser takes too long against those platforms. The last fight was just a series of dash attacks/finisher and roll away, zap him with the laser to keep him rolling and not shooting. His defeat came in short order.

Anyways, it took a while due to the length of Ice Forest, but it worked.
