Mission 6 - Sand in Your Eye
« on: March 30, 2017, 08:11 AM »
Credit to c0ol and Wyvern for parts of this one:

Turn 1: Select Worm twice, then rope fling to activate the mine, killing the left worm. A good method here is getting your rope to a reasonable length early on, coming down a bit slowly, then just using right arrow on the fling. It's also not a major loss to use two ropes and not risk the fling.

From there, skipwalk right and look at the shading on the pyramid slab the enemy worm is standing on; you can zook just under it to get both worms piled. Your worm should be standing a little above the enemy worm. If your worm lands left, and not in the zook hole, it seems a bit more likely the upper right worm will nade/zook you.

Turn 2: If the enemy worm naded or zooked you: kill the pile by extending rope, and dropping a 3 sec nade a little to the left of your attachment point. Now to rope knock the remaining worm, start to bring the rope in right after 2 secs of retreat (and nade fuse time) are left. It's important to remember you can knock once retreat time is over, so you have to release right before your nade explodes.

If the enemy worm walked right instead, which seldom happens, you may have to rope and kill this worm, possibly with flamethrower. Then the following turn you'll need to kill the pile.

Turn 3: The most reliable method by far is laying a 3 second nade, with your eyes on the fuse. Keep your rope still, then knock the last worm into the water, releasing right before it gets to 0.

Possible Improvements: There may be a way to fine tune the position your worm lands in at the end of turn 1, so the next worm never uses shotgun.

Nice strategy.  It looks like turn 3 will take a bit of practice.

The knock in turn 1 takes a little practice, but turn 3 is actually not too hard if you keep your eyes glued to the fuse of the nade.

Yes, the grenade.
