Left 1 Alive: The Sugar Mill

[13th Nightmare]

Following on from when I went through Dark Carnival's 1st map: the Highway, without any bots or Special Infected or Mobs so it was just me against the Infected. I began to have this itch that needed scratching: What would happen if I tried the same thing, but this time of the Hard Rain map, the Sugar Mill? The reason I wanted it to be the Sugar Mill is very simple: the Witches. I wanted to see if they would still be in play on that map once I typed in the following codes into the console:

map [mapname] realism
sv_cheats 1
director_no_bosses 1
director_no_mobs 1
director_no_specials 1
kick Ellis
kick Coach
kick Rochelle
kick Nick
The kick command wont work on the character you are, so dont try it.

So I loaded the map up and began to hear the faint cry of a Witch. But that wasn't enough, I needed to know that there was Witches in play on tihs map. And thankfullly, they were: Now I had a challenge on my hands. I had several failed attempts at going through this map. And this was the first succesful one I had done. The failures ranged between running out of ammo, getting incapacitated... or getting killed by a Witch after I disturb it. And even trying to cr0wn a Witch but getting killed by it instead. I also wanted to do it on Realism for the challenge that the Witches would present: one hit from them and your dead. So here is the entire run in full. I did have the voice loopback command on as well, but I didn't want to talk too much. That and I was busy trying to avoid shooting Witches by accident, killing Infected, planning my next move and being scared at the sametime.













The mad thing is that even though I have done this map against the Infected, I want to do it again. This time taking the Infected out of play and putting the Special Infected in play instead.

Wow, didn't know L4D2 could be scary, even in the slightest
Gratz on passing your test on a off note

I thought it was quite gd, loved the running commentary, more talking to yourself is needed

Use the any of the shotguns and aim from close range to the witches head, the auto-shotties work the best.
Stay with dual pistols or a machete, sword, sxe for normal infected.

You know after getting this game recently and playing through that level, I've got to say that you were lucky (and i'll explain how).

I played this on easy (just to get a feel for the game and to run through it once) and on that level the game decided to spawn 10, yes 10 different witches, 2 of which were a few feet apart (the 4th and 5th ones) so i had to pull them out of the way one at a time (much faster than me plucking up the courage to walk by them). I managed to avoid 2 though, would have been 3 but i accidentally pulled one when I shot her trying to kill normal infected (and I was a fair distance away fighting off a horde :/).
