Quake 4 Hints

What's the best way to fight iron maidens?

  • 1 of 4: They can be tough to take down since they fire rockets and can teleport around.
  • 2 of 4: Also, if you get too close to them, they can breathe a damaging gas right in your face.
  • 3 of 4: I found that using the lightning gun's continuous fire on the maidens while strafing if necessary to avoid their rockets and bad breath worked pretty well.
  • 4 of 4: Of course, if you're ever facing two of them by yourself, you'll probably want to use rockets and more frantic dodging.
