Rise of the Triad: Dark War Hints
El Oscuro
1 of 13: The first time you face El Oscuro, he's found in the level entitled "The Lair of El Oscuro".
2 of 13: You can try to keep shooting him.
3 of 13: But none of the shots will do anything.
4 of 13: In fact, don't shoot him at all.
5 of 13: Yes, you heard me. Don't shoot him.
6 of 13: He draws power from your shots.
7 of 13: If you don't shoot him, eventually he will run out of power.
8 of 13: And when he runs out of power, he'll scram!
9 of 13: So, just dodge all of the shots he sends at you (easier said than done!).
10 of 13: Watch out for the various enemies, and try not to back into fire walls!
11 of 13: When you dodge around for a few minutes, it will soon say "El Oscuro Flees!".
12 of 13: Now you can exit the level.
13 of 13: Proceed through the next level (Canyon Chase) and onto the last level, Into the Dark Nest.
