I haven't actually tried devouring, but I remember seeing people say a while ago that it works easier if you aren't pressed up against them, that it is better to have a little bit of space. Devour has a long range.

Aim at the nether regions for best accuracy. Works from a few meters away, must be one hell of a tongue length on that onos <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

Is it only me who wants the onos to be able to absorb the powers of what he eats and gain a jetpack/HA/Shotgun etc kirby fasion?

Yes. How can an onos use a jp with all that weight, or fit ha over his body?

<!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> maybe after devouring 6 jps; an onos can transform into a zeppelin...

Seriously; Ive never managed to do but; without jumping can you devour a jp which is flying at the ceiling... I heard that vertical range of devour is too much like infinite... Are there any tips for that?..

You have obviously never played any Kirby games....

If you give devour a crosshair of some kind, it's much easier to aim. In my experience it doesn't have "unlimited" vertical range, however the range seems to be almost the same as gore. You couldn't, say, devour jetpackers on top of your hive.

Necrosis

Though if boosted you can hoover marines out of some very odd places, which results in highly annoyed marines <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Alot of lag can also affect your ability to devour

If you excuse me, im taking that.



Yes aim with the tip of the horn. I always do that and always works for me.

lagger

Through extensive testing along this ability, my suggestion would be to position the marines feet/shins in focus of your screen. Ducking and other manuvers can be used to accomplish this. Looking down will also work as well.

devour is evil!! it can be annoying when someone **** it alot, but if they use it in times of distress its a good weapon <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

I usually put the tip of my tilted horn on their chest, that works most of the time for me. Never takes me more than 2 trys to devour a marine.

Crouching is wasting time. Learn the right Devour distance by stomping marines and looking down at them while standing 1-2 meters away. I don't recommend trying to devour moving marines , but it is possible to eat jetpackers if they fly right over your head.

And devour goes through func_illusionary of course. Very useful to eat marines standing on a catwalk above you.

Note : if you fail to devour a HA in one go , stomp him again and/or flee. Vanilla rines aren't worth devouring unless they have armor 2+ or shotguns/HMGs.
