Skulk Elevator

<div class="IPBDescription">Or how to get gorges up the ceiling...</div> Just found this not long ago and wondered if any of you knew it (too lazy to search <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> )


What you need: 1. A skulk. (Lerks could work too, but i've never tried it)
2. A Gorge/Fade/Onos
3. A place inaccessible for the Gorge/Fade/Onos (Like some vents holes)



How to do it: Get the Gorge/Fade/Onos to jump on the Skulk, then continue jumping while the Skulk climb the wall up to the area you want to go. If done correctly, the gorge/fade/onos should land on a slightly higher skulk and get up the "hole" in a few moments.

PS: When you look at it, it's just an enhanced version of the "i crouch and you jump on me" marine trick <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Yes, it works with lerks too. You have to watch your energy though.

    lol were you living in a cave or something?

    I call it a skulk lift, normally the word 'boost' from a gorge is the indication for that trick

    Also, fades can easily get into vents on their own with the new blink. (Assuming the fade is not a newbie who hasn't gotten the hang out if yet.)

    Mmmm, misslecommand. Nothing was funner than helping the gorge up a wall to cap res, only to move slightly left or right thus sending the poor fatty plummeting hundreds of feet to its death <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    several of us have taken to calling the skulkevator
    ps its probably been around ever since skulks could climb walls

    Wow, a known but almost never used trick! WONDERFUL!!!! <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif'><!--endemo-->

    well you need a cooperative team (actually, just a player) to do this, and usually:
    cooperative = competent = early evolve != skulkevator

    My clan has acctually had an entire practice devoted to this...it was fairly insane to say the least. We managed to snake a gorge up the wall onto the catwalk in via on ns_nothing...took us 1/2 an hour to get it down perfectly, with 2 skulks and a lerk (and the gorge).

    Of course thats not really worth it, when you can have a skulk just climb to the top and evolve. Its best use it to move gorges and onoses into vents.

    On sort of a sidenote, doesnt it annoy you when you use a movement or get redeemed as a gorge to powersilo and you cant jump the little ledge into the center of the room...sure pisses me off to the max.

    Cool. Onoses in vents....man, I'd love to see that happen at the marine start in ns_caged.

    Actually, I see it used all the time.

    Put onos on top of powersilo...scares the crap outta HA when they think the hive is clear and an onos jumps down and starts goring them.

    Yeah, the vent still has to be large enough to fit them. Most vents aren't that big.

    lerk elevators work, me and a team mate did it in viaduct hive, he boosted me all the way to the cat walk up the top

    Sounds like an interesting way to hide a large alien in the cieling in order to make the world's scariest ambush....I mean, seriously! Imagine just walking through a hallway into a high-cielinged room and all the sudden an <i>ONOS</i> falls from out of no-where...combined with silence and thus no noise from fall damage you could do some really cruel stuff...no-one checks the cielings for onii.

    Generally up high is the best place to gestate, if there's room. And you've not lived till you've seen

    "OMG ITS RAINING ONOS!!! F4 F4!!!"
  • Angry_CheeseAngry_Cheese Join Date: 2003-05-06 Member: 16110Members
    Haha...its sweet...the best would be to have an onos eat a heavy in midair though...like right before it hits the ground.

    actually I get upset when I redeem to powersilo and run into the water. Redeem happens while your running away or moving and after redeeming it doesn't stop you. Therefore i often end up being carried over the ledge....then of course i just redeemd so I can't again <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
