Simply put: it's possible and entirely reasonable to use the easiest mode in the game to beat the Slayer Gates, get Empyrean Keys and unlock the Unmaykr. We found that dropping the game down to I'm Too Young To Die difficulty actually gave us a pretty decent chance at clearing the Gates on our first run, though.ĭifficulty does not affect progression, either, so if you drop it down to easy (then do the levels, unlock the Slayer Gates and continue) you can unlock the Unmaykr and use it in the rest of the game, on whatever difficulty you like. If you complete the game, get access to some powerful gear, upgrade your health, armour and ammo capacity, you'll have a much better chance at coming out victorious. As title states, I cannot equip the BFG, I am almost done with the game ( I assume ) have the BFG but I cant find it on the weapon circle.
In level 2, for example, when you first find the gate you are woefully unequipped to deal with the second wave of enemies that spawns – they're fast, powerful and high-damaging. Generally speaking, there are two ways to approach beating the Slayer Gates.įirst, you can choose to take them on as and when you find them, but this may be a fool's game.
