Yet Another OMD2 - Nightmare Playtho ...
Play Llist @ YouTube
Here is my Nightmare guide for Orcs Must Die 2. Playing Sorceress, playing solo and using a GamePad.. so accurate headshots are out! Basically as I like to use the GamePad and there is no argument that it is less accurate when shooting as well as less officiant with switching spells that I think in some cases this leads to different and more efficient trap setups than many of the videos I see about, mainly as I can not reply on headshots.
I am not really a high score chaser and Check out Wyatan or JuiceBags and some others for them.. I think there is zero chance of finding better strats than those freaks!!
It is worth noting that most of my setups are modifications to fryedegg's and Nananea's setups. Also I am not a high score junky and tend to go for traps rather than spells.

Orcs Must Die 2 - Nightmare
So I made it though the mine cart levels and final back in the nice fortresses..
I think Hidden Gulch was by far the hardest of the levels for me... Though in Precipice I tried using the rocket launcher and it just owns flying units so i think If i had used that in hidden gulch it would have been a lot easier.
Also.. wtf.. stone staff.. yeah.. that weapon rocks.
Anyway.. on to the next bunch of levels!!
looks liek this might be teh end of this.. as I just can not beat Servant Halls. Dose anyone have any sugestions? I just get tottaly over run on wave 2.. I have tried Narn\s setup.. but no luck, I have tried the stone staff to deal with Gnolls, I just can not seam to make any progress on this one... any ideas?
Still can not get past the next level in nightmare.. so I have instead been working though warmage on all the other levels. I found Stairs of Doom really hard and none of the guides helped me at all, as I just do not have the skills to guard both sides. Then I remembered a way to block the way so all the mobs run up one staircase.... I can not remember where i got it from but it was from a score video using a voidewall, spider + vent into air, push to other side of room then spring trap into void wall ...
Anyway. After taking the wall off from that video I was finally able to 5 skull it and with ease.. as it was so different to all the other vids I have seen I thought I would do it as a warmage just for fun

Finaly got past Servant Enterence!! This was very hard for me and I tried so many setups but just couldn't get past wave 2 or 3 untill I switched to void walls, then I couldn't make the par time... but I finaly got it working and i think this is a pretty robust method, you just have to chace the mobs a bit at a few points to save on time!!
Seams I can no longer edit my 1st post :(
This one was really easy.. but have a LOT of trouble with the next one... :(

I found this approach highly interesting, I like how you end up throwing so much stuff into the void wall with spike walls. I don't think you were getting your money's worth from the boom barrel dispensers, though.
Personally, I found that the key to getting under par time on this map was building a second kill box fairly close to the southern entrance, once I had a substantial cash surplus and the primary kill box was operating effectively. The time the monsters take wandering up the hall adds up over 12 waves.
Thanks! Any kudos has to go to Juicebags though.... I took the idea from his Endless Video...
I agree on the barrels. I was just madly trying to speed it up a little. I looked for other options for the boom barrel slot, it just happened that when I passed the level I was trying barrels. I think the best option would be flame traps that can also be placed on walls. That way you could plaster the entrance as well as the hallway. Is it more is there a shortage of cool floor traps? Another good option is barrels things on the walls of the main entrance, these barrels will not explode on dispensing and you can blow them form the top or set them to auto explode and this position kills tons of mobs allowing you to fight in the corridor more.
1st set of vids is up!! Edited the 1st post. i was pretty shocked that I could get these to work. The 1st bunch of levels seamed very easy.. though I had the benefit of using proven setups. Still i have tried to use some different tweaks. All in all this is an encouraging start... I hope I will be able to keep going!
