Glimpse of Stocking is a TimeSplitters Future Perfect Challenge. It works similarly to the original TimeSplitters Story levels, and serves as a sequel to Hit Me Baby One Morgue Time. Mister Underwood has to run through the Hotel to pick up a Gentleman's Magazine, and then return back up the final staircase to the portal.
Briefing[]
It's been conniptions and collywobbles all around since Mr Underwood misplaced some important 'artistic' documents. All is not lost though, by dual wielding his trusty pistols (that's double guns to us ordinary folk) it shouldn't take too long to recover his Victorian Gentleman's magazines and make a mad dash for the time portal.
Strategy[]
The easiest method of obtaining a Platinum on this level isn't to shoot the zombies in the head with the Kruger 9mm, but to gun whip them. The zombies that are on fire can be ignored. Most appear from behind so do not pose any major risk.
Once the door has opened in the big hall allowing exit from the hotel, as soon as you have picked up the Gentlemen's Magazine, run back, up the stairs and across the hall, dodging and shooting the Berserkers, through the halls, and straight ahead to the portal.
Here are some general tips to keep in mind:
- In story mode, if a zombie loses their head, they will immediately die regardless of how strong they are. In Glimpse of Stocking, all zombies have detachable heads, so any form of damaging contact with their heads will kill them instantly (this includes steam from the radiators).
- The zombies featured all have "Weakling" health ratings except for the autopsy zombies, who have "Low" health ratings. "Low" health rating enemies have approximately twice the health of "Weakling" enemies, though they are also weak.
- The Berserker Splitters have much higher health ratings than any of the zombies do. As a result, melee attacks are generally less effective than they are against the zombies. It is wisest to simply keep running and attempt to avoid engaging with the Splitters altogether.
- Because of their poor health ratings, many of the zombies on fire will die of their own accord only a few seconds after appearing. Keep in mind, however, that any enemy who is on fire will not flinch when hit.
Trivia[]
- Originally, the item had to be carried all the way back to the start. As such, requirements for gold are far more lenient, at five minutes and thirty seconds. Additionally, enemies did not have to be killed in order to progress.
- Butler, suit and chef zombies were originally absent.
- Viola was to be the player character for this challenge.
