3:27 if you stop and look at the otherside of redkey door gate you can see there's a pale woman in red dress, standing there menacingly. After you pick the key and go back to the gate, she's gone

Ashes's wendigo is definitely the deathclaw

Oh yes, this map's challenges, the ammo scarcity and the wendigos. I definitely learned a lot of things you need to do in Hard Reset with this map: the weapon-swapping techniques on the wendigos with a mixture of a few ammo rounds pistol, boltcaster, shotguns, and military rifle each; and definitely the knowledge of switching fire modes with the pistol and boltcaster. So at my skill level, I play on Arcade (Ultra-Violence equivalence), with the advantage of a few more resources and less damage taken (and for some reason by the devs' decisions, a few enemies less now in Hard Reset, which is different from the previous Ashes works in which Arcade and Apocalypse had the same number of enemies). Even then, I had a lot of problems with the wendigos in my first playthrough. I would say their high health is the biggest annoyance, because of the ammo scarcity and there's almost no room for many missed shots if you are going for 100% kills. The end of the map is fun though, it's very satisfying to use the crossbow with explosive bolts on the cannibal overseers.

9:30 - that switch resets the elevator on the wall, and you can jump on it couple times to raise the bright platform near the barrel , so access to the secret is way easier . i think thats one of the most advanced gzdoom tricks ive ever seen , and its amazing ,even thou totaly optional.

Secret Number 3 had lots of masks with horror references 😆

Cannibal Gladiator is somewhat less of a threat, as he often gets stuck on level geometry or in doorways.

So on secret number 2, in case you're having trouble with the jump Chozo does, you can jump on the weird platform thingies to raise another platform which makes a way easier jump.

THE MOMENT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR! That wendigo ambush fucked me up bad.

18:45 - Hillarious how you can just stand there in the doorway, and the Wendigos can't get in! Wendigo: "I'm the toughest, I'm the fastest, I'm angry! Oh no! A doorway! :("

The way I see it, engaging wendigos is an evolution from the crowbar tango we are used to perform with the cannibals. You have to set the rhythm and not let them set theirs, know when to give a step forward and the exact moment to step back and blast them in the face. It also helps when you manage to lure them into narrow and straight places like tunnels because that cripples their movement pattern at least a bit. Now, this may be unintentional from the devs part, but I feel like the wendigos are designed this way to prepare you for the big events up ahead if you know what I mean. On the other hand, on apocalypse no one would blame you if you chose not to engage them to save up on ammo. Finally, another note to add is that people shouldn't underestimate the pistol's hollow point rounds, they make more damage and are more useful than you'd think.

5:38 Man, how i love a new video playthrough about... about... Dusk ? Hell Yeah!

10:14 -54 HP & -36 Armor?! Damn, you were NOT kidding.,

40:46 - The Cannibal Overseer also used explosive bolts in the other installments of Ashes, but you couldn't pick up their bolts after you killed them. :) I always thought this was missing in the previous Ashes games, and you should be able to pick up and use their crossbow, and now you can! ;)

It is possible to crowbar the Wendigos to death too, especially if there is just a single one, doing the "bug dog boogie" (hit them, then retreat before their attack animation finishes). It's risky though! :)

Wendigos are scary af. They killed me in 3 or 4 hits with 100 health and 200 armor. I'm not 100% sure, but I think there are more wendigos on apocalypse than easier difficulties.

Those wendigos had me switch from Apocalypse to Survivor😅

Regarding wendigos' tankiness, it's really a matter of resources management and level design: first off, they're mostly optional - cool, stealth mechanics; given kills are tracked and 100% kills is a legit way to play, the game should give me enough resources to kill them all in a level; it's then a matter of world building, diegesis and overall feeling how bulky you want them to be (or really how fast, how risky to take on, in general how you want to tune the different approaches the player can use to interact with them, in case of DOOM TCs it's mostly numbers). Easy solution: place a bunch of ammo and meds right after any combat encounter with them, so if you skip them you gain nothing and you lose nothing but if you engage you get something back, maybe even something more if you are really good or really careful. This does not mean harder solutions (like remaking some maps, not entirely but in part) could not benefit the overall experience more, however I agree fidgeting with numbers is generally a very time and energy efficient solution.

easy to run yourself out of ammo killing Wendys, especially on apocalypse. gotta whack em
