Omikron Nomad Soul Problem

Christian IV · 04-27-2011, 07:26 AM

I am trying to complete the classic game Omikiron and made it a bit more than half way thru but have hit a very badly designed area and need help if anyone has managed to make it past this point....

it is in the factory where you have to place 8 bombs and then run across a train track to a final area. It is a timed run and no saves possible other than temp save points so you have to play the long fight sequence over and over to try to complete it and so far after four days I have not made it ..

.the train track you drop down to is supposed to have two hiding places or you get run over by the train. But...they are just not there....at least I have not found them. Anyone who has completed this section can you help out? thanks for this, it is a remarkable game...and deserves a look but....and i am hesitant to recommend it totally yet due this potentially fatal flaw in game play I have encountered. thanks for any help on this. So far, I have found you can not get past a gate in one direction, in the other direction there is an open area but you cant get into it over the threshold due to some invisible barrier....and trying only gets you squished.

There are only two walkthroughs I have been able to find and one of them happily describes the two hiding places but they are just not there.... and the other walkthrough has no detail on this area at all..so I suspect the writer had not done it. It is dangerous for such a major game to have such a serious problem in it...but hopefully there is a answer to this. Help much appreciated.

I figured it out with help from fellow game researchers..you go across the track after you drop down and to the right, and there is a small alcove along the wall with a small health pack in it. From there turn around and wait for the train to pass again.and run across to the left to another alcove with a door, and you are thru to a control room for the next steps. Remember you are still on the clock so move and work fast.

glad you got it sorted and thanks for dropping the answer in case anyone else needs it. it's amazing how often on the internet somebody asks a question, then says they got the answer but don't bother sharing it in case somebody else has the same question
