Learn how to unlock the 'I Need A Towel' achievement in Duke Nukem Forever. This guide details the requirements and offers tips for obtaining this specific in-game reward.
Walkthrough
- 1Start the level by moving toward the webbed corpse. Melee it to get a Shotgun, Laser Trip Mine, and Pipe Bomb.
- 2Enter the next room. You'll find two sets of Wall Boobs and five webbed corpses containing various items like Beer, Pistols, Laser Trip Mines, Pipe Bombs, and a Ripper.
- 3Watch out for claw arms on the left and puff bombs on the right. Shoot puff bombs to detonate them. Evade claw arms by staying close to the pit.
- 4The Ripper is recommended for most enemies in this level.
- 5Prepare for an Octabrain in the next room. Use Pipe Bombs or the Ripper. Restock ammo in the previous room if needed.
- 6After dropping down, you'll face two more Octabrains. Use Pipe Bombs or the Ripper.
- 7Jump up and continue up a winding path. Melee a webbed corpse for an AT Laser, Shotgun, and Pipe Bomb. The AT Laser is good against Octabrains.
- 8Checkpoint. You'll encounter dormant Octabrains. You can go around them via a tricky path or through the middle, navigating platforms and a tentacle. Taking the tentacle path downwards leads to an AT Captain Laser.
- 9Through the door, you'll find more dormant Octabrains, the Bug Ball, and an explosives cache.
- 10Checkpoint. As you push the bug, an Octabrain will break out. Use your Pipe Bombs.
- 11Proceed slowly, limiting engagement with Octabrains. Use Pipe Bombs as your main weapon.
- 12As you push the Bug Ball, Octabrains will attack. Defeat them and continue. Three Octabrains spawn when you follow the bug down a ledge.
- 13NOTES: You can force Octabrain spawns from the ledge for a safer fight. Use the walkway to evade and return to the cache for Pipe Bombs.
- 14After defeating the Octabrains, push the Bug Ball to the claw to feed the door.
- 15Checkpoint. To your right is a webbed corpse with an RPG Launcher, Ripper, and Pipe Bomb. Attack puff bombs to your left first. The RPG Launcher is not recommended.
- 16Use jump pads to continue and open the next door, which has spotlight eyes and claw arms. Shooting the eyes blinds the claws.
Tips
- I Need A Towel (+10G / Bronze): Get hit by 10 Pregnator bombs. Do this on a lower difficulty or against a single Pregnator. It will likely come naturally.
- To easily trap the first Octabrain in the puzzle room, set up 3-4 Laser Trip Mines in front of it.
- When facing multiple Octabrains, use Pipe Bombs and the environment to your advantage.
