I will unapologetically do this, and screw the elite gamers who tell me to just git gud
I got to the last level (Skedar). I think it's the last? Are there further levels, like with Goldeneye? To my recollection, you had to unlock its last levels, I want to say by beating all the normal levels on Secret/00 Agent. But it's been a long time, and I've never actually done them.
Anyway, help! How do I beat the Skedar Hive Queen? (in my headcanon, they're just large insects). The son-of-a-bitch is covered in a shield that seems to never diminish. It looks like I can shoot the ornamental jawn behind him, but that's shielded too, and also doesn't seem to degrade. I don't think there's a whole lot more ammo you can get either, apart from destroying the crates.
Also, sad news, my old game file got deleted It's not the same as the game pak save file I've been using, so at least I don't have to start from the beginning. And granted, I haven't played on it or thought of it for almost two decades, but it's still sad to see it go. It had the custom characters I made and went through a decent amount of the challenges. I think I had most, if not all, of the levels unlocked.
It looks like I can't create new game files on the game pak itself. Quite odd. It's possible that the save file is still in there somewhere, and the game just won't access it, but I'm skeptical of recovery.
Oh well. The player challenges are kind of fun, so maybe I'll play through them until another game captures my attention.
