Defeating Coldcut

Before shattering Mister Freeze, you need to go through his...special cousin shall we say? Coldcut is a gigantic, rather large blue ice man who guards the "gizmo" (as he calls it) which helps Nora (Mister Freeze's wife) become reanimated and cured of whatever disease she has in the first place. No brains and all muscle as the big guys in games generally are, this guy can be a piece of cake or as hard as a rock, depending on how you approach him. Now if you are going through the whole game as a group then this should be easy enough for you, but if you're like me and tend to brave things out on your own and need some help, well here it is.

Coldcut isn't the brightest tool in the shed we've established thus far, he's a guard not a scientist. He enjoys eating and having a healthy stomach. To defeat him however does not require a lot of brains but is a little difficult. Going straight in for the attack is just not going to work. So for now just dodge and avoid his attacks. After a few attempts at crushing you with his gorilla like fists, Coldcut gets a bit peckish and goes to one of the many vending machines to stuff his face. Take advantage of this with a few ranged attacks and then continue dodging his gorilla like attacks until he gets a tummy ache. Once Coldcut is in his stunned state of illness, go and attack him now. Repeat this a few times and he'll melt in the palm of your hands.

And yes your health does go down continuously in this part of the mission as it is raining inside a giant freezer...so be quick about it.

Defeating Mister Freeze

After helping Mister Freeze steal a bunch of diamonds to save his wife, you eventually have to turn on him. Not sure if you kill his wife or just prevent him from curing her, but either way he's not too happy about your 'treachery' against him. Mister Freeze is quite a difficult opponent if you are on your own and it doesn't help if you're the same level as the mission or lower.

So you start exchanging fists with the ice man and he then he calls his goons and magically after they're all gone (from you pounding them) he has all his health back. "Damn it, I knew I missed out on something!" you say...? Well threat no more, here's The V's help guide to shattering some ice cubes and smearing some frosting on a cake.

Smack Mister Freeze around a bit and then when he calls his goons, make sure you kick the fat ones butt first! When Freeze calls his goons to come attack you, one of them is Freeze's Medic Man. He's really called a freeze regenerator or something similar, you cant miss him, he's the fattest goon there. Attack him first and stop him from getting to the cylindrical device which is next to an icy circle thingy that Mister Freeze is now standing on. That's what heals the ice man so make sure he doesn't get the chance. After killing the fat guy see to it that the other two don't kill you before you kill them, so knock em dead!

After a few repeats of this (about three if you're good) Mister Freeze will eventually fall down defeated and you collect the diamonds off of him. So in defeating Mr Freeze you should focus on a lot of ranged attacks and only go in for face to face combat when you have the upper hand or advantage. A lot of stun attacks help. Make sure you have plenty of sodas on you, there are health barrels around but you never know when you'll need them. Sometimes a soda is just easier to get to.

Missions Too Hard

A lot of people have been complaining lately about the fact that the missions have too lower levels recommended for the actual difficulty of the mission itself. Obviously if you are Level 5 and you attempt a Level 10 mission you will have a lot of difficulty even if you are a skilled player. The level indicated underneath the mission title may not actually indicate the level YOU should be to attempt it, but could indicate the level that the MISSION is. For example a Level 12 mission will be hard for a Level 12 character, medium for a Level 15 and rather easy for a Level 18 character and of course piece of cake for a Level 30 character. Also if you haven't noticed by now the missions recommended levels turn different colours. Orange wont do you any good, too hard. But blue on the other hand is slightly okay as this would make the mission medium difficulty. And last but not least we have green which means go forth and kick some butt because it'll be easy enough to go for! (excluding bounties)

So instead of at the beginning of the game at the start menu like most games where you get to choose the difficulty (Easy, Medium, Hard, Hell) it's your level at which you choose to attempt a mission which makes it harder or easier in the difficulty settings of the game. This may not be true but a theory I have on the whole subject.

To deal with this just level up higher than the indicated mission level and then attempt the mission, it will make the game so much easier for you, and will also allow you to eliminate lower level opponents attempting the mission as well (applies only in PVP worlds).

Any comments or questions or even your own theories are welcome.
