Stuck on Demolition Master

I'm making this thread specifically for my problem in demolition master but I figure it'll be more useful if we extend it to include any and all demolition masters that people need help with.

I'm personally running into a problem on one of the DMs in Eos. I don't know how to win the 1 where you get your hammer, 5 nano rifle shots, and 2 thermaboric rockets. I came close (at least I thought I did) but it seems like if there's a single piece of the building standing you don't win. Anyone know the trick?

I'm stuck on this same DM, Ive found the most ammo-saving method (in my opinion) is to quickly run up each level and whack out the 4 breakable center pillars, eventually the entire inside of the building will drop out, and you've wasted no ammo. I snagged an ammo cache to get 25 rounds, and attempted to shoot out 2 of the sides with the rockets, but this is where I pretty much get stuck, blow all 25 rounds trying to clean up a bit, and then just spend the last minute or so standing around going "what now"

Hopefully someone can help more!

Run inside and grab the ammo from the lower crate. Run back outside to the edge of the out of bounds area and aim the mega rocket at two of the three main supports for the uppermost circular section. If it doesn't fall on top of the building after the two shots, switch to the rifle and strategically take out beams so that the circular section falls on top of the rest of the building. Use the rifle to target the outer skeleton to finish it off. I completed it on 1:04.

That's similar to what I tried. I ran up to the top of the building and started shooting at the pillars supporting the ring, which takes down most of the building if it falls. Unfortunetly I could never take out enough to complete it. It's nice to know I was on the right track though.

EDIT: Just beat it a little while ago actually. What I did was I went inside the building and got the crate of ammo, then I went back outside and fired one of the rockets at what appeared to be a major frame in the center of the building near the top. I then ran to the other side and fired the other rocket. One of the halves of the ring up top got stuck on a pillar so I had to shoot it down with the rifle. After it fell the building when into critical and I manged to beat it with a time of 1:02.

To anyone who might be wondering, I used the same approach this time as all the other times I tried and failed this challenge. It seems to have been a game of chance; I just needed to keep trying till I eventually got lucky and things fell in the right place. I should probably also point out that even though the building went critical this time when it failed to do so all the others, I didn't really notice any difference in the damage I caused to the building. There were still pieces of it hanging everywhere, so you don't need to completely obliterate the building.

I could really use some help on completing one of the Oasis demolition masters...the one where you're given 8 explosive barrels (green ones) and the target building is across a gap. I understand you're meant to hit the barrels across but they always seem to just roll down the hill in front of me or fly off in stupid directions!

Help please

I'll try the 'Undestructable Building' tomorrow, hopefully that'll help (and work)... will only leave 4 more for me to get the trophies (and then I can get the final two propaganda and restart the game for the Guerilla Actions)...

As for answering questions asked in this thread:

Hey, I've been caught onthis one specific demo master where you have a shit load of tanks and 10 remote charges , there is a building at the bottom of this big hill with two tubes leading straight to it, now i've been at this for about 2 horus now hoping that pure luck would help me out but no go. anyone care to share their strategy?

What you need to do first of all is get good with aiming the Remote Charges, because you need to throw three Remote Charges on three different barrles. Then pick each one up and throw it down the left tube. Try to make it go on the center of the tube, so it doens't jump back out or get stuck part way.

Then when ALL three have reached the bottom (you can throw another one or two without attaching charges if you like, for good measure, though don't wait for them to reach their destination, just the first three) detonate the charge. Now attach three more and throw them down the right tube (one on the left tube would be good as well). Now this is slightly about luck, as to whether or not the barrels miraculously go inside the building or not, if they do, when you detonate it, it should make the building go critical with plenty of time to spare.

Hopefully, I'm not too late, but what you need to do is run at each barrel (Starting from the left most one) and hit R1 (or the right bumper, if your on the XBOX360), with the Sledgehammer. This will catapult it across the gap onto the building. I've heard that this can be done with one barrel, so really you have plenty there to beat the Pro time of 15 seconds. Just remember, DO NOT SPRINT, and make sure you hit it at an angle (test a few times, and you'll realise what angle you need to run them at). I think I got this one in about 8 or so seconds.

Hope it helps the two guests above. If it does, please do post to let us know, and do try and register

That may be the one the moderator was talking about. I guess it just depends on what your control configuration is.

I definitely think that challenge involves the most luck out of all of them, and the baseball style swing could save you some time. I think I could get 4 or so off in time to beat the deadline, and they were by no means consistent or on target. Get to close and they dribble into the ditch. Get too far away and they just don't go far enough.

And it's good to be here...seems like a nice forum.

Help please

I used the left trigger (360) myself: the vertical slam. Get the right distance away and it'll shoot the barrel right across. This is more luck than anything. One good shot will take the whole thing down.

What About the other Oasis one, with the three pistol shots and one blue barrel, I can't seem to find the right place to put it. Any help?
