Your guide to the Rippa-Splitta mission in Dawn of War II. Learn recommended squad loadouts, enemy tactics, and how to defeat the Deff Dread and final boss.
Alright, let's get this Rippa-Splitta mission done! It's pretty straightforward, but there are a few things you'll want to keep in mind to make it a breeze. For your squad, definitely bring along the Dreadnought and Avitus – they'll make your life a lot easier. Crucially, make sure you've got some melta-bombs. Seriously, don't skip these; they're essential for dealing with vehicles and the boss, or they'll just tear you apart.
If you're looking for other options, Avitus in Terminator armor can be good, but you'll need to keep a close eye on him. A plasma cannon is also a decent pick. Cyrus is another solid choice, especially if he's kitted out with demo charges.
- 1You'll start facing a tank coming from the north. Hit it with a melta-bomb right away to take it out quickly.
- 2After dealing with the tank, head south towards the beacon. Once you reach it, pivot east towards the shrine.
- 3As you approach the shrine, get ready! A Deff Dread will burst out of the trees. Keep your distance and keep hitting it with melta-bombs while you retreat. This is the best way to take it down.
- 4Make sure you capture the shrine if you haven't already.
- 5Now, stick to the south side of the map and start sweeping your way across. This approach lets you pick off enemies methodically.
- 6Remember to send Cyrus ahead to either blow up buildings or hammer enemy positions with a bombardment or terminator missiles. The enemies here are dug in, so it'll be a tough fight, but this strategy helps clear them out.
- 7Slowly push into the enemy base. Eventually, you'll encounter the main boss.
- 8Honestly, this boss isn't too bad compared to others. Fight him much like you did the previous boss, and he should go down fairly quickly.
- 9With the boss defeated, the last major opposition is gone. You can now easily clear out the rest of the encampment to finish the mission.
- Melta-bombs are your best friend for taking down tough vehicles and the Deff Dread quickly.
- Keep Avitus safe if you bring him in Terminator armor, as he can be vulnerable.
- Cyrus's demo charges or special abilities can be very effective for clearing entrenched enemies and buildings.
- The mission is straightforward, but the entrenched enemy positions mean you need to advance carefully and methodically.
- Don't underestimate the Deff Dread; use hit-and-run tactics with melta-bombs to wear it down.
