Rise of the Triad: Dark War #21 "E3A7: Know Thine NME"

The moment we've all been waiting for... WHIR WHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIR!!!! Yup it's the NME. The hardest boss in the entire game.
The NME: The boss of Episode 3. And one of the most memorable bosses in the game. Not because it has any lines like say Darian, but it's place as one of the hardest and possibly most stressful boss battles in this game. It's very fast in fact it could just come out of no where and just annihilate you. It's homing missile is fast, powerful, and HEAT SEEKING!!! It sometimes shoots a slower homing disc that isn't too powerful, but could catch you off guard. At low health it begins to fire fireballs at, which really hurt and standing in front of the attack is a guaranteed death. Try to utilize cover and distance from it while you either go to heal or grab another missile weapon.

The NME is the toughest and most difficult boss to defeat in this game. I never had problems defeating John Darian, Sebastian ''Doyle'' Krist and even El Oscuro (who can be defeated but not in the conventional way) but this guy is an absolute nightmare given that it's fast, super tough, smart and super deadly (it is essentially a moving missile launcher) I've been playing this game since the mid 90's and even today in my 40's the NME is still an absolute metallic demon to destroy.

I've read somewhere that NME was originally planned to be the final boss, back when the game was still developed as Wolfenstein II, which explains its difficulty

[@Longliveevolution170]

I remember first playing this NME. It scared the shit out of me at first the way it came charging at me.

[@shareifnajmi1753]

I remember this little shit back when I was in elementary school, damn, almost cried tears of joy when I finally beat it's ass after more than 30 deaths............memories :'(

[@Kevin-jb2pv]

This video fills me with so much stress and dread

[@jeremyallen5974]

Damn, that heavy metal nuisance is no joke Even a Bunny Lord would think twice before picking a fight with it

[@Danlovar]

This boss had something that creeped me out when I was a kid.

[@EthanWolfCat]

A true boss. On hard difficulty, it's pretty much a Dark Souls like boss. Great job!

[@DerekBrony]

Encountered and Beaten Two, Yes TWO, NMEs when I was playing Samsara Reincarnation on the Doom (I was playing as 007)

[@greatallstar]

Oh hehe....I remember this boss first time I saw it I was like oh I can just use my firebomb on it I started to run back for distance and in like 3 seconds thing charges at me then fires a heat seeker then a disk right after. Then my reaction HOLY !%$^

[@MaxDuckwall]

I thought he was going to be easy. Then I exploded, hell even in the remake the NME is still a challenge.

[@greatallstar]

Well in the remake I beat him on my first try XD In the remake if you don't use the firebomb the he's hard.

[@MaxDuckwall]

Sunder Shadows You're right about that. Two full firebombs, if you manage to hit it's weakspot, makes the battle really easy. I believe I did that in my Remake playthrough. Though when I first fought him in said remake it did take a few tries.

[@greatallstar]

:p I'm curious though what do you think of the remake overall?

[@MaxDuckwall]

Sunder Shadows Excellent, but after I upgraded to an i7. My AMD CPU didn't like some levels that much and made it difficult to play them. The optimization wasn't that good and it held it back for awhile. Other than that, the gameplay, levels, and music were definitely an improvement over the original. I do miss the little things like the doggie paw when you use switches while in dog mode, gas rooms and finding a gas mask just to survive. But it does need more maps for, and more people playing multiplayer. Some single player maps would be nice too.

[@AJXTHEWALL]

Fucking angry R2D2

[@tangcheesum5418]

The good old days!!!

[@FrankTech]

I just got to this b*stard.. holy hell that was insane.. the NME is no joke

[@Zyprus]

Miss these old shooters

[@belandino]

Now there's ROTT: Ludicrous Edition!

[@Gimodon]

Uh, why the fuck does ROBOT have a tombstone lol.

[@Ikouy]

Or a Texas license plate.

[@henriqueasjunnior]

NME = New Machine Execution isn´t?

[@MaxDuckwall]

Nasty Metallic Enforcer actually

[@SoldierOfFate]

Me when I was 6: It's a knockoff R2D2, how bad can it be? **NME proceeds to kick my ass at least 50 times before I finally beat it**

[@stehno100]

meh, gj, try to destroy NME on hardest + superhard in extra options :-) this was pretty easy since 1 rocket dealt like 4HP bar dmg, on hardest 1 rocket = instadeath xD

[@Twenteeeee]

You can tell its bad if it has its own music

[@PJBearstein]

I don't see Nazis.
