hi, im new, and i am trying to beat the factory. i need help BAD. usually die over at the warehouse, once i was close enough to the factory foreman, though did earthquake and lost... i need help beating it! I WANT MY SOS CARDS!!!!!!!!!!
Are you wanting help to do a solo run, or just need help getting your merits?
If you want to solo, then make sure you are doing short runs (see my thread about doing short factory runs), that will help you get the merits but also take a path that you can access all of the restock and toonup barrels, if you know where they are.
If you need a guide on doing a solo run, then follow this (assuming you have lure, sound and all gags are maxed):
Side elevator and both sets of cogs in the pipe room: Fog.
Warehouse, go into the door (that leads to the steps where the cogs are), but enter at the very far left. This will put the level 5 cog on your right, which is where you want it. Then goggles, hose level 5 and both level 4's. Cream pie the 6.
East and West silos: Engage one of the 6's (so it'll be on your right). Magnet, cream pie 6 on right. Storm 7. Cream pie 6.
Center silo: Goggles. Kill the cog on far right (use cream pie if it's a 6, birthday cake if it's the 9). Then going from left to right, use Birthday cake to kill the cogs.
I've never had to bail out to restart from following that plan.
If you just want to get merits, then just go hang out at the side elevator (in nutty river district) and you'll find toons going there frequently. If someone runs up and hops on by themselves, try to hop on saying "Which way?", that will tell the other person that you will follow them on the run so they know you just want to complete a factory and not hijack it. If they say "Follow me", say "Yes" and "Which way?".
