"Destroyer Diamond" : Clear Angel of Max Carnage on Nightmare! with "Untouchable Cross" (taking less than 50 damage overall)
"Daredevil Diamond" : Clear Angel of Overconfidence on Nightmare! with 80+% kills


These two diamonds can be obtained at the same time via dual challenge.
Anyway, I've tried it *hundreds* of times (so I couldn't record it.. To record this, I have to restart video recorder settings on each trials. Yuck)
And finally could manage to do it as I got energy shield on Hell 3.

Energy shield is an extremely awesome gear on this challenge,
as you only suffer 2 damage from hell knight (normally, 12) and 4 damage from baron of hell (normally, 20)
Revenants and mancubi would be less tougher too.

Even with energy shield, I suffered 43 damage overall;
To get Destroyer Diamond with no AoOC and no energy shield,
it requires skills, reflexes, and luck that lies on far beyond of humanity.

So, the strategy for Destroyer+Daredevil Diamond is:

1) If you find ENERGY SHIELD earlier, go for the challenge.
2) If not, this challenge is simply a torture.

Built for speed, I see? Interesting choice of traits, makes a lot of sense for this badges, though I would have thought DM would have been higher on your list. At what point did your failed attempts generally crap out on you?

[papilio]

Just RNG was simply the deadliest obstacle.

1. If you start, and see that so many monsters surrounding you, then just press "Q-Y". This is okay.

2. Even if you did everything perfect up to Hell 6, if you stumble into arachnotron cave in Hell 7,
and there is no inv globes/homing phase devices and stair is distant, there is no chance to win, so you'd better "Q-Y" and restart it.
Arachnotron caves were the main reason to restart.


DM does not help much here, as arachnotrons/commandos/revenants/mancubi/archviles were biggest problems,
and just knocking them down ASAP from out of their visions would be the best strategy.
