After this crazy lucky run I thought it's about time to actually share a mortem instead of just lurking around. :)


After four consecutive tries that spawned doom guy in the midst of arachs, melting his face while trying to run for cover, this one actually spawned him a rather peaceful location with a Trigun just a couple of tiles away. "Thanks RNG, just what I didn't need".

But the level turned out to be a decent starting point as there was a Sergeant around and an acid pool was forcing all badness in the form of some Revenants, Mancubi and Archviles to come through a narrow tunnel, making it easy to dispose of them permanently, while farming shells whenever the Sergeant woke up from his nap.
The only surprise was some Cacodemons trying a flank attack by floating in above the lake of acid. But their efforts were in vein, some shrapnels reaped them from the skies, leaving their bodies to dissolve in the acid pool.

The next levels were almost boring, entering at max health and leaving them boosted again, a warehouse one, a lava everywhere with tiny paths betweens structures and a maze of rooms, with enough formers to stock up on shells.

Hell 6 was RNGs best try to get him killed - a welcome party of Archiviles was waving at doom guy the second he entered their domain. But doom guy didn't feel like being nice, used a phase and ambushed them from behind. However more and more of the pack was showing up, burning up most of his med packs and little Mr. Overconfident nervously started to run around in wider and wider circles using up his stock of two enviro suits and some more med kits which were running really low. A lucky find of two med packs - although it was a challenge grabbing them without the Viles destroying them first - let him regain some of his confidence, which was lost just some seconds later as a squadron of nightmare cacodemons started pouring from their western fort, heading east he found himself surrounded - anoter caco fort. After lots of playing door tricks, running around what was left of the room structures - the archviles had made a mess of it - he finally emerged victorious. Heading to the exit he stumbled over another "Thanks RNG, just what I didn't need" thing in the form of a GCB. "Well let's just stuff it in this prepared slot I got on my belt - it's useless anyway, ran out of those handy shell boxes ages ago". Clearing up the map he found two more med packs and regained some confidence "Well at least I will survive ten turns now after heading down the stairs. Hey RNG - BRING IT ON!".

To his surprise the next level was again home to those dreaded Viles. After spending a couple of turns to say "Hi" with his boom stick he realized..."Doh, that's the stairs right there!". A quick glance at his kill count confirmed that all primary objectives had been met, so he grabbed what was in sight - another nuke, some more med packs and a nice green globe of happiness, so he headed down to meet the masterind. Being happy - and invulnerable - he just ran up to it to start pumping shell after shell into its body until it finally collapsed.

He grabbed the brain as a souvenir, and after retuning home was awarded some badges by his superiors - including a Grammaton Cleric Cross which he believed to be a bad joke..."You gotta be f'ing kidding me..I didn't even use that thing" :)

Nice run man, and welcome to the forums! Starting in arachno-caves can be very frustrating, good thing you just kept on going.

[Tormuse]

Yeah, nice one.  :)  And yeah, Arachnotron caves are my least favourite levels to come across, especially if there's very little (or no) cover.

It's funny that you got the Grammaton Cleric Cross; I'm guessing that's a bug that'll be fixed next version, but I'll be sure to exploit it first chance I get.  :D
