I guess I was, indeed, warned.
After what feels like my entire life I finally finished the Archangel of 666 challenge. It was fun about through the time that I maxed out at 25 XP, but before long the levels started to feel redundant and I started to realize that there was really no end in sight. At the difficulty level I was playing at, I wouldn't even say it was hard, per se; the last time I had a true near-death experience was in around level 200 or so, and by the time I got the Inquisitor set squared away the game was more or less rendered a joke.
For most of the game I was pretty much just hunting for exotic mod packs. I marveled at how I could go hundreds of levels without seeing one single solitary Onyx pack, and indeed I didn't finally find one until level 455. (I then found two more in the next 20 levels or so.) To my great disappointment, I was unable to assemble the cybernano armor; I only ever found one nano pack, and it went into making my nanomanufacture pistol.
Speaking of which, I was kinda pissed at the end of the game to discover that NONE of the pistol kills I'd done with the above mentioned pistol (and there were many) actually were counted as "pistol" kills. If they had, I'd probably have leveled up to Archvile rank or so. At least I got in enough melee kills for one lifetime though. The game once again drove home the power of a good melee build. I always prefer melee builds on the centurial challenges, since that way I don't have to constantly be rationing/scrounging for ammo, and can save room for other cool shit that I find.
This is the first time I assembled a biggest fucking gun, and I must say it's probably my new favorite DoomRL weapon (not that I may ever be able to make another one.) I always assumed it would be a "really powerful BFG" but that doesn't nearly do justice to it. It was always fun to fire it off and watch a quarter of the level get instantly cratered, and everything standing there reduced to little blood spatters. The gun legitimately saved my life in the nightmare arachnotron caves, where I would otherwise probably have been able to kill everything and live. Good stuff.
Apart from failing to build the cybernano, this was a good game for assemblies and uniques; I suppose in 666 levels one will find almost everything sooner or later, but after beating this I only have two assemblies left to build. After finding the Berserker Armor I lugged it around several hundred levels in the hope that I would get lucky and trigger Dragonslayer, but no such thing came about. (I've still never seen one.)
Anyway, here is the mortem:
