 1108 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 942 of those were killed.
 11 of those were killed by something unknown.
 59 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
 And 35 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 62 souls destroyed the Mastermind...
 7 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
 49 killed the bitch and survived.
 6 showed that it can outsmart Hell itself.

--------------------------------------------------------------

After trying a few different builds I finally got Masochist Platinum + 100% (close enough). The three kills I missed were all on level 20, I really couldn't stick around to get them on a unholy radiation level considering the challenge mode. Shottyhead + Dodgemaster is rather absurd, almost feels like 'gun kata but for shotguns'.

Despite blowing 4 phases in the stretch from Mastermind to JC, I still didn't manage to keep any invincibility time for the JC fight. That said, I still beat him without taking damage thanks to dodgemaster.

My phobos anomaly was incredibly lucky. Not only did I have a phase device, but it dropped me behind the teleporter room. I corner-shot the bruisers from there using an unmodded shotgun (with a couple of rockets from my micro launcher) and killed them without taking damage.


On level 22 or so I found a sniper mod so I thought I could finally get plasmatic shrapnel, but no luck. I'm still missing 2 basic assemblies.

Most comments in Roguelike Studio replay above. Some stuff it doesn't mention:

'Hell froze over' in the second-to-last level, but I didn't notice. Some mistakes I made included picking up too much green armour and maybe using hellwave a bit too late. While I did get reasonably lucky with powerups and the hellwave, I was displeased with how many endgame enemies I was forced to fight, especially all the arachnotrons I faced in arenas.

As seen here: http://forum.chaosforge.org/index.php/topic,4433.0/
And here: http://forum.chaosforge.org/index.php/topic,4432.0/

In both mortems, they have completed all special levels they visited except for one. In the top mortem's case, it was the vaults (shown by the "He partially scavenged the vaults" message) and in the bottom mortem he only did 2 waves of Hell's Arena.

However, both of them say "He left the armory without drawing too much attention", the message that indicates never spawning the Shambler. This means that Hell's Armory can be completed without spawning and killing the Shambler.

A while ago when I was doing my AoHu conqueror runs, I did ask Kornel whether you had to spawn the Shambler to complete the level, and he said yes, so this must be unintended.

 Thomas, level 14 Arch-Vile Lt. General, nuked the Cyberdemon.
 on level 26 of the Phobos base.
 He survived 30239 turns and scored 644116 points.
 He played for 39 minutes and 49 seconds.
 He opposed the Nightmare!

 He killed 818 out of 1347 hellspawn. (60%)

It's quite amazing how many kills I can get on a normal Nightmare! run. And yet 90%+ is still way out of my reach for now...

I stayed in the mort for a really long time, but holy shit does it get dangerous after a while.
I'm not sure if you know this, viewers at home, but the respawn chance increases as you dawdle.
Even for someone with vampyre, the self-propagating murder machine does run out of steam (berserk) eventually.

A luckier Thomas would've found a nuke and full-won for Veteran Diamond.

A skillier Thomas would've remembered that the Nuclear BFG in the mort (didn't pick it up, I have a god damn LS) is fine too.

 Thomas, level 8 Arch-Vile Lt. General, defeated the Cyberdemon
 on level 25 of the Phobos base.
 He survived 78195 turns and scored 34666 points.
 He played for 1 hour, 1 minute and 7 seconds.

Man, if I finish UV in more than an hour it's because I was taking it slow, or trying for conqueror.
To take an hour on ITYTD... I was really really careful.

 He was too young to die!

 He killed 294 out of 398 hellspawn. (73%)


 He saved himself once.

A lot of "Don't take a lot of damage" stuff.
Hell Arena Key is 'beat hell's arena without taking damage', a cakewalk on ITYTD.
Untouchable Cross is 'beat the game with less than 50 damage taken overall'.

  EE->EE->Int->Int->HR->HR->DM->Rel->

I took 21 damage before getting Int 2 (at around dlvl 7) and 17 damage afterwards.
ITYTD has so few monsters that you can avoid conflict entirely until you feel like killing stuff.
Level 24 had 6 monsters, and while I'm sure 5 were arch-viles or something they're just so easy to work around.

I got Rel because I thought I could get MFa, but there's nowhere near enough experience for that.
Also... it blocks EE. Whoops.

Didn't reload any of my weapons during the cyberdemon fight, just kept swapping around.
Anti-freak jackal is a decent cyberdemon-fighting weapon...
It uses no ammo (10mm ammo might as well be free) and is like a poor man's missile launcher.

Even though the untouchable cross medal is pretty much "beat the game without ever healing" it's still handy to have medpacks.
They don't give you decaying health (which might mess with the damage count in my head) and recharge my run.
I never picked up any powerups (except the occaisional invincibility globe) because of how easy ITYTD is.

Just two more medals for heroic platinum. I only need one more platinum and one more diamond for the next rank. However, of the last two diamonds I know I can get (Destroyer Diamond and Gatekeeper Diamond) the former will net me a platinum anyway... whatever, medals are their own reward.

EDIT: Huh. I have 12 platinums already. I must've gotten gatekeeper platinum on one of my failed Nightmare! runs without even noticing.

Every "He left as soon as possible" message means I left in 10 seconds or less. Because the player is slower on Nightmare! (giving the illusion that the monsters are faster) this means that on 6 levels (including the final level and 2 of the pre-chained court levels) I spawned within 8 steps of the stairs.

I got in to several huge binds, that took long periods of time to "solve".
That, and conquering UV takes a long-ass time.

 He was a man of Ultra-Violence!

 He killed 1019 out of 1019 hellspawn. (100%)
 This ass-kicking marine killed all of them!

Ugh I'm getting A100 YAAM flashbacks... maybe not quite that tedious.

A brief overview of my run:
Hell's Arena: Easy as ever.
Chained Court: Some punk baron destroyed the chainsaw. Whatever, I just made a chainsword later.
Levels 4-10: No shotgun shells spawned AT ALL. I was rocketing former humans, I was knifing arachnotrons, I was plasma rifling cacodemons, it was crazy. By the end, I'd used every quick-key weapon bar the BFG.
Hell's Armory: Finally, ammo! Well, rockets and plasma and 10mm ammo anyway. Unfortunately, this is the first special level to feature revenants, and definitely not the last. It was really weird, because I still had no shotgun shells so I pretty much had to just use rocket launchers and a no-EE unmodded plasma rifle (ugh) for most of the killing.
The Wall: FUCK THE WALL. You know what I did? I used HELLWAVE then I used SHOCKWAVE. It's super-fucking-effective you stupid viles!
Levels 13-14: Now that the wall and armory have sucked up all my medpacks, my inventory pretty much consists of rockets, plasma and nothing else. Perfect time for arachnotron caves, I'd say!
Halls of Carnage: Still a breather. The lava really isn't that fast unless you play on N!. Supercharges are always great for people with Badass and no health packs, and the sergeants finally gave me some tactical shotgun ammo.

After this was UC and everything pretty much went smoothly from there (as they normally do when you have Azrael's Scythe and Vampyre) but holy shit did the vaults almost kill me 5 times. Also, spider's lair didn't spawn. Of course. Because allowing me to get arachno silver would be too much for the game to bear.


...


wait.
what's that in my inventory
that's the gcb

i still don't have the grammaton cleric cross, that's-
that's why i picked it up, just like in my AoHu conqueror

The only thing really out of place considering the "Master of all trades, Jack of none" style of gameplay
conquering the game requires is the Grammaton Cleric Beretta. I was going to kill the cyberdemon with
it for yet another medal, but your priorities change when your angelic armour gets almost destroyed and
you're on 10% HP.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Nothing really to note about this mortem. When you get a cleaver on level 2, you don't get too much tactical intrigue in a run.

I did have a couple of cool moments though, like pretty much every time a pain elemental spawned and I could do some silly tricks with them to make my baron fights easier, or that one time I swapped from Azrael's scythe to my Butcher's Cleaver so that I could actually leave behind some non-gibbed corpses to use my hatred skull on.

Title says it all, really. It's making my death totals look really weird now that I've done 30 or so failed quartermaster diamond runs.

I'm assuming that the reason dying to the Cyberdemon while a nuke is active counts as a partial win is because of this. If this bug does get fixed, I'd like Kornel to make sure that an exception is added to make sure that dying to the Cyberdemon with a nuke active still counts as a partial win rather than a death.

Every Soldier's Medal is a brainchild of my own: clear the wall on AoHu. Disapointingly, I wasn't the first person to get it.
I'll try to be the first to get 'Medal of Honor', though. That'll be a doozy.
Hey, I also invented the untouchable badge! Man, I'm feeding my own addiction here.

Finesse two and a tactical shotgun is all you need, offense-wise.
Getting TaN later than my guide says to, but you don't really need more than 4 armour until hell knights start showing up.
It does mean you have to bulk mod your red armour earlier than you might like, though.

I picked up a stack power cells in the arena and never dropped them or picked up more. I used them in the cyberdemon fight.
I'm pretty good at this whole planning ahead thing, I'd like to think.

If I tried, I probably could've done the vaults and the mort, or maybe even a full win.
Heck, I would've done the mort if I didn't have a big scare with a couple of revenants on levels 21-23.

EDIT: Man, I was reading over this and thought I should explain my 40 nuke deaths.
Every failure on AoRA, regardless of how you died, counts as a nuke death.
I've tried UV/AoRA/100% about 35 times now, I suppose.

 Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
 Is he immortal? 29 souls claim to have killed him...

--------------------------------------------------------------

Two more points that I didn't sneak in to the mortem:

The tactical shotgun is a new assembly in 0.9.9.3. It's overpowered. The mods you start with on AoHu mean you can assemble it on level 2 (as I did) and become a force of nature.

The Wall was easier than expected. By making a hole in the bottom of the wall, I could just stand in it and shoot my tactical shotgun upwards around the wall. I got hit once or twice, but I think I already had my [6/6] armour by then, or at least a regular red.

Requests For Features / Monster knockback reduction
« on: April 10, 2011, 22:56 »
So I was going through AoHu (abruptly ended when I realised that even 20 HP and 7 armour is not enough to survive a lava barrel explosion) with my Combat Shotgun (9d3) [5/5] (P2T3) when I realised how absurdly easy the game is once you get a decent combat shotgun and some levels of finesse.

What makes me think that some monsters need natural knockback reduction is my favourite hellgate trick, the one where you hide behind the northern wall and fire/reload/fire/reload so quickly that you can push back both of the bruiser brothers before either can attack you.

In my opinion, bigger and heavier enemies should have much more knockback resistance. Revenants and Hell Knights get about -30%, Barons and Arachnotrons get about -50% and Mancubi/Minibosses get -70% or so.

On the other hand, flying enemies should have about +100% knockback and be buffed in some way to compensate (Cacodemons just get some stat increases, pain elementals that you've injured will spawn lost souls even if you can't see them)
