It took a few tries, but I've finally completed Angel of Marksmanship. I'd gotten five other pistol-slingers down to Phobos Hell, three of them to level 24, but all died (one by running out of 10mm ammo; he managed to kill two barons with his hands before going down).

This run was actually pretty easy. I found a lot of red armor early on; quickly modded up my advanced pistol; and found four unique items, two being useful (Gothic Boots and Baron Armor) and one being very useful (Trigun). I had one close call in a hellish cave of arachnotrons, going down to 8% HP at one point. Level 24 would have been bad, with a cluster of three barons and five captains grouped together, but there was an invulnerability globe right outside the room they were in. I found my first megasphere, but before I could reach it, a baron destroyed it in the process of trying to destroy me.

I had to phase away from the Cyberdemon once before killing it. I had just found the Baron Armor on level 23, and it was my plan to just stand next to the Cyberdemon and pump rounds into it. This worked until the Cyberdemon was down to maybe 30% HP, but by that time the Baron Armor was at [1/6] and I was at about 20% HP. So, I phased away, healed up and changed armor, and killed it before it even got close to me again.

One other thing: For some reason, I was knocking enemies back with my attacks. This seems to have happened after I started using Trigun, but the wiki doesn't mention anything about this weapon causing knockback. Does the third level of SoaG cause this? Whatever caused it, it was extremely helpful, especially combined with Cateye. I could see some enemies before they could attack, and then knock them back with each attack, so I was effectively out of their attack range until I was able to kill them.

 Before him 107 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 99 of those were killed.
 2 of those were killed by something unknown.
 And 5 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
 Is he immortal? 1 souls claim to have killed him...
 1 killed the bastard and survived.

Heh, I think AoMr is the easiest challenge... so easy that I think a normal game is harder. Really =P

Knockback is purely based on damage dealt -- each 8 points of damage cause one square of knockback. As for the game itself -- yeah, trigun kicks ass -- you've been lucky :P. Be sure to watch the anime and say thanks to Vash xP

Hmm, I didn't know about this knockback theory. Always thought it was a seperate weapon/character property, but I never expected it to be based on the damage!
