So I went for a new build with less badass and more SOAB.
After the last embarrassing defeat at the hands of cyber demon, this time I kept the thermonuke. And stocked up on those homing phasers too, and when I hit hell dlvl7 or so, I started using those up to get down faster. On lvl 24, I got the message 'something very special' so against my better judgement I went ahead to look. I found a computer map, and from there I saw the real prize. Not some green but the invul orb around the corner. I picked it up, phased, and nuked cybie.
Then I went down and spammed BFG until the ultimate evil died. (I got lucky, I had 10 hp left and when that dude took a shot at me, he ended up hitting his own guy instead, rocketing himself. that gave me enough time to finish him off)
First full win ever---!!!

Before him 196 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
177 of those were killed.
4 of those were killed by something unknown.
And 8 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.
Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
Is he immortal? 7 souls claim to have killed him...
1 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
6 killed the bastard and survived.
