 Before him 125 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 112 of those were killed.
 3 of those were killed by something unknown.
 And 9 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.

I'd spent the past couple of days' worth of playing exclusively on Angel of Impatience (a few of my earlier attempts were done on the Ultra-Violence difficulty but those never made it past about level 6 - consider those a crash training session), and finally, I have it done.  I had about four (non-consecutive) runs before this die somewhere in Phobos Hell (that's levels 16-24, for those that don't know) - one of them just because I got completely surrounded by lost souls, but any of those four might have qualified for interesting YASD posts here (I have a LOT of stories from this experience, like the time I basically ran at 3% health towards a Supercharge with a demon in hot pursuit and managed to get the powerup in time).  I figured I'd give some time between topics in this forum though, so I waited for the YAVP to say anything.

I was unlucky enough to not have Hell's Armory even spawn, for some reason, so Halls of Carnage (the level I keep the double shotgun for - I pitched it after that level, feeling I had enough weaponry) was basically my salvation.  Not just for the BFG 9000 (which saved me on level 24 - Arachnotrons are the bane of my existence, I tell you), but for those extra rockets.  I was using the rocket launcher a lot in the Phobos Hell area, but still, I had to officially give up on 100% kills around level 18.  I just knew I wouldn't survive if I tried to kill everything (I barely made it as it is).  My excuse for nuking the Cyberdemon is simple - after all the frustration I'd encountered, I was not about to lose in the final level.  Had it not been for that, I would have overloaded a plasma rifle (my excuse for carrying two) and let fly.  Surely with EE and SoaB, the overcharged rifle would have brought him down far enough that a single BFG 9000 shot could kill him, right?

Skill-wise, everything up to and including the first rank in Ironman was planned - more than one level of Badass is something I'll maybe save for Angel of Masochism (yeah, right, I won't touch that challenge until I beat the Nightmare skill), but not having Badass meant I may not have the extra health by the time I need it.  So for this challenge mode, one rank of Badass was important and at the same time enough.  After the first Ironman, I went for the other two ranks figuring I'd need the extra health badly (and let's be frank - I did need it in the end).  By the time I got Eagle Eye, I'd already stocked up quite a few power cells and a plasma rifle, and knew I'd need to use it eventually (but I'd been using a chaingun for quite a while too).

The second thermonuclear device (the one you see in inventory) was carried in the event I could nuke a tough level, but I never got the chance.


I'm debating what to do next.  Angel of Light Travel or Angel of Marksmanship?  (I'm not doing Angel of Berserk yet - not until I get a good plan for more safely reaching melee range against former sergeants, the enemy that usually kills me in that mode.)  Either way, I'd do it on Hurt Me Plenty to fulfill another requirement down the road.

As before, feel free to comment.


P.S.  There's a certain naming code for character names that I use for different challenge modes (or for not being in a challenge mode).  I don't know why - this is just a habit of mine.
