I started this challenge (HMP is a challenge by itself, isn't it?) 3 or 4 times, each time being killed in Spider's Lair with no med-kits left or while recharging my plasma rifle (two volleys from Arachnotron can remove 30+ HP quite easily).  So this time I decided to concentrate on the "correct" (for me) sequence of skills.  That's why I took two Cateye quite early - to be able to kill Knights and Barons from afar before they start shooting back.  This way I managed to save and even stockpile med-kits.  The biggest problem was the lack of ammo - despite thoroughly looting each and every level for all relevant ammo and even milking a commando with Arch-vile behind it I ran out of powercells once and was way too low on 10-mm ammo as well.

I found advanced pistol and advanced plasma rifle, but it was too late - there were zero weapon mods by then :(.

Revenant's Launcher was a gift, though - it pushed back pretty much everyone, which, with Cat(2) gave me enough time to recharge.  And hey, you never run out of rockets with all those Revenants and Mancubi wandering around...

Hell's Staff  - used only once, in the Vaults (by the way: I broke into the right one, phased into the left one, but could not get to the center - can anyone give a hint inside spoiler tags?)

Baron's Armor - now we're talking!  I saved it almost till the end and entered Phobos Arena with it at 166% or so.  Poor Cybie eventually killed himself (see the final messages) while I ran towards him.

Chainsaw - used several times, espesially while invincible (again, to conserve ammo).

Enjoy!

 3 killed the bastard and survived.

by the way: I broke into the right one, phased into the left one, but could not get to the center - can anyone give a hint inside spoiler tags?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I was there two times so far, and I managed to clean the right and left one after breaking certain parts of wall. As for central one, I have no idea if there is possible to into break it, or not.
