 Before him 4 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 3 of those were killed.


 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.

--------------------------------------------------------------
(no save scumming here, I've just had a busy couple of days...)

So, for my first 3 attempts at the game I put it on M difficulty and got killed before getting to level 3 or so :) So I decide to play on E to learn the game and made it through to the CD. Buoyed up by my new-found confidence I went back to M and flukely took the CD down on my first attempt!

I used the Chaingun until I found the Assault Shotty which turned out to be pretty cool. Malek's Armour was also a great help, allowing me to save my red armours for the last 2 levels. About 5 levels from the end I discovered that the rocket launcher was pretty good too, so used that until I ran out of rockets! There was something 'special' in the Vaults but I only managed to open 1 before damaging myself sufficiently to decide it wasn't worth continuing. Phasing in there seemed too much like suicide :)

Almost died early on in hell when I was ambushed by 4 arachnotrons coming down the stairs and had to phase device out. Wandered haplessly into the Unholy Cathedral then ran away quickly (with a Lost Soul on my tail) when I found none of my weapons worked: I had discarded the chainsaw as useless early on. Also phased out of the Mortuary after a valiant but ultimately flawed attempt at keeping the hoards at bay. That started my ammo problems and left me run-and-gunning with the Nuclear Plasma Rifle away from Ms and Vs during the last 2 levels of hell. The Lava Pits turned out to be a lot more difficult than I remembered from E and I used up all of my health kits getting back after my environsuit ran out somewhere in the middle...

The Cyberdemon was pretty tough too - emptied my BFG at him and then bummed around for a bit trying to work out how to get into the stairs (that I saw when I won on E). This almost turned out to cost me life as he started firing at me out of my vision range. Fortunately all it took was one more rocket for him to start pushing up [cyber]daisies.

Cool game. No savepoints certainly ups the tension, although dangerous to play to music - I found myself moving along to the beat which invariably meant I toodled up Bs and engaged them in melee before I noticed!

Cheers Kornel!

Playing to the music :D.

As for the stairs in the arena it takes more than a simple trick to get there...

Thanks ^_^
