  On level 14 he ventured into the Halls of Carnage.
  On level 18 he ventured into the Spider's Lair.

  On level 19 he entered the Vaults.
  He came, he saw, but he left.
  On level 22 he found the Nuclear Plasma Rifle!
  On level 23 he entered the Lava Pits.

-- General ---------------------------------------------------

 Before him 190 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 163 of those were killed.
 4 of those were killed by something unknown.
 1 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
 And 17 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
 Is he immortal? 5 souls claim to have killed him...
 5 killed the bastard and survived.

--------------------------------------------------------------

The Blaster is hands-down my favorite Unique - wish I could have it every time!  Dual-gunning with the Beretta actually turned out LESS useful than expected - using the Blaster alone was better than pairing it with the Beretta in single-shot mode, and on any of the multiple-shot modes, it went through ammo way too quickly and wasn't accurate enough - I eventually abandoned the thing after running out of ammo, despite having over 800 rounds at one point.  I used 3 phase devices in the vaults and still didn't get to enter the middle...and there was a Unique there.  There was a Unique in the lava pits too, but my envirosuit ran out before I even got halfway across and I had to abandon my pursuit with a homing phase device.  The Nuclear Plasma Rifle is pretty useless for my playstyle - and it recharges so slowly.

The arena is too hard to tackle that early in UV, at least for me, so that greatly reduces the chance of getting a rocket launcher...so I had to skip the wall.  I really love the backpack though...

I'm still curious as to whether or not son of a gun bonuses come into play when the Beretta is in multishot mode?  I'm guessing it does, but even then the Blaster was better alone.  I could've taken a level of Badass instead, which would have been nice to reduce the knockback from all the explosions that hit me.

3 TaN and 3 Ironman are fabulous - you can take so much more damage; a lot of situations are far less dangerous, and even if you don't have enough armor, you can still survive.

First time I seriously used Cateye (rather than Intuition).  Since I went for durability first, I couldn't wait 3 levels to get the benefit of 'telepathy'.  And it turns out I wouldn't gain 3 further levels in any case.

Also - I almost never run into thermonuclear bombs - and never with an invulnerability on floor 24 (although I did get the latter alone this time - first time that happened to me, made Cyberdemon a snap).  Wish I could take a crack at JC.

Next up - U/Ao100!  I'm going to start tackling that again.  Most of the other challenge modes don't particularly interest me.

Ah crud I just realized if I kept the Nuclear Plasma Rifle - I would have had a nuke!  Sigh.

UV Arena is beatable with a Combat shotgun and around 3 medkits, if you don't mind using hit and run tactics on the Cacos. And probably you don't know but UV The Wall is *NOT* a fun place.

Tell me more about these hit and run tactics...I'm really poor at using the shotgun.  All I do is zig-zag forwards and shoot.  Or drop items around a corner and hope enemies conveniently wander up to me point blank.

And I just checked the wiki - you're right, it's probably better to skip the wall on UV.  The 2 archviles will probably make things rather tough at ~dlvl 7.

Thanks for that.  Doesn't look like it fits the way I play very well.  Although if it's true shotguns are being powered up (both in base damage and with focus) they're definitely something I look forward to trying next version.
