Finally won this one after endless amount of tries. This time i decided not to fight (and to die to) Angel of Death after not going berserking on the demons. Every single time I've tried to fight him when I've got that far and not once I've got berserk on.

This time I got berserk on level 16 and went to stairs immediately. After both my phase devices I still found myself outside the walls. After that I went doing the usual fight against the demons and realized I wasn't berserking. Luckily I decided to see what the end game is like without Longinus Spear, though, which I've never gotten anyway. And guess what I find a few levels later (on ~L20), Dragonslayer! I'd just heard rumors about it before and now I find it, great. Somehow I managed to pick it up and the last levels were a breeze after that. Even Cybie was almost dead after 2 hits.

One reason I decided to skip the sure fatal fight against AoD was that I got the Necroarmor which really helped the mid game. I also found Phaseshift Armor which I didn't use even once though.

 Before him 156 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 132 of those were killed.
 2 of those were killed by something unknown.
 5 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
 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? 8 souls claim to have killed him...
 3 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
 5 killed the bastard and survived.

Fascinating... thanks to you we know it is possible to pick up the Dragonslayer.

It bears further testing, however, to see what allows for it. Me, I see two options:
1) The choice of perks,
2) The player level.

The time I found mine, I was an AoMr, so I obviously can't quite compare the stats... but at the time I was also an Imp Sergeant. If the item's description is any indication... maybe it's the "monster" status that affects it? Say, Demon or upwards...

This bears further testing. Volunteers?

[Silhar]

There were few people with Bru(3) and Ber who didn't manage to pick it up. This has to depend on the rank.
Or, maybe, you have do be berserking to pick this Legendary Tool Of Destruction...

Congrats, Gulthorpe. You just have become a nobleman here...

Or, you know, this may be FAKE ! There is no entry for picking the Dragonslayer up in the History ! :P

This is a bug, the pickup of Dragonslayer isn't noted.

Congratz Gulthrope, and welcome to the Secret Society Of Players Who Wont Tell How ;).

[Silhar]

Aaah. I apologize, then.

How the hell did he do that ?! :-O

[Gulthorpe]

Silhar: Thank you. Noticed also the missing entry for picking it up after finishing the game. That's why (and also because I was so excited that I managed to pick it up) I can't remember the exact level where I found it.

Kornel: Thank you too. I'm happy to be allowed to join the secret society. :D

[Gargulec]

Big congratulations.

AoB is funniest part of DoomRL, IMHO.
