 Before him 70 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 56 of those were killed.
 And 8 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
 Is he immortal? 6 souls claim to have killed him...
 5 killed the bastard and survived.
 1 showed that it can outsmart hell itself.

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



It seems that this might be possible although it would require extreme luck. Tried 10 or so test runs. The first levels are even harder than AoB as any enemy except a former human can be deadly and you start with only 2 small med packs compared to 2 large ones in AoB. After you gain a few levels it becomes manageable as long as you don't fight anything bigger than demons if you're not zerking.

Can anyone (Dervis maybe) give any advice how this could be won?

Question to Kornel: Does throwing a knife to a barrel count as using it? Does picking up, for example, chainsaw count as using it if you take it off of your hand immediately or after some time? Does hitting enemys with, for example, pistol in hand count as using it?

I have no tips for you, as this is one of the badges i think are virtually impossible.
Concerning your knife/chainsaw issues, I think you're ok as long as you don't kill anything while using them.

Ok Dervis.

After maybe 30 more tries I'm not gonna try this for a while. The only time I got to Chained Court was with the shown post mortem.

There are quite a few problems in fighting with only fists. The biggest problem is that berserk doesn't activate if you're not already berserking. So if you ever run out of berserking you have to run and hope to find another berserk pack. In AoB you could just fight the next enemy and get berserk again.

I also tried without taking berserker but it didn't matter. You still have to get all the levels of brute if you want to hurt anything so it's only one trait more.

This can't either be done like AoPc because you don't level up every two levels. Maybe combined AoPc+berserking tactic, in which you fight only when berserking, could work if the damage done without brute wasn't so low.

If chance of berserking wasn't as much damage based as it is now, this could be possible in theory. While berserking, fighting with fists isn't alot harder than fighting with a chainsaw.

I agree that berserker should be tweaked to make this possible - A baseline percent (5%? 10%?) Plus a log function for damage (So that an increase in damage helps, but the effect is not as defining). This would be a FUUUUUUUUN badge to get if this was implemented :>

It is possible, you just need to hope that the RNG is exceptionally kind to you.

Probably the best advice I can give is to try these conditions out in UV until you can beat Cybie, then take the strategy into N!.

Actually, Thomas is wrong. Tyson means that one can use the Fist, Fist while Berserk, the Chainsaw and the Pistol.

Madtrixr, if you didn't catch it, there's a similar reference also in DoomRL itself ;)

I'm pretty sure you're not allowed to use the pistol, as little as it would help once you get berserk/chainsaw anyway.

You're allowed to use the pistol to trigger those switches that need to be triggered by shooting if I recall correctly.
