 Before him 87 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 80 of those were killed.
 And 6 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 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.

With 3xIro and 3xTaN CB was taking me about 30% life per shot, it seemes that his damage rose as well as the HP. When i died he was severely wounded, if I had been more careful in the beginning with shooting him from the corners I would do it...

Other interesting facts:
-done Hell Arena with a normal Shotgun
-thanks for Invulnerablity globe found quite near the stairs to The Mortuary i managed to clear the whole left side of it (never saw a bigger DoomRL slaughter before, and this was with a double shotgun, not some lame BFG ;) )
-UV should be made easier, not only on AoSg N! is much more passable than UV. I propose to add +50% globe and pack duration/strength.

UV easier? Its easy enough if you play it right, and if you can play REALLY well you can YAAM it. It doesn't need buffing.

Hm, i think i do play quite well but with as many trying as on N! I didn't manage to get myself even to Phobos Hell on UV (still talking about AoS, of course, but this issue affects for example AoB, too).

Any tips on how to get that far in an AoSh? That's by far my favorite challenge but I can't survive long in it (never reached Phobos Hell in UV or N!).

Isn't the combat shotgun more effective at that? The DShotty has a big damage dropoff at distances. I only use it at very close enemies.

Stuff that I normally do:

- Shoot around cornes with the combat shotgun
- Shoot at unrevealed areas to find enemies
- Go for badass first, then shottyman, then MAD (I rarely survive long enough for MAD though)

In the end I think I'm just having bad luck with the RNG, but if there's something else I'm missing, I'd love to hear it.

No. You see, the DShotty has such an enormous spread, it always fires around corners. Right now, the CShotty is bugged, it can't fire around corners at specific angles.

What you do:

A) Plug in Headphones
B) Shoot DShotty around corner
C) If you hear pain sound, continue to spam DShotty.

Also, you should get SM first. Always.

Well, to be honest I never tried using the DShotty around corners before. I tried it just now, and you're right, it works great when the CShotty fails. Thanks for that.

Regarding traits, I went for SM at first but I was dying too much on early levels, so I started going for badass instead. I'll try using Deaver's build from now on and see how it goes.

According my build: if in the moment of choosing the third trait you have combat shotgun and you haven't double shotgun I advice you to choose second TaN instead of second Reloader, it's more useful because you don't need to reload so much. Badass is nothing on UV or N!.

Other tips: use running wisely, set your character so that you can shoot as many monsters you can in one shot. For hell knights and alike shooting from the corner is especially effective. If you are standing next to A or commandos remember to shoot at them so that they have a wall by their backs, else they will be pushed by the shots and then make a salad out of you with plasma. Watch out with shooting near barrels, you can hurt yourself or loose a globe \ item. Plan on N! or H, even if UV AoS isn't harder than N! it's definitely more boring.

Some offtopic: could someone remind me the name of the program recordng .dm2 movies from the game? Can't find it.

With three pairs of boots you were wearing the wrong ones. The A-modded ones would've given you a slightly faster reload on that double shotty. It probably wouldn't have won you the game but couldn't hurt.
