What can I say ... I am really pleased that the RNG did not spawn arena-type dungeons - otherwise this run would probably end as YASD.
On the other side, I got 4-5 spiders' caves, most of them before getting Dodgemaster - but I had managed to melt them with my own plasma before they would have done the same with me.
Traditionally, RNG supported me with super useful (and one only) unique - I threw it right away.
I decided to do Arena - without any Berserks or whatsoever. As you can see on screen, the action was pretty hot there. The RL I got as a reward made it possible to finish the game - I had to recreate layout on the following levels in order to open my way / flee from monsters.
I quite like the napalm / acid barrels in the new version. Thanks to them and some Sokoban skills it is possible to create a unpassable barrier and shot the stupid AI from safe distance.
Cybie was not that hard, yet still he managed to hit me with 2 or 3 of his rockets - I forgot that BFG takes soo long to reload.
* Yet another long time grinder, I got very interesting dungeon layouts out there. Especially some of Phobos Hell maze-like dungeons were time-consuming. RNG filled them with lots of barrels and throw Mancubi behind them - trully deadly combo.
$$ Build was meant to give tactical advantage thanks to Intuition, then increase fire power because I had problems killing anything up from Hell Knight
@@@ Combat shotty and Chaingun were the main weapons of choice, later I had been using Plasma as well - thanks to spiders and huge supply of cells. BFG was only used on Cybie. RL from Hell's Arena proved to be VERY useful.
!!!! I got at least 2 thermies on my way, but there were no invulnerability globes

-- General ---------------------------------------------------
Before him 69 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
60 of those were killed.
And 4 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.
