This is the closest I have ever been to winning. Reaching Phobos Hell levels is still pretty exciting for me, and seeing the number creep ever closer to 25 was ... tense.
A few close calls, especially with Arachnotrons in Hells Armory, but nothing a Phase Device couldn't rescue. And I found the Jackhammer there as well, so it was well worth it. The really stupid part happened on level 18. I already found the exit (same room as entrance), but decided to go exploring... Open up a room and half a dozen Cacodemons with a support group of Commandos jump in my face. The Jackhammer cleared them out, but the damage was done - to health and armour.
The Baron in concert with a Revenant on 19 was just the icing of the cake. Not even the almighty BFG could save me. I guess I could have tried phasing, but looking at the post-mortem map there wasn't much empty, friendly space to phase to. And without medkits it would've been just a delay until I faced those two again.
So, time for some cool-down and then on, to storm hell once more!
