 Before him 9 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 8 of those were killed.

 Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
 Is he immortal? 1 souls claim to have killed him...
 1 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.

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

in this specific run, I had been going on for a while finding one or maybe two medikits per floor. I had just picked up that globe, when I noticed the baron... walking away calmly didn't work so I tried dropping dead, which seemed to work.

anyways, later on I went on this AoMr run and got to floor 7 with no apparent medikit shortage... it's just... there was this door I hadn't seen, and a sergeant right outside of it, and this barrel behind me, and... well... I hope I haven't say anymore.


also I'm breaking the chain on this board. too many non-YASD topics; someone oughta fix that

That's a lot of shotgun shells!  One thing you might want to try is to blast your shotgun through the doors without opening them.  If I remember correctly, you will still hit anything that was behind it.

Running is a shotty's best friend: considering you had just picked up a globe, that friend was there for you.  Running greatly increases your capacity to dodge projectiles.  In addition, it lets you get close enough for your double shotty to be effective.

And yeah, shotty-scouting is useful as well.  Hold back on barrel levels, though.  (I've never heard of being able to shoot through closed doors;  a blast from that point-blank range typically absorbs the full spray.)

Little tip: put your combat shotty in the prepared slot for extra room (you'll eventually need the space).

I think that thelaptop was more talking about how the Double Shotgun is currently somewhat broken. Each of the shells expended is calculated seperately, so that you actually get two blasts, thus the door would be destroyed, and then the monsters attacked. It's not supposed to happen, but hey, when you've got the hordes of hell knocking down your door, you take any advantage you can get.
