-- General ---------------------------------------------------

 Before him 208 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 180 of those were killed.
 1 of those was killed by something unknown.
 8 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
 And 7 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
 Is he immortal? 12 souls claim to have killed him...
 12 killed the bastard and survived.

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

This victory was all the more satisfying because I've been going after the gold marksmanship badge for a while now, and because the final moments were very tense.

I thought I was in pretty good shape after the first couple levels of Phobos Hell.  Two Arachnotron caves later, things weren't looking so great.  I entered one of the caves with an Invincibility powerup and decided to just run for the exit; this turned out to be a mistake, as I picked the wrong direction.  Ended up having to fight my way back through the cave in the opposite direction.

With dwindling ammunition and health supplies, I eventually made my way to Phobos Hell Level 9.  I spawned in a dead-end room with only one exit.  Opening the door, I immediately see the exit staircase... and a vile pack right next to it.  Ouch.

I tried in vain to kill enough Revenants so that I could hit the Arch-viles behind them without exposing myself to the entire pack at once.  But the pistols just weren't doing enough damage; the viles were resurrecting them faster than I could kill them.  I would probably run out of ammunition before I got lucky enough to kill the viles.

I had no choice but to run for the exit.  And run I did... I had to use two of my precious large medkits on the way, and even then it was more dumb luck than skill that kept me alive.

And so I entered Phobos Arena with just 1 large medkit.

I danced around the Cyberdemon for a while, dodging rockets while pecking away at his health.  Unfortunately my dancing took me too close to a wall, and the resulting splash damage forced me to use the medkit.

After several more rounds of combat the Cyberdemon was nearly dead, but I was at just 37% health and my guns were empty.  I needed to reload, but Cybie was almost on top of me!  I sidestepped, and to my great relief a rocket flew past.  I dual-reloaded while Cybie loaded another rocket and stepped closer.

Now that he's adjacent to me I'm sure that 1 melee hit will kill me.  I'm already tired, so I can't run away.  I just fire, hoping my weapon speed will kill him off before he gets another move...  Kaboom!  A very satisfying kaboom.

Very nice run! It seems modded pistols saved you there. I envy you, I never did AoMr (the best was M|YASD on 25), let alone UV.. I remember facing Cyberdemon with no ammo but with MFa (AoS). I tried to melee him. YASD.
