Before him 42 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
23 of those were killed.

And 3 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...
2 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
9 killed the bastard and survived.
1 showed that it can outsmart hell itself.

"Hey, i'm doing so well, maybe i should save and scum, just in case i get killed in an incredibly stupid way one level later... Nah."
I would have won.
Vengeance will be mine.
