 Before him 232 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 201 of those were killed.
 1 of those was killed by something unknown.
 8 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
 And 8 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
 Is he immortal? 14 souls claim to have killed him...
 14 killed the bastard and survived.

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

I've never managed to win any Nightmare! game until now, despite a few dozen attempts.  Given my previous lack of success, I don't know why I attempted Pacifism... but somehow I survived all the way to level 25.  In fact, this actually felt easier than other Nightmare! games.  You don't have to worry much about monsters coming back to life, as you don't kill many in the first place :)

If not for a few timely invulnerability globes (and the increased effectiveness of said globes in Nightmare!) I would have died many times over.  On at least two occasions I had to run through arena-style levels packed with Viles in all directions, and no phase devices to help.

Woah! Gratz on beating BLADE challenge on N! ;) Though AoPc is pure luck, these runs are somehow always epic, especially on N!.. I missed Compet-N platinum by less than 2 minutes, but it was HNTR. I don't think it would be possible on N! but who knows. Anyway, gratz again ;]

Congratulations on your first N! victory. FYI, the title reads "Pacifism Gold" when it should read "Pacifism Platinum", utterly confusing me before I read the mortem.

Looks like a real bare-boned finish, too. Best way to end in Pacifism, I say: extra gear makes it look like you got too lucky. Best of luck to you, should you attempt the Diamond anytime soon.

Not sure where the BLADE difficulty come from, but given the current game configuration, AoPc is among the easiest N! challenge modes to complete.

I should know because that's the only N! that I have a Win for... >.>

I computed, therefore I was.

The problem lies in that the scaling of Angels is not the same for all of them. AoMC and AoP are both exceptionally difficult when you start to play them (or, at the very least, unique enough to throw you a curve ball for many a game), but become easier and easier over time. Once you start playing either on the harder difficulties, they don't change all that much. The same is true of AoB in that the difficulty comes primarily from everything before the Chained Court, as the scaling can only go so far that early, even on Nightmare!. On the other hand, AoMr and AoI are far more difficult than their easier counterparts, seeing as how MGK is an HNTR-killer and N!'s double bonuses are practically wasted on the Impatience challenge.

It may be smarter just to remove the difficulty meters altogether, if not change them depending on the difficulty (which would require a completely new challenge-select screen). I suggested a reorder in another post, but I would have to rethink it when the difficulty level must be considered.

Thanks for pointing that out.  I corrected it.

Oh, I was extremely lucky with orbs.  Just not in the inventory department :)
