 Before him 423 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 355 of those were killed.
 1 of those was killed by something unknown.
 33 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
 And 13 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
 Is he immortal? 21 souls claim to have killed him...
 2 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
 17 killed the bastard and survived.
 2 showed that it can outsmart hell itself.

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

After some unsuccessful UV/N! AoI runs (and there were quite a few), I took a shot at AoH UV/100% after hating it for so long. At the suggestion of a guide contributor, I went for Cateye. While I almost always build EE/SoB for this badge, I doubt I would have finished up the master trait without advice: however, I never got far enough for a master trait before, so no harm in building it.

Beginning was rather nice, combat shotty at the veeeery beginning kept me alive long enough to get a few traits for rapid-fire. For the most part, I was lucky enough for enemy spawns not to be ridiculously stacked against me in the first few levels. A very tense but pretty standard early-game.

Level 5 generated Hell's Armory and, at the same time, two Invulnerability Globes near the stairs. Managed to survive through the whole level without using them, which was not easy in the least (only in that level did I actually find a plasma rifle). That made the Armory a great deal easier, managed to run into the center and go to town on the Cacos and a Rev that came out. Cleaned out the rest with rather little damage.

Next level, Cateye pops...in a maze. Must've spent ten minutes alone on that level, being extremely careful not to die against the Barons and Rev and Mancubus. Early on I saw that The Wall generated: at first I thought it'd be insane to try it, but I did have a nice stash of 40 rockets and cells to spare. In addition to Cateye, it seemed plausible to do so without even taking damage. The end result was that I was only hit three times: one Vile-fire, one Baron-ball, and me accidentally misfiring a rocket. All in all, however, it proved well worth the trouble, what with the extra space and missile launcher and tons and TONS of rockets.

After The Wall, I was hit with nothing but Caves, Cities, and an Arena, coincidentally all the level types you want if you're playing Cateye. Combat shotty was used to lure enemies, plasma for damage, and rockets when I was unsure of the situation. A few rough spots (particularly the Arena, Rev/Vile pack is always rough) but I came out on top in every case. Snagged a Cybernetic Armor in a City, decided to save it for Cybie.

Cyberdemon was pretty straightforward, although it really came down to the wire. I didn't want to nuke if I didn't have to, but he dealt a ton of damage and forced me to use up every med-pack I had. Killed him in a nice, dramatic finish of "after this volley he's gonna nail me".

I'm just glad to get this one off my chest: I'd take Runner Gold over Eagerness Gold any day (the latter will come with time, and maybe together with the Platinum/Diamond).

Congratulations, it seems pretty lucky and satisfying win :) I'll try someday to go cateye, because I'm sucky enough to not to be able to get master traits very often.
