[M|AoPu|100%|YAAM] seeing in the dark
« on: September 07, 2010, 01:01 »

This one had a nice early game with a combat shotgun before the Arena.  The Chained Court was a bit of a nuisance without the Berserk Packs, and I considered skipping it as I had found an Agility mod for the boots, and with Eagle Eye they don't seem so necessary on the chaingun.  But the experience, plus saving the mod for a plasma rifle made me go for it.  I didn't find the rifle until Phobos Hell 2 or 3 though.  Hellgate was dealt with with rocket launcher, though one cacodemon got the jump on me somehow - Intuition 2 helped prevent any more of that.  It didn't stop a bruiser brother from being rocketed towards me!  Left there with only one medpack.

Phobos Hell was pretty cooperative, with no revenants or arch-viles and only one mancubus.  Tons of Arachnotrons and Barons.  The Arachnotrons weren't so bad once I got the plasma rifle, and the Barons I did a lot of off-screen / corridor shooting with the chaingun.  A trick I just found (I assume it's well-known) was trapping the barons behind lava since they won't cross it, then shooting from beyond their range.

The Mortuary I entered planning to just warp, grab BFG, and leave - but decided that I wanted to clear it.  That was almost my undoing! While the nuclear BFG was helpful, I had trouble advancing with the plasma rifle between BFG volleys, which I needed to do in order to collect cells.  hit 20% health more often than I'd like in there, but the end result was more or less par on medpacks, gained the nuclear BFG, less cells, and much more armor.

On floor 23 I saw all the enemies (20 or so) were in one room.  I got nearby and fired the nuclear BFG when the door opened, which cleared a lot of them - but then I was suddenly at 30% health (from 90%).  a bunch of Barons had survived, and took the rest of my medpacks to survive that (after their blasts, taking cover was not an option).  I should have switched to the normal BFG afterwards, instead of testing out the Railgun.  fun weapon though, the next level was arachnotron cave and it was handy there.

Cyberdemon wasn't too bad, though I was worried as I had only 2 medpacks and no Hellrunner/Dodgemaster.  starting with the nuclear BFG was a horrible error, as that prevented my backup nuke plan.  Running, cover, and the normal BFG were enough.  The Railgun was not very good in that fight, he could shoot me from range better than I could shoot him.

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

 Before him 196 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 176 of those were killed.
 1 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
 And 10 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
 Is he immortal? 9 souls claim to have killed him...
 2 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
 7 killed the bastard and survived.
