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

 Before him 119 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 101 of those were killed.
 2 of those were killed by something unknown.
 5 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? 4 souls claim to have killed him...
 1 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
 3 killed the bastard and survived.

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

No fancy equipment just a bulk pistol from the start and a power pistol from the arena and common armor till just about the end.
My only RNG supplied unique was the hell staff and my exotics weren't much better (I saw FOUR assault shotguns...)

I got DG in Hell's Arena just before the 2nd wave and MGK in the Halls of Carnage.

The hellgate is easy if you have a plan and remember HOMING phase kits ALWAYS warp you back to the room you entered.

Three of my hell levels were arachnotron caves.  I don't understand why arachnotron caves are so hated, I've always found them easy.

The Mortuary was an accident (curse berserk packs screen effect) and I thought I was screwed. I grabbed the armor and a supercharge and hellstaffed next to 2 of the viles on the left. I killed 1 and hurt the 2nd before I had to use my homing phase ending up on the right side.  From there I just walked left mopping up undead and another vile before I had to staff again this time to the left. I just pushed till I got back to the center barricade grabbed the 2nd supercharge and cleared the rest of the mess. It took 6 large med kits...

Archviles are hell, no two ways around it. Here is my level 24, 4 viles, many mixed formers and no less than 5 revenants. Every monster on the level was in that one room. I don't know how I did it with just pistols...

There is a chaingun (1d6)x4 [40/40] lying here.

Mortuary should provide you with a power and bulk mod. You could've gotten away with two P1B1 pistols, just be sure to check the corners next time.

The hellgate is easy if you have a plan and remember phase kits ALWAYS warp you back to the room you entered.
Except...they don't? (Frankly, I'm not even sure I know what you mean. Do they warp you back to the room you just came from, or any room you've been in, or the room you're already in?) Phase devices are random, as far as anyone can tell.

Three of my hell levels were arachnotron caves.  I don't understand why arachnotron caves are so hated, I've always found them easy.
Well, there are two things going for you: MGK build and HNTR difficulty. Unless you're at a rather close range, Arachnotrons have some piss-poor aim with their shots (harder difficulties correct this with increased to-hit chances). Add to the fact that you have HRx2, DM and insta-shots with MGK after dodging, and they aren't that much of a deal.

Furthermore, you've probably seen at most, what, six? By the time you're in Phobos Hell, UV has about double that. This isn't even mentioning how much earlier they can show up in the first place. It's almost ridiculous how much the game ramps per difficulty, but I suppose UV would be uninteresting if it wasn't as hard as it is now. (N! is always unfair.)

The Mortuary was an accident (curse berserk packs screen effect) and I thought I was screwed.
ALWAYS check the descriptions as they appear. The game will tell you what stairs you're on (special levels are read as "You see the stairs to [name]." or something similar). I can tell you that using the look command, though repetitive, can really help during berserk mode.

Still, congratulations are in order for a Mortuary victory with plain pistols. I usually don't consider it (or, if there was some accident or unavoidable situation on the previous floor) I'd just head for the stairs without at least a blaster.

As a side note I changed pistols and former humans to green because I kept confusing them with shotguns and sargents. What's the entity ID for 10mm ammo?
For all your identification needs.

I got whizkid later so they just went on armor.

Sorry my mistake I've been up for the last 36 hours, I meant to say HOMING phase devices will warp you back to the square the red armor spawns on.

As far as the Mortuary mistake goes,  it was a screw up plain and simple.

Great job ... that's the one saving grace about Viles ... human/vile packs keep your 10mm stocks replenished, any other pack is a living hell.

I didn't know that phase devices always took you back to the room you entered ... is this in the wiki somewhere?

And ... errh ... how do you even begin to go about taking on the Mortuary in AoMr??

as above, he meant the homing phase, in hellgate only (since the level has no staircase).  Similarly the homing phase in Mortuary will always take you to the lower-right staircase, and I think the same in arena levels.  I forget what happens in a normal level with a special staircase.

Mortuary in AoMr - Gun Kata or blaster, and pray.  Or Trigun, if prepared.  Perhaps the Anti-Freak Jackal destroys corpses?

As I said, In the hellgate and ONLY in the hellgate a homing phase kit will warp you to the square it spawns you at, normal phase kits work as normal. I think it's a glitch but it works wonders in a pinch. I'm editing that post now...

The Mortuary is not as scary as people make it out to be, it's just a very large vile pack and I had a reusable phase kit. Just take it slow and use all the standard tricks.

I was just about to post an AoMr mortem myself but since this is almost identical I think I'll pass :P I didn't find the mortuary all that hard, took out three Viles at the center before phasing to a corner and starting the biggest graveyard dance ever.

Only got 99% total though due to visiting the vaults and not being able to clear the rightmost one after running out of phase devices. If only I'd had the Jackal. Or an invulnerability globe to utilize Angel Arm. Also thought I'd screwed up Lava Pits when the level name didn't turn green and spent a few hundred turns waiting at the stairs for some hiding enemy to come into view but apparently killed all of them after all.

I too tend to find the Arachnotron caves relatively easy, mainly thanks to the lack of Arch-Viles.

Eh, didn't mean to come here just to toot my own horn :P Good job, especially without any unique weaponry.
