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

 Before him 73 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 63 of those were killed.
 1 of those was killed by something unknown.
 And 5 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.

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

Yo, it's me again. I decided to try a standard game knife-run, and boy, I succeeded on easy after a few unsuccessful attempts on harder difficulties. The early game was too easy, because the healing effects were doubled. I didn't find a bulk mod pack to equip my knife with until very late in the game, so that led to some problems. Anyway, I ran out of medpacks on the middle-to-late levels, but still managed to survive, thanks to a few supercharges and healing globes.

There weren't very many difficult parts in the late game, except for a level, where there was a crowd of mancubi, archvile and spideys in the middle. I managed to clear them out, thanks to them being so stupid as to shoot each other. I actually ran away from that situation after killing the damn arch-vile, but found a conveniently placed invulnerability globe near. Let's say that the remaining monsters didn't stand a chance.

Found a nuke, but there wasn't Inv globe on the level before Cybie. Too bad, I still have a JC to see (and kill).

That's still not an easy task, knives are REALLY underpowered.

Well, they are, you know, knives. ;D

I had some tough spots, but it wasn't so bad, all in all.

Gratz! Btw guys, is bulk or power mod better for melee weapons? I modded power chainsaw and it got dice upgraded, but bulk upgrades number of rolls so it's way better?

I think you answered your own question.

That said, I personally believe tech mods are the way to go if you're using a melee build: faster attack means less hurt to you. If it's a normal game (and you want to just have a chainsaw for Lost Souls or something) agi isn't a bad idea.

Those said monsters are actually very easy in melee. Getting near them is the hard part, but even that is easily done while berserk. A horde of demons is harder with knives only, imo, than a single mancubus/arch-vile/revenant.

It looked like so much fun I gave it a try, posting mortem now.

BTW tech knives are insane for this.
