This was my 7th try at Angel of Marksmanship. Most of the attempts went very well, but at first I didn't realize which enemies to avoid. I died to a few mancubi and then a revenant. I was starting to get pissed off, so I checked the Badges Guide. I decided to try the offense build instead of the MGK build. I loved it. The Trigun made it pretty easy. I skipped 2 or 3 levels that sounded risky, even diving into The Vaults to avoid one of them.

I had never reached Phobos Arena with a nuke and invulnerabilty before. So after all those sad deaths in AoMr, the RNG decided to give me a nuke on level 23 and an invulnerability globe a few steps from the stairs on level 24. I wasn't even sure I knew how to use the nuke, but that went off without a hitch. The Trigun and offense build helped me kick the barons back and stun JC while running backwards to reload. The upgraded onyx armor allowed me to take a few rocket hits to the face. But if I had known how many barons he'd already spawned, I might have peed my pants.

I've put a good 40 hours into DoomRL over the holidays and polished off a lot of badges. I think it's break time.

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

 Before him 51 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 36 of those were killed.
 1 of those was killed by something unknown.
 And 1 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
 Is he immortal? 13 souls claim to have killed him...
 1 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
 12 killed the bastard and survived.

Hmm.  Did you know that the Trigun has an additional property of firing a Nuke on demand?  What you could have done is nuke Cyberdemon, head down the stairs, and then activate the Angel Arm on the Trigun thus nuking JC lso.  That would have guaranteed you a full win.

Anyway, congratulations!  DoomRL gets more and more interesting the more you play with it, so be sure to return to it after your little break.

(Hint: There might be a new release on the horizon with bug fixes and the like, making the experience better.  (=  )

I knew about the nuke from the Trigun but didn't think about nuking JC. It was fun to beat him the normal way at least once.

[Deathwind]

that and you need to live the 2nd nuke to get the badges due to that bug...
