first shotgun run on this version and hell master killed me after masacring his play ground

[Game Hunter]

The Arena Master is no pushover, especially because of his cohorts (HMP gives him unlimited Sergeants and UV ups it to Captains, ugh). Normally I would suggest liberal use of the rocket launcher, but this is (of course) a shotty run. In such a case, I recommend clearing out the top or bottom side of the building you start in (if you can, kill the Cacodemons toward the right side to prevent respawn), then corner-shooting toward the left side. When you start to hear his scream, just keep shooting and he'll go down (eventually). If he tries to get close, there's a good chance the lava will prevent him from reaching you.

You can also try the berserk method, but that's a lot harder with shotguns due to knockback. You could TRY to knock him toward the boundary of the level and then keep 'im here until he's dead, but that's just a creative thought. I noticed you hadn't taken any packs or the chainsaw: if you're going to fight him in a line-of-sight confrontation, definitely use them to lessen the damage.

[darksergio]

well I didn know that the chainsaw was usable on a angel of shotgunnery but I used both pack for keep me alive while I ran toward of him for use the double shotty and hopefully keep him at meele range for preven the fireblast

[Game Hunter]

well I didn know that the chainsaw was usable on a angel of shotgunnery

Oh, you can't USE the chainsaw. You can pick it up, for sure, and get the berserk bonus, but you can't actually attack with it. (Might as well take the bonus though, right?) I was only asking about the berserks because the mortem indicates that they're all still there, since there are only two packs in that CC setup.

Double shotty, in terms of raw damage, is the way to go. As for keeping him in melee range, you'll want to shoot him up against a wall. Alternatively, you could knock him into the lava for some extra damage.

Side note: the official short form for Angel of Shotgunnery is AoSh, and not AoSg.

[darksergio]

oh ok game hunter I didnt had time for pick them up he tosted me before I was able to get out of his LOS. Laptop I fixed the title thanks for tell me

[bleak]

Yeah I just did an AoSh game, and I pretty much just grabbed all of the packs and the chainsaw, then ran out and shotgunned everything. Not really a problem if you're berserk. However I took a break to watch some cartoons later and died because I was distracted :( I don't know what the arena master's staff does, I was afraid to try it :)

[grommile]

I don't know what the arena master's staff does, I was afraid to try it :)

You use it, and something useful happens. Best used when surrounded by hordes of squashy monsters. It won't hurt you, though if there's any work for it to do you'll become tired.

[bleak]

as far as I can tell, it makes you tired regardless. it must be heavy.

[MaiZure]

At this difficulty level, my CC shottyman strategy isn't really a strategy - I grab 3 one of the packs and the chainsaw and rush the arena master using the combat shotty reload/fire approach. I don't start blasting until he's a few steps within my LOS. when I get within 1 square of him, I let loose with the double shotty and switch back to the combat shotty. I may also use rockets if it's not an Angel challenge game

At HNTR this seems nearly 100% effective. At UV, this is about 0% effective (and I wouldn't even bother going here on AoSh/UV)

[fwoop]

I cleared CC on UV AoSh today (died later in an arach cave due to consumable stinjiness though, oh well).

Use one of the berserk sources to take out the top barons and the formers on the right side of the map, then use another berserk source to take out the lower barons. I'm not sure if the hell master can resurrect like a regular arch vile, so if that's a problem, push the barons into the lava so that their corpses are lost.

Now you'll be on the end of a berserk and have one more remaining in the start room. Don't rush out and double shotty the vile in the face, you'll take too much damage, and the vile has a lot of hitpoints on UV. Abuse the corners of the room to snipe the vile with the combat shotty, and blast it with the double shotty if it gets very close.

By the end I'd gone through a blue armour and a large medkit. A more careful player could do it with less than that.

TL;DR: kill the barons first, lure the vile to you, don't rush to him, snipe the vile from corners.

[grommile]

I'm not sure if the hell master can resurrect like a regular arch vile, so if that's a problem, push the barons into the lava so that their corpses are lost.

He can certainly resurrect tomatoes.

[Deathwind]

I've noticed that if you don't go to hell's arena you get the old chained court, maybe that would be a better option for UV AoSh?
