This time I decided to test a different build - Ammochain. I also approached the Mortuary differently. As soon as I got there I started spamming BFG shots into the nearest Vile, then switched my weapons (I had two BFGs - one from Spider's Lair, I think) and emptied that as well. Then I teleported away (homing phase device) and went in with an unending supply of shots from my plasma rifle.  Worked like a charm. In addition, I did get the AA this time since there weren't too many monsters revived.

I decided not to pull any levers in Hell's Armory, remembering how I was obliterated last time I did. I did save the file before going there, and decided to replay a couple of times just to see what I get. What should I say - there is more than one surprise on that level! A Supercharge globe? In that spot? Bravo, Kornel! (Actually, Quake has an invulnerability ring there...)

[Tuomari Jim]

I also use this very strategy quite often as it makes the Mortuary seem like a walk in the park - at least on HNTR. Flaming plasma death - that's what's for dinner.

[Nameless]

Spamming BFG one way and then slowly infinite plasma-ing back the other is the only way I've managed to clear the Mortuary at all. Now I'm curious as to how ELSE you've managed to clear it.

[thelaptop]

The answer is Berserk and charging at 'em until you kill 'em all or die trying!

Note that if you do it the melee way, you would have the LS by then...

[Deathwind]

back in 0.9.9.1 I cleared it with a pair of power modded pistols with the hell staff escape plan (AoMr)

I've posted it here a week or so ago - look for "Mortuary" and "no reward". That time, I used Cateye, immediately teleported to the stairs and slowly worked my way in. Lured bigger enemies (those not killed in one volley from a chaingun) toward me, knocked back Viles with missile launcher, etc. Easy, but tedious.
