 Before him 179 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 160 of those were killed.
 1 of those was killed by something unknown.
 And 11 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
 Is he immortal? 7 souls claim to have killed him...
 1 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
 2 killed the bastard and survived.
 4 showed that it can outsmart hell itself.

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

You will have to forgive me, this is my first post. I've been playing quite a bit since I found DoomRL.

Recently, I've finished my first HMP game, and I've been practicing on that to move up to UV. Eventually.

In any case, I was having an exceptionally good run. Shotty focused to start since I started with Finesse, then going into ammochain once I got a good rapidfire weapon.

My goal was the assault cannon. You see, I had obtained the assault cannon from my first HMP success, but I had not used it extensively because I was running a Cateye build (note, the Mortuary was pretty damn easy with Int 2) and was more or less focused on using the assault rifle.

The idea would be that I would get lucky and snag a firestorm mod from the Armory. The armory didn't show up. The firestorm mod did.

The Assault Cannon is not a gun. It is an instrument of fully automatic murder.

Funnily enough, I used the modded plasma rifle more, but hell if that thing wasn't fun.

So, of course, since I finished the Arena and Chained Court, I had to pay a visit to the vaults. When I entered, I was notified of a unique. Of course, I didn't think too much of it, I was pretty well set for weaponry, the only thing I really wanted was a Nano Pack for Power Armor.

"Oh, but you should be interested," the RNG said to me. And then it sent angels down to hand me... the BFG10K. Who said the RNG doesn't love me?

So, that is now my new primary weapon, and I get to run around with it in joyful glee, cackling madly as I proceed to RUIN the shit out of everything that got in my way. My last victory was, sadly, not 100%. After all, I had gotten lucky with invulnerability and had chosen to nuke the Cyberdemon. What better way to celebrate my first victory at that level? Unfortunately, his boss summoned a few too many minions to achieve 100%. How irritating.

As such, I was resolute in making sure EVERY LAST demonic beastie had turned into a vague reddish smear, and focused myself upon this task.

"Ah, but what makes you think I liked you?" the RNG coyly asked, "Besides, in your glee to slaughter everything in your path, you had forgotten an important detail."

And then I got a Revenant rocket from out of nowhere, and I had a sad.

So, notes to self:

1) Even when you think you're doing awesome, be cautious and radar shoot if you are under doubt.
2) There is no excuse for not being fully healed. Ever. ESPECIALLY when you're dicking with revenants and mancubi.
3) The Assault Cannon is an instrument of fully automatic murder and I must treat it as such. By firing it with full chainfire upon anything that so much as twitches or looks like it might look at me in a vaguely funny way sometime in the future.

Tsk tsk, Star. You've hit one of my own hang-ups. DoomRL punishes hubris more harshly than any roguelike I've ever played.

Your graveyard is, in some ways, quite illuminating.

Damn, you really did take it from behind, and without lubricant, to boot (Sorry, couldn't resist making the joke, considering the position of the monsters and the fact that you were supposedly going to the third vault). Either way, it was a nice run, much better than mine when trying HMP.

Well, looks like a fun game while it lasted...  BFG10K + Ammochain = Muahahahaha!  :D

And yes, your graveyard is very interesting...  I have yet to find the "new way" of getting into the vaults in this version, but this seems to be a clue...

Sorry to spoil you the secret (Bah, it's not that it's like the DS, because it's on the wiki, anyways), but the easy way into the vaults is by using the AMS.

You don't sound very sorry... maybe they wanted to figure it out for themselves.

Are you serious? Man, now I feel bad. I kinda spoiled it pretty hard. But since the only thing that seems truly guarded is the Dragonslayer...

Meh, it's no biggie...  I kind of figured the AMS had some use beyond the more obvious one, especially in light of the fact that I keep seeing "Arena key" show up in other people's mortems.

Actually, it was full frontal, I heard them to the left, but wasn't EXACTLY sure as to the location. Which is why I said I should have been shooting.
