 Before him 42 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 31 of those were killed.
 2 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
 And 2 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...
 3 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
 2 killed the bastard and survived.
 2 showed that it can outsmart hell itself.

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

Going for Strongman Silver, this meticulously levelled Vampyre, carrying a chainsword and two nukes, had a perfect kill rate when I got to level 24. Running into a mancubus and an arch-vile at the edge of my view, I decided to run for the stairs, leave a little present, and descend to face Cybie. (Why the kill count doesn't reflect the nuking is beyond me.)

With two red armors at 100%, a dozen big med packs, and a nuke, the worst that could happen was a partial win. As soon as I saw Cybie, I ran into melee range, and proceeded to carefully take him down. When he tore my red armor to shreds, I took a med pack, slipped into another red armor, and continued, keeping an eye on my health at all times. I was certain I could take another whack, when Cybie hit me, ruined my second red armor, hit me again in the same turn, and helped himself to my intestines.

Why, oh head-desking why, hadn't I set off that nuke?



Then, another run, in which another meticulously levelled near-Vampyre on unnecessarily low health daintily skipped 'round a corner on level 18, and was greeted by two imps' fireballs and a mancubi rocket.

Fuck this game.



Then, the third run, in which an absolutely unprepared and utterly careless foot-slogger, decided to just bash into everything on the shortest path to the down stairs...

...and found a lucky computer map which revealed a nuke, and invulnerability globes scattered all over the lower levels. Which lasted long enough to pick Cybie apart with an unmodded combat knife.

This was absolutely the most undeserving attempt at Strongman Silver ever. I never even got a knife until level 9. I waltzed through the Halls of Carnage just to get the Supercharge, and leave. I accidentally entered the Lava Pits because I was invulnerable and didn't read the stairs' description. I could've gotten another Compet-n Silver Cross with ease, and I might've used those homing phases to get a Major Icarus Cross. Had I cared.

But I'll take that Strongman Silver, thank you.

Downing Cybie with a combat knife and earning the Cyberdemon's Head in the process - thats epic!

Congrats!
