A failed attempt at Elite Platinum, and my first time finding Azrael's Scythe.  It tempted me to turn this into a berserker game from how much ass I was kicking with it, but the game wouldn't let me get Vampyre, probably because I took a level in Eagle Eye early on.  I guess the Master trait blocking works both ways.

A curious thing I noticed was that the first level after I found the scythe, the enemies took longer to awaken...  a *lot* longer.  I ran around half the level, still berserk, cutting up monsters without them firing, moving or otherwise reacting to me and around the time the berserk ran out, is when they woke up.  Maybe it's just some bizarre coincidence, but it makes me wonder...  I know that Azrael's Scythe isn't fully documented on the Wiki; could this be some unknown feature of it that needs to be investigated?

In the end, I died in The Vaults, partly due to my unwillingness to fire rockets for fear of destroying the "something really valuable" there.  I found out at the last minute that it was Necroarmor, (my favourite armour, darn it!) so I needn't have worried, since it's indestructible, but what really killed me was my own greed...  I had just decided to destroy the Revenant bodies so that the Arch-Viles couldn't regenerate them, but I foolishly decided to pick up the rockets they dropped first.  I knew the last Archie was some distance away, but I didn't realize there was another Revenant around the corner.  If I hadn't needlessly exposed myself going out there to get the rockets, I would've survived.  I had almost 30 rockets; there really was no need!  *sigh*

for future reference, uniques can't be destroyed unless they're equipped and the target is gibbed.  they even survive nukes.  they can obscure lava though, be careful!

[raekuul]

Thank you for showing me one of the ways to crack open the middle vault, even if indirectly. *Tries tomorrow*

[Tormuse]

Oops!  Did I spoil something I shouldn't have?  Oh well...  Someone else spoiled it for me by posting it in their mortem too.  When you discover it, you can post spoilers in your mortem and the circle of life continues...  :P

Ah, okay.  I knew that Malek's Armor and Necroarmor are indestructible, but I didn't realize that applies to all uniques.  Good to know!
