-- General ---------------------------------------------------

 Before him 3222 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 3046 of those were killed.
 20 of those were killed by something unknown.
 50 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
 And 93 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
 Is he immortal? 13 souls claim to have killed him...
 1 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
 12 killed the bastard and survived.

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

After several stupid deaths finally managed to pull this one off! Despite (or because of?) the unrelenting tension I had a real blast. I went for an ammochain build in order to save inventory space for all the supplies I would need such as enviro-packs, arena masters's staff, chainsaw and such.

I always have a difficult time in the early game of an ammochain build... ironically I almost exclusively use combat shotguns and rocket launchers until I get ammochain. An assault rifle would solve my accuracy problems but in a UV game by the time you get 3 agility mods you already have a plasma rifle to pimp out.

Of course once I hit ammochain with an A2 plasma rifle things became much simpler. I found a ton of mods over the course of the game and managed to make some really sweet gear, including that huge unwieldy BFG and a power-agility-bulk modded red armor that lasted me from the mid game until the mortuary. My first bulk and two power mods went straight onto my chainsaw to ensure that I would have a double chainsaw for the Angel of Death. With that thing and berserker trait the unholy cathedral didn't stand a chance.

The deadliest moment in the run occurred in the lava pits. I had only found one enviro-pack the entire game, and despite coasting in with invincibility i wasn't able to make it all the way across before it ran out. Within one turn I was at 40% health, standing on lava with no protection with 2 revenants sizing me up, so I crossed my fingers and used a phase shift. The shift did get me out of harms way but it stuck me on one of the islands on the left side of the map, with no environment packs and surrounded by lava. I did have a homing phase but I was so dead set on getting this badge I would rather have died than give up. I spent several dozen turns firing my plasma rifle off screen in hopes of softening/killing the revenants and I was discouraged because I couldn't hear any pain screams but it seems that they were just too far away to hear. Ran across the whole field of lava burning a good portion of my large medpacks and there was only one seriously wounded revenant left. Once I got to the nearest enviro-pack I was set, and the lava elemental went down without a hitch.

The silliest moment in the game happened at the very end. I was confident enough to want to try for a full win for the first time ever, but I didn't know if the nuclear BFG nuke was immediate or not... instead of looking it up on the wiki I just used the lava element and triggered the nuke only to find that it was indeed timed. Doh! In the 10 seconds before the nuke went off I went ballistic on the Cyberdemon with my uber BFG for the standard win.

Anyway, woohoo! Sorry if the wall of text is a little excessive. god DAMN this game owns.

Anyway, woohoo! Sorry if the wall of text is a little excessive.

No apologies needed!  A good victory deserves some text to go with it.

Congrats on a well-played run, especially after that huge all-in at the Lava Pits.  Platinum never tasted so sweet!

I notice that you took Brute a bit later than I'm usually comfortable with; I'm always afraid that I won't get enough XP to get Berserker before the Unholy Cathedral.  Do you remember how far along you were when you finally got Berserker?  Typically I go for Juggler ASAP, so that slows down my usual MAc build compared to yours.

[BirdoPrey]

I don't remember exactly when I got berserker but I remember having a couple floors to spare. To be honest I wasn't totally banking on getting it, I figured if worse came to worse the double chainsaw, a couple points in brute and lots of healing would get me through it. Maybe I'm totally wrong about that, in which case I lucked out.
