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

I have been playing this game almost non stop for the past week or so and have finally claimed a win.  I decided to go with an Ammochain build, since the last time I played it, I felt almost invincible, but due to TERRIBLE luck, I got insta gibbed and died on 22 (shot by 2 Revenants and an Arch-Vile at the same time in one turn).  I had some pretty amazing luck on this run, which is unusual for me and any type of RL.

I came close to dying  a few times and instead of panicing like I usually do, I kept cool and got out of it.

I tried to do the Mortuary, since I had Ammochain and a super pimped out Plasma Rifle, tons of armor and health packs. It started off pretty good, I dropped an Arch Vile before I even got hurt and got out and killed another, but quickly got in WAY over my head and started to panic, shooting absurd ammounts of BFG shots, which had the down side of destroying the armor and powerups. I phased away to get some breathing room, and happened to land on the right side of the room to pick up the Nuclear BFG and ran in for some more. Things quickly started going down hill again, and I ended up using up all of my armor, and almost all of my med packs just to make it back to the stairs and flee (couldnt find the last Arch-Vile so I was getting rolled by Arachnatrons and Barons and such).

That made the next few levels PRETTY TENSE. And I even passed a level entirely, even though I REALLY wanted 100% kills. Then level 24 comes up, and I got a computer map, to see a beautiful, fresh, red armor clear on the opposite side of the map. I had a 24% green armor on and a 54% green in my inventory, so I attempted to make my way through the level to grab it, but after killing an Arch Vile, Revenant and a Mancubus, I was really nervious since I had 2 large and 1 small health pack and down to 4% on my green armor and could hear another Mancubus and see nothing but tight corridors and potential death traps and chickened out and decided to roll the dice with the Cyberdemon.

I put on my last bit of armor and pop a small med kit and descended to the final level. I immediately start moving towards the sounds, and almost run RIGHT into the face of the Cyberdemon. I blasted him once, he fires back and knocks me into a wall almost destroying my armor. The next couple of turns involved me trying to dodge his missles and fire at him when I had the chance, but it didnt go very well and I decided to overcharge the Nuclear BFG to at least try for a partial win. Then I realize that I have him almost dead, popped my last med kit, and just went all out and tried to kill him before the timer ran out. After he died, I swear I let out a squeal and jumped out of my seat, arms raised in victory!  \o/

Sorry for the wall of text, just really pumped about getting my first win (and second roguelike win ever).

[Game Hunter]

Welcome to the forums, and congratulations on your first win! I remember clearly the taste of my first victory, and it is very, very sweet.

Mortuary is a challenge, albeit one that requires both strategy going in and tactics finishing up. With Ammochain and the excesses of health, it's very possible to situate yourself on one side of the map and shoot into the distance until the corpses start to meld together (and thereby fewer enemies will respawn). Nuclear BFG is a great way to clear off the corpses, too, since you can let it sit in your prepped slot to regenerate ammo and go at it every 40 actions. Best way to kill off the packs involve rockets and BFG blasts, and so are the recommended weapons in the level.

Armor isn't quite as important as you think later on. Arch-viles deal a constant 11 damage (so yes, it can help to that extent) but Revs are 5d5 and Mancubi are something like 4d5x3 (with huge splash), which means that even red armor (which is in terms of pure damage reduction) only protects to a point. Better than that, make sure you have the speed to avoid the enemies getting off shots in the first place, or extra HP (Iro) to boost your chances of survival.

[StarStorm]

Congratulations!

Although, I do have a few questions: Why did you have three extra plasma rifles? With Ammochain, you really only need one (unless you're trying for an assembly), and the weapon holds less cells than an ammo stack.

Also, why didn't you use the regular BFGs? You could have stayed hidden behind the corner and let the splash damage do the work.

With whizkid, you could have slapped the bulk on one of the BFGs for another shot before reloading.

Either way, congratulations! Just a few thoughts to keep for your next game.

[Grishnak]

Thanks for the welcomes and thanks for the tips guys! :)

And Star, I was hoping for extra mods and its kind of a force of habit to grab every plasma rife I can.  As for the BFG's I honestly was so focused on just shooting him and trying not to instantly die because of low hp, that I didnt think of using the bfg's for anything but a nuke.  As for the other bulk, I kind of forgot I had it sitting in my inventory. :P

Your 100% was gone when you ran from the Mortuary.
