Apostle?
« on: May 18, 2011, 04:42 »
To achieve Apostle rank:
 -- kill 3 Apostles
Who are those Apostles???
JC is not an Apostle, right?

Pfft. It's ridiculously luck based, meaning there probably won't be anyone getting it anytime soon. :P

Thing is... we don't know. One or two people that have access to the code itself might be aware of specifics but they are sworn to secrecy. Some of us have our own theories but no proof so far. I heard Ao100 might giver away hints in recent versions, but not having beaten it I can't tell for sure.

Alright, people. We need to do some testing.

Let's try nuking the last level of Ao100 while invincible and nuking JC while invincible.

The thing is that the most probable ultimate ending is actaully th abscense of any. It's the easiest to code, and it's the funniest to implement. Think of it - Kornel created a worthless unique, and now sit there and laughs at everybody who is speaking about the ultimate ending. When we had JC, even the fact of his existance was carefully hidded, and the were no references to him in game. When we had a secret unique dragonslayer, we had no clues about it's existance in game. Now what we have - a reference to it in game, and even in the versions history. I don't know the truth, but it sounds too much like there is actually no special ending, and everything is just a joke of the developers.

I was going to post something to the effect of 'We're just screwing with you', but I see that's been covered.

So instead I'll say that you can get him on any challenge or non-challenge mode.

I'll add that the path to it is paved with DoomRL secrets and Almighty God Hand's private favourites.

That's odd. Including A100?

To have Apostles rank quest you must have those conditions:
 Experience rank : Cyberdemon
 Skill rank      : God Hand
So, now i've got this rank but i don't know what to do.
Maybe it should be Ao100 with fists, maybe nuke 100 lvl, maybe  pacifist, maybe again a Ao100 UV 100% run.
Can anyone give me the difficulty, and the challenge that should be used to find this Apostle, and of course the weapons or should i nuke the last lvl? :)

No. Experience and skill ranks are independent of each other, not to mention:
