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

 Before him 16 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 11 of those were killed.

 1 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.


 Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
 Is he immortal? 4 souls claim to have killed him...
 2 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
 2 killed the bastard and survived.

I'm quickly racking up the deaths here, but it's all adding to my experience of melee so it's worthwhile. I've decided to go for Arena Diamond, but I don't know a specific strategy to get it that doesn't require some luck, hence the rapid deaths. This is about the closest I've got so far, and I knew that I would die, because I entered with 30% and no medpacks (and probably should've gone for Berserker Diamond instead), so it's a definite YASD. I think that if I had had decent health and medpacks, I would've had a chance here, but I'm not finding level 3 to be easy at all with the Hellknights, and it's hard to sneak past the middle of the map which I had to do to reach the Hell Arena stairs (had an open map again, and enemies in the middle of the map can see all the way to the top and bottom).

I would ask for tips but I think this is just one of those luck-based challenges that I'll have to persevere with until I get it.
