GH: Don't mind me, just fixing the tag.

My first win after years of playing.

I was originally only going for getting to the mortuary so I could get the third silver badge I needed to get my next rank. But I soon found myself in Phobos Arena.
Unfortunately I wasn't very prepared. I only had one ammo box of shells of 100, my tactical and double shotty. I had a missile launcher with sniper mod too, but only about 10 rockets.

Wasn't doing very well and only had about 6% life left so I said screw it and set off the nuke I found fairly early.

I was getting screwed on health for most the game. I only ever had 3 small med kits and 1 large in my pack when I entered the arena.

Where can I find some tips for taking out the cyber demon in the event that I ever get there again.

It sure was satisfying finally getting to hear Motorhead's "Hellraiser" Which I set as the victory music when the game was over.

 126 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 112 of those were killed.
 3 of those were killed by something unknown.
 2 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
 And 8 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 1 souls destroyed the Cyberdemon...
 1 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.

On a side note, any tips for taking out the Shambler? I encountered him in the armory a few games ago and was taking double shotty hits at him but just couldn't get him down.

[Thexare]

Yeah, here's a Shambler tip: unless you have MAD, don't use shotguns on him. His armor and regen combined make him almost impossible for shotguns to take out.

On the plus side, with MAD he falls really easily, and all other weapons do pretty well.

[rchandra]

for fighting the cyberdemon with ranged weapons:

keep dodging until he shoots.  shoot him until he reloads, a bit more if you're fast.  repeat.  Hellrunner or especially Dodgemaster trait, or running tactics will greatly help with avoiding his shots, but make sure you're moving properly in any case!  If you need to reload slowly, try to duck behind a pillar.
with a BFG you can probably just brute-force him.
with exceptional accuracy (sniper or AoMC) you can shoot him from out of his range.
phase devices are good to get away so you can use medpacks in peace (techinicians won't need that, but it also works for reloads)

Disclaimer: I haven't fought him in 0.9.9.4, so it's entirely possible that AI alterations make some of this not work.

and congratulations on the first win!  I'm surprised it was Haste, I found the base game and several other challenger easier than Haste :)
