Well, best achievement so far! Nothing impressive, only level 17, but much better than my other characters!

Traits order, if I remember well, went: Reloader -> TaN -> Reloader -> Shottyman -> Hellrunner -> TaN -> Ironman -> Eagle Eye

I decided to go the Shottyman route, because I love the SSG, and it went pretty well, except because I ran out of shells and had to spend lots of plasma even in imps and skulls. However, the Emperor decided I was worthy, so he dropped lots and lots of plasma in my way, so much that I had to drop rockets and damaged armors to carry it all. In fact, so much plasma that I decided to get Eagle Eye to get some advantage of the situation.

But I think I offended Him when I entered the City of Skulls only armed with ~40 shells and lots of plasma, because things were from bad to worst from there. In the City I became surrounded by skulls (oh, suprise), which pierced two of my red armours and made me spend my 3 large med-packs and a small med-pack. I ran out of shells (again) and had to deal with Pain Elementals and skulls with my plasma rifle. Luckily, I survived, and I even got 2 (!) BFGs.

But without health packs, there wasn't much for me to do. I fried some arch-viles and barons with plasma on level 16 and encountered some more shells, but I was running out of armours and health. On level 17, lots and lots of Arachnotrons attacked me at once, so I decided to hide behind some pillars and let them come into melee so they would taste my SSG. Obviously, this cowardice made the Emperor even angrier, because while I killed 2 of those bastards, the other 4 were too far for my shotgun. Trying to survive a bit, I switched to the  plasma rifle and, after 2 or 3 volleys of fire I started running to a Large Health Globe that was like 3 or 4 spaces away. Can you guess if I succesfully picked it up or not? :P

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Stupid me, I didn't remember I had all those phase devices, and I thought I'd switch to the BFG once I had regained my health.

Well, at least I've learned some things:

* I have to look on my inventory more, because I tend to forget what I'm carrying.
* I hate Arachnotrons.
* I hate Arch-viles.
* The City of Skulls is a piece of $%·$.
* The Emperor likes plasma rifles (when I'm going for shotties :P).
* I hate Arachnotrons.

Wow, for not being even a YAVP, it's a long post. ;)

PS: Some advice for beating without much problems the City of Skulls?

You can look here for some help , and i agree to this guide. I once entered City of Sculls on Ultra Violence, and despite i survived, and won the game that time, i will never go there again. I spent all my cells on BFG there, and get nothing, because i destroyed almost all reward with BFG. But it's a good source of EXP.

I have now read the guide, thank you very much!

I guess next time I won't enter that stupid City unless I really need the exp (and I have lots of rockets to spend or a BFG:P)

On NTR it shouldn't be too hard with double shotgun and shottyman. Of course running out of shells makes I a bit problematic, but with enough shells you should be able to empty it without a big problem.
