This was one hell of a game. I knew that I had gotten hammered throughout the game, but apparently I got the Iron Skull. On AoHu. The only reason that I survived at all was that for the early part of the game I had a steady stream of red armors and power mods. Also, I got spammed by large medpacks. For quite a few levels I would find 4 or 5 large medpacks, 2 to 4 small medpacks, about 3-4 small health orbs and 1-3 large orbs or zerk packs.
I would have never done the UC without having found both a hatred skull on level 14 and the shielded armor on level 13. While zerking and wearing the shielded armor, the AoD could only do 1 point of damage to me per hit. It was rather stupid of me to ditch the chainsaw if I had any idea about doing the UC, but I managed to get through it with a chainsword. I went into the level zerked and invulnerable, and I blew through the lost souls and demons while invulnerable. The invuln ran out about halfway through my fight with the AoD, and the zerk three quarters of the way through. However, since I had that hatred skull, I grabbed more zerk time to finish the battle with.
For quite a while throughout this game, I thought that I would have to settle for second best and not get a full win. I went into the Mortuary to try to get the Nuclear BFG so that I could nuke the Cyberdemon, but a Mancubus blew it up while I was 2 squares away from it. Cursing all the mancubi that had stolen items from me throughout my time in DoomRL, I went on a rampage and cleared out the Mortuary. To do it, I swept from the right to the left while firing my BFG, and I cleaned up individual enemies with my HP Plasma rifle. Any left-over corpses received a rocket from my Revenant's Launcher. I didn't run out of ammo because I had a massive amount of plasma when I went into the Mortuary, and I kept having to re-kill Commandos, so I could pick up more plasma there.
On level 24 I found a nuke, and so then I decided to go for a full win. I also found an invuln near the stairs to Level 25, and so I grabbed that and ran down and nuked the Cyberdemon. Then, I had the Lava Element left for JC. I quickly ran to the right of the map while on the remnants of the invuln that I nuked the Cyberdemon with, and I took a rocket right as the invuln was about to run out. I activated the lava element and gunned JC down before he could react or summon more enemies. Good thing too, since I was out of health packs by that time.
Some notes from this game:
Revenant-only levels are almost guaranteed death if you don't have a timely invuln globe. The same goes for Arachnotron levels.
Marine is really good for this challenge because it allows you to take Ammochain, which in turn frees up a lot of your inventory for more medpacks and armors. Also, the increased powerup duration is critical, since zerks and invulns are what's going to keep you alive.
It wasn't as hard as I thought to go through the entire game without Badass. Make no mistakes, it was hellishly difficult (pun intended), and for about half the game I thought that I would be dead in a moment. What I found is that speed and tactical defense are far more important than having more endurance, since Ironman gives you a pitiful amount of extra health. I'm not denigrating it though, and I took 5 levels of it.
Also critical is having a consistent source of knockback. My standard tactic for dealing with nearly every late-game enemy is to knock them back out of my sight range, so they can't fire at me. Another important source if damage reduction is sheer offensive might, since it's harder for them to attack you if you cut them down with plasma first.
Another tip is to play AoHu like you would play AoMc, except if only your enemies had the maxed damage. Make sure that you don't get hit whenever possible, but when you have to, try to get knocked back into cover, and avoid lava like the plague.
Inventory management has to be very different for this type of game. I would recommend that you carry 4-5 armors, 2-4 power or bulk packs for the armors, 4 stacks of ammo, one stack of rockets, and everything else is medpacks or phases. By the end of the game, I would have dearly loved to have had those extra medpacks and phases that I should have taken with me. Feel free to experiment your inventory, and tell me if anything works better.
Also, does the iron skull count pre-armor, pre-zerk, pre-invun damage, or does it only count the actual damage that you take? I know that for almost the entire game, I was running from one health globe to another.
Final Notes:
For this game, you need a massive amount of luck. I barely managed to get through this challenge, and I found fifteen invulnerability globes throughout the game. Also, take this one slowly, and think about what you are doing. My normal game time is 45-60 minutes for a UV run, so taking that extra 20 minutes really helped me out, as I was able to make fewer dumb mistakes.

Game Hunter:
There really aren't any words I know that can describe the magnitude of this run's victory over DoomRL as a whole. I mean sure, there are runs that simply require a "fair" amount of luck and a ton of know-how, but this sounds like one of those one-in-a-million games. Most people burn them on Pacifism Diamond instead, but to have the willpower to perform this on AoHu instead is astonishing.
I guess I will just point out the stuff that is particularly impressive:
He played for 1 hour, 19 minutes and 33 seconds.

You'd STILL have to be moving along rather quickly to get this kind of score, especially with the 90%+ kills. I suppose I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of this came from later levels rather than earlier ones (that is, having the equipment necessary to take down anything can be done faster than early-game killing of relatively easier groups). I bet Mortuary added a good 400-500, in fact.

Normally I'd consider stopping by all of the levels for the Explorer badge would be difficult enough, but you almost finished ALL of them. In fact, you DID finish all of them, but I think there was some respawning that prevented some levels from being considered "complete". I'm actually considering disabling respawns in N! special levels...but making them a whole lot harder to compensate. (Think nightmare enemies.)
The Iron Skull is just ridiculous. I'm not sure you should have gotten it...I mean we're talking about 10000 damage. Your health at the end of the game may have something to do with it: invulnerability, in addition to making you immune to all sources of damage, constantly restores your HP to 100% if it's lower, so there may be something suspicious going on with that. Either way, you probably deserve it, even if you only took a tenth of that.

That sounds like the luck you'd need to survive "from one health globe to another".
It's a shame you weren't able to make use of the sniper pack, 100% accuracy can really come in handy. (That's 100% even outside of your field of vision, by the way. No shot will go wasted!)
I had no idea this was something even attainable. Maybe N!, with the double health and powerups, is actually easier than UV when it comes to the harder challenges? I think I need to sit down...
