On this one I decided that Malicious Blades would be the only way to complete the Mortuary, and thus get the 80% kill rate that the badge requires. The really hard part about this one is that first level, since you get dumped into the deep end of the game with a very limited amount of gear. You have to be really lucky to get enough gear together on the first level to take on the AoD. For this game I found a chainsaw on the first floor, and bulk-modded it, along with making a ballistic red armor. That, along with the meager amount of medpacks I could scrounge together, and a zerk next to the stairs to the UC, were barely enough to get me through the fight with the AoD.
For the other special levels, I cracked the vaults with rockets, and got a lucky phase into the middle vault. The Mortuary was predictably brutal, but by clearing out the corpses with rockets I was able to eventually kill everything in there, and get the Angelic Armor that I would later use on JC. The Lava Pits weren't all that hard at all, since I used a phase early on and grabbed the Malek's Armor. Then, also due to a lucky Gothic Boots drop earlier, I was able to kill the revenants without much trouble. When I got to JC, he was only able to do 1 point of damage at a time, due to my 50% fire resistance and the 11 protection provided by the Angelic Armor. I killed him without very much trouble at all, since my DPS was so high due to Brute 5.
Notes on this game:
You have to be methodical, and clear out corpses with the rocket launcher. Expect to lose many, many times until you get a relatively forgiving first floor. One time I died before I could even take a turn, since I spawned next to two revenant-vile packs. After that, you have to just bring your best, and hope that it works.
