I was expecting this Diamond badge to be more difficult than it was, mostly because I heard that there were plans to get rid of the ability to farm Pain Elementals for health and berserk in Vampyre games. Since you can still do that in this version, I'd say it's one of the easier Diamond badges to achieve!
I played it safe, not entering most of the generated levels, including Hell's Arena, although, I did go into the Mortuary because I happened to have a nuke and there was an invulnerability next to the entrance. :) I had three envirosuits when I got to the Lava Pits, and the Lava Elemental conveniently spawned three squares away from me, so I had a fairly easy time of it.
I wasn't sure whether or not I would still be able to use strategies such as wall-busting or juggling melee weapons and still have it count as a fists-only game, so I played it safe (again) and just stayed with using my fists for the whole thing. (I didn't miss my other weapons, really) I only kept the rocket launcher around so I could get credit for the assembly with it. :)
There was an invulnerability on the second-last level, so I could have gone for the full win, but I'm not sure what to expect with the new JC and I didn't want to jeopardize my Diamond by getting fewer than 100% kills, so I decided to play it safe (thrice!) and just kill the Mastermind hand-to-hand and claim her brain. :)
One more thing that's kind of funny: I still haven't unlocked Angel of Over Confidence, because I haven't achieved enough Bronze Badges! :P
