This is my first win in Doom RL 0.9.8.5, though I had once won in the previous version by sacrificing myself for the good of mankind. Because someone suggested (half-seriously I'm sure ;)) that nuking oneself is the work of cowards, well I sought to prove him wrong!

I was somewhat lucky to survive the last fight, as both my sets of armour were utterly destroyed after the preceding encounters, particularly with arachnotrons on level 24. Believe it or not, in the latter, I actually retreated in a safe spot and waited until all the dozen or so remaining arachnotrons had killed themselves by walking on lava! Here's a strategy for emergencies...

I can't begin to stress the usefulness of the three levels of Intuition I took. These traits are probably the main reason for my victory. Knowing where that precious globe of invulnerability is, avoiding blowing it up accidentally and picking it up to slaughter the hordes of arachnotrons around you is the difference between life and death. Using Intuition, I threw half a dozen rockets at the Cyberdemon before he could even reach me, then I overloaded my plasma gun, and finished him with the wonderful BFG (which, for once, I did not blow up in the Halls of Carnage). Rockets hurt the beast a lot.

I guess it's time for a Challenge game, isn't it? What do you recommend for a start: AoB or AoM?

Ugm:
Using Int3 makes the game quite boring ;) But it's not as easy as it seems (or it's just Ultra-Violence that is hard for me ;) ). I beated Cybie 3 times in ranged combat and never used Intuition at all (BFG was sufficient with its knockback and my Cateye2).

Anyway, AoM will be easier on upper levels and then will turn difficult, which is quite opposite to AoB challenge. It's hard to survive early, but as soon as you'll find certain undoomish (;) ) weapon, the game is actually finished.

BTW: You can use [ mortem ] tag for your mortem to display in coloured version ;)

Fingerzam:
I'd also recommend something else than AoM as your first challenge, while the beginning part is pretty easy, winning is pretty hard (only cowards use nukes...). But if you really want to give it a try, you should probably read this thread about AoM, and there's also my recent win mortem on AoM, though it was on beta 2 (those who have golden names can get their hands on it *wink*)

But really, you should probably try something else before AoM, like AoB.

Thank you! I always have known that playing AoM on UV difficulty is cowardness. I just had no chance to kill Cybie with pistols, because i wrongly picked perks that time. (I know i'm making excuses, but it's true!))

This wasn't aimed at you in any way. I was referring to the original post:

I have nothing against your UV AoM win, you're still the only one to have beaten AoM at all on 0.9.8.5, and got a full win the only way it's possible on AoM (yeah, well I haven't actually fought the final boss, but I'm pretty sure you can't kill him with pistols).
