[M|99%|YAFW] Either I'm getting better, or...
« on: March 04, 2012, 14:22 »

...0.9.9.6 is easier than 0.9.9.5 ;) This is only my second win at DoomRL ever, and as you can see from the bottom of the mortem, the first one was the previous game. I only missed out on 100% thanks to one last pesky JC summon hiding from me. I know it's a bit self indulgent to post in this kind of situation, but it is a bit exciting...

(I suspect it's the former, and 0.9.9.6 is no easier - in fact, Arch-Viles do seem a tiny bit more horrible in this release - but all this means is that I should probably start playing on a "real" difficulty level like HMP now...)
I did have pretty damn good luck in this game, with both a Trigun and a Grammaton Cleric Beretta turning up, and my first ever set of Malek's Armour (even if I did have to wait to the Lava Caves for it).

 2 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:

 2 souls destroyed the Mastermind...
 1 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
 1 showed that it can outsmart hell itself.

I only missed out on 100% thanks to one last pesky JC summon hiding from me.
Are you sure about this?  I think killing JC is supposed to kill all of his summons in this version.

Read the last line of the mortem. I assume that the Arch-Vile it mentions was still around at the time the game completed, otherwise it's odd that it was mentioned.
(It's always possible I missed something somewhere else, but I certainly don't remember exiting a level before the level name went blue.)

The last line of the mortem has been being a bit weird, I think it was one of 2DeviationsOut's mortems that had 'The pain elemental hits you." at the end. Someone also mentioned theirs saying "you pick up the medpack" or something like that. Either way, JC's death does kill his summons, so you must have left one pesky enemy behind D:
All in all, a good run - and damn, an A1P3 nuclear plasma rifle!

There is a bug with mortem reporting something odd as the last line. Besides, if there was an Arch-vile alive, it would show on the screenshot.

Uh-oh, no, JC's death doesn't kill the summons. But wait, JC can summon Vs?!

Killing JC should kill his summons, it wasn't included in the changelog by accident.

I've never heard of JC summoning Vs, especially on HNTR.

There's a weird glitch right now that reports the very first line in your message buffer as the last line in the mortem. Based on some testing, it doesn't have any bearing on the game stats, so I wouldn't worry about it other than its weirdness.

JC's summons are actually independent of difficulty. But no, he doesn't spawn Arch-viles at all, and yes, killing him automatically kills everything else on the level (except for you of course).

Maybe you missed something in the Chained Court. I often end up forgetting some enemies there.
