 140 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 136 of those were killed.

 4 souls destroyed the Mastermind...
 3 killed the bitch and survived.
 1 showed that it can outsmart hell itself.

--------------------------------------------------------------

So seeing as how DoomRL has a nice Berserk subtext I thought it'd be fun to play a Guts-themed runthrough.  Obviously, this meant a melee-focused game though I allowed a shotgun to take the place of Guts' Cannon Arm.  This gun then evolved into a rocket launcher, and from there into the Biggest Fucking Gun which I can't help but think is appropriate.  Other than that Guts is obviously a Marine, and just as obviously not a Vampire.  I found an onyx armor in the teens which I used to assemble power-modded cerberus onyx armor, which was much, much, much better than even the unique armors I found.  I found two nano packs burned one for grav boots (of course), and was saving the other in case I could assemble some interesting cybernano armor... but honestly, I doubt anything could top cerberus onyx [2]. 

The low point the game came around level sixty when I found the Dragonslayer... and couldn't pick it up.  Apparently my Guts runthrough was not impressing gravity.  Didn't it see what my name was?  I have no idea what else to say about this except that if this character can't pick up Dragonslayer, nobody can.  I don't even.

Which brings me to my next point:  Dragonslayer wasn't needed as this build is completely, utterly, totally overpowered.  Once I got my hands on modded cerberus armor around level thirty every subsequent level and encounter was identical, and towards the end more than a little boring.  See pack:  charge pack:  berserk:  mass murder.  I don't think I ever shot the BiggestFG in earnest -- only while screwing around.  95% resist of all the common late-game damage (with 5 armor on top) made it impossible for me to die.  I even let myself get down to ~12% health a couple times just to see what it was like.  I went entire levels without looking at my health while being constantly shot by Mancubi, Revenants, and Viles.  It got real dull.

Anyway, as for other thoughts I learned pretty quickly that level five was the make-or-break point for this character.  I could pass the first four levels pretty consistently, but around ~75% of the time level five would come up with a way to just completely screw me, like flanking me with imp-and-knight spawns or tossing a knight-filled maze where it was real hard to dispose of corpses.  After level 10 the game stabilized as, oddly enough, it was much easier to fight a small number of hard enemies than a large number of weak ones, again mostly due to corpse disposal.  After that, it was fairly smooth until level thirty or so at which point I either had onyx armor or I did not.  If I did, the game continued.  If I did not, I would slowly run out of medkits. 

I dunno, fun enough.  I do not think I will be attempting this again.

Unless the requirements have changed for this version, any character can pick up the Dragonslayer. At the risk of saying too much: the secret is so simple your hand will go out the back of your head from facepalming.

I've heard that being able to pick it up is completely deterministic and reproducible.  Maybe I shouldn't be saying this, but my testing seems to contradict this...  *leaves mysteriously*

by the way, someone said that trying to pick up the Dragonslayer is reflected in the mortem, or at least is intended to be reflected, while I see him trying, and no entry in the mortem reflecting he found.

I didn't mean it's shown in the mortem, I meant that it gets added to the found uniques list on the player pages, meaning that you can get the armorer badges without knowing how to wield it.
