I just found a bug/limitation of the engine that makes permanently clearing a level on Nightmare! possible: water.
I pulled a water lever and flooded the entire level with water. Corpses disappear/don't appaear on water tiles so enemies killed on water never respawn :D

Wow, bows before DaEezT!! I knew it, but haven't realized, that i can use switches to such deed! Then Intuition level 2 anyway is most required perk in Nightmare! I need to try it! Only one problem - imho, later levels rarely have levers, that floods level with water, generally they floods it with lava or acid.

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

Stupid respawning pain elementals crated a zillion souls and there was a huge room filled with acid in the middle of the level :/
On level 2 I killed two captains and then kept spawncamping them till I reached level 4 (they drop ammo) . After that I moved on. Tan(3) worked well agains commandos and captains with their auto fire but Im is defenitely more important.

Another thing came to me while playing. Maybe one should focus on chaingun/plasma on nightmare because you can 'harvest' them by spancamping humans. Of course the cells can be used for the BFG later but imo it could be a good idea to ignore rockets.

But I think it's possible to win Nightmare! if you a) spawncamp as much as possible early on to gain all the useful traits and b) take at least brute(2), berserker(1) and kill the angel for the spear. I killed the Angel with only that in my last AoD game.

I tried a combination of Soab/Ee/Reloader to make the chaingun more useful but I'm not sure how much it really helped. Tan(3) is defenitely very useful since you'll never be able to explore the entile level to look for armor. Im is not needed right from the start because meds heal double like they do on ITYTD. Apart from that it's pure luck really :p

That's why it is good to have Intuition: to always know, what is behind next door.

Here are a few ideas/theories from me:

1. You'll only be able to level up until you reach dlvl 10 at which point AVs are likely to show up. Killing things after that will be almost impossible because of the huge number of though monsters. Even using rocket launcher and BFG won't help. Both have a low per slot ammo count and both destroy items on the ground around the monster. In addition all the late game monsters have splash as well so collectiong ammo won't be an option and they don't drop any items either.

2. You can level up as long as your patience lasts on dlvl 2! On dlvl 2 the only monsters are humans, sergeants, captains, imps, demons and souls. All except the demons die from one chaingun attack (5 hits) and humans and captains drop ammo so you can just keep on spawncamping till you reach a high enough level.

3. The only realistic victory option is the Spear because it's overpowered :p

4. If N! works like all the other difficulties then Cybie and AoD shouldn't be any tougher so the main problem is suriving the normal levels.

5. Angel of Haste might actually be the ideal way to beat N! (or AoH the ideal way to beat N! :p). Normally you need to find 23 exits to reach cybie (level1 is easy so it doesn't count). AoH halves that but you can still spawncamp on dlvl 3 and the toughest enemies there are a few cacodemons (really only a few).


Observations:

- Enemies don't respawn if you or another monster stand on their corpse.
- Corpses are 'swallowed' by water (see my earlier post)


Hints:

Humans (all kinds) and knights/barons are easy to control because they like guarding levers/items and the later is easily 'created' by killing a few humsn a dozen times or so.


My personal target build for N! is:
Ironman (3)
Tough as nails(3)
Hellrunner(3)
Brute(2)
Berserker(1)
Total level: 12
The idea is to kill the AoD and then just finish off Cybie with 2 hits.

I'll also give AoH on N! a try now.

AoH halves that but you can still spawncamp on dlvl 3 and the toughest enemies there are a few cacodemons (really only a few).

Hmm, read once more my first post in this topic. There i said that AoH's first level is dlvl 2. On dlvl 2 there are only humans, imps, demons and lost souls. And if you take a look at my first mortem once more, you will see that 10th level is possible to reach there.

Some hints that i can make after dozens of deaths while leveling on dlvl 2:
Once you spawned, first you objective is to find chaingunner and kill him 3 or more times to get enough ammo. At this time try to avoid demons as long as possible, they die only after 5-7 hits of your pistol. Collect every medikit you see. Leave health globes for worse times(when you will have approx 20% hp). I have noticed that usefull items very often are placed near barrels, so don't be lazy, move barrels out of globes. I haven't found shotgun usefull here, because to not loose health you must snipe enemies, and with shotgun it is not possible. When you got chaingun, the easiest exp is demons. They don't fire and they grants maximum exp among monsters on dlvl 2(exceps lost souls, but lost souls disappears after death, so no spawncamping can be used on them). And they can kill you only if you make a really stupid thing, or it they are more than 2.

Observations:

- Enemies don't respawn if you or another monster stand on their corpse.
- Corpses are 'swallowed' by water (see my earlier post)

Two more things to add:
- Monster's bodies are not disappearing if a barrel placed on them. They only swap to each other.
- Monster's bodies disappeares if on already existing corpse dies another monster. And then ressurects only last died monster.

My personal target build for N! is:
Ironman (3)
Tough as nails(3)
Hellrunner(3)
Brute(2)
Berserker(1)
Total level: 12

I'd like to add that imho if you are playing with chaingun and plasmagun, then you must use Eagle Eye level 2, because it allows you to remain coward all the time, and this can save your life.

I goddamn hate it that even those stupid imps can destroy items with their splash. I just died because two berserk packs and one small health globe got destroyed by the imp/knight .....

and my scoreboard now looks like this

N 131960DaEezT        (L:9), killed by a lost soul on L6.
U 122606DaEezT        (L:11), killed by a Cyberdemon on L25.

L6 N! run is #1 and L25 UV run second :p

Umm... I think that the AoD kill option is off... the trigger mechanisms for all special levels are "All Killed", and not "Given Enemy Killed :/

too bad. Apart from the imba Spear it also kinda makes the whole melee approach less useful, which is sad because the chainsaw really works well early on. But beating cybie with only 4d6 + brute and no extra armor... :/

Maybe I'll max out the defensive skills on my next try (only level9) and take Saab/Ee after that to help a bit with the chaingun and drop melee for now.

Three AVs hunted me down. The inv. globe I saw was destroyed by their attack and even the three large meds where useless because i was doen to 10% after two steps...

I just came into an idea of destroying UC with a thermie. Is it possible? What about corpses? Do they appear after this small armageddon?

Another observation:

- Resurrection time seems to depend on monster toughness. I had to wait just a while for former human to resurrect, but Cacos or Knights were too lazy to respawn often (and I didn't want to move far away from their corspes ;) ).
