Clearing UC, even on N! is surprisingly consistent. Naturally you still need berserker trait to even stand a chance while exchanging hits, but if you have level 1 HR + Scout it's easy to squeeze in free hits on the AoD. With 1 HR, Scout and green armor I find that I can get consecutive free hits the most while berserked by making the AoD fall into a pattern of 1. Take steps back until he steps along with you twice in a row 2. Hit him (you shouldn't get hit at this point) 3. Back to 1. It seems finicky with other armors equipped but even with a red armor you can score free hits (and if you have a red armor you can afford to take more hits anyway). The drawback of this approach is that you're almost guaranteed to run out of berserk time by the next level, but who cares, you have the longinus spear! Usually I only need some type of armor and 1 large med-pack to do UC with the combat knife. If you have a bulk/power mod I honestly would save it for a red armor.

It's really hard to decide on getting Int before or after getting MBm though, by going this route I had to get lucky a few times running into powerups, but thanks to getting the master trait first it helped me clear some nasty spawn points as I entered a level, where I'm not so sure even Int2 would have helped. Also, it helped me to go for offensive traits earlier so that there's less situations where I'm forced to retreat from enemies and lower my kill %.

As you can see I got 94%, but that was inflated by a pain elemental cave, but you can just play carefully and get >80% without pain elementals. I had blademaster by the time I could enter the mortuary, but I didn't need to go there to get Daredevil Diamond, so I passed. :)

This is probably one of the easier diamond badges (or less luck dependent). It's definitely a fun challenge, and also good practice for dealing with tough monsters on N! and UC right away. I did die a lot, but 90% of the deaths were in the first level or right after UC if I ran out of health packs.
