Easy Angel of Death Kill Method!

(1/5) > >>

JustKillJill:
So as it turns out, here's a quick, slightly-luck based method for beating the Angel of Death. Works best as a Marine, albeit I first pulled this off playing Technician. Remember to get a 100% kill rate up to this point, in order to obtain Azrael's Scythe (play on HMP or higher difficulty!).

Begin thus;


1.) Obtain and SAVE as many phase devices as possible--especially the homing variant, up until Deimos.


2.) At Special Stage 7, the Spider's Lair, defeat all monsters and acquire the Nuclear Plasma Rifle (or obtain a Thermonuclear bomb or similar Nuclear item)


3.) At the stage preceding the Unholy Cathedral, do not take any God Mode power-up that appears. Protect said power-ups from explosions at all costs.

4.) Once the floor is clear, grab as many God-Modes as practical, and either run to the Red Stairs if they are close, or begin using phase devices until you get close enough to do so.

5.) Assuming you have ten moves worth of god-mode left when you enter Unholy Cathedral (Marine, again, extends power-up duration), immediately set off a nuke and use the wait command. This will kill everything on the level, including AoD (except you, if you're still in god mode), assuredly winning you Azrael's Scythe.


I've found that god-mode consistently appears on the level before UC appears. Could it be coincidence that they hand you a nuclear weapon on the bonus level just preceding this stage?

Eh. I prefer the Spear, simply because of the +4 armor you get with Angelic Armor. Plus the special attack doesn't hurt your HP.

Tormuse:
In my experience, Invulnerability doesn't usually appear on the level with the UC entrance.  I think you've just been getting lucky.

I think a much more reliable way to take out the AoD is to get Berserker trait.  The Chainsaw makes short work of him while you're berserk.  :)

Hear, hear. I did the UC just once, and it totally failed to impress me for precisely this reason.

Klear:
Please somebody get rid of the spoiler in the 3rd sentence of the OP. I had no idea how to get Azrael's Scythe before and I was hoping I'll figure it out myself =(

Also, nuking a level isn't excactly new.
