[M|95%|YAVP] Skin of my teeth! (first win!)
« on: November 01, 2012, 11:00 »

Not played for a long-long time and only ever got so far, decided to go it a bit easier and go for Not Too Rough, this time I managed to pick up the Jackhammer on a pretty decent run, that thing is a BEAST.

The only big mistake I really made was using the Jackhammer in the Mortuary (my first visit there .... completely cleaned my shotty ammo out), when I should have probably just BFGd my way through - I shall be visiting there again!

Managed to take out the Cyby with dodgemaster and got the Cyberdemon head medal :)

Loving the new version with gfx! Just adds another layer of atmosphere to a great roguelike!

Goodness!  Sounds like you went on a rampage!  I don't think I ever had the chance to use the Jackhammer on any game; I think most of the time when I pick it up, I am on an AoMr run or something.

Good win!  Now win more!  =D

Oh it was a clean game with no hairy bits up until the mortuary... then it got really scrappy as I ran out of shotty ammo and only had nuclear plasma weapons and I had to dodge and hide a lot while they replenished ammo. Eventually I got some shottie ammo but I had to use it sparingly as the Jackhammer just sucks it up fast (though nothing EVER comes near you with the amount of knockback it does!)

Congrats on your first win! And extra congrats for completing the mortuary. Not easy on any difficulty.

No I ran from the Mortuary after killing a couple of the Viles - I just played through again and got there and managed to down 3 viles I think, then there were all sorts of creatures ressurecting left right and center, after about 40 arachnotrons I ran out of almost all ammo and just pegged it! I suppose the best tactic is to get the viles first but I didn't know how many there were!

There are 5 viles on HNTR, 6 on HMP and 7 on UV/N!

There is a nuclear BFG in the top right corner. That, along with the nuclear plasma from Spider's Lair, can greatly reduce your ammo dependency.

That said, the first couple of times I cleared the Mortuary was with a vampyre build, and it is arguably much more satisfying to clean it like that =)
