This game's difficulty is a bit off in places IMO
ZicherCZ:
Does rocketjump work on AoPc, with no weapons usage restriction? That's what Cheesybox is looking for, IIRC.
AlterAsc:
Oh. AoPc. AoP is Angel of Purity.
No, you can't rocket jump on AoPc. HR2, no reason not to take it.
@Klear
I'd say that passing HA on N! is 25% of successfuly completing N! game (unless AoB) because additional exp and RL makes really big difference. That difference is why i struggled so much with Ao100 where you don't get help from special levels.

Yeah, I figured that completing Hell's Arena is the boost that I need to finish a game on N!. I focus on Ao100 now to hone my corpse disposal skills (and indeed I feel I am probably ready to tackle the Arena by now). For some reason, I don't find the early game of Ao100 so difficult at this point. I had certainly more success with it than with passing the anomaly (which I managed only twice, IIRC, with the help of invulnerability). These days I mostly die 1) very early, by some stupid mistake or very bad luck, 2) in an arachnotron cave just before getting my build together, 3) on level 40+ through boredom. I'm still a long way from finishing an Ao100 n! game, but I'll keep on trying until I make it with the hope that standard n! game will be a relative walk in the park for me afterwards.
As for the Anomaly on AoPc, no idea then what's the best strategy, though I don't remember ever having too much trouble with it. I should give it a try again to remember. It's probably all about running like hell, like the rest of the challenge.
BTW, another useful tip for AoPc - it is often advantageous to move in the melee range of some enemies, since melee damage usually hurts a lot less.
Q2ZOv:
On AoPc you can usually easily pass anomaly because of berserk packs you got in CC. Souls on hntr can be a problem but I think that with two large globes and medkits at the start of anomaly they shouldn't be really dangerous.
Tormuse:
I just did a HNTR AoPc speedrun and I found the Lost Souls at the anomaly easy to deal with; I just stood still for a couple seconds and let the Cacodemons hit me. Their splash damage finished off all the Souls with just a couple of hits, and then I went through the door and closed it behind me so the Cacodemons couldn't follow. I found the Bruiser Brothers trickier to get past in comparison, but Dodgemaster was a big help there.
And on a side note, I was four seconds shy of getting Pacifism Gold. *sigh*

None of my friends nor the very small selection of nerdy relatives I have are willing to get past the first screen. Only one is even wiling to watch me dazzle and amaze as I snake past well memorized traps and tricks. The rest break down sobbing or launch into profanity. One couldn't even get past the map screen. It was brutal.

Just thought I'd let you know that I tried it out the other day and got as far as the third screen. (at impossible difficulty) Maybe I'll try it again some day. :)
