I was just not prepared for facing this... Mentally, mostly, because in hindsight, I had enough ways to save myself. Shotgun box, missile launcher, napalm launcher, running into the lava in hope that demons will kill themselves.
I managed to kill most with shotgun and pistol, teleported around some with staff and phase, but it was just a little not enough...

On the plus side, I was able to advance so far with a very poor luck in drops. Probably only really good thing I found was combat pistol. I was thinking about what to do with it, even considered throwing it away, but then made a stormbolter and realized that best thing in this gun is it's huge clip. Also, triggerhappy works with it, so I had triple burst in 0.085 or so seconds. So, everything was effectively timefrozen while I was shooting - until it's time to reload.

Also, fire resistance was indeed a life saver. Saved my life for sure numerous times. I had to remind myself that I am not, in fact, invincible. And was really curious about what can actually kill me. At last, I got an answer:) Well, whatever kills you makes you stronger. I will be better prepared next time.

Not switching to Tactical Armor at the start of the level is what killed you, I think. Cerberus phaseshift gives a 5% net drop in movespeed, A-modded Tac Armor gives 30% improvement. I don't think the 30% melee resist was worth it. You would have moved significantly faster than the demons, giving you a lot more time to deal with them. Hyperblaster would have probably been better than the assault shotgun, reloading those things takes forever without reloader.

[tylor]

Well, that too. There were not much space where to run, and demons were literally everywhere, but probably I could run in circles.
But mostly, I was just not familiar enough with such particular type of monsters, and too adrenaline-striked to stop and think thoroughly, read their wiki entry, look hard at my inventory, etc.

[Evilpotatoe]

I tought cerberus armor ms malus was always -30%... let me guess, it's *original* -30% ?

I'll have to try it now :D  I love cerberi toys, but the ms malus is soooo annoying.

Also, I probably never saw an armor under -30% (put gothic aside :p) is it capped, or do I just not pay enough attention ? I remember making cerberus with red and blue armors (a long time ago... when I was young and inexerimented :p), and I think the ms was only -30%

[tylor]

Cerberus has a lot of fixed stats, irrelevant to base armor. Speed, protection, acid/fire/plasma are all fixed.
So, best bet is to make it from something like duelist, or onyx. But phaseshift one also has 30 melee/shrapnel/bullet res, and give set bonus with phase boots. Too bad I found no phase boots. And only duelist armor I have seen that run was picked up by sergeant, that subsequently drown in lava. Bastard.

You had Enviroboots. You could clear this level without touching any weapon.
