You pull the lever... The floor explodes into lava! (sigh)

Yep, had a moment of nostalgia. Perhaps, reading this, will eventually return to playing DoomRL.

Hall of Carnage on AoPc without a homing phase isn't QUITE an instadeath. I've done it several times, it just really sucks trying to get a sargent to shoot down the second door. I'd still claim it's easier and less luck dependent than brick silver...

Evilpotatoe:
Brick silver doesn't seem THAT random to me : IIRC, AoB, arena gives a homing phase, right ? So, in a few retries, it must be quite easy to get it.

But I agree it still requires clearing the arena, and getting one lucky phase device to get behind the wall, but then, with zerk, I think it's not that hard... I already did it in my earliest games... too bad I wasn't angel of anything, and didn't got this stupid badge.
But y, for a silver one, it's pretty hard (and too much random ~~). The random aspect is also the reason why I still miss it.

Halls of carnage, in AoPc... I probably tried, twice, to escape it, but the last door seems quite hard to me.

Getting in is not that much of a problem, it takes a lucky phase with about 1/3 to 1/4 chance, given the layout. The problem is getting out then, which pretty much requires another phase, and much preferably a HPD instead. It is really not likely to get a PD and a HPD up to Phobos 7, not to mention that you also have to get in with the phase and then clear the whole place.

- AoPc in Hall of Carnage without homing phase
- using phase device on Wall level without rocket launcher or another phase.
- pull lava lever as in topic title :))
- pull summon enemies lever on hell episode and get 4 archviles or mancubi having only 25% health
- mancubi + barrels
- anything knockbacking + lava without envirosuit or special boots
- double reload normal (or combat) pistols or burst chaingun in non safe place
- use small medpack when surrounded by 8 lost souls
- get a full damage from spider. Or from 2 spiders...
- first time in mortuary
- activating Angel Arm without invulnerability
- any nuke
- first Angel of Death)) damn, it touch!

when we start to play we have a lot of situations that have only one result)))

Most of this is foreseeable. You get hit by Arachno once, then you roughly know what to expect from one, and from eight. And there is a quite thorough wiki, with all weapons and enemies (except one or to semi-easter eggs). If some item description is vague enough (tri-gun), you can just open wiki page and read. You know what you can expect from game.
