Ok, so allowed myself 1 more Too Young To Die run to firmly re-establish my grip, and then went on to HNTR with the Angel of Shotgunnery. Nice chance at a shiny new badge, and I like shotguns anyway, so why not. Even though I took several moderate beatings throughout Phobos, it went pretty well, Anomaly was a cakewalk. On Deimos 1 I encounter stairs to the Deimos Lab, and - hungry for experience as I am - I descend.
First impressions: nice new level, nice touch with the teleporters. I can hear Arachnotrons running around, but with a P-modded double shotgun and a tactical (and lotsa cover), I shall know no fear. Right. Until I pull the four levers I find where the Arachnotrons used to live.
Lotsa screaming, and a Shambler appears. "Hmmm", goes I, "I've seen these before, I still have lotsa cover, should be a piece of cake." Then a second one appears. I swallow hard as my sphincter contracts, then quickly decide to roll with it and make use of cover as much as possible, eventually running off of the little island in the acid lake since I got shot into it a couple of times, only speeding my defeat.
Here's the kicker: I had 3 armours, 5 large medpacks and enough shells to arm a moderately sized African country. I could not kill one single shambler. I got one on mortally wounded and got at least 5 more relatively close-ranged shots with the P-modded in and still it refused to die. What the HELL??
These bastards must have taken at least 150 shells, no way did I ever need this much ammo for the Shambler in the 0996 Armory, which I virtually always used to kill in the same fashion: cornershooting with a double shotty.
In hindsight, maybe the Tristar I found would have made a difference (though I seem to recall it packs cells, which I naturally didn't have), but by then I was too flabbergasted to even want to win anymore. It'll be awhile before I'll be pulling those levers again. Poor Igor.
Radagast:
Both the labs are not that easy now as it seems. Armory was a cakewalk indeed in 0.9.9.6 that's certainly true, even on HMP/UV.
Btw I just finished both phobos and deimos lab in UV now.
The nightmare demons in the 1st and the shamblers in the 2nd were indeed a "true" nightmare.
Burned through my blue/red armors and large medpacks like candy.
Tactical shotgun was not good enough to kill 2 of them together.
Wouldn't have made it alive probably was it not for the cateye build and the plasma rifle I ended up using in order to kill those nasty critters fast.
Even then endless amount of corner and radar shooting was needed.
At least intuition2 helps immensely there.
Personal opinion is that the 2 shamblers are indeed going way too overboard for all difficulties below UV, let alone on ITYTD and HNTR.
Up until HMP one shambler is probably enough perhaps have it with some more summons, but a 2nd shambler together? I srsly don't know.
I admit it was a nice surprise though.
I'll think twice before going in there with other builds..
Besides, the place is optional though I did love the nano pack I got in the end, made the reward much more sweet.

It appears you can still do Deimos Lab (even on YAAM) without dealing with the Shamblers; once you kill the rest, the game indicates the level has been cleared anyhow. The bulk of it is pretty easy experience.
Either you are correct and these are Nightmare Shamblers, or their stats have been severely changed at least when it comes to shrapnel resistance. A defnite nono for AoSh, by my book.

You do lose the uber mod packs which is the final reward though.
I was referring to the nightmare demons in Phobos lab UV. Not the shamblers in Deimos Lab you misunderstood.
I'm pretty sure there is no nightmare version of any boss in this game anyway, at least not on normal runs we play.
The only reason the shamblers seem impossible is completely due to their simultaneous teleports and attacks. They are not more powerful than before imo. (unless their stats were indeed beefed as well though I doubt it)
It's just that 2 together won't let you do any decent corner shooting let alone give you enough time to kill them with a mere shotgun. The layout of the lvl doesn't help much either.
Shambler in armory was also easier since you could hide in small room corners next to the large corridor and keep pushing it behind with knockbacks. Damageless armory was common along with shambler's head badge.
I wonder how someone can do damageless deimos lab now as it is with those 2 meatballs blinking around together.

I hope you're right, but like I wrote I had one down to mortally wounded (the other was only at wounded yet), and 5 shots (averageing 32.4 damage each, according to the Wiki) did not put it down. Cross-reference with the page for the shambler: it took 162 damage to not kill a mortally wounded Shambler, which has a total of 100 health in mint condition.
Something smells...
