I know, from playing the Betas for this version, that there's a new class of badges beyond Diamond, but you can't view the conditions for them unless you get at least one Diamond badge.  I also know that Kornel introduced some new ones since the earlier Betas, so for this game, I set out to get a quick Diamond so I could see what they are.  And what's the quickest Diamond to get?  Well, the speedrun Diamond, of course!  :D

It took several tries to get right, but my basic strategy was to use the Shotgun and mash F and R for the first few levels until Chained Court, and then make that Berserk last as long as possible, theoretically heading straight to the stairs, but I got a little bloodthirsty in places and spent more time killing than was perhaps wise, such as at the Anomoly and especially in a Pain Elemental cave in Hell 3 since I had Blademaster by that point and it was fun wading through the sea of Lost Souls, dispatching large groups of them at a time.  :)

Some of the Angelic Badges look really interesting!  I look forward to trying for some of these and hope they don't distract me from my schoolwork *too* much.  :P

Lord, no, there's even more badges beyond the Gold I had difficulties with, Platinum I couldn't obtain and Diamond I wouldn't start dreaming about? Please excuse me while I find a suitable flat surface to bounce my forehead into.


Ah, my trusty desk...

Ah, my trusty desk...

Hope it's not the desk under your computer - that way it's no DoomRL for you and you'll never see the Angelic requirements!
Use the nearest wall instead and be sure not to break to your neighbours. A steel lamppost outside works similarly well.

I guess I have to try an AoMC/UV again - Gatekeeper looks as the easiest Diamond for me. Well - it was the only one I ever obtained :).

...and you'll never see the Angelic requirements!

Don't worry, it's not going to happen anyway :)
Thanks for the friendly advice though.

[Radagast]

Nice one m8!!
So the angelic badges appear when we get our first diamond?? Good to know.

I guess I have to try an AoMC/UV again - Gatekeeper looks as the easiest Diamond for me. Well - it was the only one I ever obtained :).

Indeed so true. By far the easiest one.
I tried it once a week ago but got a bit unlucky with spawns on a early lvl and had to spend my phase device before the anomaly so it was impossible afterwards...
I still got the other untouchable badges though, including the platinum one on that play so I guess it was ok. (had to rocket jump in the anomaly obviously)

I'm playing a UV/Standard now though (I'm after the wall now) and I finally managed at last to finish anomaly undamaged, got lucky with phasing and corner shooting the bruisers with a tactical shotgun.
Given that I also found a nano pack in deimos lab and have the cateye trait, I believe I'll get my first diamond on this one, expect mortem soon. :)

PS : I only wish I had more time to play this game.
