 23 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 18 of those were killed.
 And 1 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 4 souls destroyed the Mastermind...
 1 killed the bitch and survived.
 3 showed that it can outsmart Hell itself.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Starting from an (almost) fresh player data. It was fun wandering into areas I've never seen before. It was my first time seeing Limbo and I almost died trying to clear it, but more importantly I grabbed the nuclear BFG which let me get to JC. I got this run in like my 4th attempt, I'm not sure if it's just me still remembering how to handle the challenge, or it got easier in 0.9.9.7 after the changes.

I've never seen Mt. Erebus either, but thankfully it doesn't change that much from the Lava Pits (are pain elementals that don't summon lost souls on death intentional? It almost crippled my MBm build).

I really want to hunt for more diamond badges but I don't quite grasp the strategy on most of them yet, at least for those that aren't mostly luck based anyway. I could probably do Marksman/Shottyman Diamond next, just need to learn what are the best builds for doing that. However, seeing the nightmare monsters appearing in the later levels on N!, I can see why they'd be diamond badges.. x)

Impressive. Did you choose to take a level in IRO at the end, or was this a slip of the finger?
The only times I (accidentally) took IRO on a BER build, it spelled heaps o' trouble...

Any enemy that takes sufficient damage gets gibbed.  Gibbed enemies leave no corpse and drop no items and, in the case of Pain Elementals, release no Lost Souls.  The Longinus Spear does so much damage that it frequently gibs smaller enemies, especially when you're berserk.

Thanks :3 I got pretty decent at doing melee runs since picking up the Dragonslayer has been such a mystery, I had to keep attempting them lol

At that point, I could have upgraded anything, and I figured since I had so many large medpacks near the end, it would have good synergy with Ironman. It'd probably not be worth it unless I got at least 2-3 in Ironman, but I was just experimenting basically. If I had gotten Ironman before I got MBm or even Int it would almost be suicide though!

Oh wow, thanks for clearing that up, I guess I'll keep the chainsaw next time. Pain elementals are valuable Berserk refills..

I've heard a lot of people say that you shouldn't get Ironman for Berserker builds because you don't go berserk from explosions as often, but personally, I usually get it anyway, because I think it's a fair trade off for avoiding instadeaths from things like Arachnotrons, especially if I have a weapon like the Longinus Spear, since I'm probably going to go berserk from the first couple of hits anyway.  I guess it just depends on your playing style.  :)

It spelled my demise at the hands of the Mastermind once. Since then, I'm not taking anymore chances.
