DRL > Post Mortem
[H|AoMC+AoMs|92%|16|YASD] Cyberdemon's head - how?
Sereg:
Yep, I'm still trying this one, after seeing a mortem where someone succeeded but accidentally had it on HNTR.
Made it through the anomaly with a lucky double berserk pack and a chainfiring session from the upper edge of the first room. Not much of a problem through Deimos - avoided all special levels after Arena and Court like the plague, since I have no idea how to do them; my one attempt at Phobos Lab on a previous run got me instakilled when the doors at the back end of the acid lake opened up. Made it down to Babel, didn't expect a problem since I had a microlauncher and a hell of a lot of rockets... but nope, Cyberdemon just blasts apart my cover and then me. Didn't stand a chance, especially with no possibility to heal. How does one go about acquiring the Cyberdemon's head? Seems impossible...

LuckyDee:
Simple: Dodgemaster. Shoot until you hear him reload, move until he fires. Repeat.
Tormuse:
Either a lucky invulnerability or Dodgemaster trait. The 100% dodge chance from Dodgemaster overrides the AoMC autohit, so I'd recommend that you make sure to get that before you reach Cybie.
Sereg:
Hmm... I'd been focusing on SoB into TH in preparation for anomaly, due to my clear-by-chainfire strategy there, and didn't have enough traits to build Dodgemaster after. There isn't much opportunity to run and dodge in Anomaly, so I made that clear my primary concern. I wonder if I can get by with just a single level of SoB? That should make Dodgemaster achievable before Babel... I sure can't pass up Intuition, since it's the only thing keeping me safe while still conserving ammunition.
I also noticed that, despite that conservation, I was running terrifyingly low by the time I got down to Babel, so maybe a Gatling gun isn't ideal... Possibly a high power chaingun would suffice? I had to give up my 100% clear goal lest I run out of ammo/take more damage then I could afford.
Klear:
Intuition is not conserving ammo. If you shoot at the intuition marks, you have 50% chance of missing outright, not taking the long range into consideration. Besides, any trait that doesn't add to damage per shoot doesn't do much to help conserve ammo.
You might want to learn to play other special levels if you have trouble getting enough XP for Cybie. There's no reason to skip Hell's Armoury, and Deimos Labs is pretty easy to clear if you don't unleash the dual shamblers.
