[U|AAo666|338|99%|YASD] Mother of God, I thought Arachnocaves were bad...

Sereg:
OMVFG Shamblers. So many Shamblers. Shamblers fucking *everywhere*...

In retrospect, I wonder if Dodgemaster would have let me sidestep all of them. Maybe. Worth remembering for next time. Still, where would I have gone... they were everywhere...

I think Lava Elementals need to start dropping their Elements on Ao100 - those would be incredibly useful.

This run was looking fairly solid, although Nightmare Arachnotron caves were causing me some difficulty. I had also lost YAAM due to a Mancubus hiding from me all the way back up at level 50 or so on a nuke level, so that was already gone. Still, I was fairly confident in my ability to finish the run, and then this happened. 337 would have been a great floor to have a chain of 3x Invulnerability orbs...

*sigh*

Oh well. There's always next time.

raekuul:
YAAM was blown, you had homing phases in your inventory... I'm guessing you got mobbed unexpectedly? Or are you standing on the stairs already?

Sereg:
I was still going to kill everything to make a point. I missed one and only one, and technically, I killed that one once already before it got resurrected, and killed it again when the nuke went off =P To be completely honest, the idea of phasing to the stairs and just leaving didn't even occur to me. I did consider a homing phase as a means of escape, but since the stairs down were in the same room I started in, I decided to risk the random teleport of the Hell Staff, hoping for a safer area. Since I died instantly on that landing, I expect the same would have happened with a homing phase.

If it had been the first thing I tried upon entering the level, I might have gotten out alive, but I didn't actually consider teleporting until the first volley took off 58% of my HP. I started a chainfire when I entered, hoping to kill some of them and thin out the incoming damage before they woke up, since they're inactive for a few turns upon entering the level, and I hoped enough of them would miss and the ones that hit wouldn't do dangerous amounts of damage that I'd be able to survive long enough to clear the room to the point of safety.

I don't really know much about fighting shamblers... I avoid them like the plague on special levels, and most of the ones in AAo666 die before they can attack, so I don't really know how their attacks work, or even what kind of damage they do. I don't know if they can be dodged, or if they can miss, or really anything about them.

White Rider:
I personally dislike using the Hell Staff as a phase device. If you find that your landing spot sucks and you need to run, you can't. (Unless you're playing Technician and can pop a medkit)

The main thing you should know about Shamblers is that they teleport 16% of the time (though when you fight them on Hell's Armory / Deimos Lab it feels like they teleport 80% of the goddamn time), regenerate 1 HP per turn, and deal plasma damage.

Evilpotatoe:
I probably didn't even think to it yet, but aren't you supposed to run, before phasing, to lessen chances of instadeath during the 1s lost at landing ? (thus, making hell staff quite a bad device, indeed)

@Sereg
Quite nice run, but I think you acted too quickly on that level. did you panic ? ^^
I think you could have put your nuclear BBFF gun or your nano napalm launcher to a good use. Also, I'd advise to always carry at least one cerberus suit. Gothic, onix, phaseshift... many are good, and imo, worth an inventory slot.
Well, it seems you had a plasma shield anyway so... just don it next time ! Beware, though : it's fragile, and I'm afraid it doesn't last more than a few turns, hence the necessity of some onyx cerberus.
