I... I really don't care to admit how many attempts this took me.

There's really nothing to say about melee stairdiving, I wouldn't bother posting this mortem at all, except it's got ego-boosting value as the first Nightmare! win I'm willing to accept as a 'legitimate' win (though it's still a pretty cheesy strat).

Oh, actually, one thing I found out: Int1 is kinda OP once you make it to Hell on Nightmare!; as a scout, one invuln plus stairsense is going to get you a long way, and in my experience, you're practically guaranteed to get at least two of those spawn in Hell. It'd take some seriously bad luck not to spend the entire last third of the game sprinting from stairway to stairway whilst invulnerable.

Eh, it's a legit win.  Not particularly fantastic by some of the mortems we see here, but a win is a win.

I think that the number of enemies on the regular levels on N! give sufficient XP such that you don't have to kill all of them and you don't have to go through many of the special levels.
