Well, my first Diamond and probably my last - at least for a long, long time. Somehow I figured this Diamond was the only one within range of my current skill and experience with the game so I gave it a try. I have been wondering how to clear the Vaults "by luck" but after giving it some thoughts I had an idea how to go about it. Luckily for me it worked. I don´t know if this is considered a spoiler (as with the Dragonslayer) so I am keeping it vague here...

As you can see I didn´t bother with every special floor (nothing on earth would ever get me to enter the spider´s lair when I don´t have to lol) only the ones that spawn rewards I wanted.

Anyway, actually I almost died on the third or fourth floor due to being spawned extremely unlucky between the line of fire of two Barons and a couple Imps with no cover in actual sight, yeah great fun. Somehow (= some health packs and a lucky teleport along the way) I managed to get away after all.

I found my first power mod in the Armory and decided to build a tactical shotgun instead of going for the piercing chainsaw. So, that was the first time in who knows how long that I had to kill Cybie with a regular unmodded chainsaw (I don´t even remember IF I ever had to do that before). To be honest I wasn´t quite sure how that would go down but no big problem luckily after all.

Ok, Unholy Cathedral, Azrael´s Scythe, yeah! So, no need for that chainsaw anymore and glad I didn´t waste that power mod on it.

No problems clearing the Vaults.

Found another power mod AND a nano pack (what a nice surprise!) later on - powered red armor here I come. Breezed through the rest of the game, nothing worth writing about anymore.

My first Diamond was Technician Diamond. I figure I can manage Scavenger Diamond but that requires me to get into the UV groove again.

As for Scavenger Diamond and your means of getting it, I think it's a secret that people can figure out after maybe thinking about it, but it's not a secret that must be kept secret like the Dragonslayer is. That's just my take on it, since I've posted a mortem about Scavenger Platinum and people talked about it for a while.
