Sooo what to say about this run... I was going for my next Platinum, as I asked in my other mortem thread. I have been trying afew challenges and having varying degrees of success when I decided to change it up a bit and go for a full win, which I've not managed before. I have met JC on easier difficulties once or twice but died each time, not having a strong enough Doomguy to deal with him. I was lucky enough to not worry about him this run however as the RNG saw fit to give me an invuln on the level before Dis, and I had a Homing Phase, the Lava Element and 2 nukes, you get the picture...

I mentioned really liking the nano super shotty before and managed to make a nano assault shotty this time (didn't see a super or even a double barreled shotgun) and despite being fairly weak damage-wise, my GOD it's good with Shottyhead. I had a firing speed of 0.2s or something mental, and no reload obviously. So I was getting 4-5 shots off inbetween each enemies move, and they were dying in droves :). It was so amazing I even visited the Mortuary (which I normally give a wide berth) and it was a cakewalk, I didn't even get hit I don't think. I did have 3 hatred skulls which helped a lot but just firing randomly until you hear the screams start then stop seemed to work ;).

I also had a revelation mid-game by using the mouse. I don't know why I didn't use it before. It's amazing! I think it helped speed my game up massively.

The only real boo-boo I made was forgetting I didn't have the Arena Masters Staff before I went into the Vaults, so I couldn't get the 100% kill rate for Veteran Gold as well... Thing is, I have real difficulty in the Chained Court on UV, so I usually miss it out now. Another time perhaps... Or I could just miss out the Vaults too :).

Dear God, man!

Also, thank you! I had it in my head that Shottyhead required Dodgemaster, not just Hellrunner. Doh!
