Darn it, this is my FAILED attempt to Elite Platinum (Winning standard game on UV as a Conqueror)
I forgot that I must kill everything of Halls of Carnage to get the "clear" credit.
However, I got the Trigun so achieved the Fallout Gold Cross, so this run was not totally meaningless.
(caution: you must take an inv globe before using the insta-nuke of Trigun.
you can nuke more than one floors in one inv globe using Trigun if you run into stairs)

Anyway, Ammochain build + hyperblaster + SoB 2~3 is really really cool.
The best thing of hyperblaster is its extremely fast firing time, so when you use the chain fire,
if you notice nasty enemies in later stages (like Archvile/Mancubus/Barons) before they prepare to attack you,
just chainfire hyperblaster then you can easily kill them before they attack you.
The only drawback of Ammochain build is that you cannot use the Intuition trait.

In Unholy Cathedral, I had a cybernano red armor (which has -20% speed) so
even with HR2+tactical boots, my speed was just 0.71s/move.
I first thought that I must have both of <0.65s/move and <0.65s/attack to kill the Angel of Death without being attacked by him,
so yelled "Oh no! I cannot take off this sluggish armor. Am I supposed to restart the whole game???? f***!"

However, I confirmed that 0.71s/move is enough to outrun him;
I had T-modded chainsaw so with Fin2 my attack speed was 0.51s/attack,
and my original strategy (which I used in AoHu HNTR Conqueror run) worked well.

Outrun him until he is away from you by 3 tiles (like A--@ in ASCII form) then wait (pressing .) once.
If he gets near by you (that is, he move 2 tiles at once), then chop him.
If he does not get near by you (that is, he move only 1 tile this time), then outrun again.
I consumed nearly 20 minutes to kill him.. he has so high HP on UV :( what a boring job.


Mortuary in UV is still scary. Fortunately it was not Limbo.
(if Limbo were generated, then I had to use that sluggish cerberus boots, which would disturb outrunning enemies)
Fortunately I got a lot of power cells on Vaults so bombarded BFGs to archviles when I felt it is needed.

Mt.Erebus was easy and I nuked mastermind (using lava elts+nuking bomb) and killed JC.
When his hp got low, I faced a big problem since it spawned swarm of barons again and again,
but he was too foolish to teleport near me with low hp. lucky.

Quick Question, does YASW mean Yet Another Stupid Win(YAVP/YAFW) or Yet Another Standard Win(YAVP but not YAFW)?
Also, I learned that UV without Intuition(or even a shotgun) must be really annoying, since Radar Shooting is a Must, and your bullets don't always hit(I always mistake misses for "no enemy there" cues, unless I have at least Eagle Eye 1)

[papilio]

YASW stands for Yet another SILLY WIN.

lack of intuition traits is not that big deal in later parts as with Ammochain+SoB 2~3+hyperblaster+Fin2,
your firepower is overwhelming enough to take down swarm of archviles without getting hit.

Anyhow, I got the Elite Platinum now. Geez.
