"Hell Arena Pwnage Medal" : Clear Hell's Arena on Nightmare! without taking any damage


It is extremely hard to achieve normally, but Angel of Max Carnage makes it much easier.

Basically, the way to get this is just make a smart use of corpse-stacking. (Replace corpses of barons/cacodemons by corpses of demons)
You can also destroy corpses to killing them exactly over stairs, but it is dangerous to fight near the stairs (as there are widely-open)
Intuition and Hellrunner helps you a lot.
If you are not going with AoMC, use Rel/SoB instead of HR.


This time I have a youtube video.

Hope this helps all beginners of Nightmare Hell Arena.

Youtube says that the video is private.

[papilio]

Oh, I've changed it to be open now. Check it.

[Thiebs]

Not private now, but still not available on mobile. (You'd think open to everyone would be default on Youtube.)

[papilio]

Ah, Youtube blocks playing videos that contain musics with copyrights on mobile. You can see it in PC.

To enable them on mobile, I must erase background songs and only use default DoomRL BGMs.. that's not fun.. :(

[Tormuse]

Nice one!  :)  It's cool to see your technique in action; you've clearly got some practiced skills there.  :)  (I saw a few missed opportunities for corpse-stacking here and there, but you got the job done in the end)  :)

A few things I would have done differently:

Fill up on ammo ahead of time;  I like to take advantage of the respawning on N! to completely fill my inventory at the beginning of the game, especially for a challenge like this.  (You almost ran completely out of shells!)

Pick up that extra Chaingun;  Once in a while, it's handy to be able to switch quickly to a full Chaingun instead of taking the 2.5 seconds to reload.  (After all, you had plenty of inventory space; I wondered why you left it on the ground)

But yeah, overall well done!  :D

[papilio]

Picking up extra weapons to cut reload time! Awesome idea. I've never thought about that...

I usually stock up ammo & shells on N!, but I didn't filled up this time,
because HAPM is not an easy medal so I restarted the game many times because of failures.
If every trial I fill full of ammo then it'll take too much amount of time to just record this..
