So, I took it upon myself to try an unusual combination of challenges. I think a lot of people agree that AoMC makes things easier. It takes the randomness out of the game, so you can count on your enemies dying when you want them to. :) Well, I got the bright idea of combining it with Angel of Darkness to take a lot of that advantage away. (I guess I'm a bit of a masochist) :P I was having enemies I couldn't see hit me with maximum damage, so I had to adapt my strategy accordingly. (You can see in the recording that I lose half my health before even getting into the Phobos Base on level 1!) I played at HMP because I was hoping to collect a few bronze, silver, and gold badges I don't have yet. I failed to get Destoyer Gold because I took too much damage, but I'm happy to report that I got my 26th and last bronze, Destroyer Bronze! :D
Here are the video recordings of the game:
Part 1 Featuring: Hell's Arena, Chained Court (plus!), Military Base
Part 2 Featuring: Phobos Anomaly, City of Skulls, Containment Area, Halls of Carnage, Tower of Babel
Part 3 Featuring: Unholy Cathedral, The Vaults, The Mortuary
Part 4 Featuring: Mount Erebus, Hell Fortress
This took many tries to get right, most of which failed in the first few levels, (I'm filling up my hard drive with all these videos) :P but I finally had a lucky enough game. I got a good collection of mod packs, including an onyx mod and three nano mods! :o I very nearly got the Angelic Badge for clearing the Mortuary without damage, but unluckily, a rocket that I fired into a group of enemies propelled an Arachnotron into view who then fired a volley of plasma fire at me. :( It was the only damage I took on that level. Oh well...
I think there was more I wanted to say, but I'm getting tired and need to call it a night, but maybe I'll remember more in the morning. :)
