Well, another post from me, seems like i'm on a roll this week. I was kinda bored and wanted to see how much damage Doomguy could do with his bare fists, so i set out and apparently won. :D I've been too much of a wuss to actually try and persue diamond badges, since they look pretty much impossible. This game was actually pretty easy after the initial troubles of grinding towards Bru3 and Berserker. I got loads of armour, medkits, berserker packs and invul. globes scattered across the floors. One invul. globe before cybie and one right beside the stairs to the spider mastermind. Talking about luck.

Didn't want to nuke the spider mastermind because i didn't know if that would take away my chance of strongman diamond (does anyone know if that counts?).

Some impressive mortems you're posting here - congratulations. This is one of the tougher diamonds, precisely because of the early game grind, when demons will eat your face before you have enough strength to kill them quickly.

Didn't want to nuke the spider mastermind because i didn't know if that would take away my chance of strongman diamond (does anyone know if that counts?).

If you would kill JC afterwards, you would be credited with a full win and get all the badges and medals. However, if you would die there, you would be out of luck. So for the sake of the Diamond, your decision was wise.

Thanks. Hmm, yes i think this was the wisest decision. If JC spawns a number of monsters, i'm not sure i could take them all with my bare fists. Usually i go for Bru->Bru->Ber, but i went for Bru3 because of the early demons and hellknights. The latter were still a problem, cause they'd usually take over 50% of my health and destroy my armour. The trick in this game was isolating and killing enemies one by one or make use of enemy crossfire and let them wipe out themselves.

I get stuck without a proper internet connection for 8 days and now all of a sudden expert players are suddenly popping up everywhere?! Well done, man, impressive stuff. And you make it sound so casual. Bastard.

[Tormuse]

Woo!  Well done!  :D  This is one of my favourite Diamonds for the use of Vampyre build.  :)

Regarding nuking the Mastermind, as long as your hands are empty when she dies, it's considered a fist kill.  You wouldn't lose the Strongman Diamond by nuking her.  As for JC, you had a really good chance of taking him out.  You had good armour and a huge pile of med packs.  Personally, I would've gone for it.  The only issue is if he teleports away and you can't find him, but even so, with all those med packs, (and 2 Hatred Skulls!) the extra protection from the berserk should keep you alive long enough to follow the trail of summons to him to finish him off.  :)  (And if you really can't find him, note that he keeps firing at you from outside your visual radius, so pay attention to where the rockets are coming from for a clue)

To be honest it was kinda casual, without trying to sound arrogant. With all those medkits lying around and not trying any special levels it wasn't that hard. But the beginning is always the most difficult, especially with melee builds. It was basically my first attempt to work with my fists and wanted to see how far i could go without weapons. The further i got, the more excited i got. In the end i couldn't help but imagining Doomguy like this:

[LuckyDee]

Yeah, you get those runs every now and then -although judging by your previous mortems I guess it's pretty safe to say you started at a higher level of understanding of the game than I did :)

I would encourage everyone to try fisting your way through DoomRL. It's pretty neat when things finally work out for you. I've been playing for a few years now and lately i'm spending too much time at home so i think i'm improving. Although all those dead doomguys and 17 days of playtime tell me otherwise.

[thelaptop]

...fisting your way through DoomRL...

Terrible choice of verb there.  I'd go with punching.

If you like Strongmanning, HMP on AoMs seems like a rather fun combination to go for.  That or HMP and AoP.  You'd see even more dead DoomGuys before a win.  >.<

That's the joke, but i agree it didn't really came through on an internet forum. I like your suggestions, dare i enter this world of frustration and dead DoomGuys? Who knows..

[thelaptop]

Maybe those aren't as frustrating as Strongmanning while being Human, i.e. Strongmanning on AoHu.

Maybe we'll see you again in a few months when you have that [H|AoHu|YAAM] with strongman.  >.<
