[N!|ArchAoHu|53%|10|YASD] Epic ending battle, AKA How am I not dead?

DRL > Nightmare!

(1/2) > >>

Tormuse:
I'm still periodically trying to get the Everyman Angelic badge. I'm certain that it's doable with a lucky enough game. This was another failed attempt that I'm only posting because there was a pretty epic battle in the end which I almost won, (if I'd known that was the last Cacodemon in the room, I would've played differently) and someone recently suggested that we need some more awesome DoomRL videos. :)

I think the video speaks for itself.

Woah. Why you no run mode?

Huh? I spent a lot of time running. Is there a specific time that I didn't run that I should have?

papilio:
How do you plan to kill Cyberdemon?

You cannot have Dodgemaster trait.
Without fireproof red armor or energy shield (which is hard to find), you'll get instakilled.
With environmental suit + plain red armor, the average rocket damage will 5~6.
With the fireproof red armor, the average damage from rocket blast would be 5~6.

With environmental suit + fireproof red armor (which makes total +80% fire resistance), the average rocket damage will 1~2...
But finding bulk pack + tech pack + env suit would not be easy, huh?

I think medpacks will run out before getting rid of that massive amount of HP.

I think the only way is finding nuke+inv globe and nuke it...

Tormuse:
True, the Cyberdemon is a huge hurdle for completing this challenge. In my best attempt, (which I haven't posted) I got him down to severely wounded thanks to a lucky berserk pack and lots of chainsawing. (I would have succeeded if I had played a little differently or if he had spawned closer to me; I suppose I can post that video too if anyone's interested) :)

I don't think getting Fireproof armour (or using ranged weapons in general) is a viable strategy; since you can't get SOB or EE, your ranged weapons simply don't do enough damage to kill him quickly enough, and he would be continually pounding on you, knocking you away, forcing you to waste time moving back into range again. I think the best option is the Chainsaw accompanied by berserk or invulnerability. You just have to hope to get lucky enough to find those just before facing him.

And if I'm lucky enough to find a nuke, I'm using it on the Spider Mastermind; I would only use one on Cybie if I find two nukes.
