So, I unexpectedly had this evening off because some plans fell through, so I decided to try for the Strongman Angelic badge and it was a ridiculous, ridiculous game, but I finally did it! :D I'm in the middle of uploading the videos I recorded of it, so when that's done, I'll post them in this space:
Part 1: Stair dive! :D
Part 2: Punch those Lost Souls! Punch them! Punch them some more! :P
Part 3: Keep on punching those Lost Souls! Punch! Punch! Punch! :D
Part 4: Dawdling around much longer than I should've, but I got there eventually. :)
The videos are divided up into 4 parts. The first and fourth parts are a half hour of actual gameplay each (mostly stair-diving) and the second and third parts are three solid hours of farming Pain Elementals for Lost Souls to pad my kill count. (I was ready to leave by the end of part 2, but I decided to stick around another hour so I could take enough damage to get Iron Skull too) :) I include the videos for part 2 and 3 for posterity to show that I did it, but they're so boring and repetitive, that I don't know if anyone will actually watch them. (Sorry, but how else am I going to get 90% kills with only my fists?) :) I did throw some commentary in here and there and spent a good chunk of part 2 babbling about goings-on in my life, so if that appeals to you, I guess there's that. :P
Funny thing: I started doing the Lost Soul farming on Deimos 4 because I was lucky enough to find a switch that floods the level with water, which keeps the enemies from respawning. About two minutes into the farming, I figured that I should walk around the level one more time to make sure there weren't any enemies that I missed that might surprise me and mess things up, and sure enough, there was indeed an enemy that I missed that surprised me and messed things up. :P It was a one in a million shot; an imp threw a fireball which missed me and hit an acid barrel about halfway across the map behind me that exploded and killed the Pain Elemental. O_o The consternation I felt in that moment was indescribable, but it quickly turned into relieved laughter when I realized that the next level was City of Skulls, so there were lots more Pain Elementals and opportunities for farming. :)
And on that note, it's time to update my signature! :D
