Any advice for the latter half of N! AoD/A100?

(1/3) > >>

Minaro:
So I decided to get a N! AoD/A100 run going. At this point I've pretty much gotten over the hefty hurdle that was the earlygame and thanks to a Necroarmor drop I'm comfortably killing mostly everything with my Vampyre build without losing much - if any - hp. I should be fine for the most part for a while.

My question at this point is basically if there's anything you can think of that I should keep in mind for the later levels of the run to keep things from getting hairy? I'm sitting on a Energy-Shielded Vest in case I find the parts to make a Cybernano armor, which would further simplify things - should I get there. Other than that I haven't found anything spectacular - I'm using a Chainsword, Assault Shotty and Laser Rifle as my main ways of disposing enemies aswell as a RL for corpse disposal.

ZicherCZ:
You appear to be set up pretty well for the rest of the game :).

One thing to keep in mind are the enemies that are yet to appear. More and more elite humans, nightmare enemies, and even shamblers and Cybies will start to come in to say hello, and sometimes they will appear in single-monster levels. A nightmare-demon or even nightmare-arachnotron cave is a thing of, well, nightmares. Elite humans, on the other hand, carry improved weapons, all the way up to a napalm launcher.

So perhaps the only advice would be - don't get too cocky, have some escapes (phase devices FTW!) and use them sooner than later. I hope to see your mortem in the Century Lounge soon! :)

Minaro:
Yeah, I've done a few A100 runs before, just never on N!. I've run into Lava elementals, a Cybie and Shambler. The only difference on N! would be that there'll be far more of them (and harder enemies showing up earlier). Are there any enemies apart from the Viles that will not respawn?

ZicherCZ:
You shouldn't meet harder enemies earlier than on UV (the level restrictions are the same for UV and N!). You can, however, meet more of them on a single floor.
Besides Viles (and nightmare viles), lost souls and elementals (pain, agony and lava) certainly do not respawn, as they do not leave a corpse to respawn from. For all I know, Cybies and Shamblers do not respawn as well, and everything else does.

Sereg:
Cyberdemons don't, but I seem to remember shamblers leaving a corpse...
