[N!|AoMC|95%|YAFW] Guaranteed DS is easier than you think

Kornel Kisielewicz:
Yeah, just to preserve the tradition I suggest putting the conditions in spoilers when posted :)

It sure does!  :o

Well, since we've got Kornel's blessing to talk about the DS now...  :)

Spoiler: Dragonslayer stuff (click to show/hide)So, obviously, in this game, I was unable to wield the DS in Unholy Cathedral because I wasn't berserk and had no means of making myself berserk.

Also, a couple of things I've wanted to comment on in other threads for a while:


--- Quote from: Tormuse ---...after I'd calmed down a bit and pulled myself together, I recorded the rest of the game...

"pulling myself together" was referring to picking up all my stuff I had dropped to make room to unwield and unready all my equipped items to pick up the DS.  It was intended as a subtle clue!  :D


--- Quote from: Tormuse ---I very nearly screwed up my chance to pick it up due to my own stupidity and had to resort to some cleverness to find another way.  (I really wish I could say what it was, but it would be spoilery and Kornel wouldn't like it)  ;)

I had killed all the enemies near the DS, so I was unable to trigger berserk by hitting enemies, so what I did was I pushed a napalm barrel next to the DS and chainsawed it.  The explosion made me berserk and I was able to pick it up.  :)

Vid-szhite:
I spoiled it for myself by peeking in the source code anyway. It was shockingly simple!

Sure you can !  Its more or less what tourist-mode was made for !  Give it a glance, its quite fun.
You can even get my modified version (with super zerk, super headlight...)
That mod is a great tutorial to get some moding bases.

Personally, I found that guaranteed DS mistakenly... and then, did some research to find the condition.  It remains a pain to achieve that in real game... even after getting pwnage medal, I failed most my attemps, by mistake or bad luck, which gives me an Apostle count of only 2 (+1 Gutt's heart)
I linked Mortems, if someone is interrested
Edit : Oh, I can haz attachments ?  Great !


Since I was quite sure the "mystery" around DS would quickly officially vanish with the source release, I have one question which remains :
How the duck are you supposed to kill Spidey when going for that guaranteed DS ?  I don't recall of any guaranteed nuke in 0.9.9.7, and the BFG can't be used with DS in your hands.
Yet, from 2dev's posts... I was quite sure something makes it possible with guaranteed success. (Wouldn't dare to say "no luck involved", yet, since level generation remains :)

@Tormuse : Funny run, but... come on, You can do it without AoMC !  If I managed to clean HA with just SOB/Int2 and SOB3, you can do it too !
Then, just skip MCE and you'll even get zerk for UC.  A cake... no lies !

Yeah, this question was raised a while ago and never answered.  I'm still curious about that myself.  Does someone who has gone through the source code know how to get a guaranteed nuke besides the (unusable in this case) Nuclear BFG?

Uh huh...  I'm sure I *can* do it, but I wouldn't say it's easy.  Believe it or not, I really am not that good at avoiding damage.  You see that mortem up there where I took 191 damage?  Yeah, that was supposed to be under 50; it was my best attempt and I wasn't even close.  :P  (And if you want more examples, I've got a whole Youtube channel full of them; I take lots of damage all the time!)  :D

Nice Portal reference, though.  ;)
