So, I've been short 2 silver badges for a while, Arachno silver which requires Angel of Darkness and Lava silver which requires Angel of Impatience, so naturally I tried to get them both in the same game!  :)

I played at HNTR because I didn't feel like doing anything *too* difficult, but it turned out to be a lot more difficult than I expected.  :|  Nevertheless, after several tries, I succeeded at getting one of them.  (And if I hadn't died, the Cerberus boots would have made it easy to get the other one; oh well...)

I thought my tech-modded Chainsaw and Finesse 2 would make my attacks fast enough that I could easily avoid getting hit back by the Angel of Death, (not to mention my anti-gravity boots) and I was mostly right, but he was able to hit me a few times, so I guess I miscalculated my moves?  :S  I think maybe my equipment made me a little overconfident and I didn't take enough time to observe the AoD's movement patterns.

Oh well, one silver is better than none!  :)

I'm with you on that - I'm missing, I think, 4 silvers, and they're all this Special Challenge + Special Level That's Harder Then Usual With Said Special Challenge type.

Not altogether too difficult, but they don't actually do anything for me, and like you I'd want to try them at HNTR to ensure success, which I don't like to do because currently I'm used to U and sort of used to N!, and I'd like to stay there for the badges that *will* do something for me.

Props for the combination, though - AoD + AoI can't be easy on any difficulty level. I'm actually amazed that you pulled off Arachno silver like that... I don't know how you managed to kill spiders you can't see(that one's bad enough with a regular vision radius, IMO), and if memory serves there are no globes on the level, so you would have had no source of healing whatsoever o.O

[Tormuse]

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the Spider's Lair for that very reason.  :P  But it actually wasn't too bad.  I jumped into one of the teleporters right st the beginning and then swept from one side to the other, taking them out one at a time.  Int 2 let me sneak up on them and corner-shoot them with my tac shotty or plasma rifle and then dispose of the corpses with my plasmatic shotgun.  And the fact that it was HNTR meant there were fewer Arachnotrons to deal with.  (Having anti-gravity boots was a big help too)
