The Journey to 100%
khiijol:
i have strongman diamond and found it pretty easy compared to the others. just use the shotgun to soften up demons on the early levels and make sure to switch to your fist for the killing blow. HMP you don't encounter hell knights until after the chained court so you should be able to get bru3 + ber by then, and anything bigger won't be until after the anomaly where you'll definitely have vampyre
Tormuse:
Like Khiijol said, I think you're overestimating the difficulty of Strongman Diamond. I mean sure, it's challenging, but if you think it's undoable for you, then I think you need to reevaluate your strategy and abilities. I know I razzed you earlier for luck-based strategies, but I think it's safe to say that you are a plenty competent and capable player. You've clearly learned a lot and you're clearly still learning; I think that, with time and practice, and figuring out how to adapt what you know into your playstyle, you'll be able to get this one. Here's another Strongman Diamond for inspiration. :D
The same can also be said of Marksman Platinum and Demonic Diamond; actually, considering how much you like Intuition 2, I would have thought those two would be right up your alley!

For the record, 2Dev posted his "Quad Angelic" game the very first day that version 0.9.9.7 came out. (The first version that Angelic badges existed)

I'll likely go with a Sharpshooter build for this, but I've really never been a fan of using Pistols. Needing to kill everything keeps the player honest and also means mixing with Overconfidence is unrealistic.

It may be a playstyle difference, or just my fondness of Sharpshooters - but I tend to disagree with the badge being one of the hardest. It's probably the fact that I only have five Platinum badges, out of which two were received on a single AoMr UV run. (damn, almost five years ago?)
Give it a shot, preferably a sharp one (sorry for the lame pun).
Icy:
Thanks guys, I appreciate it. :) I've just been stuck on a lot of challenges lately and wanted to vent a bit and express some frustrations. Journeys come with bumps sometimes I guess. :P
Day 64:
Continuing on from yesterday, nothing new or any decent runs at all, lol. I tried some more for Pacifist Angelic Badge and had a few more runs near the end of Phobos. It really is a great challenge to go for on the side, so if I play for long enough, I think I will actually get it eventually.
On the positive, I have a long weekend and want to grind hard, so hopefully I'll get some new shinies. :)
Sereg:
If it helps to motivate you, you are, by this point, clearly a stronger player then I am, so here are the badges I have that you don't yet:
Elite Platinum
Marksman Platinum
Centurial Diamond.
Huh. I thought that would be a longer list - you've sure cleared out alot of challenges.
Suffice it to say, those, at least, are quite doable. The platinums only require UV games, and while they do take a bit of time to get started occasionally, they're usually not too bad to finish once you get one going. I know you've done Conqueror before, and bringing it up to UV isn't too much of an increase in difficulty. Actually, the game where I earned Elite Diamond is the only time I have ever done Conqueror, so if I can do it on UV, you definitely can.
Centurial Diamond is, of course, just a matter of time before you get a good run started.
After that, my advice for you will probably cease to exist, because you will have fully surpassed my achievements in every possible way - well done, lol.
Edit: One other observation I've made - you have more Diamond badges now then Tormuse, by a not-insignificant margin. It's true that he's mostly focused on Angelics now, while you're looking towards full completion, but still... You have more Diamond badges then the legendary Tormuse. That's an acheivement in and of itself.
