Well, it turned out to not be so spectacular, but I did what I set out to do.  :)  I survived just long enough to get the last medal for clearing Hell's Arena in AoMs at N! difficulty and died on the next level.  :P  It was good enough to get me Heroic Diamond!  :D

I recorded a video of myself playing through Hell's Arena here.

What I did was I stocked up on shells on level one, (taking advantage of N! spawning of Sergeants) and got myself Dodgemaster, so I could dodge the Cacodemon's shots and also outwalk the demons.  (I also entered HA while berserk which may have helped a little)  I still suck at avoiding damage, but I was still (just barely) able to do it.  :)  In the end, I died because I got cornered by multiple Cacodemons and there was no room to maneuver my Dodgemaster ability.  Oh well...

Psst... wanna try speedrunning all the achievements from a fresh install and see how long it takes you to do that?  =P

That said, you're phenomenal.  I'd be royally pissed off at Kornel if you don't appear in JH somehow as a legendary character of some sort.

I don't think I've ever been described as "badass" before, but I'll take it, I guess.  :P

Psst... wanna try speedrunning all the achievements from a fresh install and see how long it takes you to do that?  =P

Ehhh...  I'm sure I could get most of the lower ones and even some of the Diamond ones fairly quickly, but considering that it took me 4 years to get Everyman Angelic, I'm not doing a speedrun of *all* the achievements.  :P  Like I might do it anyway (or at least start it) if I thought there was public interest in it, but there's so little interest in this game these days, my heart wouldn't be in it.  (Not that I do this for the attention, but I have to admit that it's a bit disheartening that my biggest achievement, Everyman Angelic, has only 29 views on my Youtube channel, despite being stickied on the Post Mortem page and being one of my shorter and more entertaining videos)

...I'd be royally pissed off at Kornel if you don't appear in JH somehow as a legendary character of some sort.

That could be a fun little Easter Egg in there.  :D

...which of the diamonds are you still missing?

Demonic Diamond, (avoiding damage is not my specialty)  :P
Eagerness Diamond, (I would probably do it with a Malicious Blades build)
Inquisitor Diamond, (Doing without powerups is not fun,  :(  but maybe I would try Vampyre build?)
Quartermaster Diamond, (Done before in previous versions, but I never got around to it here; could be fun to do with Gunrunner build)
Hunter Diamond, (Cateye build all the way)  :)
Destroyer Diamond, (Considering that I was only able to get Untouchable Cross on easy mode, I doubt I could muster the patience to get this one; I did almost get it once or twice anyway, though)
Masochist Diamond, (Another damage-avoiding badge; *sigh*)  :P
Arena Diamond, (Achieved once in a previous version due to ridiculous luck; I would have to do some considerable grinding to get that to happen again)

Wait...
Does this mean that I have an  achievement the legendary Tormuse doesn't?

Should I say the magic words? "I'll be very impressed if anyone can manage this one without Sereg-ing..."
