 330 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 308 of those were killed.
 And 13 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 9 souls destroyed the Mastermind...
 7 killed the bitch and survived.
 2 showed that it can outsmart Hell itself.

--------------------------------------------------------------

I've been trying to make relatively quick progress in terms of difficulty levels in this game.  I fully won on ITYTD, screwed up a full win on HNTR by accidentally using the lava element rather than picking it up, and then did a speed run win on HMP before this one.  This win definitely felt like it took more attempts than it should have.

The build I've had the most success with tackling new difficulty levels on is Scout with Cat-Eye.  It seems like the best master trait to me because being able to shoot at things without the things being able to shoot back is amazing.  I'm going to branch out to some other builds now though.

The start of this run wasn't particularly promising, no mods or better equipment all the way to Phobos Lab.  I didn't even have a combat shotgun until I picked up the one at the end of the Lab.  However, I did have a double shotgun, and this game I realized for the first time that a double shotgun with a shell box is by far the best way of dealing with the nightmare demons in Phobos Lab.  Normally reloading a double shotgun with nightmare demons in sight is suicidal, but the shell box makes reloading fast enough that the demons don't have time to close.  Meanwhile, the double shotgun's damage in close quarters knocks them back far enough that they can't eat my face.  This turned the lab from a nightmare that claimed two promising characters into something much more doable.

I got two big lucky breaks early on Deimos: Hell's Armory had a nano mod and the level after it had the super shotgun.  When I first saw the modpack, I was thinking of the nanomanufacture ammo assembly on a plasma rifle, but when I saw the super shotgun on the next level I immediately went for nanoshrapnel even though I was clearly built around Cat-Eye.  The great thing about Cat-Eye is that the extra vision range helps no matter what weapon you're using.  I killed almost everything using the nanoshrapnel super shotgun, only occasionally switching over to a plasma rifle that I eventually made into a hyperblaster for sniping things.

I found an invulnerability globe close to the stairs to Babel and came down with the Cyberdemon in sight.  The nanoshrapnel shotgun made it a super-easy kill, though honestly a plasma rifle would probably have been enough with chain fire.

On the whole I was fairly mod poor up to Hell.  I was scared I was going to have to skip Unholy Cathedral and miss out on Conqueror because I hadn't found another agility mod (the two I'd had had gone on my armor and my boots) to finish piercing blade on the chainsaw.  I could make the red armor I was using into ballistic armor, but that was it.  (I picked up the duelist armor and the agility mod for the hyperblaster farther into Hell.)  The agony elemental had also not given me a hatred skull.  However, on Hell 1 I had some more luck.  I found an invulnerability globe far from the Unholy Cathedral stairs and decided to risk trying the nuke strategy with the bomb I'd picked up earlier.  My invulnerability was wearing out when the bomb went off, so I was cutting it close, but it worked!

My mod luck never turned around, though, and I never managed to finish cerberus boots.  I had the foresight to save the two enviropacks I found and that made the Lava Pits possible.

The very last level before Dis was an arachnotron cave, where I came down the stairs in sight of 8 arachnotrons.  I used the nuclear BFG and my bulk-modded BFG to wipe them out, and they still took me down to half health.

Now I'm going to trying for some of the higher badges people have mentioned aren't too luck-based.  I'll probably start with UAC diamond, then if I manage that look at Shottyman Angelic.

[khiijol]

great run and a fine collection of badges! the nanosupershotgun is hilariously OP, especially if you take a shottyhead build. if you have this combo for angel of 666 you can just casually brush legions of bruisers and nightmare archviles off you to the point where gameplay gets quite boring

despite many on here saying shottyman angelic is the easiest angelic to get, its actually quite luck based in that you need to be able to clear the first level and have sergeants spawn on it so you can farm them over and over up to the required kill percentage

Thanks!

edit: No, I was right originally, Phobos Lab.

Oh I see a win button outta there - grats on getting one! (nano super shotty/P, it even says so in the wiki)

About nuking the UC - you can use the nuke while standing in lava - it'll BLOW UP at once :D and there's lava just beside the starting position in UC. Also grats with them nukes - last time I had to resort to trigunning a couple of Hell levels instead XDDD

That the nuke would go off immediately in lava would have been very helpful to know, thanks!
