Another Journey to 100%

<< < (2/6) > >>

Icy:
Day 4
I started off going for Scavenger Diamond Badge with Angel of Berserk and Overconfidence, intending to use the Azrael strategy. This would get me a pile of badges without too much difficulty, but unfortunately the runs I had past Unholy Cathedral all died or didn't have enough Med-Paks.

Some interesting setups during runs:

I can't remember if I had done this before, but I thought this trick was pretty nifty to help on low health runs, and makes use of the full inventory.

One run I had with Azrael's didn't go particularly well:

This was a very nice setup before Unholy Cathedral, but unfortunately it went to waste as I died almost immediately after before taking advantage of the items:

And this was a bit silly:

This was another nice setup that didn't pan out after:

So after some attempts, I turned my attention to Assembly grinding. My strategy for this is combining Angel of Confidence and Max Carnage and playing through Hell's Armory and Deimos Lab. Even with a stairdive in, it's pretty easy to complete almost every run.

Along the way, I also got Shambler's Head:

I am currently missing three Master Assemblies (Cybernano, Biggest BFG, Ripper) and decided to start an Archangel of 666 game. I'm going with a Shotgun and Melee hybrid, intending to get Experience Level 25, collect piles of Specials to reach three of each, score some kills, hopefully get Apostle Insignia, and get some of my missing Assemblies. Because Cybernano is permanent, I won't be getting that, and if I happen to get Dragonslayer before the two weapons, those will have to be passed on too.

I had a very strong start, assembling Cerberus Boots on just level 14:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Having these so early help a ton. Fluid immunity, better tactical setup, taking advantage of flooding levels, and so much more. They're seriously amazing for not requiring special paks.

Not too long after, I also found my ideal pre-Dragonslayer weapon:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Despite not being my ideal pick, I also was fortunate to find this:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
And just three levels later:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
So now I'm pretty well set to make an awesome weapon as well as one of my missing assemblies. The next floor, I also found my ideal armor:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Generally speaking, I like to make Cybernano Energy-Shielded Vest, but because I need to wear Berserker Armor later, I'm planning on going with AOP instead, which isn't too much worse overall.

Ammo was getting to be a bit tight, but having an early Railgun has been helping with its fantastic damage-per-ammo ratio. As it was starting to deplete quite a bit more, I found this, which is also my ideal base:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I was fortunate not to toss my Firestorm Paks for more ammo room, although I didn't hold Bulk Paks. At least ammo isn't a long-term issue now. HNTR has extremely low monster density, that I can easily run away if I need to take multiple shots.

This floor turned out to not be all that difficult, but it looked very scary:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
And the next floor, I found a twin:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Now I'm really solid on long-term ammo.

A little later, I also found the final piece to my armor:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
And that's about as far as I went. I saved upon entering floor 60, but there should be no issues for this run:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Hopefully everything goes as planned. I'm still in dire need of a Nano Pak to help reduce the weapon rotating and needing to carry ammo. I'll definitely keep both Nuclear BFGs, but will toss out my Railgun and Tactical Shotgun once I cna finish my Super Shotgun. Ideally, I don't find Dragonslayer until much later so that I can work on my assemblies as well. I may consider holding onto the pieces of Cybernano on the off-chance I can't pickup Dragonslayer, but that shouldn't happen under any circumstances.

Icy:
Day 5
Continuing my run through 666, I finally found some Bulk Paks to build Biggest BFG and it helped a ton with mass clearing, especially with infinite ammo as that was still a concern.

It was a bit annoying juggling 4 different weapons based on ammo and speed, but at least progression was not too difficult. Later on, I found another special pak:

And again:

Still no Nano. Firestorm would also be nice to further enhance my Biggest BFG. One interesting floor gave me this setup:

And finally on floor 135, I finally got a Nano Pak. Fortunately I didn't blast the room with a BFG shot:

Now with Nano Super Shotgun (P), I was facerolling everything and was able to empty out a good chunk of my inventory. I opted to hang on to Railgun and Cells, which could be useful for a Cyberdemon complex, but tossed my regular Nuclear BFG and Tactical Shotgun.

Floors like this are where Biggest BFG helps out a lot:

Eventually I reached level 25 to get Experience Cross for later. I also kept finding Nano Paks, about 5 of them, despite having no realistic use for them anymore.

A fair bit later, I found these Boots:

Since my goal is also to buff up my kill count towards 50000, I ran around on this floor to farm spawns before blasting everything:

While easy, this was another wild floor:

Then on floor 256, I finally was ready to start the next phase of this run:

These are my stats before I changed my gear. I was intending to go for 100% kills, but it gets too risky without Vampyre and let go of that goal pretty quickly after.

Picking it up was also tricky since there was lots of lava and I had to find a corpse setup to use my Hatred Skull. I made it work though:

Not too long after, I also found this, thankfully:

And the last major piece for my build:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Once I swapped to the Imperial set, I was stairdiving everything, only detouring to collect some power-ups and killing Cyberdemons. I think if I really wanted to, I could have got 100% kills, but it's not worth the time or risk.

Long after, I got to the last floor to fight the Apostle. I was fortunate to have this to help:

But the map was honestly terrible for this fight and it ran out before I could find him. I was getting slightly worried as monsters were beginning to flood in, but eventually I found him:

Nice message:

And with that, I got a pile of general kills, Cyberdemon kills, Experience Cross, and Apostle Insignia. The first 256 floors took about 9 hours, and the last 410 took about 2 hours. Quite a lot of effort for only a couple of rewards, but it's necessary.

Next, I decided to finish up my assemblies. I was grinding more Angel of Confidence and Max Carnage, but was not really finding any Schematics or useful special paks. I took a look into the coding of the levels and it appears that greater rewards are given when you complete the level on higher difficulties and if you don't take damage. So I switched to Ultra-Violence and played to not get hit, and got this on my first successful run:

The next successful run, I didn't get Schematics for Cybernano, but got the next best result:

And for my next challenge, I was going to play Angel of Lightfoot and Max Carnage on Nightmare with no Melee kill and under 20000 steps. Quite a combo, but I would earn a pile of badges if I could complete it.

I had a pretty strong start through Phobos, but nothing too extraordinary. Entering Deimos level 1, I was greeted with this:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The next few levels, I had very fortunate stair placements, like this one:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Then on floor 6, I had a bit of a mess to deal with:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
While I did have a Homing Phase Device, I really wanted the Invulnerability. With some careful movements and firing, I was able to get to it without too much trouble:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
On floor 7, I found this, but unfortunately it was destroyed as I rushed to grab it:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
So with wanting to save my Cells, I went for a setup against the Cyberdemon like this. Dodgemaster made it trivial, but I had to dodge two rockets per shot, so it took a little while:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Unfortunately, I rolled a horrible Hell level 1:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
And it got worse:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I had to use all my remaining Cells and Med-Paks, only to barely survive. Going the long way around was a crawl due to only have Shells for all the Revenants. I managed to get through to the Unholy Cathedral exit, with this along the way:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
This level was also scary:

However, I found this, which would make the end trivial:

I was further tempted for the Megasphere, but decided not to push:

Floor 3, I had this mess:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Running low on options, I decided to take a huge gamble:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
And could not have asked for a better result!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Floor 4 gave me a break with an awesome start:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
And the next two floors went pretty smoothly. On to floor 7:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I decided on using up my Plasma instead of rushing for the corner. There were a number of monsters from the left and upper area, but after managing to clear it, I found a bunch of helpful items:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The rest of the walk to the stairs was starting to get really sketchy though:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Bolting for the end through the top, I had very little left and was not in a good spot:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
With some more fortune, I made it:

Naturally, I blew up the Mastermind and that was a wrap! Amazingly, this took only two tries to get, which is awesome! Triple Lightfoot Badges!

Overall, this was a very successful day and I got some of the big grinds finished. I still need to kill a bunch of Cyberdemons, lots of monsters in general, and am missing Frag Shotgun to finish my collection of Specials. I already have 3 of almost all of them, so finishing that won't take too long. I'm not really keen on another 100 or 666 run, so I'll chip away at them through other games. I'll probably go for more badge combos, aiming to earn some Diamond Badges, which will yield me corresponding Silver, Gold, and Platinum.

Icy:
Day 6
Today's first target was UAC Diamond Badge, by beating a standard Nightmare game in under 20 minutes. In doing so, I would also get a pile of other badges, and it's not too overly difficult, it just needs some luck. Naturally, there aren't too many screenshots.

My first good run got to the Cyberdemon, but even with Invulnerability, I couldn't kill him without Brute. I always start with Intuition x2, and then Hellrunner, and from there I either go with Brute or Hellrunner to prepare for Dodgemaster. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough experience and died on what was a very good pace.

Another run that got quite far, I was blasted deep into lava from a Mancubus. Both those and Revenants firing so much more frequently makes it hard to control where you go and I had lost many other runs fighting against what was essentially a repelling magnetic field.

This was a really frustrating result where I had Invulnerability and was adjacent to the stairs to Dis, but an army of Nightmare Demons kept piling up on it and I couldn't get through.

By the time I entered Dis, my Invulnerability was already all gone:

Here is another amusing screenshot moments before death. I absolutely required the Invulnerability and my only realistic option was to dive for it, which got blocked by Demons:

After some more attempts, I managed to get it done, at a very fast 10:52! I recall having two Phase Devices drop me off right at the stairs and I had stacks of Berserk and Invulnerability, so it was definitely a lucky run, moreso than was actually needed. Still need to cut 7 more minutes...

Next, I wanted to get Shottyman Angelic Badge, which requires Overconfidence and Shotgunnery on Nightmare with 50% kills. Of course though, two Diamond Badges are also possible with 80% kills, so I decided to go for the trio.

My first good run started on the first level with this nice setup. Notice that there is also a lava tile in front of the door, which made destroying all other corpses very easy:

Once everything else was clearly, I adjusted the positioning for double kill shots:

After close to half an hour of setup and kill grinding, I left the first level with these stats:

Now, this is obviously risky because I still had the rest of the game to play out, but the setup was too good to pass up. On floor 2, I was greeted with this disaster:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I opted to shoot the right Mancubus into lava and dashed to the right side. AT least that area had a nice positioning setup, and also had the flooding switch, which made corpse disposal trivial:

In hindsight, I should have stairdived, but was too worried about dying. I couldn't fire from either door with a barrel in front of both, both angled directly to the group of monsters, so I went to the right and fought them there. It got messy and I had to charge to the bottom corner:

Unfortunately, inside was a Mancubus, Arachnatron, and an Archvile, all of which I couldn't really deal with, I tried to pick off the Mancubus in the water from above but others wandered out and I got into this mess:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
My tactic here was to meat shield with the Archvile, approach within melee range when it raises its arms, and ideally let the Arachnatron get the finishing blow while I shut the door on it. The Mancubus in the upper left would be crawling downward, so it should give enough time to run back up before the Zombieman and others could re-open the door.

And fortunately, it all worked out!

Floor 6 cut me a break:

And floor 7 presented me with another puzzle:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I wasn't sure what was in the bottom area, so I assumed Archviles. Weighing all the options, I decided to shoot at the pack to back them up and alert them, and so when I would go down and left, they would chase me, but not initially see me. Unfortunately, it was worse than Archviles:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
With luck and barely anything left, I managed to get to the stairs to Dis!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I had a giant pile of ammo and had a guaranteed win here, but I had to play extremely safe and slow. It took a long time to kill the Spider Mastermind, but I got it done!

My next goal was beating ITYTD with only my Fists and killing everything, which would get me a couple of rewards.

On floor 3, I saw a really interesting room. I have never seen a group spawn like this naturally:

On floor 6, I found a very early one of these:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Deimos floor 7 was also very nice:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
One of the odd things was I found something like 20 paks at only half way through the run, of which about 10 were Power, and not a single one was Agility, which would have helped to make Piercing Chainsaw and Ballistic Armor.

On Hell floor 7, I was also greeted with this:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
And I was thinking, maybe I'll go for a full win with just my fists, but as I explored the other room, my Cybernetic Armor was completely damaged, giving me no protection and very slow movement. Bad armor:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
So unfortunately, I had to burn through all of my Med-Paks and use up the Invulnerability for this floor. I was still able to kill the Spider Mastermind though, but it was a bit sketchy.

Next, I went for Gambler's Shield to finish my normal Medals. I combined Max Carnage and Light Travel for making the gameplay easier and went with a Shotgun build. I was lucky to get many triple levers with armor repair, summoning enemies, and others, because I had the absolute worst luck possible with bonus levels. Instead of Phobos Lab, Deimos Lab, City of Skulls, Limbo, and Mt. Erebus, I had all of the others. In any case, I got it done.

Overall, another great day of progress, and it's nice to have an Angelic Badge again, even if it's pretty eas

Icy:
Day 7
Today, I decided to go for Inquisitor Diamond Badge, beating Angel of Purity as a Marine on Nightmare. It's a tough one, but with some luck, it's not too terrible and I honestly think it's a lot of fun. My strategy for it is to also use Angel of Overconfidence, and go with Eagle Eye x2 -> Intuition x2. If I make it to Dis, I have 465 bullets for the Spider Mastermind to very slowly chip away at her. Naturally, a run like this requires lots of luck and is very much a monkey typerwriter strategy, but it does work.

Here are some screenshots of interesting and amusing scenarios:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Pain Elemental caves are one of the best floors to roll and are usually clearable, giving a chance for lots of useful items. The only major downside is it often uses most if not all of the Shells.

Here's the entrance of my first run to floor 6:

And I rolled a terrible floor 7:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
RIP

Another run to floor 6:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
And another to floor 6. I didn't have any Med-Paks, so I opted to run upwards and try to loop around them.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Nope.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
On floor 6, I found a detour to gather some needed experience:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Another run slowly turning into a disaster:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Just not having it.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I had an insane first floor which was a Pain Elemental cave filled with useful stuff. Here are my screens before leaving:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I entered a pretty bad floor 2:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I used my Homing Phase Device, and on floor 3, I explored a huge portion of the level, not able to find the stairs:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
But that's how it goes.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Another run to floor 7, and yet another awful roll:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I'll let you guess what happened.

Here was an odd floor with a set of doors I have never seen before:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I really wanted this:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Onto another floor 6 with a big stack of items and experience level 5:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Floor 7:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Once again, rolling a terrible floor and not finding the stairs:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
And not catching a break:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
On this run, I gained the needed experience very early and made use of Intuition:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
And found the stairs to floor 4:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Scary, but overall lucky floor 4:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
And landing immediately into another Arachnatron cave. Fortunately, the hiding spot above me was exactly the distance to be out of the bottom Arachnatron's vision:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Not a great floor 6:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Fortunately I managed to clear it without much trouble:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Looks like I can avoid the mess above:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
And even nab a quick extra:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Onto yet another floor 7 that isn't particularly great looking:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Getting messy fast:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Good Phase Device though overall:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Things got rough fast though:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Another one gone:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I found a Rocket Launcher near the Mortuary, so instead of Phase Device luck, let's try rocket jumping:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Nope.

Onto another floor 6. This was a decent start and I figured I would need to get the rest of the experience now in order to figure out my approach:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
After carefully picking off the enemies, I was rewarded quite nicely:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
And yet another terrible floor 7:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Let's try a Phase Device:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Let's try another:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Let's try the teleporter:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Unfortunately, I was getting chased along:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Most of the left area was clear, but I had to kill piles of tough monsters with lots of tight movements:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I found the stairs!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
And a Mancubus...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I opted to take the risk to jump onto the tile and he didn't fire!

After many, many attempts, I finally had my run! I had nothing useful but ammo in my inventory and was practically a corpse upon entering Dis, so I would have to take everything extremely carefully and slowly. First, I went through all of my Shells. Then I switched to Combat Pistol, setup an aimed shot to start using up my bullets and...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I don't know what I was thinking, but I had a total lapse in judgement to use an aimed shot. I actually survived the first blast of damage, and in a second lapse of judgement, I activated running instead of ducking around the corner and was killed over an incredibly stupid mistake. All I had to do was take normal shots and it was a guaranteed win, but instead, I'm back to floor 1.

It really sucks and is not the best feeling in the world, but I will continue playing for Inquisitor Diamond. Hopefully I can just nuke her upon arrival.

For the record, I have done 472 runs so far. That might seem like an insane amount of play, but keep in mind that the majority of these runs never leave the first floor, often dying within 10 or so seconds. For reference, the last time I earned this badge, it took 353 tries and I suspected I was somewhat lucky in doing so. Given that I should have had this done on attempt 472, I think an average of 400ish is a good estimate. I've had pretty bad luck on floor 6 and 7 among these runs as well and have always had to go on a huge scavenger hunt for the stairs.

I think I'll get this soon, this time without choking.

Icy:
Day 8
After choking a guaranteed win for Inquisitor Diamond Badge, I went out trying for it again. Along the way, I got some more interesting screenshots.

Usually an arena level, especially on floor 1 is death, but I was able to work around the monsters and had the layout that allows for easy camping to rack up lots of ammo:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Unfortunately, I was surrounded and killed soon after in the next floors.

Here is another amazingly awful start:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

On one run with lava islands, I was slowly picking off enemies along the left two islands, ran out of ammo and used a Phase Device and fortunately landed on the other one. After some more monster clearing, I found the stairs on a pretty dead run, but decided to play it out:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
On floor 5, I found the stairs almost immediately and made a mad dash for them:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
On floor 6, I roll an Arachnatron cave, but had one of the exits two steps away!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
And floor 7 was a Pain Elemental cave! With no Shells though, I had to guess and hope for the stairs before being flooded over with Lost Souls:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
And I got lucky!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
So I once again arrived at Dis and took some precautions. First off, I immediately started running and stopped, and I also decided to only take shots when the Spider Mastermind was one tile out and never two. In other words, I would shoot here:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
But not here:

As you can imagine, it took forever, but I was patient and disciplined enough and got it done!

It took another 227 runs since my failed attempt, which is significantly faster than expected. It happened on what I thought was a dead run as well before getting a ridiculous string of good luck.

While it took a lot of effort to get the badge, along the way, I got lots of monster kills and specials, so I can improve my other ranking relatively sooner now once I get the Cyberdemon kills needed, and I'm closer to the Armorer Diamond Badge.

I decided while in the flow of things to go for Eagerness Diamond Badge next, which is very similar. Being able to grab Invulnerabilities, Soulspheres, and Computer Maps are a huge help, even at the trade-off of harder starts without the Med-Paks.

This run was a nice start by isolating enemies and camping on the stairs:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
It didn't last long though.

On another run with being able to use Invulnerability again, I had a much more realistic chance on getting through the Mortuary:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Although I had some stacked Invulnerability, it was starting to run a bit low as I had a long dash through floor 5:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Got an insane roll for floor 6!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
And another on floor 7, and with another Invulnerability!

As I charged for it, I was quickly surrounded though and had to slowly pick out a hole through a wall of Nightmare Demons:

After running into the large body of lava to the left, they slowly died out and I grabbed a Power Battery as I went for Dis:

I had a guaranteed win again, but was able to speed up the process significantly with having lots of Plasma ammo, and Invulnerability for part of the fight:

Overall, Eagerness Diamond Badge took 81 runs, which again was mostly dying on floor 1, but it's clearly a significantly easier badge to earn.

Now that the badges requiring a certain class are done, I can go back to using Scout and early Intuition. While I was already of the belief that it's one of the best traits in the game, its power was really demonstrated when I had to play without it for quite awhile. Generally speaking, the only time I use other classes is when I am doing a Melee run and want Vampyre, and will likely continue sticking with that.

I'm not sure what I want to play for next, maybe I'll finish getting 50000 kills and 100 Cyberdemons kills and start working towards 50 JC kills, or maybe I'll clean up my Silver and Gold Badges. I kind of want to go for something easier I think.
