[M|AoRA|100%|YAAM] - The rare AoRA Conqueror

DoomRL > Post Mortem

(1/1)

Omega Tyrant:
As I did not feel like doing the grind to get Quartermaster Diamond again yet in 0.9.9.8, I went just for Quartermaster Gold on easy old HNTR, and got Skull Silver out of the way, so I won't need to do City of Skulls/Abyssal Plains in the eventual Quartermaster Platinum and Diamond runs if I'm not in a good position to do them (I especially wouldn't bother with Abyssal Plains on UV/N! even with Blademaster). Along the way though, I decided to see if I can check off doing a Conqueror on AoRA, and succeeded at that, a rare feat even on HNTR difficulty. Unfortunately unlike with my prior two mortems I posted here where I claimed the first AoI and AoD conquerors, I can't claim the first AoRa conqueror, as Papilio did me beat to it. Being the second to have done it is still nice though.

Unlike Papilio, who went with Gunrunner, I went the Int2 -> Blademaster route like I did previously for Quartermaster Diamond and getting Skull Silver previously in 0.9.9.7. This made Hell's Arena harder, and I was barely able to get Phobos Lab done (had to use a bunch of rocket jumps and finished with less than 30 seconds to spare), but made all the Deimos and Hell special levels a lot easier, particularly City of Skulls and Unholy Cathedral. In this particular run, I got blessed by a vault with a Combat Shotgun on floor 2, but then the luck balanced the other end when I got consecutive Lost Soul caves in the middle of Phobos. Sure that was good for being super easy levels to clear, but meant I got shafted a lot of EXP, and so I didn't even have Berserker by Phobos Lab, while later still didn't have Blademaster by City Of Skulls. City Of Skulls still ended up being pretty easy with Berserker + rocket jumping and a Shell Box-aided Tactical Shotgun, but Phobos Lab came close as stated before. Deimos Lab also came pretty close despite this just being HNTR, and I had to burn the Homing Phase I had after killing the Shamblers and cleaning out the mod cache (which included an Onyx mod, very good, but also a Sniper mod, useless), while having to skip on the weapon cache (which had a Nuclear Plasma Rifle and Combat Translocator, not at all useful for this run but I still would have wanted to pick them up to work towards Armorer Platinum/Diamond). For one more note, enemies being revealed on the final three and items being revealed when all enemies are dead is a very helpful addition for AoRA, which does make getting 100% kills in the normal levels a bit easier, but that does get counterbalanced by Intuition 2's extended enemy detection radius being nerfed, that likely ended up costing me my first run (this overall took me two attempts, where I Q+Y'd out on my first attempt in Hell's Arena because I missed an enemy when going back and forth, that costed me too much time to clear it).

As for doing a UV AoRA Conqueror run, I think it is possible, but it would be absurdly difficult, even moreso than getting Quartermaster Diamond, and only a Blademaster build could realistically do it. Maybe someday I'll try for that...
