[U|AoMs|100%|YAFW] - The first UV pure AoMs Conqueror
« on: September 26, 2024, 13:04 »

Here is the Youtube link to the video of the entire run if you want to watch it.

To get Masochist Platinum, you just have to beat Angel of Masochism on at least Hurt Me Plenty difficulty, in addition to having no levels in the Badass trait. However, after looking on the Chaosforge forums and seeing that no one has beaten pure AoMs as a Conqueror on Ultra-Violence difficulty (there were a few AoMs Conqueror mortems I found, but they were either on lower difficulties or mixed AoMs with AoMC), I decided to aim for achieving that instead of just getting the Platinum badge.

For the build, I decided to have some fun and do Malicious Blades, since I don't see it fitting in to any runs I have planned in the near future, while the generalist nature of it makes it good for Conqueror runs and the great defensive boosts it grants will make it quite useful for a challenge you cannot heal on command in. I deviate from its prerequisites at the start to take a level in Ironman, as each level of Ironman essentially gets you 10 more HP after every level up (and another temporary extra 20 boosted HP), while saving a point of damage from formers and melee attacks early on is also pretty useful. After that it's straight to Malicious Blades to get those defensive boosts as soon as possible.

However, on my first try at this, I get incredible item luck that killed much of the challenge. First I get a Duelist Armor in floor 5, a very useful armor in general for being one of the few in the game that makes you faster for wearing it rather than slower, but that combined with its 75% melee resistance makes the usually very difficult Phobos Lab a ton more easier, as with it I could outrun Nightmare Demons without having to activate run and reduce all their bites to 1 damage when they got in (especially handy in a challenge where you cannot restore your tactics on a floor without certain powerups). Then in Deimos Lab, the weapon cache had a Frag Shotgun that was useless, but much more importantly a Super Shotgun, and then not only that, the mod cache after killing the Shamblers had not just one but TWO Nano mods (now killing the Shamblers without being able to heal would normally be a huge threat, but with Malicious Blades' 75% melee restance + 10%  from Ironman, I could reduce all their melee attacks to 1 damage even with just Blue Armor, so after releasing them I immediately ran into one of the little mod rooms and waited until one teleported inside, where I was able to melee them individually to death without getting hit by any plasma bolts). With these Nano mods, I was able to make the broken Nano Shrapnel Super Shotgun, and Antigrav Boots (which let me get Technician Platinum too as that was the last advanced assembly I needed on 0.9.9.8), to ensure I could basically never get touched while never needing to worry about ammo (and when I did get hit, MMB ensured that damage wasn't much if it was anything but plasma or acid). Then shortly after that in Deimos 3 I find a Phaseshift Armor to make me even faster than Duelist Armor can, which when combined with the Antigrav Boots, meant I was getting about four to six moves for every move an enemy made. And late in the game I find a Medical Armor for good measure, whose ability to restore your health to 50% when it drops below at the expense of its durability still works in AoMs, meaning I had a means to heal at low health (I also discovered during this run that the Blood Skulls can still heal you in AoMs too after wasting the first one I got from the Agony Elemental, and then I found another one of those too randomly).

So basically, everything after Deimos Lab is a complete cakewalk where I just infinite Super Shotgun everything to death while moving as fast as actual Doom Guy, and so this run isn't really a good representation of this challenge as you'll almost never get this lucky, but hey, still the first UV pure AoMs Conqueror win, and the nature of Roguelikes is that you sometimes get incredibly lucky.
