I've been continuing to work through achievements and I was now trying to get all assemblies and artifacts. I played HNTR Ao100+AoMr and found 2 dragonslayers which I had to leave behind. Then I played two Ao100 vampyres merely to find a single nano in each. After looking at the plat achievements I had yet to collect, I really wanted to take out the assemblies, artifacts and char level 25.
So I decided to go back on my word and take on 666 knowing it would mean lots more artifacts and hopefully nano kits. As @OmegaTyrant mentioned, Vampyre is game-shattering but after getting through the dungeon, I struggle to believe you could make it another way. As you work your way into the latter half of the game, some levels started with over 200 monsters. Navigating that without berserk and healing seems improbable without savescumming.
I didn't find it much of a grind even though it was 10.5hrs. The first 100 was interesting as I was level clearing, and the second 100 fine. After about 300, when the monsters picked up, and I finally got dragonslayer and the last nano I needed, I started to dive more seriously.
* I only found about 1 chainsaw every 100 levels, the first at 120 and the second at 230. Possibly they were being blown up but chainsword (P) is a perfectly fine weapon.
* In the early game I spent a lot of time clearing the full map, looking for nanos.
* Antigrav boots were awesome. Far less time taking damage, and realising that they self-heal is great. At one point I just pottered about on a lava elemental level and checked them, only to find they were at 2%. Phew!
* Picking up Hell's staff was great for diving because it was a free phase and potentially more, opening up the possibility of quicker access to stairs (ideally), a computer map (pretty good) or just health to try another phase.
* Getting Cerberus boots early on is very helpful to have the confidence to walk anywhere and destroy ranged monsters. Later on antigrav boots are the better trade - reducing hits (and they regenerate).
* Given you don’t need armor, focus on speed (and onyx protection purely for comfort). Faster means more you, less monsters and less pressing enter to get through the messages. Phaseshift APO armor is awesome, as are antigrav plasteel boots. Down to 0.16s while berserk (i.e. always since early on).
* All nests are comfortably clearable except nightmare arachnotrons. I did one to show I could and then skipped the rest. Very risky in open arenas.
* Levels get very dense later on.
* Felt good to get a full victory
Tips for newcomers:
* Don’t bother nuking or going for levers – you won’t get the achievement.
* If you weren't sure, you can reach level 25 before dungeon level 100 by clearing levels. I think I got there about dlevel 89.
My favorite moment was having some fun in a pain elemental nest. Got up to 480 monsters left on the level!
Finally, a big shout out to OmegaTyrant for his great advice, and Epyon for giving me so much fun!
