You'd think I'd get tired of doing Vampyre runs. I wanted to make extra sure I could beat Unholy Cathedral, so I did that instead of mixing it up.

I never realized how good Longinus spear was at gibbing enemies, since I think it does plasma damage. I wanted to get ripper but I didn't get a single technical pack the entire game. Ripper is slightly higher DPS than the 9d9 weapons and its shorter attack time triggers berserker faster and can clear groups faster as well.

Anyway, I wasn't able to get lava immunity but I got Mt. Erebus which was the less punishing of the two possibilities there. Mortuary was tedious because even though I had plasmatic shrapnel, most of the corpses weren't getting destroyed until the first time they respawned. I had an acid spitter but struggled to use it in an efficient way, despite it being theoretically very powerful to make hazardous terrain in the mortuary.

[Omega Tyrant]

You'd think I'd get tired of doing Vampyre runs. I wanted to make extra sure I could beat Unholy Cathedral, so I did that instead of mixing it up.

Well if you want the path of least resistance with farming Diamonds/Angelics in 0.9.9.8, Vampyre is the way to go for any where Hellrunner won't be required. Hell you might even have had an easier time doing a fist run with Vampyre in AoSh and especially AoMr rather than playing them with an actual Shotgun/Pistol build.

I never realized how good Longinus spear was at gibbing enemies, since I think it does plasma damage.

Yes both the Spear and Scythe do plasma damage, which doesn't really matter for damage-dealing purposes, as doing 1 or more 2 points of damage from halving armor is negligible when you're dealing so much damage in a single hit anyway, but it does matter with making them extremely effective gibbing tools (though with some enemies getting plasma res in 0.9.9.9, there will be some instances where their plasma damage will be a hindrance). The Subtle Knife also deals plasma damage, but with how weak it is, you'll hardly notice that other than with gibbing Formers and Imps.

If you did all the special levels, how did you not find a single Tech mod for the Ripper though, did some of the mods get destroyed in crossfire? That's incredibly unlucky if legit none spawned at all (not that you really needed it though, when it's 0.9.9.8 Vampyre we're talking about here).

Anyway, I wasn't able to get lava immunity but I got Mt. Erebus which was the less punishing of the two possibilities there.

With Marine berserk resistances and a single level of TaN, you would have been reducing all lava damage to 1 anyway regardless of footwear and had Pain Elementals to farm, so you would have been in the clear here regardless, just another point for why Vampyre is so broken in 0.9.9.8 :p

I've updated the Badge Hunters thread with your new Diamonds and Angelics, congrats on taking the lead for having the most Angelics in 0.9.9.8 (though I'll be back to compete for that title in 0.9.9.9!).
