Nightmare! / Re: [N!|AoMr|72%|YAVP] Who needs guns? Guns are for wusses! (Marksman Diamond)
« on: October 15, 2011, 06:33 »
Nooooo!  Don't take my Vampyre away!  :P  (Thanks for the praise, though)  :)

Also, I'd just like to say that I would never have discovered DoomRL if not for a link from Curly's World of Freeware.  (Someone suggested I plug the site and it's non-profit, so I think it's okay)  Some of the links there seem to be broken lately, but there are a lot of great games freely available there for anyone who has some time to kill.  :)

Ah, thanks!  :)  Well, in that case, I guess I should outline my strategy a bit more...

Getting Vampyre trait is the key to victory; once you get that, the rest becomes fairly easy...ish...  ;)  For the first few levels, I just headed straight for the stairs and left most of my enemies alive.  Chained Court is a huge boon for all the berserk packs; it's the best way to accumulate enough experience to get Vampyre, and/or go down enough stairs until Invulnerability globes start spawning.

Once I had Vampyre, any level that had at least one Pain Elemental got cleared out.  I would use the lost souls to regenerate my health and charge up my berserk power, then I would go on a berserk rampage, punching out as much as I could until either my berserk ran out, or my health got too low and then I would return to the Pain Elemental and repeat.  Corpses could be removed by standing over them and letting enemies with splash damage hit me.  When I was ready to leave the level, I would lure the Pain Elemental over to the stairs, kill it, and get myself zerked up for the next level.

Another tactic I used a few times was to corner-shoot at enemies to attract their attention and lure them into an isolated and vulnerable position.  I got imps, Barons, Knights, and at one point, a Mancubus, this way without even being berserk.  (It was something I couldn't do during my Demonic Diamond game, so it made this run easier)

So, Angel of Marksmanship lets you use two weapons, pistols and your fists...  Since the Marksman Diamond denies you the opportunity to upgrade your pistol ability, I decided to work on the fists.  :)  (And considering I got Demonic Diamond recently, this was actually easier!)

My strategy was the same that I used for Demonic Diamond, (except that I was free to occasionally shoot people if I felt like it)  :)  get to the Chained Court as soon as possible and make those berserks last as long as possible and then farm Pain Elementals for health once I got Vampyre trait.

One story from this game I have to relate:

The most tense moment was at the end of level 11, because my berserk ran out and I was out of med-packs and armour and I hadn't gotten Vampyre yet.  (Level 5 with 99% of the way to level 6!)  :|  I found myself caught between an Arch-Vile in one direction and a Commando in the other.  Given that choice, I ran toward the Commando, side-stepping repeatedly to dodge as much of his fire as I could, and then just as I spotted the stairs, a freakin' Arachnotron came into view and I was getting plasma barrages from two different directions!  When I was 1 square away from the stairs, I was at 5% health and I stared at the screen for a long moment and said to myself, "There's no way I'm going to survive that last step..." but I must have been channeling Jules from Pulp Fiction because I took that last step and two barrages of plasma fire missed me completely!  :o

I went downstairs to level 12 and my hopes died again because I started surrounded by sergeants, imps, a couple of Hell Knights, and a commando.  So, I did the only thing I could do:  Punch out an imp to bring myself up to level 6 and get Vampyre trait and quickly run around the corner into an alcove out of their view which was luckily empty except for a former human who I punched out too.  The commando followed me, so I corner-shot him almost to death and finished him off with my fist.  I then stood there for quite some time between the commando, former human, and imp, knocking them down any time one of them got up and slowly got my health back.  Things briefly got tense again when another imp came around the corner and destroyed the former human and commando bodies, but I was able to lure the imp over, along with one of his buddies, and soon I had 3 imp bodies safely tucked away out of anyone's view and I could punch them out to my heart's content any time any of them got up.  Once I had enough health to make me confident enough and I was zerking again, I charged out, found the stairs, and the rest is history.  :)

So, that's it!  God Hand skill rank!  WOO!  :D  I can still remember when I first discovered this game almost a year ago and Diamond Badges seemed impossible.  (Win Nightmare difficulty with only your fists?  How ridiculous!  No one could do that!)  :P  I'm hoping I can be an inspiration to people to show that it really is possible!  Once you realize you have the ability, you might as well aim high.  :)

I recommend M AoPc speedruns. If I had to guess I would say I got about 6-10 Cyberdemons per hour that way.

Good suggestion!  I'll give that a try.  Thanks!  :)

Quote from: Game Hunter on October 14, 2011, 07:52
That is exactly the case. I included medals to that page just now as to be more accurate, but we've known that this is the case for some time now. This isn't an oversight of the game, it's executed as intended. (Had you been invulnerable at the time of nuke, however, it should have counted.)
Yes. Of course, this also works in reverse: if you happen to be holding a rocket launcher for wall-busting purposes and a demon kills itself in lava, that kill will be counted toward rocket launchers. I've outlined the general strategy on the Strategy:Fists page, though certainly your Demonic Diamond victory know-how can help that page out.

Jeez!  I wish I'd known about this stuff sooner!  It would have made my Demonic Diamond Badge a hell of a lot easier!  I did that whole thing using only my fists!  :o  That's what I get for trying to avoid spoilers!  :)

Quote from: S.K. Ren on October 14, 2011, 03:04
Tormuse, if you are feeling bored I challenge you to achieve the following (for fun of course). Make a MMB technician and make a Fireshield Duelist Armor in the same game. That goal should keep you occupied as you build up Cybie kills.

Heh, considering that I have only encountered an Onyx mod once ever, this seems unlikely, however, I did just play a game in which I assembled a Cerberus Duelist Armor in a Vampyre game.  Whenever I went berserk, *all* my resistances went up to 95%!  :)

EDIT:  Oh, and FYI, I came pretty close to getting Marksman Diamond yesterday.  Level 21, the furthest I've ever gotten.  It's doable, folks!  :)

It looks like you have all the ingredients for Gravity Boots there, including Whizkid level 1.  That should be all you need.  You just need to put the second Agility mod on last.  Put them on in order ANA or NAA.  It doesn't let you add a second of the same type of mod unless you're completing the assembly.

Heh, the former. Don't retire now though, keep rockin'! :D

We'll see.  :)  I'm debating whether to get one of the "easier" Diamonds for my fifteenth like Destroyer just to get it over with, or if I should try for something more spectacular like one of the never achieved ones, like Marksman, Inquisitor, or Everyman.  I have ideas for builds for all three of those, but nothing I've pulled off yet.

Quote from: Game Hunter on October 13, 2011, 17:34
Whenever an enemy dies, the game checks to see what you're holding in order to determine what weapon was used to kill it. So long as you have "nothing" in that weapon slot, it'll count as killing with your fists. (If you have anything to refute this, I would be interested in seeing it.)

All I have is this mortem from early on in this version:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I was trying to get Sunrise Iron Fist as Conqueror.  When I didn't get the SIF badge, I assumed it was because I nuked JC with a Nuclear Plasma Rifle.  It was the only instance in the game that I wielded a weapon.  (aside from the chainsaw, which I quickly unwielded, and my starting pistol, which I also quickly unwielded before fighting anything)  On further reflection, it could be that I didn't get SIF because I died with the nuke.  Perhaps it doesn't count as a victory if you nuke JC the same as if you nuke the Cyberdemon?

Incidentally, is it really only if something dies while you have a weapon in your hand?  Does that mean you can, for example, break down The Wall with a rocket launcher and still get SIF?  ...or hit Cybie with a few BFG blasts and then finish him off with your fists and still get SIF?

@Game Hunter, I've looked over the badges guide and yes, there are a lot of additions and changes I'd like to make to it.  (For example, one thing that jumped out at me was your recommendation to use the nuclear BFG to nuke Cybie for the Demonic Diamond badge; that counts as weapon usage and would invalidate the badge!  I would hate for someone to get all the way to the end using only their fists just to lose the badge at the last second)  I'm not sure when I'll get around to making the changes; as I've indicated in other threads, I have other priorities in my life that I really should be focusing on right now and I've spent far too much time playing this game lately.  Coordinating about the strategy sections on the wiki is also a good idea, but again, I don't feel that I should be taking on other projects when I have things like employment to worry about.  If I do get around to it, I will definitely let you know, but don't get your hopes up about it.  I'm sorry I can't give a more favourable response.

@Parasait, why's that?  Because I'm approaching God Hand rank, or because I'm thinking of retiring?  :)

But seriously, so many diamonds with 460 recorded attempts on this file?  You must have learnt your material well!

Well, there are also a whole bunch of attempts in previous versions...  I just looked back at my old mortems and I made 658 attempts before achieving my first Diamond, and it was an easy one, (back then) Longinus Diamond.  I did most of my learning back then.  :)

Quote from: thelaptop on October 12, 2011, 07:18
Also, why stop at God Hand?  You should level up your kill experience to Cyberdemon too just to make things you know, complete.

Heh, yeah, I'll probably play about 80 ITYTD games just to level up my Cyberdemon kills.  :)

Quote from: Game Hunter on October 12, 2011, 07:56
Well God Hand is probably the most impressive thing ever, but an Arch-vile God Hand isn't as revered as an Apostle God Hand, not to mention you probably still have some medals to collect.

Apostle God Hand?  How do I get that?  There's a reference to "Apostle Insignia" on the wiki, but it doesn't really say how to get it.

Quote from: Game Hunter on October 12, 2011, 07:56
I'd be ecstatic if you took the time to record these with Roguelike Studio, or wrote down what you consider good strategy for getting any of these badges. And before you say "well I got lucky" I'm pretty sure everyone here knows that you need to get lucky in order to win N! games. But you also need to be pretty damn good in order to make that luck mean anything. Surely you're a better writer for the badges guide than I am right now.

I downloaded and tried out Roguelike Studio recently when the Speedrun compo started and it gave me trouble when I tried to record with it.  There's a delay of about a second between each keypress and anything happening on the screen which makes the game unplayable.  :(  I think my computer is just too old; one of the reasons I play Roguelikes is that modern games don't work for me.  :)

And sure, I can write up some hints and tips for badge-huinters.  Is there a thread for that, or should I put it here?

Nightmare! / [N!|Ao100|84%|YAVP] Blood! Blood for Armok! God of blood! (Centurial Diamond)
« on: October 12, 2011, 06:36 »
Well, I finally had a successful Angel of 100 Vampyre build!  :D  I just have one more Diamond to go and I can retire my DoomRL career as a God Hand.  :)

Notes on this run:

I almost rage-quit on level 2 when I accidentally destroyed a berserk pack.  I guess I can be glad I didn't.  :)

I held off on assembling a chainsword until I could be sure I could get an additional upgrade for it, (someone recently told me how to mod assembled items) which probably risked the run.  I wish I could say the risk paid off, but I found a chainsaw just afterward and ended up throwing the chainsword away after all.  :P

When I found the Hell Staff, I was planning to throw it away once I found a homing phase device, because I'd rather have something more reliable that I know where it's going to take me.  I generally consider regular phase devices (and the Hell Staff) to be too dangerous to use on Nightmare difficulty, but in this case, it turned out to be useful on several occasions, so I kept it until the end.

My tactical armour was destroyed the very next level after I made it by a barrage from Arch-Viles and Barons.  :|  But I found Malek's Armour on the very same level, which I wore until the end, so it all worked out.  :)

Those Cerberus Boots almost killed me!  I found the Cerberus Boots assembly purely by accident while slapping a whole bunch of mods on my boots, so I tried it out, mostly for the novelty of getting a Master Assembly for the first time.  Pretty soon, I found myself unable to escape from a group of Revenants and Arch-Viles and when I was down to my last med-pack, I took off the boots and found I fared much better.  Being able to walk over lava and acid is nice, but a 30% speed-reduction is deadly to a melee build!  :|

Interesting thing about the Acid Spitter:  It gives you 75% acid protection while you're wielding it, which includes protection from attacks from Barons!  (I don't think it's really a spoiler to say that, since their in-game description says they throw balls of acid)  From then on, I kept the Acid Spitter as my primary weapon, taking advantage of Juggler trait to fight with my power-modded double chainsaw in my prepared slot.  I charged into groups of Barons and Bruiser Brothers without fear for the rest of the game.  (Actually, for the last 40 levels or so, my Iro and TaN levels were high enough that I could charge into pretty much *any* group without fear)

For a good part of the mid-game, I worked on clearing every level, but at some point in the 50's or 60's I just decided to make a run for the exit as soon as possible each time.  If I had cleared a few more levels, I probably would have gotten an Experience Cross.  (I was pretty close to level 25!)

For the last half of the game, I was pretty much unstoppable.  If I understand the way the Berserker trait works correctly, I had, on average, a 23% chance of going berserk with each hit of my power-modded double chainsaw, so even if my berserk ever ran out, I could get it back with just a few hits.  And with the protection from being berserk and from the Malek's Armour, I was taking very little damage from anyone.  I could charge headlong into groups of Arch-Viles, Revenants, Mancubi, Arachnotrons...  you name it!  I came out of every skirmish on top.  I'm rather disappointed that I didn't encounter any Cyberdemons, since I'm sure I would've made short work of them.

I did it once, coincidentally also in 0.9.9.2!  I know that it needs a lot of luck going into HA to get it, so congrats!  It looks like you did better than I did!  :)  (Especially without the Butcher's Cleaver!)

What diamond badges are you still missing?

Hmm...  Let's see...

Technician, (I don't think I'll ever get that one, considering the ridiculous number of nano mods I would need; I think the best way to do it would be to play Ao100 as a Technician, get Scavenger trait, and scavenge any uniques I find, hoping to get nano mods)  EDIT:  Oh yeah!  I forgot about schematics in Hell's Armory!  As long as it can give you Master Assembly schematics, I guess it's doable.  Just play a bunch of games going up to the Armory, and I suppose you'll get it eventually.

Armorer, (I'm pretty close; just three uniques left!)

Heroic, (Some of those secret medals are crazier than the Diamond badges!  I don't think I'll be getting that one)

UAC, (Considering my success with Speedrunner Diamond, this one is very possible!)

Marksman, (Considering my success with Demonic Diamond, I'm tempted to just forget the pistol and build up my fists and try to win it that way)  :)

Eagerness, (I'm finding this one pretty tough; I guess I rely pretty heavily on med-packs!)

Inquisitor, (I had a fairly successful Survivalist build in this that I intend to try again later)

Destroyer, (In this version, at least; I achieved it once back in 0.9.9.2)

Centurial, (I have an Ao100 game running right now that might turn into this;  :)  I also achieved it in 0.9.9.3)

Everyman, (Shottyhead worked well for my Masochist Diamond, so I've tried it with this too, so far without success)

Reaper, (Ugh!  Reaper Platinum was hard enough!  I don't see myself getting this one)  :|

Scavenger, (That would need so much luck that I don't see myself trying for it any time soon)

Arena, (Not in this version; I got it in 0.9.9.2; if I did get it, it would be a good way to help achieve Scavenger)

Quote from: Hamster on October 11, 2011, 04:35
I wonder what bronze and silver badges Tormise is missing :)

I'm running a game right now, so I can't check, but if I recall correctly...

Bronze: Inquisitor and Eagerness (Angel of Purity and Impatience are my least favourite challenges, I guess)  :P

Silver:  Inquisitor, Eagerness, Marksman, and Destroyer  (I just never got around to completing Marksmanship or Max Carnage)

Nightmare! / [N!|AoH|28%|YAVP] Speedrunner Diamond Badge
« on: October 09, 2011, 22:23 »
I normally suck at speed runs...

The reason I've been able to get so many Diamond Badges in this game is that I'm very meticulous and plan every move every step of the way, constantly weighing my options and figuring out the best strategies to approach every situation.  (That, and I play enough games that sometimes I just get lucky)  ;)  Nevertheless, I decided to try some button-mashing this evening to get Speedrunner Diamond.  :)  It took about 30 tries over the course of an hour, most of which were about a minute each.

My strategy was to take advantage of the Scout's ability to see the stairs and head straight for them, and try to get berserker trait to lessen damage from enemies.  After I got to the Chained Court, I was berserk for basically the rest of the game.  I had planned to chainsaw the Cyberdemon to death, but the lucky find of a nuke allowed me to go for partial victory instead.

Oh, I agree.  Finding work should definitely be my top priority.  It's mostly out of a sense of depression and discouragement about the way things are going in my life that I'm turning to this game, since it's the only thing I seem to be good at lately.  (Now, if only I could get paid to win Diamond Badges!)  ;)

Nightmare! / [N!|AoB|63%|YAFW] Are you sick of seeing my mortems yet? :)
« on: October 09, 2011, 19:50 »
I was trying for a Blademaster run the other day and I did quite well at it, (I got up to level 24, but I didn't feel like posting it because I figure you're probably getting sick of me filling up this forum with my mortems)  :P  but then I decided to fall back on my favourite build, the Vampyre.  :D  (Actually, with all the Vampyre games I've been playing lately, it's a wonder I didn't get this sooner!)  :)

This run had a very weak beginning, as I had to use one of my starting large med-packs on level 1, but there were some luckily placed stairs on the next few levels, and I soon found myself in the Chained Court, and it took off from there.  So, let that be a lesson about not giving up just because you had a bad start.  :)

One curious thing...  I don't know if this is a bug, but it seems that I accidentally destroyed the entrance to the Mortuary!  There was an invulnerability sphere near the red staircase leading to the Mortuary.  I intended to use the Trigun's Angel Arm to nuke the level, then enter the Mortuary and nuke that too.  I was standing on the red stairs when I used the Angel Arm, and then, the red stairs were nowhere to be found!  :(  Is that supposed to happen?  I thought that stairs are supposed to be unaffected by nukes!
