Post Mortem / [M|AoMr+AoLT|YAAM+FW] One-Handed Plasma Rifle of Death
« on: August 09, 2019, 05:40 »
"Pew-pew! Pew-pew! Pew-pew!", said the Doomguy's storm bolter blaster. "Blargh! Shlarp! Arrr-Arrr-Blargh!", said the dying hellspawn.
All in all, this was a fairly easy run, surprisingly enough. I got very lucky with a blaster and an onyx pack in Hell's Armory - after I found it, my previously groomed-for-stormbolter pistol became a backup weapon, and I got rid of an ammochain in favor of good plain bullets.
Just in time, too, because the Wall was awaiting me right after! To quote the famous television series protagonist, "I'd say that was one hell of a bird" (see attachments).
The City of Skulls... actually wasn't all that bad! Plasma shots quickly dealt with the early skulls, weakened by AMS, and then it was just a matter of patience to clear the rest of the level. The Agony Elemental, luckily, seemed to prefer advancing to spawning meatshields, or else I would've probably be eventually forced to run away.
The rest of the run was fairly uneventful. I found a thermonuclear bomb relatively early and carried it till the end, and a nuclear plasma rifle in Hell. That was quite a lucky break, because I wanted a full win, but skipped Mortuary.
With a good deal of luck (finding a nuclear bomb & grabbing an IB before Unholy Cathedral) it's possible to earn the Conqueror badge with these challenges as well. Maybe I'll try this someday. :3
It's my second try at this challenge - the first one abruptly ended in the Mortuary after I cleaned one half, got blasted by some cacodemons from the other and was roughed up as I desperantly ran back to catch a healing orb and stumbled upon a few who-knows-how-they-got-here demons. That's the reason I skipped it in this run, despite being really compelled to try.
I got the Firestorm pack in Hell's Armory, which, just as in this playthrough, enabled me to get through the Wall. I used up almost 3 full ammochains in doing so, phew! Kids, remember - if you're going to try and blast through the Wall as a marksman, be sure to stock up on ammo.
Abyssal Plains were a nightmare, but somehow I made it through.
As a bonus, I'll throw in the mortem from that run as well!

Post Mortem / [H|AoP+AoMC|YAAM] Scout McCheesy, the Conqueror
« on: July 10, 2018, 13:01 »
I wanted to nab yet another badge for a while, and yesterday this Sunday my choice fell on the Inquisitor Gold Badge (to remind, that's to complete AoP on any difficulty). To ease the task, I've went for dual-angeling my favorite cheesy combo of AoMC+Int2+Shotguns, on HMP. I think it's obvious why I call it "cheesy", and while it does depend somewhat on the luck (getting surrounded by monsters on level generation will almost always be the end of a poor Scout, especially so on the early levels), this time I didn't have any particularly bad patches and managed to succeed on the first try.
Notables:
This mortem is less to record an achievement and more to illustrate the tip I'd like to share: if you're struggling with getting a particular badge, consider pairing it with AoMC and play it as Scout+Int2. Not every challenge can be paired like this, of course, but some, especially the hardest ones... I got the Masochist Platinum this way, too (also Conqueror, I think).
Trying to do the same now, but on UV. Platinum, platinum~ :>
Bonus: [U|AoP+AoMC|96%|19|YASD] Scout McFailed, Unsuccessful Platinum Inquisitor
What do you think?)
Notables:
- Found enough nukes to earn the Fallout Gold Cross while holding on to the nuclear BFG to the end.
- At the very end, shot the FINAL EVIL with an overloaded high-power BFG. I hoped it would be more powerful, but oh well.
- Assembled a plasmatic double shotgun, then slapped myself in the face (figuratively). >_>
- Carried a Combat Translocator from the Armory through the entire game, but used it barely once or twice. I find it ralely comes in handy at all, but I still kept it in case of emergency.

Post Mortem / [M|ArchAoLT|YAAM] Full victory!
« on: July 02, 2018, 11:06 »
My first win at the Archangel of Light Travel challenge, and a full one for that! I know this won't impress any veterans, but I still have this tiny feeling of pride about this small personal victory. It feels great to feel myself learning, improving and gradually becoming able to successfuly tackle the more and more tougher challenges. :3
I went for the easy route of HNTR+Marine/Vampyre, and ditched the pistol and ammochain at the beginning for a shotgun and occasional shells. Things were going relatively normal until the level 9, where I got very lucky at the Hell's Armory - by the virtue of having some Invulnerability left while entering, careful use of cornershooting and being missed by Shambler's lightning bolts at least 3 times, I managed to avoid all damage completely, thus scoring an extra rare modpack. The armory yielded the onyx and nano modpacks (IMHO, the best combination ever!), as well as a nuclear plasma rifle, which replaced the shotgun entirely and freed up a slot for a spare medkit. I don't think I could have won, if not for this.
For the Onyx pack, choosing how to use it was easy - while I usually always use them on armor if any are found, I've chosen to assemble the Lava boots (since I couldn't go for cerberus boots nor have an emergency envirosuit stored up) and did not regret it one bit. The Nano-pack, though, was sitting in one of the two inventory slots for a few levels (I just couldn't get myself to use this treasure, not while that small Tech in the corner of my mind kept trying to persuade me to go for Wizkid and get something truly awesome), until I've found a shiny suit of red armor in a tought spot and finally made my mind. It served very well on its own, until Halls of Carnage provided me with the Power mod to complete the Power Armor assembly. And from there, things rolled pretty much easily. With the lava boots, Lava Pits were a piece of cake, and the lava element replaced the phase device. And after just one more level of Hell, the battle-hardened, berserking marine had finally come to the damned city of Dis. Had to bid goodbye to his trusty rifle, he descended into the newly-created opening and faced the TRUE EVIL with just the armour suit and boots, a spare medkit and a blood-stained chainsaw, and achieved an unexpectedly easy victory. :3
Some random thoughts:
I usually can't resist the urge to complete all possible optional levels (and yes, this did lead to a LOT of silly YASDs), but I might be finally getting over it. I've even skipped the Vaults and Limbo, my favourite tackling levels, despite the feeling that I was prepared enough to survive those - Vault, because I had just one Phase device and didn't want to risk ruining the perfect killcount, and Limbo, because 1) the population of the central island might have forced me to use the only medkit I had, 2) trying to off the monsters off-screen with the plasma rifle would have taken a lot of time, and 3) trying to off them up close and personally was a bit of a dangerous perspective. Eventually, I decided that the loot and the fact of achievement were not worth the risk and/or time, but I didn't stop doubting if it was the right choice. What do you think?
I went for the easy route of HNTR+Marine/Vampyre, and ditched the pistol and ammochain at the beginning for a shotgun and occasional shells. Things were going relatively normal until the level 9, where I got very lucky at the Hell's Armory - by the virtue of having some Invulnerability left while entering, careful use of cornershooting and being missed by Shambler's lightning bolts at least 3 times, I managed to avoid all damage completely, thus scoring an extra rare modpack. The armory yielded the onyx and nano modpacks (IMHO, the best combination ever!), as well as a nuclear plasma rifle, which replaced the shotgun entirely and freed up a slot for a spare medkit. I don't think I could have won, if not for this.
For the Onyx pack, choosing how to use it was easy - while I usually always use them on armor if any are found, I've chosen to assemble the Lava boots (since I couldn't go for cerberus boots nor have an emergency envirosuit stored up) and did not regret it one bit. The Nano-pack, though, was sitting in one of the two inventory slots for a few levels (I just couldn't get myself to use this treasure, not while that small Tech in the corner of my mind kept trying to persuade me to go for Wizkid and get something truly awesome), until I've found a shiny suit of red armor in a tought spot and finally made my mind. It served very well on its own, until Halls of Carnage provided me with the Power mod to complete the Power Armor assembly. And from there, things rolled pretty much easily. With the lava boots, Lava Pits were a piece of cake, and the lava element replaced the phase device. And after just one more level of Hell, the battle-hardened, berserking marine had finally come to the damned city of Dis. Had to bid goodbye to his trusty rifle, he descended into the newly-created opening and faced the TRUE EVIL with just the armour suit and boots, a spare medkit and a blood-stained chainsaw, and achieved an unexpectedly easy victory. :3
