Title: [N!|AoLT|95%|YaFW] Untouchable Cross, Dragonslayer, Apostle Insignia
Post by: 2DeviationsOut on April 09, 2012, 09:03
So, I've gotten it down enough that I can get the guaranteed Dragonslayer fairly regularly. This is one of those such games.

As far as the Apostle goes, you can see plainly that it replaces JC. I won't spill the details on how you make it happen though. Functionally, it is a up-HPed, teleporting, up-damaged, Arch Vile with a bigger radius that can fire from outside of your line of sight. I'm very happy about my DPS during this game though, I managed to get it up to 386.4 pre-blademaster. The calculation was 100/31 * ((45 + 15) * 2).

And you can confirm that an Ultra Ending can be done with no luck-based things involved :>

Far from wanting to criticize your play (since I'm the one who boasts about scoring a YAAM on Too Young To Die), but what's the use of investing in INT at the end of the game? You just ran out of options, or didn't care anymore?

Would you care to post a screenshot of the top of your highscore list? These ridiculous games must give quite a score - and I'm a little curious to see what it looks like :)

24.46 kills per minute, or 2.45 seconds per kill.
Untouchable cross.
On Nightmare!
While doing everything past Unholy Cathedral with only melee.

And you can do this regularly.

There is no sign of visiting the Wall in the 'History'. That's strange.

You managed to clear the Mortuary without taking damage... with a melee weapon.

Even if it is the DS, that's pretty incredible.

And all in less than an hour...

Wha...?

This does not compute...

What is strange in that? He did not visit it, simply.

I doubt he did, why would you do need to clear it without taking damage? You can get some damage there and still get Berserker Armor.

He fled there from the monstrous lava elemental.
I wonder about this - hasn't the game registered its death? Or maybe some of the monsters respawned?

I'm very happy about my DPS during this game though, I managed to get it up to 386.4 pre-blademaster. The calculation was 100/31 * ((45 + 15) * 2).
Personally, I do not understand much from this calculation =( .

The problem is, the mortem states 11 special levels visited, while The Wall wasn't visited.

Oh, sorry. I read "Levels completed" as "Levels visited". My fault.

Strange then :] .

See Angelic Badge.
Personally, I do not understand much from this calculation =( .
100/31 = number of hits per second
45= average damage of DS, 15 = Bru5.
x2 = Berserk.
Except it's still wrong, because Bru5 was gained AFTER MBm.

The "Angelic Badge" is the award for clearing the Mortuary without taking damage.

The damage calculation was (attack rate) * ((9d9 average + Bru5) * 2 (zerk))

For the Angelic Badge, I actually rushed through it fast enough to kill the Viles, which spawned close, and very very few enemies resurrected. Also, using a couple of Fire Skulls doesn't hurt.

I did skip the Wall, but I missed the completion on the Lava Pits because when you are wielding the DS/BA, random nightmare demons will spawn on the level. It's really frustrating. I managed to do the Unholy Cathedral damageless due to the fact that I had carefully calculated out my exact movespeed/firespeed and I could wait until the AoD moved next to me, and then attack and move away without it being able to counterattack.

I still haven't figured out which levels I have to do damageless in order to get the Ultra Ending, so I play these completely damageless up until the UC, and then for however long I can keep it going.

Well, we know now that you do not need The Wall for that ;] .
