This was supposed to be just a Hunter Platinum cheese, but I keep overlooking the requirements for the Diamond or Angelic badge and end up achieving that too unintentionally.

I knew I had the badge on the bag when I had lots of invuln and berserk stacked, along with a Nuke, so I decided to go for the full win. Spoiler alert: a Combat Shotty, a Hi-Power Chaingun, and a Nuclear BFG are not nearly enough firepower to tickle him if you go there without any healing items!

Yes yes, I'm aware that it's the easiest Angelic of them all but still, wow.
I was trying to cheese Shottyman Platinum with AoOc, and totally missed the fact that these are the requirements for the Angelic Badge, along with the 50% kill requirement (which I wasn't paying attention to).
This all was the result of sheer dumb luck, seeing how I spawned on Hell 1 standing next to a Super Shotgun!! It's like the game itself just got sick of watching me die again and again.
Intuition 2 into Shottyman seems like a no-brainer to me; so is Fin2. After finding and applying 2 power mods to the SShotty, I decided to go for WK. Hey, a man can dream of a random Nano mod, right?

I decided to go into Mortuary, as I had a fresh Invincibility and the normal exit was at the other side of the map. I thought it would be less risky to just bolt for the exit, idk. It went fine.  I luckily found a Shell Box on the next floor to properly secure my victory.  I farmed for some XP right before Dis so I could get TaN, as I had no healing at all (other than the Blood Skull that I many times forgot I had).  Maybe Ironman would've been better? IDK, IDC.

If anything of what I said sounds idiotic to any one of you veterans, you might be right. Which makes this undeserved Angelic even more impressive to me  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This will probably be my only Angelic badge ever, so yay.

Dangit, I could've went for the Diamond too. Oh well, maybe next time.

My first mortem post. 

I just wanted to get Elite Platinum out of the way, and ended up achieving a lot more than that, mostly by accident.
I gotta say: 0.9.9.8 Vampire is broken. Very much so.

Two Phase Devices were all I needed to get into the vaults by luck. Inside I found the Grammaton Cleric Beretta, and so I decided to get the medal, too!

Discussion / Re: Quick questions thread!
« on: February 11, 2021, 20:58 »
Confidence/Overconfidence, I was thinking it should be a skill line that "takes off" quickly since there are fewer levels to gain. And not using a Pistol or Melee build (due to how those tend to have a weaker start and in the latter case I can't get the Chainsaw).

Melee build can work on AoOverconfidence. You start with Assault Shotty, Minigun, their respective ammo boxes, and a combat knife.
You level up like crazy on Hell 1, enough to at least get Berserker. After that, you can immediately go to Unholy Cathedral, and if you find at least one Red Armor, maybe one bulk or power mod, and can bring plenty of healing items, you can defeat the Angel of Death easily.
Of course you need tons of luck to get the perfect run going, but since this is AoOc, you don't lose much time if you die on Hell 1 or UC.

If you complete UC, you get the Longinus Spear, so you don't need the chainsaw anyways.

And I know that this is all possible, because just today I used AoOc to cheese getting Azrael's Spear (since getting 100% kills this way counts and is almost required anyway). This was done on HMP difficulty.

Hell, while writing this comment, I got a silly idea, one thing lead to another, and I've just completed AoB+AoOC on N!

My point is, Melee is a good choice as any other on AoOC.
________

Here's are my quick question: what's a good approach to complete Ao100/666 with a melee build?
