-- General ---------------------------------------------------

 Before him 61 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 44 of those were killed.
 2 of those were killed by something unknown.
 3 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
 And 2 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
 Is he immortal? 10 souls claim to have killed him...
 2 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
 7 killed the bastard and survived.
 1 showed that it can outsmart hell itself.

Yeah, i had so many freaking attempts at AoMs I was ready to punch my monitor. But I got incredibly lucky this game- for starters, I hit almost no late level caverns of arachnotrons, saving me precious hp by getting caught in the open. Also note- I only faced TWO arch viles the whole game. That I'm sure is what did the trick. The hell staff was also very useful, and it saved my ass about once every other level of hell. You can see I tried to maximize my hp gains early on using badass 2 (3 seemed unneeded cause the drain seemed almost imperceptible) then maxing hp, followed by any skills that maxed out my plasma rifle skill because I knew that was gonna be my main mode of attack. I had to retreat from the Halls of Carnage because I knew I'd get ripped apart by the barons, so I just cleared everything but the innermost BFG room.

There's one thing, ONE THING, you might notice, and that's the fact that i was invulnerable entering the arena AND I had a nuke. (And no I didn't save scum this game, I don't bother posting the games I save scum.) The thing is, I've died so many times in this mode I did not even want to risk not getting a standard win by some bug in the game (i.e.  the Ao100 bug where you nuke cybie and only get partial win, if at all) and I figured I'd enjoy killing cybie WAY more then getting completely slaughtered by Carmack.

A few questions: I realize that I have NO IDEA what the % thing is for. 98%? is that 98% killed, because I clear out almost every level (halls of carnage being the 2%, I take it?) Also, I heard that the hellstaff drops your hp by 5 when you carry it.... that doesn't seem to be the case. Thoughts?

Yeah, 98% is how many you killed. Well done!
