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

 143 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 129 of those were killed.
 5 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
 And 2 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 7 souls destroyed the Mastermind...
 7 killed the bitch and survived.

--------------------------------------------------------------

I probably don't need to explain how I got the Diamond, the tactic seems to be pretty openly discussed fairly regularly.

The eighteen hour playtime is because I took the tedious AoD fight minute blocks rather than as one consecutive fight, and ended up leaving the game running overnight at one stage (unmodded knives suck).

As for the win, that was mostly lucky. I wasn't quite sure what I was going to with HR2 and Fin2 without any survivability or damage boosts, so I figured I'd go for Int2 and try to outmanoeuvre everything for the win (and pray for a nuke to take the Mastermind). However, it turned out that the second level of Int wasn't necessary, because I was able to use Int1 to spend the entire game sprinting from invuln to invuln.

First Nightmare! win, and I probably won't have another one for a while, so I'm savouring the moment.

Good thinking and some luck you got there - congratulations!

Unmodded knives against AoD are worthless, plain and simply. Without Brute, they don't do any extra damage compared to plain fists (AoD has 10 armour - a knife will never cut through that for more than 1 guaranteed damage on hit). Throwing may help in the way of safety, but that would bring even way more tedium to an already tedious fight.

Unmodded knives? I guess it's an easier start then trying to get an AoB enough kills on hell 1 to level the appropriate skills, but damn - the AoD fight took ages with a chainsaw.

You, sir, have patience.

Congratulations on the rest of the win as well.
