I've been struggling a lot with this challenge... I honestly thought this would be the one!

I got a JS Revolver tricked out with mods, 1-2 shooting most enemies and Sustaining on kills.

But then I made it to Shadow Halls and the big guys (reavers of some kind I think) were banging me up hard, ran out of healing items and ended up getting finished off in Dark Cathedral...

This makes me way more miserable than it probably should.

I thought for AoLT I should use a melee build, I used Vampyre back in DoomRL due to the combo of not needing ammo and another healing source, but I was pointed to Blademaster here due to the nice defensive bonuses. Worked out better, I think!

Was tricky deciding which guns to have before melee got going, I'll admit.

Stressed a bit about mods since they were kind of important but I found what I picked worked well.

Sometimes it seemed a bit strange when I seemed to get or not get my defensive bonuses but generally I was blazing through things once I had a pair of katanas!

I somehow got two special levels on Europa. I wanted to go to CRI Amory for all the loot... But there was only one Red Keycard. >:( Will note not to go there again unless I use a stash already.

First time visiting Shattered Abyss and I one-shot the Swordmaster! The Demonic Sword might not be compatible with dual-wielding but Frenzy and a higher Vampiric rating gave it niche uses... Still mostly stuck with my katanas though.

I finally got 100% kills, I thought I might've gotten screwed over by a minor enemy still being alive when I finished the Summoner but it seems not!

I actually started out wanting to do Angel of Marksmanship (since I was trying to make Buletstorm work) but it wasn't unlocked so I went for Angel of Carnage.

I went for Army of Darkness since I don't really know of a better Master for Rocket Launcher builds.

My big focuses were dropping mods on everything (particularly Autoloader, Second Chamber, critical-related stuff and Durable) but I was convinced to work Hellrunner in too, though I tried not to delay MAD levels or crucial mods.

For Callisto, I figured it had to be Mines or Rift since other branches' rewards weren't relevant. This time it was Mines.

For Europa, I wanted Conamara Chaos Biolabs (for ENV gear to use Toxic with impunity) but I had to settle with Dig Zone for Tyre Outpost and its nifty gear.

For Io, I stuck with the main branch and Frozen Lock since I wanted the rare mod... I didn't get the rare mod, I won't be going there again. >:(

Beyond I went to Limbo of course.

Some close calls but it was relatively easy overall!

I was actually kind of struggling to get into the game a little bit, starting and struggling on Medium, I switched down to Easy and checked out a bunch of guides and it made me feel better about the whole thing.

I feel pretty good about my trait choice but I feel like I was playing dumb with my tactics and being clumsy, also had an overflowing inventory much of the time. I can definitely get better. Army of Darkness is great though, which is funny since I'm not fond of its DoomRL equivalent.

Century Lounge / [M|ArchAo666|29%|YAVP] Pop goes the Apostle!
« on: January 24, 2021, 00:41 »
For some backstory, I've actually had some thoughts now of taking a break from this game, now I've bought Jupiter Hell and I'm likely to switch to that for at least a bit I figure.

...But this is something I really wanted to do: Try Archangel of 666, finally use the Dragonslayer + Berserker Armor, hit max level and take out the Apostle. So I thought I'd cross that off my list before switching to Jupiter Hell.

Build choice seemed obvious: I gotta be a Scout for easy stairdiving and I gotta have a melee Master since I'll be stuck with the Dragonslayer so Blademaster it is! Hellrunner came first since I wouldn't be going straight into melee (though I did get into Chainswording people earlier than might be strictly justifiable and it seemed to work out). After the Master, Finesse into Whizkid, Dodgemaster and Juggler seemed obvious. Of course after a while, I started picking up whatever seemed helpful since I was running out of things to pick. My very last level I grabbed Eagle Eye over Reloader since the former could be possibly helpful maybe, while the latter would be 100% pointless. I mean, Juggler obviously stopped being useful after I got stuck with the Dragonslayer but I can't say I was dearly missing an extra level of Eagle Eye.

I re-assembled the Chainsword after Whizkid so I could P-mod it, I think I had a fliud-related mishap that destroyed my first Tactical Boots so I had to rebuild them anyway... And ended up throwing away the A-modded pair because Nyarlaptotep's Boots were even better, it seemed. For a while I was lugging around an Onyx Mod, if I didn't find the Berserker Armor somehow then I was going to see if I could do the Cybernano assembly to add it to my list. Of course, that didn't end up happening.

I almost got screwed out of picking up the Dragonslayer
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

For a while I was stressed, first that I might have accidentally selected Angel of 100 instead due to the character screen and fake-out level messages... Then I was worried that I might have missed the Berserker Armor thanks to the annoying Berserk screen filter making it hard to see what anything is. Thankfully that didn't turn out to be the case and I was able to snag it! It kind of disappointed me at first because I thought it was protecting less than my Cerberus Gothic, but I don't think the math holds up on that and not needing to worry about armor durability anymore was awesome! I will say I initially misunderstood the formula and the Protection worked the exact opposite way I thought it would.

When I got the respective gear I dumped out weapons and then armor, eventually Mods too. Then I stockpiled Large Medkits to be safe, plus Phase Devices to aid with stairdiving and nukes in case I got Invulnerability so I could just clear out a level and go straight to the end (weirdly when I did that to Level 616 the nuke went off immediately without a timer. O.o Thankfully I was already invincible when it did. I wonder if there was some deliberate thing happening there since that's the fake "number of the beast".)

As far as tactics, I mostly started stairdiving after getting all my gear but for a while I would seek out enemies just to make doubly sure I got to Level 25, and even to the end I often sought out healing items I saw just to make sure I was good on health. I kept picking up Uniques though, mostly just to pad my item list, though the Hell Staff was genuinely handy as a free extra phase in case I didn't like where I started. I also think I ran into two Hellwave Packs (used the first off the ground, then came across another that I picked up) but I'm pretty sure I misunderstood something unless I ran into an odd bug there.

Nightmare Arachnotrons swarming around me were the closest I came to actually dying, but my stores of medkits helped me anyway. A common annoyance later on were those multi-line messages I had to Enter-mash through to keep moving.

When I got to Level 666 there was some kind of flash or explosion or something that killed the enemy I saw and blue-texted but I looked anyway and found the Apostle! ...And got an error message (preserved in my Mortem).

But it still registered, getting me the Medals, Arch-Vile rank and a hilariously inflated score topping my scoreboard.

For as long and tedious as it was over multiple sessions, I still enjoy the accomplishment of having done this quite a bit, and I can't rule out ever doing it again either. It's just kind of neat to be so overpowered and carefree in this game, as a contrast to how I usually feel on it.

This wasn't my first attempt, but I hadn't actually tried it many times before.

I picked a Vampyre build since it seems like the perfect for this challenge (No need for ammo + another source of healing!), though my post Master trait picks were different (on AoB I'd get Finesse into Whizkid but with the limited inventory I just stocked up on more durability).

I had some close calls but I wasn't afraid to back out of things.

Things of note:
• I abused the ammo items early on (Shell Box + Shotgun, then Chaingun + Ammo Chain) until I got going with melee... Then held onto the Chaingun and an ammo chain for a while after just in case.
• I didn't get enough Agility mods to make tactical boots, but I was drowning in Technical so I eventually say "screw it!" and build some Grappling Boots to deal with knockback.
• Hell Level 6 generated a Staff-looking Unique but I had to pass it up since it was in a really bad spot. :(
• My Angelic Armor was in bad shape by the end but I had an Invulnerability Globe near the end so I used that to nuke the Spider Mastermind with the Nuclear BFG and popped the Lava Element against JC, who went down really quick!

After being away for ages, I came back to DoomRL. Angel of Shotgunnery gave me way more trouble than such an easy challenge should.

I almost always went for Shottyhead (Fireangel is obviously useless for the challenge and Army of the Dead doesn't sit right with me with how it clashes with the Assemblies, I can expound if people really want to hear). I chickened out of many of the special levels but I took my chances with Deimos Lab in case I found something useful such as Assault Shotgun + Sniper Mod. No luck on either of those... But I got a Nano Mod! Because of that, I made a mental to make my next levels after Shottyhead Finesse and both Whizkids in case I found a Super Shotgun... In the last few levels I got exactly that! And I'd found a nuke so I was on track for a full win!

With Nano Super Shotgun in hand I could discard my Tactical Shotgun and shells to make room and go nuts with medkits and armor and such. I could skip the Mortuary because of my nuke but went into the Lava Pits. I didn't have an environmental suit and didn't have luck with the Phase Devices so I had to just bounce. :( ...But then the last level before Dis had an Invulnerability Globe near the exit! :)

Maybe it's a small thing but this made me really quite happy.

So I'd been doing a bunch of Angel of 100 runs as a Scavenger, primarily for the sake of building all Assemblies, every time I washed out and mostly pretty early.

Here I got in DEEP, from having managed to buid a load of awesome stuff, then nearaly halfway through I rocket-jumped with my projectile hitting a barrel and the explosions annihliated me...

I could probably pull it off again, but this feels so bad that I really want to do something else isntead.

After getting so close to winning AoB as a Vampyre Marine a few times and then trying some more as a Blademaster Scout (never getting that far), i gave the former another shot.

I was lucky with getting a Nano AND Onyx mod! I don't know if Powered Red Armor and Lava Boots were the best of use them strictly speaking but both of those served me VERY well this run, actually. Between the Power Armor and the Nanofiber Red I put together earlier, I didn't have to worry about Armor, throwing out a whole boatload of Blues and Greens, I did hang onto the Lava Armor I found as a backup though. Meanwhile, the Lava Boots saved me a lot of hassle in later levels without needing to worry about envirosuits.

I was practically choking on Bulk and Agility mods that I didn't need, I wasted some of the latter trying to make a second set of Tactical Boots and this time A-mod them, but then realised I only had Whizkid 1. At least that didn't cost me anything.

Conversely I was starved for Power mods, it took me WAY longer than it should have to put together my Ripper...

Funnily enough, I discovered that the Longinus Spear + Angelic Armor set seemed to "count" with the former in the prepared slot instead, which is interesting (and helpful!). The AA seemed weirdly fragile in terms of durability though.

I found an Invulnerability Globe close enough to Dis to not need my Lava Element there, so I got to use it on JC! If I held onto the extra nuke I stumbled onto I could've nuked him too but he went down easily anyway.

I definitely got very lucky but in general it seemed pretty simple once I got going even though it was tough at the start, which I guess is how melee builds tend to go. Very happy in any case!

EDIT: Fixed the title.

It was the furthest I had gotten in Angel of Berserk (going Vampyre build as you can see), the first time I beat the Unholy Cathedral (maybe even the first time I visited it), I was on track for a Full Win... Then I forgot to chug one of my numerous med-kits at one point in a tangle against Mancubi...

It felt absolutely horrible, to come so close and then totally screw it up. :(

I tried this SEVERAL times but finally pulled it off! I decided that Malicious Blades was the way to go, with the lack of late-game ammo worries, and no guarantees of a Chainsaw.

As you would probably expect, it was mostly an issue of getting off the ground. At the beginning I was mostly relying on Shotguns (prioritising the more general prerequisite skills first) and doing that without Shottyman was rough. I started mixing in melee when I had a Chainsword and Brute to help with it.

Once I got Malicious Blades and a pair of Chainswords, it didn't take me long to throw out my ranged weapons and stick to charging at people. Once I had my Cerberus Duelist Armor, I felt pretty close to unstoppable a lot of the time, at least it was quite smooth sailing for the most part.

Lava was really annoying until I got my Cerberus Boots, then not a worry afterwards.

A while after Whizkid 2, I realised after a shameful delay that I should work on replacing my Chainswords with new ones I could slap P-mods on. Shortly after the second one, I found the Butcher's Cleaver and paired that with one of the P-Chainswords, throwing out the extra. This was my final weapon setup, since I didn't find the Dragonslayer or anything like that.

From there, I had modded up more sets of Cerberus Armor as backup, I threw out some Armor I probably shouldn't have (particularly the Nanofiber Red as an infinite-durability backup) and my bloated stockpile of basic mods (no regrets there) to try and make room for more med-packs and other emergency things and necessities.

I wasn't too sure about traits after Whizkid 2, so ended up with extra Ironman/Finesse/Brute because that seemed just generally helpful. Juggler was tempting at the start when I actually did have need to swap weapons, but it didn't have any room to sheen when I finally got pushed to take it.

Only rare mods I found were Sniper mods, disappointing since I wanted Onyx or Nano for Armor...

In any case, I was almost surprised by how simple things seemed to get once I got my Mastery and solid gear, with only a few close calls.

Discussion / Just beat HTNR, got screwed out of my Mortem
« on: March 22, 2020, 11:31 »
I'd won (even fully) on ITYTD several times, but had been bashing my head against HNTR numerous times never winning. Mostly aimed for Ammochain but then tried Fireangel and Cateye sometimes.

This time I decided to try Entrenchment and it worked out great! Seemed to suit my lack of understanding of cover and dodging, lol.

I was lucky enough to find a Nano mod and build myself a Nanomachic Laser Rifle + P, and things went VERY smoothly from there! Found a Sniper mod towards the end but didn't find much use for it.

I had made and hoarded too much Armor over the course of the game and had more Technical mods than I really wanted.

After my Mastery, I of course snagged both levels of Whizkid than a second level of Badass since I had the first already, finished off with Triggerhappy 2.

I cleared out the Mortuary and snagged the guaranteed Nuclear BFG and Angelic Armor.

I nuked the Mastermind and pounded John Carmack with ease! I believe I had 727/728 kills.

...But it didn't save my Mortem. Not in the folder, nor the mortem.txt file. Both dated 2016.

I really wanted to share it, as unimpressive to Veterans as it might be, but nope... So I guess we'll have to make do with this combined bug-whine and story.

I'm still happy to beat it, and now I want to move onto the Angel Challenges!

Bug Reports / Save file won't erase?
« on: December 04, 2016, 15:53 »
Hey, been playing this game for a while but now I seem to have a bug where I have a save at Deimos Level 6 on I'm Too Young To Die. I played it through to a partial win and it's still there. Now I loaded it and quit with Q a few times but that didn't wipe it either. I also got a rather strange weapon drop, but I dunno if that's relevant.

I'm using Windows 10, I'm playing the latest version and I copied over from my previous computer, not sure what other details are needed.
