Nightmare! / Re: [N!|AoB|45%|6|YAD] Arena diamond.
« on: August 27, 2012, 06:37 »
I've not even attempted this, even when I found the butcher's cleaver a couple of times before the arena on berserker runs (since I didn't want to almost certainly die in the arena when I had a nice unique that would help me get berserker diamond, and I think at least one of those times I was pretty low on armour and medkits).
Even when I've got a shotgun and chaingun, the running-around-killing-things strategy just ends up with me being mobbed from all sides by resurrecting monsters on N!, so I thought Arena diamond would need lots of hiding, waiting and precision corpse-stacking.

Nightmare! / Re: [N!|AoOC|98%|7|YASD] Didn't notice the lava

I used one on my berserker diamond run with vampyre to good effect, but I rarely use melee builds, and I mostly play as scavenger, so it's doubly annoying since I can't disassemble it like I can with unique ranged weapons. So far I've found it 10 times, and I haven't found a single hell staff or BFG 10K. Most other uniques I've found 3-4 times each.

Nightmare! / [N!|AoOC|100%|YAVP] Daredevil diamond YAAM
« on: August 26, 2012, 14:54 »
I found a sniper pack on the first level and turned my assault shotgun into a plasmatic assault shotgun on level 2 once I found a power mod, and I then used it for gibbing corpses after I'd killed things with my minigun or plasma rifle. I had a close call on level 3 when the RNG dumped me beside a large pack of barons and arch-villes in an arena map (so bugger all cover), but I was berserking from a couple of berk packs I'd taken on my way out of the last level, so I didn't take much damage and was able to outrun them and give them a sprinkling of plasmatic shrapnel from a distance (with the aid of the shell box I started with) until they got tired of chasing me and lay down. I got a super shotgun just before Dis, but I only got to fire it twice and didn't get to see it slaughtering packs of monsters.

Discussion / Modding uniques
« on: August 26, 2012, 07:11 »
What are the rules for modding uniques? I just tried to power mod Malek's armour with my whizkid 2 technician, but it didn't work. I thought you could apply a single mod or a basic assembly to uniques if you were a technician with both levels of whizkid. I know that I've powermodded an acid spitter in the past with a whiz 2 technician (after it wouldn't let me put a firestorm pack on it, since spitting acid isn't the same as being an explosive weapon, apparently).

Nightmare! / [N!|AoOC|98%|7|YASD] Didn't notice the lava
« on: August 25, 2012, 19:31 »
So, things were going great; I found a plasma shotgun on the first level and was using it to gib corpses after I killed them with the plasma rifle or minigun, and it was more like playing U than N! since the plasma shotgun pretty much put a stop to all resurrection. I was breezing through level 7, looking forward to a daredevil diamond YAAM, when a mancubus blasted me from the side, taking my health from 100% to 50% and knocking me back to what I thought was the edge of a lava pool. I immediately used a medpack and proceeded to unload my minigun into the mancubus, killing it, but I failed to notice that I was standing on a lava tile until I'd sadly expired.
Also, what is it with all the butcher's cleavers I keep getting? The game loves to give them to me, but I rarely have a use for them.

0.9.9.6 / [U|AoRA|100%|YAVP] Quartermaster diamond
« on: August 25, 2012, 08:16 »
I got lucky in this run; I had a shotgun scout build, and the duelist armour turned up on level 7, giving me a +15% move speed bonus except for the times when it was too damaged to risk wearing, then the jackhammer appeared in Hell's armoury and my favourite shotgun, the plasma shotgun, was on the next level. Plasma shotguns are great for arch-vile packs since they gib any corpses on the ground, and being able to destroy walls without explosives is a nice bonus too. Also, they fire 10 shots without needing to be pumped or reloaded, so they're like an assault shotgun on steroids. A major bonus to having the plasma shotgun was simply being able to use cells when I was running low on shells, and I used my BFG 9000s as rechargeable batteries to feed the plasma shotgun.
I didn't try the lava pits since I wasn't confident that I could clear it in time, and didn't want to risk snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Hell's armoury was a close call; I didn't have time to loot the lab cache once it opened, and I only made it out with 2 seconds to spare. The cacodemons on Hell's armoury have a tendency to wander off and it takes precious time to hunt them down.
Some more agility packs would have been nice; I only got 2, but I didn't really need more than that.

Nightmare! / Re: [N!|93%|YAVP] Elite diamond
« on: August 24, 2012, 18:15 »
I cleared the wall without taking any damage on that run, since I had a plasma rifle with plenty of cells (and EE/Son of a bitch/intuition) and could corner-shoot the barons and arch-villes one at a time before they reached me, while disposing of corpses with the rocket launcher. I farmed a former commando for cells on the level just before the wall so that I'd have plenty; I think I had 40 rockets and 400 cells for it, plus 200 bullets and maybe a shell box.
For the anomaly, I prepared my escape route by destroying the door on the far end of the hallway with my plasma rifle and then rocket jumped my way past the ambush and right past the bruiser brothers. Once I had the cover of the bruiser brother's guard post thingies, I took them out with my plasma rifle and then slowly started luring the nightmare beasties one by one to where I could kill them from cover, which was a bit difficult since I was running low on ammo by that point and I had to rely on rockets, which I just about had enough of to finish the job by using them carefully. Another way I can clear the anomaly on N! is by using a double-barrelled shotgun and a shell box, running to the door and hosing everything with shotgun shells from a position of moderate cover while healing up with medkits as necessary.

Does it break the 'no melee' conduct for the lightfoot diamond if you use fists? I accidentally hit a former with my fists when it resurrected right in the square I was trying to move into.

« on: August 24, 2012, 15:39 »
I'd keep skipping it; the hell's arena -> CC -> wall & middle vault progression is nice if you can manage it, but none of it is terribly important to completing the game on N! and mostly just gives you more opportunities to get killed. There isn't enough ammo to make regular use of the rocket launcher early on, since you need to conserve it for the arena master and the wall, and the missile launcher, backpack and middle vault are nice (although the middle vault often gives me bugger all), but you'll be fine without them.

Nightmare! / Re: [N!|93%|YAVP] Elite diamond
« on: August 23, 2012, 13:05 »
Very much harder? I can breeze through Hell's Arena without thinking about it much on UV, and with a scout and hellrunner 2, I can clear the arena, grab the loot and go down the stairs before the nuke blows on UV AoRA without too much trouble. On N! I need a much more concrete strategy than 'corner shoot them all until they die', and I need to have more medkits for when corpse stacking doesn't go smoothly and I need to take a plasma ball to the face, despite the medkits healing double on N!. I also need more shotgun shells since I'll be killing and re-killing and re-re-killing. It's easier when the stairs to the arena appear on level 3 rather than level 2, and it's easier with shotgun scout builds where I have reloader 2 and +10% move speed, but I can do it fairly reliably now when the stairs appear on level 2 and I have a technician with son of a bitch 2 or something else that doesn't start shining until later in the game.
I use strategies like annoying demons and cacodemons with the shotgun at maximum range to draw them into a central location where I have a killing field, and when I leave my killing field to hunt for monsters, I keep an eye on the corpses; even when they're out of sight, the game still shows the corpses vanish when monsters resurrect, and when I see that happen, I know I have to go back and re-kill them before they wander too far off. I try to pick a reasonably defensible location for the killing field, usually near to the upper or lower outer wall in the middle region of the arena, but often I get chased off by demons/cacodemons coming in from two sides or corpses resurrecting on one side of me while I'm dealing with monsters on the other side of me and I have to start a new killing field elsewhere. When everything goes to plan, the corpses in the killing field will resurrect at a slow, manageable rate and I can gradually stack them on top of each other to dispose of them so that there's just a demon corpse or two left once the barons arrive, which I can sometimes stack on top of the barons as I kill them. On UV I can just run around and kill everything without worrying about any of the above.
The rocket launcher is an essential piece of kit when I'm doing the chained court on N!; sometimes I can knock the barons into the lava with my shotgun or kill them in a doorway, but usually I need the rocket launcher to dispose of at least some of their corpses. The rocket launcher also makes killing the arena master fairly doable; just hit him with a rocket every time he enters your field of vision and the knockback on him will give you time to reload and move a step or two, or even swap weapons and take out a former if you have juggler. If you miss and he raises his arms, put some space between the two of you and try to avoid the blast; the move speed bonus from the berserk packs help with that, and the 60% fire resist makes it less painful if you do get caught. I dispose of most of the formers in doorways before I face the arena master, so I don't get too many of them resurrecting while I'm fighting the arena master. It doesn't always go to plan if the arena master makes an early appearance or my berserk packs get destroyed by the barons, but such is life.
I use strategies like annoying demons and cacodemons with the shotgun at maximum range to draw them into a central location where I have a killing field, and when I leave my killing field to hunt for monsters, I keep an eye on the corpses; even when they're out of sight, the game still shows the corpses vanish when monsters resurrect, and when I see that happen, I know I have to go back and re-kill them before they wander too far off. I try to pick a reasonably defensible location for the killing field, usually near to the upper or lower outer wall in the middle region of the arena, but often I get chased off by demons/cacodemons coming in from two sides or corpses resurrecting on one side of me while I'm dealing with monsters on the other side of me and I have to start a new killing field elsewhere. When everything goes to plan, the corpses in the killing field will resurrect at a slow, manageable rate and I can gradually stack them on top of each other to dispose of them so that there's just a demon corpse or two left once the barons arrive, which I can sometimes stack on top of the barons as I kill them. On UV I can just run around and kill everything without worrying about any of the above.
The rocket launcher is an essential piece of kit when I'm doing the chained court on N!; sometimes I can knock the barons into the lava with my shotgun or kill them in a doorway, but usually I need the rocket launcher to dispose of at least some of their corpses. The rocket launcher also makes killing the arena master fairly doable; just hit him with a rocket every time he enters your field of vision and the knockback on him will give you time to reload and move a step or two, or even swap weapons and take out a former if you have juggler. If you miss and he raises his arms, put some space between the two of you and try to avoid the blast; the move speed bonus from the berserk packs help with that, and the 60% fire resist makes it less painful if you do get caught. I dispose of most of the formers in doorways before I face the arena master, so I don't get too many of them resurrecting while I'm fighting the arena master. It doesn't always go to plan if the arena master makes an early appearance or my berserk packs get destroyed by the barons, but such is life.

Nightmare! / Re: [N!|93%|YAVP] Elite diamond
« on: August 23, 2012, 09:19 »I'm guessing that since you can't save on N!, he probably left DoomRL to do something else for some time. Since Ao100 can be done on N! in 3 hours, it's the most likely explanation.
I think I left it running over night, but since I was going for YAAM, I did spend quite a lot of time methodically hunting down monsters and disposing of their corpses by ambushing them in doorways or blowing them up with barrels, rockets, nuclear BFG 9000 and sometimes by standing in the middle of a pile of corpses and letting a cacodemon or imp hit me with a plasma/fire-ball.
I use that last method in combination with corpse stacking to make it through hell's arena on N!; sometimes I can't get the corpses to stack neatly, so I just stand amongst them and let a cacodemon take care of them for me. Taking a plasma ball is often better than risking a bunch of corpses resurrecting at the wrong moment and getting mobbed from multiple directions, and I'll even take a blast from a hell baron if it means disposing of the other baron's corpse, as long as I have health and medkits to spare.

0.9.9.6 / [U|AoRA|Hell 3|100%|YASD] Ran short on ammo, got arch-viled
« on: August 23, 2012, 04:02 »
This was a failed quartermaster diamond attempt. It was going really well up until Deimos 7 when I got down to about 20 shotgun shells on my shottyman scout. Fortunately I'd taken a trip through the halls of carnage for the BFG 9000, and that plus my rocket launcher was enough to finish off the cyberdemon, but Hell 1 and 2 were lousy for ammo and I got incinerated by an arch-vile on hell 3 while scrounging around for ammo, and probably also because I was getting tired and a bit careless. I found a duelist armour early on in Phobos, which helped a lot with it's +15% move speed, and I slapped a power mod on it. The duelist +15%, scout +10% and hellrunner 2 +30% speed meant that I could run rings around most things, though it was still a challenge to clear each map and make it to the exit in time. I used invulnerability globes to survive the explosions a couple of times, but the only time it was really useful was in an arachnotron cave in hell 1 where I didn't have the ammo to take out the arachnotrons; I just hunkered down in a sheltered spot next to the invulnerability globe and killed a couple of arachnotrons while I waited for the bomb's timer to count down.

Nightmare! / [N!|93%|YAVP] Elite diamond
« on: August 22, 2012, 14:41 »
I was going for YAAM, but I couldn't kill the angel of death and I stopped being so fastidious about corpse disposal after that. Also, I tried to clear the mortuary but got my arse handed to me and had to flee (first time trying it on N!), so that took a chunk out of my kill percentage. I thought about going through the lava pits for explorer, but I didn't have any envirosuits and didn't fancy my chances, and it could have lost me the elite diamond by bringing my kill percentage down further. I used the run-wait function a lot, for ambushing imps and formers up until the chained court, and for farming commandos for cells later on, but I find the game gets much more forgiving after the chained court, so I rely less on cheese after that point when playing N!.
I went scavenger since I find it the most interesting and rewarding master trait; you never know when you'll get that exotic mod you always wanted when you disassemble something. I got a nanopack when I dissasembled the acid spitter I found in level 12, and used it for my A-modded antigrav boots (+60% move speed). I got another +15% move speed from some duelist armour, though I never got an agility mod to slap on it (I'd already used 3 agility mods on some A-modded tactical boots earlier on). I had a cerberus ballistic vest that I was hoping to get an onyx mod for, but it got destroyed in the mortuary and I never got an onyx mod.
I missed out on the mastermind's brain when my biggest fucking gun knocked it back into range of me and I got a burst of bullets from it. I also missed out on finishing it off with my Grammaton Cleric Baretta since I didn't have any ammo for it.

Nightmare! / Re: [N!|AoB|97%|YAVP] Berserker diamond
« on: August 16, 2012, 08:47 »
I had another vampire run where I was doing fine with just the chainsaw until Demos lvl 3, when I got caught out by an armed nuke; I went too far from the stairs in search of goodies and didn't make it back in time. I got uniques early on in a couple of other vampire runs; Malek's armour on level 2 for one run and the butcher's cleaver on level 3 on another one, but I died on level 4-5 despite the uniques. The cleaver was nice, but if I make it past about level 5, I'm usually ok with just standard equipment; it's the early levels that usually get me.

There weren't any nukes, I couldn't clear out the spiders' lair to get the nuclear plasma rifle and the nuclear BFG 9000 got obliterated by mancubi and barons in the mortuary, so I had to settle for a standard win. I could have activated the lava element and gotten the mastermind's brain, but I was getting tired by that point and forgot about it. I had a single phase device for the vaults, but it fizzled.
I had a bunch of enviropacks for the lava pits, but I found that I could keep my health at 200% by farming lost souls from the pain elementals and using them as unlimited mini-berserk packs. Every time I took damage from lava or revenants, I'd cut up some lost souls with the butcher's cleaver and heal up with my MVr while extending my berserk counter. I could kill 2-5 lost souls in a single turn thanks to the blademaster trait from the butcher's cleaver. When I was farming lost souls for heath, I'd unequip my armour to save it from getting messed up. I'd planned to use the ballistic shield in the UC, but I found an invulnerability globe on the previous level and was invulnerable for the whole time it took to kill everything in UC.
I took juggler so that I could switch between the Longinus spear and the butcher's cleaver depending on what I was attacking (spear for tough monsters, cleaver for weak ones or for finishing off injured tough ones). I also found that finesse worked pretty well in melee; it meant I could often get 2 hits in before a monster retaliated, and 2 hits were usually enough to kill things by that point in the game.
