So this was my first game in 0.9.9.2, and I was apparently either really lucky, or ITYTD had some adjustments.  I found both miniguns on the same floor, couldn't for the life of me find the Mortuary stairs (which ruined Conquerer and explorer D:)

But yeah, two miniguns, a shockwave pack, nuclear plasma rifle, onyx armor, some item called lava element (New to me, never got to use it), Arena Master's Staff, and I still managed to finish the game by being ultra-overprepared.  ITYTD really is easy mode. v.v

And, just like when I used to play, I still don't know how not to kill every damn thing I see.  I need to play more AoPc, or I'll never be able to win an AoB. x.x

Any advice on which bonus areas you all now think are worth the cost?  Unless the mortuary got a nerf/rewards got a buff, it's still probably not worth it.  Spider's Lair is doable, and the plasma is always nice.  What about the new Chained Court and Lava Pits?  Have the Vaults been changed?
Oh well, back to AoPc speedruns!

On the plus side, I think you can get some nice rewards, or at least medals, if you kill everything in AoB.

Usually I clear all special areas unless I think I can't - even if I don't get a 'reward', I still get experience.


Also, the mortuary isn't available on ITYTD (nor was it in 0.991).  You probably missed either the Wall or the Vaults, maybe Hell's Armory.
