I was not so offended but rather massively confused :) But hey, everything solved now, made a new thread.

2
Alright, made a new thread :)

Inspired by Sambojin's "Limbo training" thread I am offering a save for my current Archangel666 run with some nice weapons.

It's on HMP, current level 256, Blademaster, XP maxed out, 100% kills

Equipment:

cybernano red armor
ripper-chainsaw
nuclear plasma-rifle with all kinds of mods
nano shotgun
nano plasma-rifle
enviroboots
a-modded cerberus plasteel boots
Nyarlaptotep's boots
napalm launcher
Hellstaff
a lot of medpacks
some rockets

Yep, the RNG was being very generous so far this run.

So, I was thinking if someone would like to have some fun with the nice weapons or for some training purposes...

Hijacking...? He was offering a save, I was offering a save - thought I wasn't being that off-topic. I would have considered it spamming rather to open up a new thread for this. I don't consider a HMP run that specutacular, I was just thinking some people *might* want to have some fun with all the nano-guns and stuff. But ok, sorry for hijacking Sambojin's thread.

I am playing a HMP Archangel of 666 right now, I got a cybernano red armor, a ripper-chainsaw, a nano shotgun, a nano plasma-rifle, enviroboots, cerberusboots, a nucler plasma-rifle, a ton of medpacks, a Hellstaff, a napalm launcher... currently I am on level 204. The character is a Blademaster, maxed out experience, 100% kills so far.

Anyone interested in a save of that? To have some fun or whatever? Let me know, I am sure this is taking me a few more days to complete.

Post Mortem / [U|100%|YAAM] Scavenger Platinum + Diamond
« on: September 12, 2013, 12:28 »
Well, my first Diamond and probably my last - at least for a long, long time. Somehow I figured this Diamond was the only one within range of my current skill and experience with the game so I gave it a try. I have been wondering how to clear the Vaults "by luck" but after giving it some thoughts I had an idea how to go about it. Luckily for me it worked. I don´t know if this is considered a spoiler (as with the Dragonslayer) so I am keeping it vague here...

As you can see I didn´t bother with every special floor (nothing on earth would ever get me to enter the spider´s lair when I don´t have to lol) only the ones that spawn rewards I wanted.

Anyway, actually I almost died on the third or fourth floor due to being spawned extremely unlucky between the line of fire of two Barons and a couple Imps with no cover in actual sight, yeah great fun. Somehow (= some health packs and a lucky teleport along the way) I managed to get away after all.

I found my first power mod in the Armory and decided to build a tactical shotgun instead of going for the piercing chainsaw. So, that was the first time in who knows how long that I had to kill Cybie with a regular unmodded chainsaw (I don´t even remember IF I ever had to do that before). To be honest I wasn´t quite sure how that would go down but no big problem luckily after all.

Ok, Unholy Cathedral, Azrael´s Scythe, yeah! So, no need for that chainsaw anymore and glad I didn´t waste that power mod on it.

No problems clearing the Vaults.

Found another power mod AND a nano pack (what a nice surprise!) later on - powered red armor here I come. Breezed through the rest of the game, nothing worth writing about anymore.

Agony Elemental caves? But... why? Those are the easiest caves

That´s the reason I dislike them :D With the blademaster trait and the Dragonslayer you know they are easy prey - so slashing your way through a screenfull of enemies who hardly make a scratch into your armor? Booooring as hell, if you ask me. Now, without blademaster that´s a whole different story of course. But I have never encountered these caves without blademaster as I only play none-melee builds for weapon challenges. So, to answer your question - it´s boring AND (thus pointlessly) time-consuming.

Nightmare arachno caves, oh yeah, they are still a challenge even with the DS - my Malek´s was down to 40% usually but luckily I still had the lava armor with me.

When looking at your recent deaths on 666 - how about you go with melee as well for a change? Sooner or later a chainsaw (or even the butcher´s cleaver) will show up :-))

Quote
Anyway, nice win

Thanks :-))

Well, apparently the Dragonslayer likes me to show up again :-)) This time, when I started playing, I wanted to go for the 100 % killrate with or without the DS. As you can see I almost succeded. I didn´t remember from my last ArchAo666 that the level ends once the Apostle is dead. So the usual "go-for-the-Archvile-first" was a little unhelpful in this case. So, the remaining 11 enemies I didn´t kill are from the last level *sigh*. Seriously, so annoying. I don´t think I feel like doing another 666 levels anytime soon again.

The run itself was pretty cool and (up until the DS) even pretty challenging - at one point I almost died because I didn´t manage to find any decent armor (had three P-modded red armors with me but they were already down in the red and *of course* most armor bonuses got shot to pieces before I could reach them.) So, I was almost dead and thinking: when I don´t find some decent armor SOON that´s it. Lo and behold - next level I found the lava armor. Didn´t know it was that awesome because I have only found it in "normal" runs before and I don´t bother building cerberus boots on normal runs - so it was a little useless to me in earlier games. I used it until I found the DS because then it was time for Malek´s armor. IMHO there is hardly any better armor to go with the DS. I was a little sad I found the Nyarlaptotep´s boots SO late so I used the first nano-pack I found to build some plasteel antigrav-boots and wow, they are even better! With my gear and traits I then had a movement speed of 0.13 and I wiped the floor with most enemies before they even had a chance to react. Definitely awesome!

Oh, and that sad moment when you find another nano-pack and realize you can´t use it anymore as you can´t unequip the DS to use it on a weapon. Didn´t feel like building that ultra nanoonyx-armor I won´t be able to unequip either lol.

As you can see from the mortem I was forced to go with the piercing blade until level 119 when I *finally* found the chainsaw to build a ripper with. Luckily I had the right mod-packs already! And guess what - of course I found the subtle knife and the butcher´s cleaver after I had build the ripper ;-))

I build my first biggest fucking gun (with a nuclear BFG hehehe...) in this run. To be honest - I was a little reluctant at first to use it as I feared it would wipe me off the map as well. Believe it or not - some time ago I managed to kill myself with a BFG10k on level 98 of an Ao100 game because I didn´t know you could kill yourself with it o_O. I should read the wiki more often.

Anyway, long story short - on level 337 I found the Dragonslayer (I am definitely happy the game waited fairly long before it showed up this time) and I did have some wonderful hours of boredom since then ;-)) I hate hate hate agony elemental caves!!!

Nice speedrun too! Just under 15 minutes...

Well, for some reason the Archangel of Travel is easier than the "usual" Angel of Light Travel. Probably the increased speed bonus. Believe it or not - this was my first attempt getting the Lightfood Platinum on ArchAoLT! Countless attempts before I tried to achieve the badge playing the normal AoLT... no luck.

Thanks for all your replies and congrats :)

How is that better?

He just fled away from daemons without killing anything.

To prevent from dying of boredom (in my "defense" I killed every single demon up until about level 100) ;-) Seriously, will all the equipment I got on me and my traits it was no challenge at all anymore. I used like 2 medkits if even on the last 500 or so levels and besides that the soulcubes, health globes and whatnot were sufficient. And by the way, I am female :-) But well, my nickname hardly gives that away.

Quote from: Tormuse

The correct answer to your question is he usually *doesn't* appear!  :P  I've been playing this game off and on for over two years and I've never encountered the Apostle.  I think he only "normally" appears if you have Dragonslayer and Berserker Armor and personally, I've never figured out how to use either one.  :|  I'm impressed that a "noob" was able to do it!  It's the big secret of the game that few people know how to do!  Congrats!  :)

It was version 0.9.9.5, actually, and yes, there was a bug where the Apostle was guaranteed to appear on level 100.

Thanks :-) Well, noob as in I never played the game before 0996, can´t make it past the Anomaly on Nightmare and die in 9 out of 10 Ultra Violence runs. Actually, I picked up the Dragonslayer in 0996 before but to be honest I met part of the required conditions partly by mere accident/chance. Lucky me, I guess.

15
Yeah, first time I have ever encountered the Apostle and then this, lol. Noob question: when does the Apostle usually appear? I have played 0996 extensively (even finished several Ao100 runs) but never seen it. Only when you wield the Dragonslayer or something?
