 Before him 77 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 69 of those were killed.
 1 of those was killed by something unknown.
 1 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
 And 5 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
 Is he immortal? 1 souls claim to have killed him...
 1 killed the bastard and survived.

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

Four mancubi. Two archviles. An invulnerability globe. Guess which one I didn't get!

One of my better AoMr attempts, but my best... well, you see that "didn't read the bomb manual" thing? Yeah. I Phase Deviced into the Vaults, used a second one to try to get out because I didn't have a HOming Phase Device, and didn't have the Anti-Freak Jackal (can its explosions blast walls?).

So, for lack of any other option, I nuked the place that time.

But anyway. This run was going pretty well, despite Hell's Armory apparently not spawning and me apparently destroying one Unique. The lack of any damage mods was annoying, since on the "nuked the vaults" run I had three of the damn things, but the constant stream of Accuracy and Reload mods helped slightly.

I should've just used the Homing Phase Device to get out of that, but I wasn't expecting to go from 80% to 0% in one round!

Haven't had any unique luck these past few tries; missile launcher on one, gothic boots this time, one run without any... argh.

Amusing note: On one of my AoMr attempts, I just stood there plugging away at Mancubi that just kept being revived, almost never taking a hit. Then I moved and got too close to a wall. Yeah, I make really stupid mistakes around explosives.

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

I knew I was off to a good start with green armor, six medpacks, and a combat shotgun when I went into the Arena. As things progressed, I got three different unique weapons (including my second railgun, I love that thing), and it went fairly smoothly...

Until about level 22 when I ran out of chaingun ammo. Luckily I held onto my Assault Shotgun, and used it to gather power cells.

But as you may have noticed from my inventory, health at the end was not an issue. Armor, ammo, yeah. Health, nope. My chaingun killed most enemies before they could fire, and TaN and (at the end) Hellrunner kept me in very good health. Most injuries were dealt with with Globes, Supercharges (I got quite a few this time around), and Small Med-Packs.

Didn't have any phase devices to get into the center Vault room, which is a shame, since a Unique spawned on the Vaults this time. I could've had four uniques! But I managed to loot the other two with the Railgun.

This is also the first time I got the Assault Shotgun in a few weeks, which seemed weird since it was my first Unique and one that kept popping up in early games of mine.

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

Found three artifacts! A shame one was useless for my build and the other just wasn't all that good, but I got three!

I learned a few very important things in this run.

1. You can never have enough red armors.
2. You can never count on finding enough red armors.
3. Always know the exact blast radius of a barrel before blasting it.
4. Barrels make good weapons when you use them right.
5. Always remember to switch away from the Plasma Rifle when it is no longer needed.

That last one is completely unrelated to the first four.

I was originally going for a chaingun/plasma rifle build, but I delayed Eagle Eye because the combat shotgun was working just fine for me for a while. Then I found the Grammaton Cleric Beretta, and my old plan went right out the window - though due to a lack of any good pistols other than that one, I decided to delay Dualgunner for something that'd help what I already had.

The Beretta killed revenants pretty quickly, but I switched to the plasma rifle mostly for Arachnotrons and Mancubi, and kept the Combat Shotgun for Lost Soul mobs since it's so good for wiping them out.

My Halls of Carnage attempt was terminated quickly by a lack of health, but at least I got a supercharge out of it. Later I found a nuke for the Cyberdemon anyway... shame I never had a chance to use the damn thing.

This was the best I've ever done... hopefully one of my next ones will end successfully. Tips? And I still don't know how to get into the Vaults short of using phase devices...

EDIT: Oh, forgot about my usual name theme. Lloyd Black is my chaingun name, Brian Miller for melee, Jacob Orine for pistols, and Kyle Lundin for shotguns.
