Nightmare! / [N!|AoSH/AoOC|56%] aaaaAAAAAAA (Shottyman Angelic)
« on: April 24, 2013, 16:12 »
I just wanted a nice little game, I think.
Shottyman Angelic, what's the odds that I can get that anyways, I think. You get almost no shotgun shells in Hell even if you get a good run, so you have to get very lucky.
Well. I didn't get very lucky. So clearly I was wrong.
My nerves were utterly shot at the end of that Mastermind fight. Sure, I had an invul going in, but it lasted less than half his life. The rest was done with my two large medkits, my blue armor(both of which are missing) and a lot of attempted corner shots.
The final two shots were taken at 25% life. (17% after the first.) Thank you, TaN.
I did get three invulns at good spots(Edit: Or was it two? Eleven minutes can move really fast, and I forget for sure; I seem to recall getting that last Invulnerability on Hell:6...ah well.), and a lot of trigger happy Mancubi cleared out a surprising amount of that kill amount for me, but I wouldn't say it was ever easy.
I need to do something relaxing. That was...something. Just look at that beautiful inventory. So pretty.

This is basically me messing around with one of the fastest win tricks in the game.
Simply get enough invinco(disclaimer: This is a lot of invinco. This run got three Hell:1 Invincos and rode on it for literally the entire game. I forget if I found a fourth...), learn how to pacifist your way through massive volleys of juggling rockets, and use the Chainsaw to carve up the Mastermind. Simple! Not very likely to happen. But simple! It was something fun to muck with, since it's such a hilarious thing to be able to do.
The thing is, this massively high RNG strategy, executed pretty fast, took two and a half minutes. Is Speedrunner Angelic, which has to run triple the area, including several forced long walks(Entrance, Phobos Anomaly, gotta get up to Mastermind...let's assume Cyberdemon starts within melee distance, oh and since it's a normal run you need to visit Chained Court to pick up a Chainsaw or else it takes way longer. Or massively blast your odds downward, by requiring a rare melee weapon to spawn on the way. Or requiring two nuclear devices/a Trigun.), actually possible? Even with literally chained stairs within LoS(With a handy Invinco as needed before Cyberdemon/Mastermind) as you come down them?
Oh, sure, you can get Phases in the right spots to cut the walks, too. But it's still going to take a bit to get through the entrance. And as bad as the odds already are, how likely is that set of lucky Phases? Or maybe they'll be Homings, let's lower the odds even more.
I admit, my computer's not cutting edge, and some small amount of lag may be taking place, and having to cut through Limbo probably added thirty seconds here(Limbo's not that long of a walk, when you're invinco...but I did get shot at a lot.). But I'm legitimately wondering if Speedrunner Angelic is actually doable.
RNGs usually have limitations that prevent one in a billion shots from actually occuring, and it certainly feels like it's in that area(this took four or five hundred runs. Don't let my total deaths fool you, I just reset everything that obviously had no chance. Still only took a few hours though.).
As such, I'm curious to see if anyone can get this down to a minute(optimally, under would be best for proof of concept). If that's possible, then Speedrunner Angelic probably is. Good luck with that, though. This is still funny in its own right. :)

I suppose this is a death, it wasn't very stupid since not just one goal, but a second one I considered unbelievably long term, were accomplished.
The idea was simple; "Hey, how close can AoB/AoOC with an invinco come to getting Longinus Diamond?". Get an invinco close to the stairs, and use the Chainsaw drop berserk trick, and go go go. Level Finesse/Hellrunner so you get more turns invinco. Simple idea, and while it takes an amazing amount of tries(You do not get this combination of factors fast), it seems worth trying. I got Longinus Platinum without knowing about the Chainsaw trick...how hard can it be?
The logic here being that, since I know the general tactic for getting this normally involves doing laps around the lava pool for 30 minutes or so, that even a huge amount of restarts can be done in a short enough span of time so that it's not actually that much slower.
The answer is that it can actually do it. I had a heartbreaking run where I actually downed the Angel, but was out of Medkits and died to the last few Demons filing in on top of his corpse. No big deal; The only good luck I'd gotten that run was getting the invinco in the right place, and a well placed Bulk pack, a Berserk pack on the way in, almost anything would have worked. (Probably doing the Chainsaw drop earlier than reaching the Demon horde would have too, in retrospect.)
So, play a little more for good RNG.
That's not...quite how I got it, though. I happened to see, not an Invinco on one run, but Dragonslayer.
So, I tried some suggestions from a friend (Well, specifically he mentioned what he was going to try if he saw it.), and I tried a few things and wait I picked it up?
...
I picked it up. Well then. Let's go see about a Diamond.
Sadly, I died a bit later-had to use up all my Medkits in the Cathedral, and the game gave me no healing in the two floors I dashed through, so I fell a bit short even with the amazing power of Dragonslayer.
And I'm still not entirely sure what I did that picked it up! Though I have a reasonably good idea.
But hey, I'm now extremely happy with this run. Worth ramming into the game for an hour before bed for. :)

This took way too long.
The idea I had was, after looking over and deciding that Scavenger made for an iffy all-rounder build, to find out what I considered would.
Oddly enough, Malicious Blades does. You have to take two levels of Brute, but the other reqs are pretty balanced out, and the benefits are both good in melee and not. It actually encourages closing with an enemy as often as running, too, which was really, really good once I got used to it.
The earlygame was a mass of Combat Shotgun work, then when MMB got rolling, I started dualwielding Chainblades. Got Whizkid 2 rolling so they'd make nice 8d3 weapons, then started pumping general skills like SoB. Used the Hyperblaster with a Sniper on it for my ranged combat, along with a Tac Shotgun, for quite a while.
I never really got much in the way of uniques(You can see my hopeful carrying of Berserker Armor, but no dice.), but the exotic haul was pretty crazy-the last 15 floors or so were bombarded with Nuclear BFG spam and the Nuclear Plasma Rifle was really useful. P3/T2 Assault Shotgun is scarily good, too, generally dealing Elephant Gun level damage at long range due to the more focused cone, and far faster to chainfire. Could have gotten more armor luck, two Onyx and no Nano was a bit sad, and it took so long to get the first one that I made a Nanofiber Red (P) because of how much armor trouble I was having.
I had some Phaseshift (A) Boots, but I was taking so much lava damage from that Lava Elemental cave that they melted through repeated 1/2 damage ticks-I could have swapped on Phaseshift Armor, but I wanted the higher Protection/Fire protection that the OP Red would give, and thought I had enough time(there was a Megasphere I had seen in the cave). Was wrong. That was an amazingly scary cave. Agony Elemental cave wasn't much easier.
Sadly was a bit short of the second Experience medal. :(
100 levels of torture is moderately accurate. That took way too long, even counting the hidden breaks where I just left the game on. I can't imagine doing that on N!.
Seriously, though, where did those three enemies go? I realized I wasn't at 100% some time in the 80s, but I thought every floor was blue. Oh well, I decided to keep killing in hopes of hitting 25, but no go.
Oh, and the person that came up with the idea of how Elite Commandos work is a cruel person. It was scary enough when I thought they all had Napalm Launchers, but when one of them hit me with some kind of spread plasma weapon(Either a BFG10k or a Tristar, I was too floored by him not firing napalm to be sure which), I nearly had a heart attack.
Edit: Oh, darn it, sorry, I forgot about the Century Lounge when I made this. I'd delete it and repost there, but it doesn't seem to be letting me. If someone would move that, that would be great. :) Again, sorry!

Post Mortem / [U|AoMr|100%|YAAM] This was a blast.
« on: April 12, 2013, 19:18 »
Sadly, not a nuclear blast. Never saw any nukes on the run, or I would have had my UV Full, but oh well.
This run is pretty clean cut, and was a ton of fun. AoMr builds (Like Dualgunner/Bullet Dance) I generally find so-so, but Sharpshooter specifically I really enjoy. Storm Bolter is a nice baseline pistol for it(never got anything better, but that was okay), and getting it early helped a ton.
Then I got that Nano from Hell's Armory. Suddenly, for the first time, I was staring down the option of Whizkid 2 Nanoskin Armor, something I'd been wanting to try for ages. The results were pretty awesome; A build that was generally defensively anemic suddenly was quite capable of tanking basically all fire attacks and heavily reducing everything else.
It kinda got to be a blur of maniacal laughter, a massive ton of corner shooting, cracking up when SoG4 started triggering knockback on all my Storm Bolter shots, and then me randomly trying Mortuary out of hubris. (I knew I couldn't use the rewards.)
I didn't actually come that close to dying in there, but I could easily have, and it took way, way too long. Wouldn't reproduce that without more reason to do it, like a Conquest attempt. At least I somehow didn't come out far behind on ammo, despite going from 700~ and three ammo chains to two ammo chains and 150 shots when I finally dropped the last enemy.
I actually went into the Mastermind fight both Berserk and Invulnerable. This was just insult to injury.
I really need to try AoMr N! for my Diamond attempt. Granted, I already have tried it and it...didn't work out well yet, but hey, it has to some time. Hopefully.

Well, the first Mortem I ever made was on the 26th of last month, so a bit less than two weeks. Pretty fun game.
I'm not terribly fond of N!, I have to say-respawn, especially as fast as it happens(way too many cases of killing a group of enemies/having one instantly pop up again and require multiple turns extra to put down) isn't very fun to me, so me getting a high kills run probably won't happen. Challenges on lower difficulties are more fun for me. :)
Also, I cannot beat Hell's Arena on N! for the life of me. I've gotten pretty close, since I kinda want that Platinum, but I'm utterly lost as to how to do it consistently enough to get through. Shame, though it didn't surprise me much.
Still, low kills, it's reasonably fun. I hit on a strategy I liked during UV; Take TaN1, go straight for MAD after, take TaN2, get good armor, and pretend my Marine is some kind of moderate maneuverability armored vehicle that sprays a very strange shrapnel tank cannon. Found that the Elephant Gun worked really well for this strategy, so I generally shot for it. This got me through 100% UV and AoS UV(Sadly, not the same run. Because I thought my 80 cells worth of Plasma Shotgun would get through The Wall, and they didn't. :( ), but I recognized pretty quick that tanking is not really that optimal for N!.
On the other hand, I didn't have a better idea of which new strategy to learn, and I figured the build would work decently(Modified it a bit for TaN2 early, though.).
Got lucky on Power Mods, which was good, as I didn't get lucky on Double Shotguns(I think I finally found one in Hell. I didn't bother with it.), got a lucky Phase Device for Phobos Anomaly(Is this even possible to live through without either a Phase, Hellrunner 2 or rocket jumping?) and a nice Shell Box that, combined, got me through with very reasonable 20%~ damage, and since this was my first run that had gotten past Anomaly at all, I figured I was pretty dead somewhere along the line.
Nope. I managed to get my Elephant Gun on F9, which helped massively, got fairly good luck on Medkits(which is to say, I got some), and even managed to get a lucky Invinco on F...14. Fortunately F15 was a cave, so it was time to run as fast as I could. The invinco lasted about five turns after Cyberdemon, so I definitely cut that close.
Hell had multiple close calls(including one situation where I had to Homing off the entire floor nearly instantly and pray that the other end wasn't too guarded. It wasn't.) and my armor was pretty shredded towards the end-I got lucky and picked up a Red and a Ballistic Vest somewhere in there, for the final.
Unfortunately, I still don't really entirely get Spider Mastermind's kiting AI, but I got two lucky breaks. First, I happened to remember to try rocket AoE shooting him, which broke off about 30% of his remaining 50%~ life after I ran out of Medkits.
Secondly, that broken pillar that I made during that confused the poor thing greatly. I wasn't sure what it was going to do, but I was never sure what it was going to do, so I figured confusing the AI by ducking through it would make for a good strategy. I'm not sure if it did or not, but I got enough out of LoS shots to win, so I figure it was a good plan.
Phew, too close though. I would have had a nuke for it, but a jerk Hell Baron blew it up while I was standing on it. :(
Still, pretty happy, considering how little I've been playing. :)
