Title: Is this logical?
Post by: The DoomRLguy on June 06, 2010, 13:52

Why is there a badge for completing Hell's Arena on Nightmare? Round 2 doesn't end. Round 1 is always fine, but EVERY TIME, round 2 refuses to end, leaving me to fight infinitely respawning corpses. How do I deal with with this?

Perhaps it's a bug. Or you simply kill creatures too slowly so that they respawn and lurk outside LOS ?
(I did that badge and I assure you, it is possible.)

You can get it. Its just extreemly diffucult.
You need to be fast, herd them all to the middle and kill them fast.

If you kill them around the arena in different spots, they will respawn and move around thus why the round 2 never seems to end.

Yes it is entirely possible, in melee even.

From what I remember from this challenge the main trick is killing fast enough. Other then that, corpse disposal is the only trick that I found helped. If you know that you are going to take a blast from a cacodemon, at least be standing near a corpse so the blast wipes it out. Also killing mobs on top of a corpse will leave you with one less corpse (I don't remember if the old or the new corpse gets destroyed, but only one corpse survives). I avoid the Hell's Arena on N! unless I have a really good reason to go there (or I'm a pacifist and just running through).

Easiest way to do it is in Angel of Max Carnage mode.
