Been working at Platinum Angel of Humanity. Been working on it all night! Turns out sleep deprivation doesn't translate well to good tactics. 12 hp, man. It takes you far! That red armor and berserk. Makes you feel invincible. Thought this was the one I was going to win. And then I decided to shotgun a former commando 2-squares away, rather than chainsawing it.
Why?
Why.

1 of those was killed by something unknown.
And 5 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.
4 souls destroyed the Mastermind...
2 killed the bitch and survived.
2 showed that it can outsmart Hell itself.

(I played through most of the game in phaseshift. Usually switched when major threats appeared. Not this time. Welp.)
Arena's arena. Easy once you know the tricks. Sometimes it murders you horribly, but that's RNG for you.
Chained court has been the hardest part of this challenge, by far. Those barons just decide to wander in randomly like it aint a thing. And then they tend to destroy the packs, one way or another. Any strats for consistently luring the guy into a nice gunning column would be appreciated. That tactical cut down on the volume of shotgun juggling I had to do immensely, though.
Also been working on my ammo-conservation skills. Shells actually run out in UV, unlike N!. Switching to that chaingun to finish off nearly-dead enemies gave me enough shell-volume to scout the CC no problem.
Phobos lab introduced me to Nightmare Demons, which are kind of terrifying. Killed me once in a previous run (they just wouldn't get knocked back!)
In the middle of Phobos, I completely forgot about the existence of vampyre, and went Finesse 2, eager for wizkid (was overflowing with mods). By the time I remembered to actually build properly, it was too late, sadly.
The anomaly was pretty straightforward. Overloaded my health, ran to right. Berserk got triggered. Shotgunned everything. Brusier bros appears, rocketed them a couple times, then sawed their faces.
Once (hopefully soon) I actually finish this run, I'll also post the completed mortem in the same thread. Nervous about spider mastermind, though; I don't actually know exactly how to avoid its damage; planning to just sidestep into melle range and punch face, but without hellrunner, will his missiles tear me apart?
e: oh wait, you avoid it by going invincible. Right.
