It seems that this might be possible although it would require extreme luck. Tried 10 or so test runs. The first levels are even harder than AoB as any enemy except a former human can be deadly and you start with only 2 small med packs compared to 2 large ones in AoB. After you gain a few levels it becomes manageable as long as you don't fight anything bigger than demons if you're not zerking.

Can anyone (Dervis maybe) give any advice how this could be won?

Question to Kornel: Does throwing a knife to a barrel count as using it? Does picking up, for example, chainsaw count as using it if you take it off of your hand immediately or after some time? Does hitting enemys with, for example, pistol in hand count as using it?

Nightmare! / [N!|AoB|47%|YaVP] No Longinus Spear
« on: October 18, 2009, 11:31 »
Decided to take a break from trying N! AoMs and Masochist Diamond because those games take so long and are rather boring. AoB sounded good with pure adrenaline all the time. Managed to win H AoB on like 5th try. AoB seems alot easier than it used to be. Thought that maybe N! isn't easier and then I win it in under 10 tries. In one of those previous N! AoB's I managed to get Longinus Spear just to die on next level. Now I couldn't zerk on the demons so had to leave AD and LS behind.

Does it really matter that much now brute that gives bonus to accuracy also. Or is the reason to easier AoB that berserk activate more easily nowadays as it seems.

This run was lucky although I didn't find any uniques. I cleared 2 levels past L20 while invulnerable. It's so much fun running between 5 V's and multiple R and M while invulnerable and watch them kill each other. I was still invulnerable when i fought Cybie so not much of a fight there either.

I got this through with about 10 tries. Not that much compared to about 30 which I needed for N! AoLT, the only other N! win (well if you don't count AoPc) which I've got. One of my tries got to L16 with Necro Armor found when I died with 99% of experience needed to level-up gained.

N! AoMs is 100% fun. not like AoB where it's more or less about luck on the early levels. this becomes harder with each level descended.

Can't wait for the new version. This game is so much fun.

Finally won this one after endless amount of tries. This time i decided not to fight (and to die to) Angel of Death after not going berserking on the demons. Every single time I've tried to fight him when I've got that far and not once I've got berserk on.

This time I got berserk on level 16 and went to stairs immediately. After both my phase devices I still found myself outside the walls. After that I went doing the usual fight against the demons and realized I wasn't berserking. Luckily I decided to see what the end game is like without Longinus Spear, though, which I've never gotten anyway. And guess what I find a few levels later (on ~L20), Dragonslayer! I'd just heard rumors about it before and now I find it, great. Somehow I managed to pick it up and the last levels were a breeze after that. Even Cybie was almost dead after 2 hits.

One reason I decided to skip the sure fatal fight against AoD was that I got the Necroarmor which really helped the mid game. I also found Phaseshift Armor which I didn't use even once though.

* No pushing luck this time. I was at 96%/L10 when facing Cybie. I was planning to homing device myself to Cybie if I would have gotten to L11 prior the fight. But maybe it's better this way.

** Left two levels without killing everything. First was at ~L5 when I just couldn't find one monster thanks to lava/acid or something. The other one was one arachnocave with mucho lava. Came to mind just a minute ago that I could have used phase devices to get the last 3 arachnos but didn't. Oh well, maybe it's better missing 4 kills rather than 1 from YAAM.

*** At last or should I say it not. It did take only 3 tries the second one dieing at hell's arena thanks to having the arena master spawn the last three cacos next to me. I think AoMs isn't that hard if you use the proper tactic. (Cateye + corner shooting + blowing up walls)

**** Decided to try badass this time. Not sure whether it was helpful or not. At least I noticed that killing enemys was much harder midgame without enough levels of SoB. TaN isn't really needed if you won't get cornered and if you kill the enemy's before they get close to you (Cateye or pushing them back).

***** This time found only one red armor and it was quite early (~L10). It was enough thou because I luckily found durability mod for it not much after finding the armor. I replaced it with the blue one on L24.

****** Quite many of these.


Overall:

I used a combat shotty quite long because I went the badass route first and couldn't use a chaingun effectively until midgame after investing in SoB. That's pretty much why I didn't take EE first. I think combat shotty is quite good on this challenge thanks to that it can be used to corner shoot without bothering with ammo and of course because it can also hit many enemies that way.

This was quite a fun challenge to play. Alot more than AoP for instance. Now I gotta try AoB seriously. Maybe half of the DoomRL games I've played are AoB tries. Got to Unholy Cathedral once and got steam rolled by AoD. Also I still have UV before getting the next rank. I think I'm gonna use the tactic I used for AoMs for UV too.

*     Missed kills on L24 because I wanted to win and "not to take any chances" :D
**   Hmm, why is it always that I barely get killed. One shot kill worth about 45% health
*** Yeah, I planned to use this but why i didn't, don't ask me...

First try on AoMs and it went well. Too well to be precise. I got abit too overconfident and didn't use nuke in the first place. Not much more to say. Went with chaingun and rockets. used lots of corner firing and blowed up quite a few walls. I wasn't even close to die until L25. At ~L21 I spawned next to 2 V's and a few other fellas but got lots of phase devices and used one to get out of the situation. I found my first homing phase devices (2) on L22 and had about 7 normal ones before that. Though I didn't really need them except at forementioned time. Armors were plenty and ammo wasn't much of a concern.

First, gotta say this is a great game. Have been playing this for few weeks now. Have won the game twice (both AoMr). Now I've been playing quite a few games of AoI. Made it maybe 3 times to the last 5 hell levels before this. Now it went pretty smoothly except I didn't get much armor, as usual for my AoI runs (last run I died on phobos base 21 without finding even a single red armor). Two reds and phaseshift to be precise and a few blue ones.

So, I went to kill Cybie with the phaseshift armor with ~70% and one red with maybe 40%. Ammo was also bit of a problem. Phobos 24 had Arachnotrons on a caves? level. Had to use my last rockets and fire couple bfg shots to get to the stairs. So I went to try to kill Cybie with few bullets without much thinking. Just loaded my bfg full and had enough cells to load one shot more into it. Arena went smoothly and I got cybie next to almost dead with bfg. Then came the problems. First I tried to shoot once with bfg without it having enough cells (38 dammit!). Then I swapped to chaingun (why this and why not plasma rifle no one knows?) and got him to almost dead. Then I got two volleys of bullets thru and got killed soon after.

Had I been thinking a bit more I would have got him. Without the one shot the bfg didn't fire or with me thinking more and using plasma rifle instead of chaingun AoI would be won now!

Oh well, gotta play some more. :)
