Awesome! I am vindicated!

Pre-0.9.9 / =(

They can indeed pick up things. I love it when Barons of Hell shoot me with a pistol instead of acid-balling me into oblivion.

Sure, in fact, even better: I uploaded the score.dat here:

Have fun!

All I can say for now, that the current version has a overspawn bug, that crashes the game when too many monsters appear. It's my fault, and I'm terribly sorry for that.


Well, the "secret boss" does spawn lots of Barons of Hell, so that may explain it.

I think it may be my fault for not killing them fast enough though. =)

As for the where I got the BFGs question: I got 2 of them in the City of Skulls.

Anyway, I just finished another game. This time, I killed the Cyberdemon (rather easily, since I had an overcharged plasma rifle and 3 loaded BFGs---1 from Halls of Carnage and 2 from City of Skulls). I got the normal ending. This is the post-mortem I got. The last line is the most interesting.

 Before him 2 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 1 of those was killed.

 Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
 Is he immortal? 1 souls claim to have killed him...
 1 showed that it can outsmart hell itself.

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

Anyway, if you don't believe me, here's a screenshot:

(Before anyone says "OMG IT IS NOT EVEN WINDOZ", I use bbLean and ObjectDock as my shell replacement, so it looks like a better OS. =) And it's not Photoshopped, because I do not have Photoshop. It may be Painted, actually I did paste the screenshot into Paint to save it, which explains the color loss, because Paint sucks in its PNG export.)

There was one of 'em invincibility orbs a few feet away from the stairs down to the Arena this time, again. I couldn't pick it up, though, because a Baron of Hell blasted me when I was next to it and took it out.

Anyway, welcome to the forum wingie! I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt here and congratulate you on at least discovering the special ending!


Thank you! I hope somebody can either duplicate the findings, or, say, Kornel himself would appear and settle this once and for all. =) You were right in that I never mentioned any powerups in the Phobos Arena---it was in the level right before it.

I think the monster inconsistencies may have resulted from the crash / monsters in the "secret level" that I BFGed. As to why it said "the first person to ever venture into hell", I downloaded it fresh for this computer---I've been playing for two weeks at another. Maybe that has something to do with it? That a "new" version got put up very recently?

Anyway, I do not expect you to believe me, especially when I don't have some very easily-shopped ACSii screenshots to accompany my post. I do expect you, however, to try to find the "special ending" on your own---I'm pretty sure the trigger is nuking the Cyberdemon while you're invincible.

SO. This was the second time where I made it to the Cyberdemon, and the first where I got past him...

I killed the Cyberdemon, and then I got a message that says something like "You outsmarted Hell itself! But why is the evil still there?" and a staircase down. I took it down... and found a level called Hell Fortress with John Carmack, who preceeded to open six cans of whoopass on me. He kept summoning Barons of Hell, but I was doing fine since I had 2 BFGs and loads of ammo. After about 8 shots on Carmack and loads of dead demons my game crashed, but it automatically saved my character. When I reloaded... well... I had to start the level over again with the equipment I had at the end of my battle, which is 4 shots worth of energy cells and no armor. =( So I died and got this dump.

Here's the deal: I killed big C not by shooting him, but by thermonuclear device WHILE I WAS INVINCIBLE! (I was lucky enough to find an invincibility globe a few steps away from the staircase in the previous level. So I just nuked the crap out of him. Is this why I got the special message and level instead of the ending the Wiki mentioned?

Has anyone else ever gotten this? Was the crash the result of me beating Carmack? Because, seriously, nothing should survive 8 BFG shots. =)
