-- General ---------------------------------------------------

 Before him 474 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 438 of those were killed.
 6 of those were killed by something unknown.
 And 28 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
 Is he immortal? 2 souls claim to have killed him...
 1 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
 1 killed the bastard and survived.

* Once I got the BFGs from Halls of Carnage and City of Skulls, whenever I could get to stairs, I used them immediately.  Special or not, enemies left behind or not, didn't matter.
** Cybie either has as much vision range as a player with Cateye(2), or else he just retaliates to anything shot at him no matter how far.  I also suspect he's immune to knockback of any sort.
*** I didn't think getting Triggerhappy was a smart idea because I'd ditched the chaingun by then and went mostly with the plasma rifle (surprise, surprise).  So I was at a loss as to what to get.
**** I initially went with 'glass' before 'cannon', but decided to switch because this seems more effective.  Eagle Eye needs to be first however.
$ And one of these I accidentally ambushed at POINT-BLANK range, where with my traits, two plasma rifle volleys is enough to kill.
$* Not quite true - I just snagged the BFG9000 and left.
$** First stairs I found on that level, but I believe going here was a mistake.  I cleaned out the place because I felt I was never close enough to the stairs to make a mad dash and survive.  Cost me two large medpacks, which might have been better served against Cybie - but I did get a LOT of plasma ammo which might have gotten me to Cybie in the first place.
$*** Again, just needed to find stairs ASAP.


So, basically, I've reached the point where I nearly have the challenge down.  I believe I had enough ammo to take Cybie down, maybe even just with the BFG, but it was health that was the bigger issue.  Lastly, I regret not tossing rockets away and picking up a thermonuclear bomb when I had the chance (I thought I'd need the ammo to even survive), as I'd have won without that slip-up.


Because I'm so utterly frustrated with AoLT and just want to reach Captain status, I'm strongly considering savescumming next time I do it.  To make such a playthrough worthwhile to me at all (both strategy-wise and accomplishment-wise) I'd probably do it on UV, with 100% kills and doing every special level I find (barring maybe Unholy Cathedral).  AND getting a full win, which I haven't had the chance to get since skipping an opportunity due to 'not feeling ready'.  Trust me, that'd be plenty difficult.
