I haven't played much DoomRL under the current version, and I'm not too familiar with the new layout.

I was running a few AoPc games trying to get those lower badges(I have gold from a previous version where that only required completing AoPc), and ran into some trouble at Babel.

Is there a way to run past the Cyberdemon, like with the Bruiser Brothers? Is there a staircase I didn't find? Or do you have to be lucky enough to find an invulnerability powerup on the previous level, like with the old full wins? I had to drop my nuke and settle for Bronze, and I'd like to do better next time.

[LuckyDee]

There is indeed a staircase on the far end of the level...

[SageAcrin]

...do note that it's only there on AoPc, though.

[Sereg]

Good to know, thanks. I'll have a look for it next run.

It should be like that for a pacifist:
Marine: [Diplomacy] Let me pass! Your boss is a threat to all living things!
Cybie: Oh my god, you're right! Hurry, here's the key to the stairwell to Hell!

Cybie:  ...but I'm gonna have to fire a few rockets at you as you run by so it looks like I'm still doing my job.

[Sereg]

Found it, got my AoPc Silver now.

Now... how am I going to get enough golds for captain... I'm so bad at this game =P

xD xD xD
Would have made such a great doomRL comic !


Reminds me of angband's doomguys to-do list :

• Go to chain courts
• Grab chainsaw
• Kill MM

You're learning. Since you're still gaining new badges and ranks, you are definitely improving. Before you know it, you'll snatch your first diamond.

[Ashannar]

I seriously don't know how people get diamond badges. My first diamond is probably going to be from getting uniques..

Build all basic assemblies (#1: Technician). Enter Babel with plenty of Invulnerability duration left (#2: Gatekeeper). Clear Unholy Cathedral (#3: Longinus). Complete Angel of Overconfidence (#4: Daredevil; I recommend cheesing it with a Dual Angel AoB/AoOC). Complete Angel of 100 (#5: Centurial). Clear the Vaults (#6: Scavenger).

Other viable targets are "Complete the Mortuary" (Reaper) and "Complete AoMC on HMP+ with the Untouchable Badge" (Destroyer).

I'm tempted to say it's harder to get the 15 silvers than the six golds.

With you on that one... :S

[dtsund]

Enter Babel with plenty of Invulnerability duration left (#2: Gatekeeper).

Alternately, do Babel as Fireangel; it's pretty easy to defeat the Cyberdemon without taking damage with that trait.

Assemblies. Getting Diamond from uniques means collecting three Berserker Armors.

[SageAcrin]

Means three Dragonslayers, too.

Berserker Armor, at least anyone can pick up.

To be honest, I have the same progress on Armorer Gold as I do Technician Diamond(I'm one item from both). Armorer Diamond is a pill.

Also, hope you can pull off the reqs for Azrael's Scythe three times. :)
