No EE... And no Agility on Plasma rifle...

Something went horribly wrong here.

No EE... And no Agility on Plasma rifle...

Something went horribly wrong here.

Yeah, I know I did that wrong, but I was too lazy to fix it/I didn't think it needed fixing since things were dying quite easily already. What happened was I was getting so many technical and power mods and nothing better to use them on so I used them on my Plasma Rifle. By the time I started getting agility mods I needed them to help the severe speed penalty from the Gothic Armor. Plus, my Plasma Rifle was already full on mods and I didn't want to start over again with another Plasma Rifle.

Edit: Also, I FREAKING HATE DEMONS. Why? Because every time I start an HMP Ao100 game they're ALWAYS nearby and I can never kill them with my freaking pistol I start out with.

Edit2: Also, the RNG really wants me to be a melee class, this is the third time it spawned Butcher's Cleaver on early (1-3) levels.

[Dorten]

Don't like Butcher's Cleaver? Don't want it to be generated? Just start the AoB run, and it will not show!

[Tarran]

Why am I dying to Mancubi so much? This is the fourth time in a row that one of my "good" HMP Ao100 runs have been ended by them.

I think I'm going to do non-Ao100 runs now. Hopefully I won't die to a Mancubus over and over.

I just earned an "Eagerness Bronze Badge" after dying on level 14 from some stupid death due to me not noticing i was low on health while engaging 2 cacodemons.
But i am wondering, considering in such an Impatience run you can't carry any activable items (medic kits, phase devices and i guess nuke) as you automatically activate them when you grab them.

How can you kill the *spoiler* then ?

I killed it in non-challenge run (though in the lowest level of difficulty) , the 1st time by rocket launcher and the 2nd time by missile launcher (nice exotic, loved it).
But those 2 successes had me forced each time to use a phase device to teleport away, as every time my health was going low and my armor nearly destroyed, once away i could then restore my health with medic kits, switch to another armor, reload my weapons and put an end to the *spoiler* without dying quickly from his shots.

Usually, i try to use the pillars, but the problem is that even when i manage to dodge them, *spoiler* missiles destroy those pillars, and the *spoiler* does not stop advancing on you (and i noticed that he was never knocked back by my own missiles), so in the end, with the need of reloading, the *spoiler* at some point is going to be near my character (as he can take a lot of hit) so i can't use anymore my rockets (as i would kill myself) and so am forced to teleport away.

But in an Impatience run, you don't have any medic kit or phase device in your inventory, and considering the minimum difficulty level is the 2nd one, the *spoiler* has then more health to resist.
If by some insane luck i manage one day to get to that level on the Impatience challenge, is there some specific build and traits i should aim before anything else to before facing the monster ?

[Dorten]

Hae you concidered BFGing him while he is still outside your field of vision?

As discussed previously, Hellrunner + agility mods would work - I'm pretty sure that with modded boots and two ranks in Hellrunner you can run fast enough to pillar-dance Cybie until he's dead. And that's with armour.

[Robsoie]

Thanks for the suggestions, i will keep them in mind if by some miracle i manage to reach the last level on an Impatience run.

One question on impatience runs: Can you pick up nuclear weapons without forcing them to activate their nuke ability?

[3]

The wiki suggests that you can:

All Med-kits, Phase Devices, Envirosuits and Mods are used on pickup, like Powerups.

[Robsoie]

I noticed a nuke during my Impatience run, but i didn't picked it up as i was unsure it would not activate automatically, like every other activable pickup during such challenge.
Would sure make the ending easier if it does not automatically activate.

[Tarran]

You can't pick up a nuke without activating it on AoI runs. At least, based on this post on their forums. Though it was posted the day right after 0.9.9.1 was posted so it could've been an older version.

[Robsoie]

There's at least a "nuke" that you can carry around in Impatience : the nuclear plasma rifle.

Found one in another attempt at that challenge, overcharged it in next to 2 arachnotrons that my poor health would certainly not allow me to destroy, and it nuked the whole level.

Problem is that you will not find such nice nuke backup in every games.

Also, Nuclear BFG 9000 and Trigun.

Picking up a nuke in AoI activates it. It gives some funny messages too.  Somebody posted it a couple of pages back.
