1 nuke found 2 levels before the Cyberdemon.
1 invulnerability orb found at only a dozen of tile from the stair (that was incredibly lucky)
I immediately activated the nuke once i was in the Cyberdemon level, then run toward the middle
when nuke activated and annihilated both the level and the Cyberdemon, i continue to run toward the secret stair.
Once at Hell Fortress secret level, i activate one of my phase device that teleported me nearly in front of John Carmack, meaning that i was able to fight while my invulnerability was always on, oh joy of something that i never was able to do before.
Thanks to my "power modded" plasma rifle with the chaingun ability that gave infinite ammo (i could have used my nuclear plasma rifle alternate shot to activate a 2nd nuke, but prefered to see if my best weapon could take Carmack) i managed to bring down the source of all evil
But he took a lot of punishment before going down, as i never fought him before i was surprised to see how resistant the thing was (my modded plasma rifle was tearing nearly everything in the last half of the game).
The 2 only times i managed to trigger the secret level in the previous version, the tons of Baron of Hell summoned by the secret boss when you're far from him always overwhelmed me as he summons them quicker than i killed them.
The phase device definitively helped, as being able to attack him quickly after spawning in Hell Fortress, he didn't try to summon anything.
During this run i found a medical armor, something i never found before, it heals you up to 20 health when you're under 20 hit points and nearly dead. A nice addition to my collection.

-- General ---------------------------------------------------
Before him 352 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
281 of those were killed.
1 of those was killed by something unknown.
5 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
And 57 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.
Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
Is he immortal? 8 souls claim to have killed him...
2 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
5 killed the bastard and survived.
1 showed that it can outsmart hell itself.
