If that's in the game along with gun kata, programmer must be a huge Equilibrium fan. :D

Sorry, playing a shotgunner now
What the-?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Forget what this guys say!
Shotgunners aren't that bad.
You just have to put of shotty until later.
O.o
I can't believe I've won!
With such a humongurous amounts of uniques also.
but  :'( 3 of them were destroyed before I even got to see what they were...

Also what's with the power cells? I was saving them until later, but hey, I got there hmm 2 rockets ok, WHERE IS MY BFG?!?
Also the baretta is a VERY good weapon. I mean it. It's better than anything I've got. Rocket launcher has got the valuable knockback, but this thing is very versatile.
Also the game was going mediocre the whole time, but level after level I got overcharge globes.
I'm such a badass. Thanks to that perk. In fact my inventory space was cluttered with useless med-packs and power cells. A couple of times it was close. And there was a time when I got horribly low on ammo. But hey, a win's a win!

TIP of the DAY: ALWAYS put agility upgrade into your boots.

EDIT: So. CLOSE!

Congrats on your win.

Just to let you know, you can find a free BFG inside the special level "Halls of Carnage". It's the one with a bunch of free supercharge globes inside. In it, you have to get across some walls, kill some monsters, and in the center of a ring of walls is a BFG. Becareful though, when you pick up the BFG, you automatically equip it for whatever reason. TIP: Shoot down the door, DON'T BLOW IT UP!

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

I used a build recommended by the guide, but I added in a single Eagle Eye to compensate for the pistols' tendency to miss quite often. Worked wonderfully.

So here's the story, with my two power modded pistols, I descend into hell, making mincemeat out of all the barons and knights with my camping method, and the only creatures that gave me trouble were arachnotrons and commandos, if only because they were more apt to catch me unawares.

Throughout my journey, I was lucky enough to find 2 thermies and 3 homing phase devices. On hell level 6 (level 21, basically), I find an invulnerabilty globe right next to the stairs, so I work it out in my head, and I grab the globe, head downstairs, and then use my homing phase devices one after the other to skip levels 7-9 and get to the phobos arena with my invulnerabilty intact. I nuke him handily, and with no more homing phase devices, I'm forced to walk to the exit (all the way across the room) which removes my invulnerability, and I get to JC's lair... I know for a fact that I'm not going to defeat JC with just pistols, not like this, so I just activate my other thermie and blow his ass to kingdom come with me! It's always nice to kill JC, even if I have to go out in a blaze of glory to do it.

Vampyre build, which helped.

Believe it or not, this is my first AoB run. There were alot of chances that I could have died, but chose to hightail it out of the level and just run down as fast as possible. For example, I assaulted the Unholy Cathedral, but I must need more practice, because the berserk status that I needed to kill him ran out mid-fight, and I was forced to retreat with a homing phase device, as he was doing WAY too much damage.

It was GREAT luck to find the Butcher's Cleaver early on, which helped alot. Am I imagining things, or is it special for the BC to give you the message "Next!" whenever you kill an enemy?

Some special highlights: In one of the hell levels, I found an invincibility globe and then bumrushed a group of 2 archviles and 3 revenants, which I then brutalized in my implacable fury. Also, similarly, I found an Invulnerability globe and headed down into the Mortuary, and then proceeded to kill as much as humanly possible, but the Archviles were running away too fast, and the hordes kept growing and growing, and my invulnerability ran out, so I used a homing phase device and got out of there!

Fighting Cybie toe-to-toe is a bit tougher than the usual method, but I had stockpiled so many large med packs that his defeat was inevitable. What's next?

I need to unlock it first, just need one more bronze badge to get to sergeant major. I hate unlockables, but the general quality of the game makes up for it.

The BC basically gives you free access to the Blademaster trait, so that's what the message you're getting is about.

YEEHAWWW!

So I looked at the list of available challenges, thinking to myself "Which one should be the one to get me to Sergeant Major?" and I chose Angel of Haste, looked easy enough.

It wasn't, I died twice. Very stupidly at that, but third tries the charm, and I nuke the HELL out of the Cyberdemon, killing myself in the process.

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

There's apparently only 12 levels, but the difficulty escalates crazy fast, which my two deaths taught me. So, to compensate, I found I needed to meticulously kill every enemy for exp and collect any and every item that may have an foreseeable use.

I arrived at Cybie somewhat weaker than I'm used to, and felt a bit unconfident in my combat abilities. Fortunately for me though, I had a best friend, a friend named THERMONUCLEAR BOMB!

I don't know what it is, but there's is something INNATELY HILARIOUS with hugging a thermonuclear bomb as it explodes and completely atomizes you and your enemies. This is the first time I've sacrificed my life to kill Cybie, and it felt oh-so-good. I like to imagine my character with a lit cigar and a giant grin as that bomb hits zero.

What's also funny, is that once I saw my score in the scoreboard, this game had the lowest score of all my games. Though I like the little message "Won by sacrifice", it pleases me greatly.

Now I'm of the Sergeant Major rank, and I have everything in the game unlocked. What next? Probably Ao100.

 Before him 18 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 7 of those were killed.
 And 1 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
 Is he immortal? 10 souls claim to have killed him...
 1 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
 5 killed the bastard and survived.
 4 showed that it can outsmart hell itself.

So, after just becoming a Sergeant Major, I thought I'd try out one of the new challenge modes and just have fun with Ammochain. After gaining a whole new respect for my shotgun, I get ammochain, mod out my new plasma gun, and then go to town on everything.

I had the fortune of finding 2 homing phase devices (items I like to hoard more than any other), I found a Thermie on hell level 8 along with an invulnerability globe right next to the stairs. Destiny was DEMANDING that I kill JC again, a request that I'm happy to oblige.

Needless to say, I take the orb, head down, zip to the next exit with my HPD, and then nuke Cybie.

I then discover that homing phase devices don't work in the phobos arena, but I head down to JC's lair regardless.

Armed with one modded out BFG, and a less impressive second BFG I got from the Mortuary, I wait for JC to summon barons, then fire into the dark, hoping that it'll hit one in the crowd. It sure does, and EXPLOSIONS! I rinse and repeat and JC never gets a shot off. I got lucky though, I was nearly out of cells!

THIRD Full Win!

Also, is it just me, or does the BFG work MUCH MUCH better against groups of enemies than it does against solitary ones?

The BFG-type explosions turns any items on the ground into smaller explosions, INCLUDING corpses and items that enemies drop.

So say you fire that there BFG into say... 24 barons of hell. The first few shots will only damage them, but the real damage will come once there are a few corpses/items to bomb.

Let's say you drop half of them and you're down to your last shot.

12 corpses = 12 explosions + Plasma's 50% armor piercing + AoMC Full damage ability = owie.

Actually, since a BFG will deal 80 damage on AoMC, those Barons of hell should be going down in one shot. So JC must have summoned a second wave of them.

As far as I can tell, JC can summon infinite Barons. He can just summon wave after wave after wave, with no apparent limit.

Which, I suppose, is really good since BFG's are awesome that way, but it's very bad if I'm in a challenge that restricts their use.

So, I'm trying out an Ammochain build in ITYTD, just to see what its like, and so far I've gotten an advanced combat shotty on lvl 2, and just picked up an advanced shotty. No uniques yet, though I'm betting on Pancor, Assault, and Plasma shotgun.

Ustxu Iceraped the Frigid Crystal of Slaughter was a glacier titan. It was the only one of its kind. A gigantic feathered carp composed of crystal glass. It has five mouths full of treacherous teeth, enormous clear wings, and ferocious blue eyes. Beware its icy breath! Ustxu was associated with oceans, glaciers, boats, and murder.
