I took 2000 pain one time. lemme see if I can dig it up.
Nope. It might be on bay12, but imageshack is on some kind of weirdness?
Obviously its a challenge so some kinda jury rigged vehicle shouldnt be included. maybe it should be upped to a whole day for it to be a god mode challenge.
without vehicles it will be much harder, most easy way is cbm + completing power challenge but even with cloak and mask it will be realy hard
Hmm, I’ve done at least 5 of the challenges and gained a threshhold (all but the last one on my current character, actually). I’d have to check to see if I’ve gotten to a million dollars yet… nope, just off by a factor of 10… heh, hadn’t counted the zeroes in a while. I’m at 5 on the combat styles from books with this character…
What do you need for documentation? Considering my playstyle (and God of Blades already being taken), I’d take Deoxy, God of Lasers.
Just give screenshots showing you’ve completed the challenges and milestones. I dunno, look at what I did to achieve godhood.
Screenshots for 5 challenges and 1 milestone taken. I’ll post them all when I get another milestone… probably the $1million, but I might make a mobile fortress instead. Goodness knows I’ve got enough upgraded solar panels, military composite, storage batteries, and fusion blaster CBMs (for lasers)…
Good luck mate
Firstly, how about this for a challenge? Kill… say 100(?) zombies, with at least 10-20 hulks, and no resting, with nothing but the counter attack from a rapier, or any weapon that can counter enemies.
As for the challenges I’ve done on my current survivor;
Kill shoggoth unarmed; Strength 17 due to mutations and bionic, but no hydraulic muscles used. Carried an artifact that gave +4 strength. Centipede kung-fu didn’t attack fast enough, ninjutsu didn’t do enough damage, but boxing and a storm of uppercuts did the job.
Kill zombie hulk while naked using money bundle. Used up three money bundles since each hit damaged the money. Didn’t use the strength boosting artifact for this one, but did use ninjutsu. Whacks did a little below 20 damage, but surprise attacks went up to 100 a hit. Tried again with no unarmed style. Crits still did enough damage to quickly dispatch the hulk. It never got the chance to grab me. This seems roughly easy, and I suggest using a harder item to yield… like a zombie dog corpse. Once killed a fungal… tower? One of the big fungals using a fungaloid.
Kill tank drone without using invisibility, smoke, darkness, or Time Dilation. The tank drone must see you. Posted about this a while back… it was done with either the H&K G3, or the FN FAL. Basically I used .308 ammo. Anyway, I saw the tank drone, took a few steps until it saw my survivor, then I began shooting. It got destroyed before it reached 30 tiles toward me to attack. Hail .308 ammo and their practicality compared to .50 ammo and .700 NX.
Clear at least 10 levels of slime pit. Posted about it, and it was done twice… though first didn’t count since I used short teleport to flame all z-levels at the same time. That was basically a test run. Second one used no teleport tricks, one level burning at a time. Burned the forest on the ground level of the slime put just to be sure. This was more tedious waiting than anything, after killing all the blobs above ground.
Kill a thriller then the hulks. Posted about it. This time I used a M27 IAR, with a .308 conversion kit. Hulks almost reached my firing zone. With the magazine mods, the IAR had 70+ ammo capacity plus the spare magazine. Basically, precise shot followed by normal shots. No recoil problems by that point, steadiness was high after precise aim.
Kill a zombie dancer. Done with time dilation, since it wasn’t stated that that bionic can’t be used. Posted about it. This one was odd because it was a lone dancer in a small horde out in an open field. Perhaps related to the thriller I killed, as when the dancers turned to hulks, I noticed that there were a few dancers still around.
Empty an entire barrel of whiskey. Didn’t do it in one go, of course, though I think that’s possible if you have lots of food to combat dehydration, and use blood filter and leukocyte breeder often.
Didn’t eat a hulk… but does eating a tank drone count?
Wear enough stuff to get at least 1,000 storage. 1.4k with packmule. Do this all the time due to the set up of my base: two wheelbarrows using stabilized portals. Haul items off vehicle into wheelbarrow A, while wearing all the storage clothing and not carrying anything else. Stand beside the stairs down, pick up as many items that can be carried using advanced inventory manager, go down then transfer the items to wheelbarrow B, repeat until wheelbarrow A is empty.
As for milestones;
Fey threshold reached.
All seven combat styles? From books, I learned krav maga, medieval swordsmanship, niten, fencing, ninjutsu, karate, judo, aikido, tai chi, boxing, and taekwondo. The only martial arts I had from a trait is centipede kung-fu.
On collecting the fancy clothing; got a top hat, french maid outfit and hat, monocle, wedding dress and veil, suit and tux, heels, evening gown, and heels. Also have all the wearable jewelry, and of course, the red jeans and leather jacket plus white glove from the thriller.
So yeah, I just realized I need to post sceenshots, so here it goes again, redoing challenges and screencapping them so my lovely elf-a can enter the pantheon.
J-9:
First things first, the J9, while naked.
While the nakedness is for an extra challenge, I balanced it out by using one CBM for one time only: the shockwave generator, to create some space so my naked character doesn’t fall immediately.
Err, don’t mind those other corpses. Made a mistake and forgot to turn off electroshock unit, so I spawned another J9. Anyways, one use of shockwave generator, and the fight is on!
There were a few hits against my survivor, but for most part she dodged the attacks and carefully went and attacked the jabberwocks one at a time. Also realized halfway that she was using fencing, not boxing for her punching style, but at that point I was like, sure why not? and kept at it.
After patching my survivor up with bandages, it was time to kill a hulk with a money bundle!
Took an hour or so in-game to go to the basement of an office tower, since I guessed that there’d be at least one hulk down there. There was, so first I shot up some corrosive zombies down there, because fighting the hulk naked with money won’t be wise if there are acid spitters hitting the naked bod of my survivors.
So nude, wielding money bundle and using no style. And heavy duty flashlight lit up so the hulk knows I’m killing it.
Destroyed three money bundles and severely damaged the fourth one to kill the hulk. It didn’t manage to hit me at all. sigh Such a waste of money bundles I’ve been collecting.
Next thing I reckoned to do was kill a shocker brute unarmed without protection from electricity.
Took a while of wandering around the area above the place where I killed the hulk until I found my target, so I thought, hey let’s just do this naked as well!
(I was gonna do it full nude, but the shocker zapped me already so I was forced to just drop the essentials and leave the bling on and start the fight.)
Well, it’s not so bad, I suppose. Punched it do death while most of the damage to my survivor was from getting shocked.
For the fourth challenge, I reckoned it was shoggoth time. I had a pet shoggoth at my base, but since it’s kinda my pet, I left it alone and went to a rather nearby lab on the northeast, remembering that there was a shoggoth there.
Just to stick to the theme I’ve been doing on the last four challenges, this was gonna be done naked. Boxing style though…
…I said boxing, but halfway I switched to no style as machismo from the nudity took over. This was mostly about being careful in attacks than worrying about a lack of protection, in the end. Like, since the shoggoth gets stunned, sometimes it’ll hobble to a tile away from the survivor. If not careful the survivor would then charge into an empty tile and waste a turn hitting nothing. Being in run mode helps in order to take less time moving and quickly continue to fist fight.
For the fifth challenge… well, before that, here’s some of my old posts of the same character talking about things that could count as challenges, if that can be counted:
The dancer and the thriller:
First of, not exactly a post here, but in the kill count I got one dead zombie dancer and one thriller. Is that enough to prove that I killed them? (dancer was killed via the help of time dilation, and using a chainsaw lajatang+ninjutsu). I got the thriller’s clothes, which I assume can’t be gotten without taking out the wall of hulks first.

And now it’s time for challenge number five. Wear enough stuff to get at least 1k storage, then fill it.
Easy as pie, really, since I do this sort of thing regularly when transporting items from ground level to my underground base.
As for the milestones:
Fey threshold:
Multiple martial arts:
Fancy stuff:
And that’s more or less it.
Nice! Let me get this straight… You did all this twice? You deserve godhood! Name and sphere, please!
[spoiler]For some of them, yeah. Stuff like the tank drone and thriller and dancer hasn’t been done on that second try on account of not encountering them while I was doing the screenshotted second try, though for tank drones that’s the current tactic of my survivor, since her rifles skill is already at 28. That skill could be higher if she didn’t have slow learner. She’s also forgetful with skill rust, though that’s neutralized by having enhanced memory banks at all times. The whiskey barrel wasn’t done on try number 2 since that took over the course of a year. Slime pit as well since I cleared out the two somewhat nearby pits, and I’m not in a hurry to clear another since that takes a course of at least one in-game week filled with waiting.
Basically the hulk challenge was done twice, and the shoggoth. First one without screenshots and the second one with. J-9 was done twice naked since the first time I forgot to turn off electroshock.[/spoiler]
Mr. Fancy (she’s female), Goddess of Violence, for turning the hordes she has encountered into gory smears in the road. It was that or Goddess of Storing Looted Items in Organized Containers.
Also, would it be possible to add a second character by me into the pantheon? Thinking of trying a speedrun in getting a survivor achieve godhood.
Hmmm. Thinking about my plan to speedrun the challenge for godhood. Would it count if, say, a challenge was completed posthumously? Like if the survivor were to die after reaching 2k pain, or he/she kills a chicken walker and the survivor dies in the explosion?
Here it is, finally - the vehicle part took a while (though I overdid it - I had hundreds of heavy frame and nearly 150 military composite left).

Day 23 of my speedrun challenge. 2 challenges down, 1 milestone almost done. I think I’m ready for three particular challenges I have in mind, and I reckon I can do the second milestone real fast if I find one particular thing.
Somewhat disappointed that I took so much time. Started aiming for challenges at day 18, and I reckoned I could have done this in day 8 at least if I didn’t spend so much time holed up in one place.
Congrats Azrad on reaching the Pantheon!
Deoxy, what is your name and sphere?
And no, I don’t think you can achieve godhood posthumously. The Pantheon is more like the League of Extraordinary Survivors and you kinda have to be alive to qualify.
Got it.
Anyways, second challenge for my speedrun done. Kill a fungal tower with no environmental protection. So I did.[spoiler]
The opening post didn’t state the method for killing the fungal. So I decided to do it naked for no environmental protection, save for a fanny pack for some modesty and a way to carry around some cigars. Got to take some puffs of a cigar while doing the killing for maximum swag.
Anyway, for a little bit of cunning, instead of setting the place ablaze first, or using guns or explosives, I simply used melee… of the awl pike’s reach attack, leaving my survivor spored but safe from direct hits. Like I said, opening post didn’t state what means of killing were to be used, so I’m assuming this is kosher. I’d like to think my survivor did this to be a little cunning while still exposing himself to risk by being naked.[/spoiler]
Bob, God of Cybernetics
Seems appropriate - getting CBMs is usually one of my earliest goals, and my favorite start is Broken Cyborg (which I then rehabilitate, of course).
Challenge number 3 done: Kill a zombie hulk by getting slammed through it.
This one was nuts, and my survivor almost died as you can see from the head wound. First had to lure out those hulks from a nearby town, then I had to position them perfectly for the smash, which was a freaking headache as the two were almost always next to each other.
I should have no problems with challenge 4 and 5, and I already got one milestone down… so it’s basically the search for the right items as fast as possible. Want this done before summer, and the season length is 30 days… so hoping that the RNG smiles upon me. Survivor’s just gonna wrap him up with bandages and chew on a couple of codeine. Gotta rush…
Also, like the previous challenges, my survivor enjoyed a cigar… it went out long before the hulk was dead, so I reckon a second one is in order as I get him butchering the corpses.
Oh this is derp.
Does the “kill a tank drone” challenge count if you bait it to follow you from behind cover? :V
If one user can have more than one survivor added to the pantheon, here is my second one. I wanted to try a speedrun of the challenge, and I think I managed that by finishing six challenges and two milestones in about 28 days. I’m somewhat disappointed as I could have probably shaved about 10 days or more if I decided to read up some skill books and get NPCs to teach me skills.
Going nomadic was probably the best choice as well. When I started the first challenge I had some sort of base going, but then afterwards I realized that having a place to go back to for resting would take far too much time, so I went and stuffed some key items on a wheelbarrow cargo carrier, and went exploring for the places I needed to go - which proved wise as it helped pave the way to fulfill two milestones.
So, here’s the challenges and milestones.
Kill a shocker brute unarmed and with no electric protection.
http://smf.cataclysmdda.com/index.php?topic=19.msg264893#msg264893
RNG really liked me on this one. The first projectile from the shocker left an open path to step out of, minimizing damage. Following projectiles somehow missed as all it took was a step in a safe spot to once again minimize any damage. Hands took a beating, but not broken, and at the time I barely had any unarmed skill (finished this speed run with only a 3 in unarmed, at 23% before reaching level 4.
Kill fungal tower with no environmental protection
[spoiler]I reckoned awl pikes were kosher. Managed to somehow avoid all the fungal things and only got mildly spored. I think I didn’t even needed to eat a royal jelly for this.
The opening post didn’t state the method for killing the fungal. So I decided to do it naked for no environmental protection, save for a fanny pack for some modesty and a way to carry around some cigars. Got to take some puffs of a cigar while doing the killing for maximum swag.

Kill a hulk by getting smashed by another hulk
By far the hardest of the challenges I set out to do. Luring the hulks out so I won’t be bothered by other zombies is one thing, positioning my survivor for the smash kill was a nightmare. The two were seemingly stuck next to each other at all times and it took a whole lot of luck to set it up properly. Almost died after, as you can see from the pain and head wounds.
At this point I went and cleared two milestones first, but here’s the other challenges I’ve done.
Reinforce a corpse.
Well, a relatively easy challenge after the previous three. Nothing much to say, though I wonder if a broken cyborg can be reinforced, and if that would count since at least the head is human. I debugged just now to see if an armored zombie is made of steel, but alas, they’re made of flesh.
Wear enough to get to 1k volume, and then carry 1k volume worth of items.
Again, nothing much to say. Prior to reinforcing, I had smashed some beds and whatnot, as well as carry a number of stuff in the cargo carrier wheelbarrow. I probably would have taken less work to just add in a corpse or two.
Also, both things were done while smoking a cigar. Just for fun, survivor started each challenge with a cigar. First two challenges were done before the cigar ran out.
Anyways, milestones!
Fancy!
[spoiler]
Not seen, but survivor is wielding a walking cane, and has a pocket watch in his inventory. Plus several diamonds and gold bars taken from security vans. Several of the clothing items was during a somewhat daring night raid on a mall. Suit and walking cane was found during the first or second night raid, and the monocle was found in a lab, as well as the wedding dress and veil. Seriously, it seems like labs are the only place to find them. Would’ve liked two monocles, one for each eye!
Ran into several labs, and only found one monocle. Main lab tactic for this run is just shoot everything up with a shotgun while avoiding turret rooms if possible. Aside from the clothing, I really only checked for mutagens. Alas, didn’t find enough serums, but I did have a backup plan.[/spoiler]
Martial arts!
RNG was being generous, as the first dojo had all the martial arts manuals available to the place (I think). Before that, fencing was found in a library or bookstore, while the niten and medieval style was found in mansions. Much to my surprise, the manual for krav maga spawned in a boxing gym, which seems to be a new thing. It spawning there, I mean.
I was kind of hoping to get a threshold for a second milestone instead, the main plan being letting the rat king mutate me then shooting up with a rat serum or two to complete the transformation. Alas, the rat king I left alive was way too far to finish this run under 30 days. In general I thought I should finish by 50 days, and I had more than enough time to get back to the cave, but I found the boxing gym and lo and behold it had a krav maga training manual.
And that’s it…
Oh no it ain’t!
Man vs. Shoggoth! Granted, this was with the aid of hydraulic muscles and injected some adrenaline as well, but in exchange he’s almost naked (wearing a fanny pack to hold a cigar, one of which is being used during the fight), as well as having low skills in general (melee is kinda decent at 6, unarmed is 3). Lockers were set up in such a way to prevent the shoggoth from running away or stepping on any nearby tiles so my survivor can wail on it in one spot, without which would probably made this impossible.
And that’s more or less it, really. Here’s a rundown on my survivor’s stats in the end:
[spoiler]
In general, I shouldn’t have bothered learning cooking. My survivor pretty much survived off cooked meat and clean water when it was needed, but for most part had a decent supply of raided food and drinks. Construction and fabrication was another, as both skills didn’t see any use at all - though with fabrications I was planning on letting a tank drone see and chase me to a road lined with loose caltrops. They can be killed with a few steps on caltrops, though that seems to be more of an oversight than anything.
Survival was another thing that I shouldn’t have bothered making my survivor read on a book. There’s a few more useless skills for this run, and not learning them at all would have shaved off a lot of time for this run, sadly.
One thing that learning first aid, electronics, and computers did help out on was attaching some bionics. That and several shots of atomic coffee and adderall, too. …saying that, the only ones that my survivor benefited from was synaptic accelerator, and for the shoggoth hydraulic muscles. Maybe telescopic eyes, but he did have binoculars on him. He carried around food, tools, and all sorts of stuff like the fancy clothing in this run. Haven’t really tried a nomadic playthrough, but it was fun, though I really enjoy having a base to call home.[/spoiler]
And that’s that. For reals.
