To make the stair diving most efficient to clear the additional 566 levels of grind as fast as possible you will need to pick a Scout for your class, playing a Marine or Technician will just needlessly cost you hours of additional time in your stair diving and make this so much grindier. | This challenge is just [[Angel of 100]] on steroids, where instead of the game ending after 100 floors you'll now have 566 more on top of that.

This challenge is just Angel of 100 on steroids, where instead of the game ending after 100 floors you'll now have 566 more on top of that. It still pretty much plays the same way so the information found in the strategy page for Angel of 100 is fully applicable here, the main difference being that unless you're someone who doesn't value their time at all and actually finds enjoyment from continuing the same DoomRL run for 566 more floors, you are going to start stair diving at some point. To make the stair diving most efficient to clear the additional 566 levels of grind as fast as possible you will need to pick a Scout for your class, playing a Marine or Technician will just needlessly cost you hours of additional time in your stair diving and make this so much grindier.
For some additional notes, the danger level used for level generation does stop rising after dlevel 100, so from that point forward there will be nothing new and levels cannot get anymore dangerous. If you want the Experience Cross, this will be one of the only three realistic ways you can reach the max level of 25 to obtain it. This will additionally be the easiest way of the three methods to obtain it, as the other two require either playing Angel of 100 on Nightmare difficulty or combining Angel of Darkness with Angel of 100 in a Dual-Angel challenge. Then for the final note the Apostle does still spawn here on the final floor if you reach it with the Dragonslayer and Berserker Armor equipped. So if you want to kill him for the Apostle Insignia or for whatever reason, this will be the closest way you can guarantee it happening in a run without save scumming, as it still requires a lot of luck in Angel of 100, and an extreme amount of luck in the normal game whether you're relying on random drops or actually try for the guaranteed drops on Nightmare. As it is, each Unique can only spawn once in a game, so besides there being 565 more floors for the Dragonslayer and Berserker Armor to spawn in, other Uniques will be gradually taken out of the item generation pool as they spawn, gradually increasing the chances of you finding the DS and BA as you go on. If you're trying to do this and are stair diving, just pay attention to the level feeling at the start of each dlevel as it will notify you if a Unique has been spawned. If nothing, you can just head straight for the stairs, and if there is you can just seek it out, pick it up to take it out of the item generation pool, and keep going until you find the DS and BA. You can also run a few Ao666 games doing this to build your overall Unique collection for the Armorer badges, where the gold badge requires finding all Exotics and Uniques, the platinum badge requires obtaining 1000 cumulative Exotics and Uniques total on your file, and the diamond badge requires you obtaining 3 of each Exotic and Unique on your file. There are 26 Uniques total, so you're essentially guaranteed to come across them all in 666 floors, so speedrunning a few Ao666 runs will be the fastest way to obtain all the Armorer badges and probably the easiest diamond badge.
