Achievements are the stepping stones on one's quest to become the greatest DoomRL player. At first it is quite possible to gain achievements without realizing it, but as time passes, more serious players will begin to seek out specific achievements they find either possible or desirable. They are split into three major categories:
- Ranks are titles that reflect the player's experience and ability in DoomRL.
- Badges are trophies that begin by granting you access to the entire game, then improve your rank to glorious heights.
- Medals are the "extra" achievements that, while less important than badges, still require a significant amount of effort to acquire.
Victories
DoomRL consists of descending floors, one by one, preparing for the final confrontation with the Spider Mastermind. If you manage to make it all the way to the Dis, there are actually a few options when it comes to winning the game. They are as follows:
- A partial victory is gained by using a thermonuclear bomb (or equivalent nuclear device) to destroy the Spider Mastermind, and you along with it. In terms of score, this isn't a very successful victory, but in nearly all cases, it'll award the same badges and medals that a standard victory would, making it functionally 99% the same.
- A standard victory is gained by killing the Mastermind by conventional means. This gets you normal points for your score.
- A full victory requires you to nuke Dis and survive it by means of invulnerability. Then, descend into the Hell Fortress and encounter the true evil there. As it stands, there are two technical ways to finish a game via while in the Hell Fortress:
- If you die to the true evil or its minions, or you nuke it and die along with it, you are granted a partial victory and will still obtain any badges/medals that require any sort of victory, but will not earn any that require a full victory.
- If you kill the true evil by conventional means, or by nuking and surviving the explosion, you are granted a full victory along with any badges and medals that require it.
Winning the Angel of 100 and Archangel of 666 challenges has different ending text, but normally just count as a standard victory. However, if you fulfill the secret conditions to encounter the Apostle on the final floor and manage to exit the final floor alive after killing it, you'll be given another different ending text and be awarded a full victory.
