Doom - E4M9: Fear (Nightmare! 100% Secrets + Items)

[@doomy_valley]

2:58 this guy actually wasn't too far away from providing us with some extra footage.

[@ericsbuds]

lmao! dodged a bullet that time... wait...

[@Danda1374]

2:50

[@UCm0i6w5lBlRthCtZEoj99tg]

1:46 to see a lost soul do a really cool moonwalk (decino doesn't care he walks right past it while getting styled on)

[@TritonTv69420]

I can't help but think that doom is the smoothest playing game i have ever played. Every time i play the doom1 or doom2 wads its so enjoyable how predictable movement and stuff is.

[@TritonTv69420]

Can't say the same for halo infinite.... cough cough**** Bugs, glitches, servers kicking you from matches randomly, hits not registering, items not working or spawning where they should. Haha.

[@RAFFIZUMZ]

You never had to play Saturn doom back in the day

[@DinnerForkTongue]

Not even kidding. It's just about a perfect mix and match.

[@tharqal2764]

It wasn't exactly the experience back in the day if you weren't rich and had to play it on a 486 SX or even a 386. You had to either make the rendering window really small, or it ran at like 15 FPS. But it polished up very nicely once people got better hardware.

[@michaelandreipalon359]

​@@TritonTv69420The fault of rabid fans who just had to want more games post-Reach.

[@zat227]

You got very lucky at the end there, the shotgunner at 2:48 missed you twice.

[@AlexeiVoronin]

An Episode 4 map that looks and feels like an Episode 1 map... sure, why not. The first Tim Willits map we've encountered so far, and it's a pretty good debut. The weird bit of trivia for today is that a screenshot of a door from this level is used as the background image for two mini-games in the later Dooms - "Super Turbo Turkey Puncher 3" and "Demon Destruction."

[@mati25110]

It probably has to do with the texture designs.

[@reptongeek]

Time Well Spent

[@darkowl9]

It's a _little_ bit more Doom 2-ish, visually, with the thin plasma ledge at the silver poles which weren't really done so much in the original episodes. Play-wise definitely more Doom 1, I agree.

[@x1teDota]

Nice run. I wonder if you would have died if those 2 bullets at 2:50 hit you.

[@LordofSadFac]

I noticed that too, twice he was about to die but RNG decided to give him a chance.

[@simonlemerveilleuxdelisle3779]

I said it and I'm saying it again. This nightmare/100% item concept brings a new perspective to the game and its levels. I never cared about this map before. But Decino made it look fun and intense with this run. So refreshing, its like re-discovering Doom again.

[@TheKalZul]

Clean run, good sir. Interesting what you're going to do about the bugged secrets coming up!

[@decino]

Nothing lmao.

[@TheKalZul]

@@decino I appriciate your candour.

[@SilverSpireZ]

I actually really like this map. Probably my favorite E4 map alongside E4M8. As much of a mixed bag as Thy Flesh Consumed is, there’s thankfully a few maps that are worth playing to me.

[@TheIronAxe5888]

This is the first map in doom I get an eternal feel from. No hiding no slaughter just great enemy choice and placement to force progression.

[@amphimixis]

Love playing this map. I'm surprised you were spared from by the RNG gods at 2:51 and 2:53, you can see the bullets hitting the wall just pixels from your hitbox. Personally I think Nightmare is how Doom & Doom II is intended to play. The game is so easy without fast respawning monsters, so Nightmare answers the question "Why did UAC fall to the demons in the first place?"

[@Fuchsia_tude]

Nah, not intended. iD originally added Nightmare as a prank in an early patch because some people complained the game was too easy in Ultra-Violence; they were like "oh yeah?" If it was intended, it would have shipped in 1.00. People have just gotten much, much better at FPSs, and Doom specifically, since 1993.

[@OmegaTyrant]

Even with just fast monsters this map gets tough, you were so smooth at getting the Mega Armor at the start, whereas I would keep falling off and taking huge damage or dying when I tried to grab it immediately with fast monsters around.

[@Nob1ej0n]

1:27 "Items nobody knows about." That made me feel pretty good since I just did a 100% items run a couple months ago and I did know about them, and the rocket launcher. Not a big fan of this map though. It's tough at the start, but it's small, symmetrical, and not very rewarding.

[@francescoperi7810]

It's funny how Nightmare is really coming into its own as a legitimate dimension of Doom only 30 years down the line. Talk about longevity!

[@hiramesensei3112]

really would like to see more mappers taking advantage of Nightmare mode features and building maps around it (in a manner that's a but more... accessible, than NERF)

[@decino]

NERF is pretty accessible!

[@mati25110]

always reminded me of Attack in the Master Levels, because of the symmetrical(ish) design.

[@williamsmith666]

Same designer.

[@Greggo24]

It’s amazing to see doom being played right,it is satisfying to see. Good job Decino keep it up :)!

[@merginator]

Well done! That final shotgunner made me clench my butt. I thought he was gonna get ya.

[@eldandraken4850]

Never got to this level, and i'm happy about it. geez louise!

[@victoriqueMoe]

I love it when you say "oh god" i slow it down to 0.5x and it makes me heart race. hope that isn't creepy

[@Olek54321]

Hot start in this map. You got hit for the first time after nearly 20 seconds, amazing :D

[@XzMondayNightzX]

Despite this level having an underwhelming aesthetic and design, the hot start feels and plays good especially on fast mcdudes / nightmare. It feels like an E1 map with a few cacos and barons.

[@Nidair]

I never owned Ultimate Doom so I've never seen this level. Now I see where Alien Vendetta map 32 got its inspiration from.

[@chaosvolt]

E1M9: "Finally! A worthy opponent! Our battle will be legendary!" And yet to my utter astonishment, the only secret level to give Military Base a run for its money has no outttakes. Damn. XD

[@georgeheilman885]

I remembered the rocket launcher in the pit and that there were items, just not the exact amount. But hey, shotgunning a baron, best strat ever!

[@dantheman2888]

Great video ♡

[@PanterD2S]

Everytime I see u play Episode 4 NM I think "didn't this somehow go much faster? like 10s or sth?" And then I remember "ah its 100% secrets and items" :D

[@playpro2350]

O my god... It's a very good! 👍

[@andval256]

This guy is calm, I would *bip* half the audio in nightmare mode.

[@TheBrassDancer]

What a hectic ride! Awesome map.

[@fellow_doomer]

such an epic way to end an episode!

[@CalavErik]

Damn, you beat Fear really fast, and didn't ever use the slowmo!

[@estebanrc256]

Pumpkin man video = Happy lunch

[@fuzzix]

Ha, madness! Nice work.

[@СергейМисюк-ж1к]

(in Glenn Danzig's voice) Hellish monsters up ahead. If the things is too hectic, you're playing with Heck! (End of Glenn Danzig's voice) (Under no circumstances text below should be taken seriously) So, fear, huh? Well, let's see... Hostile soldiers that looks identically? Check. Fast main character? Check. Otherworldly creatures as hostiles? Check. Ability to boost your combat performance with particular kind of item? Check. One of the best shotguns in game history? Well, kind of (I used cheats to get SSG in D1 while playing under GZDoom). So I guess, yes, this game do have something in common with F.E.A.R. (End of non-serious stuff)

[@sandmanxo]

While I'm sure I've played this map I really don't remember it. Looks fun and I look forward to playing through it soon myself.

[@Spectans1]

There was probably a milisecond between you and a really painful death at 2:59. Anyway, I didnt even know this level existed when I was a kid.

[@lukebehrendsbro.]

Nice job beating this! At least it's a fun map to play. I don't get why the Backpack is at the end, but eh. I still love it regardless. 😊

[@Zikar]

I don't think E4M1 and E4M2 have a backpack so if you're not pistol starting you can take this into E4M3. Though that does have a backpack itself so it's not much of an extra.

[@lukebehrendsbro.]

@@Zikar That's, not what I mean. I meant why is the Backpack at the end of this map that alot of people are Pistol Starting so therefore the Backpack is kinda useless to be having around. Oh well, it is for some people that doesn't do Pistol Start in a way. 🤔

[@chriswilliams1775]

@@lukebehrendsbro. When this map was designed, making levels balanced for pistol start wasn't as prevalent as it is now. There's a pretty good handful of classic maps that have stuff like weapons, armor, powerups, etc. tucked at the end because it would give continuous players a leg up in the next map. E3M1's ending secret comes to mind.

[@lukebehrendsbro.]

@@chriswilliams1775 Alright thanks for the reply. TBH I do prefer having all stuff with me from each map instead of Pistol Starting one after another cause of 1993 way of playing this.

[@Zikar]

@@lukebehrendsbro. As Chris said, the original games weren't designed with pistol starts in mind, you were meant to play each episode start to finish.

[@CamDeElite]

I was curious watching this if you'd take advantage of the perfect positioning at the start to run backward through the bars to get the plasma early without a jump, but I guess the megaarmor, etc, too juicy to hold off on getting. Very good and spicy run.

[@GeneralPotatoSalad]

"Or I can punch him." (Unloads shotgun into baron's torso.) I like your ideas about unarmed combat, sir.

[@DinnerForkTongue]

Interesting how Nightmare gives the shrimpiest of maps a much needed buff in gameplay. I enjoyed the chaos in this one.

[@ChefSalad]

You should do an analysis video on the differences between Nightmare's respawning monsters and the Arch-Vile's resurrected monsters. Things like where the monsters respawn, timing, what happens to corpses, etc. It'd be neat.

[@decino]

Already did, sort of.

[@Somerandomguy2998]

Thank you

[@rankoinazuma6788]

Fear, that's what all monsters feel when Doomguy appears

[@lemonl80]

generally speaking, this seems like a fun map to actually speed through but it just ends up being just a jog through a long hallway. this could've been a more entertainingly aggressive map for my palette if made by different hands. i'm glad this seems fun to do on nightmare difficulty.

[@rilluma]

0:24 sounded like a tasty megaarmor :P

Wait... How the hell you get through episode 4 this fast when you just started?

[@michaelandreipalon359]

Refreshing, no deaths. Granted, the forces of Hell didn't have an Alma Wade on standby. Here's a bit of trivia pertaining to this expansion: Though TFC's release (before it became one single whole with the previous three Episodes via The Ultimate Doom) is admittedly wrought as a free patch, a gaming magazine, whose name eludes me, deemed it as a cash grab that felt exploitative enough to lure unwitting players on getting it for an unfair experience, not unlike how Spear of Destiny did for Wolfenstein 3D.

[@bosco4533]

Me watching Decino play nightmare - man, this looks like the way to play the game!!! Reality - 😢

[@neu8966]

I think for E4M3 you should trigger the all-ghosts effect to tag all the secrets ;)

[@misharatkevich9808]

@@neu8966 I _absolutely_ would, but stacking the corpses would be insane, and besides... decino himself stated it doesn't truly count when he made the video on the all-ghosts bug. So even if decino wanted to go through such trouble, I think _he_ still wouldn't count it as "proper 100% secrets" regardless.

Makes me wonder if this is the least played level in Classic Doom Think about it, not everyone who played Doom: • Played the secret levels • Played the full version instead of the shareware version • Also played Thy Flesh Consumed • Welcomed people to their 100% playthrough of Doom on the Nightmare difficulty + 100% the items
