Doom II - Forgotten Reliquary (Blind Ultra-Violence 100%)

[@anfractu0us]

Thanks so much for playin' through my map, very glad you enjoyed it!! I'll provide some real commentary later tonight, just really wanted to say that the final fight is NOT supposed to be that bonkers!! 🤣🤣As I worked to fix the boom issues, I split into two different version of the map - the meat tubes at the end were working in one, broken in another and I didn't notice it till the day of submission pretty much. Frantically, I spent a good bit of time merging, deleting, and copy/pasting that whole area. Needless to say, archviles and barons were duplicated, and instead of 3 cyberdemons, the original 6 spawn. 😰Whoops! :^P

[@decino]

Thanks for the submission! I did enjoy it a lot! Not only to play but also to explore and figure out in UDB how all the intricacies were done. I look forward to the rest of your comment(s), a map like this must've taken you ages and there's a lot to talk about I reckon.

[@Fusso]

Wait, you think that 3 is not also a little too much?! Also, sorry for your puppers.

[@ИванСнежков-з9й]

How is the sliding door done?

[@Thentavius]

Just wanna say, "One Who Bares Fangs At God" is excellent taste. Glad someone's keeping Xenogears' spirit alive.

[@SmokerFace12]

You are one saddistic F, I love it.

*MyHouse flashbacks*

[@yuzucrypt]

'wow i hope there isn't some horrible final fight with 6 cybers and 12 arch viles in a cramped room'. literally that happens XD

[@СергейМисюк-ж1к]

Holy moly, that is not Doomcute. That is Doomart. Made with great patience.

[@jamez6398]

I just like the bit whereby Decino stopped dead in his tracks for a minute because he was so utterly fascinated by the sliding door 😆

[@Kingdramana]

Yeah that was so cute

[@rix0r222]

I like how you said "I hope there's not like 12 cyber demons and archviles in a 5x5 room" and then you got pretty much that

[@IrishSteve6997]

Mate. This whole round of viewer submissions have been outstanding. Your popularity amongst the community has I believe, given mappers the incentive to up their game and it shows. Outstanding my friend. EPIC.

[@FrancisFjordCupola]

Doom level design is an art form and an art genre all on its own. With a wonderful community gathered around it.

[@ODMA2112]

"DOOM IS ART" - some guy called Ducino on the Tubes

[@sephiran973]

decino: I'll kill you. You are very menacing Cacodemon just standing there: 👁 👄

[@user-yv6xw7ns3o]

The Caco was struck dumb with fear of the wrathful pumpkin man 😮

[@dinitroacetylen]

I wonder if in real life when ducino sees a mud puddle, he asks if this is a damaging floor and steps into it.

[@karlk5801]

First he punches the air to see if any monsters wake up.

[@Veezyjung]

Just don't die lmao Joking aside, I really feel your pain. Dying after more than an hour into a level is painful.

[@brandonschwertley2723]

I love the way you approach blind runs now, it's so entertaining to watch, and it's nice to see you approach a problem without fully knowing all the ins and outs. It's nice to have some variety :)

[@XzMondayNightzX]

Local pumpkin without ammo begs for the location of Berserk via text. Viles goofin entire time and wasting ammo.

[@somniloquous0]

This map is incredible and this is possibly my favourite decino video ever.

[@refeals]

i dont always comment, but i have to say, this new style of not showing the map stats make the video much more interesting, glad this works!

[@himynameisben95]

This map gives 28-year-old me the same sense of wonder and discovery that 12-year-old me had when he first played Doom.

[@LordArrowny]

Just in case anyone was wondering, the MIDI is from Xenogears. It's called One Who Bares Fangs at God.

[@FeelingShred]

🙏

[@DinnerForkTongue]

Direct translation from Japanese, right? Adapted to English it'd be something like 'The Godspurner' or similar.

[@johnfenske7764]

thank you! i thought it had a mitsuda vibe, but I couldn't place it and wouldn't have been able to continue watching the video without figuring that out

[@flaviapunktexe]

Its so adorable to hear Decino begging for health and armor

[@DrWho-vc2go]

1:08:07 What was that you said earlier? You hoped the last fight wasn't a bunch of CyberDemons and ArchViles? be careful what you wish for!

[@Markworth]

Dude made an entire Quake 2 inspired hub in a single map. Loading zones are for the weak.

[@DinnerForkTongue]

Funny thing is, with ZDoom you can make a hub level system. Wonder if decino would accept one of those in his viewer submissions.

[@theoriginalzads]

You warned me, you said prepare for the feels, and there was absolutely nothing whatsoever that was going to prepare me for that. My heart goes out to the poor mapmaker.

[@Peltomies]

Imagine this with the extended hud on, it would have been a totally different video. What a beautiful example of the unlimited creativity and skills in the community! And great to read the explanations by the map maker.

[@KaedennYT]

"This map took three seconds to load" _looks at video length_ oh dear.

[@pehhii]

"Floating gore" should be a hardcore metal band somewhere.

[@nich3897]

This might legitimately be one of the bets maps I've ever seen in this channel holy shit

[@metaljay842]

So forgotten it's full of freaking arch-viles. This level reminds me of a Lost Civilization map with the aesthetics, the level of detail, and choice of music. The balance between risk and reward in this level is very well done.

[@DinnerForkTongue]

It's Lost Civilization, but wired on coffee brewed with Red Bull.

[@Vomarsk]

28:08 I appreciate that, even with a giant hole in the wall next to him, decino decided to take the few seconds to wait for the door to open xD

[@pechudin9086]

Loacal man spends more linedefs in the starting room than I do in my entire map. EDIT: 4 min in, this map looks like a mishmash that somehow works out. Reminds me of some of Fernito's maps (those who frequent Doomworld will know).

[@DinnerForkTongue]

Both Fernito and Toasty.

[@Olek54321]

Imagine one of the recent games load in 3 seconds :D Nobody would complain lmao "sweating like a pig" I thought only here in Poland we're saying that haha What a wonderful map with so much details! To me, it looks like there's no limit for creators even in such an old game like Doom. Every submission is a masterpiece!

[@Florian0799]

Man this map has an almost kafkaesque feeling to it. There is a big fight and then there is just another and another. Even watching was sweating me the whole time. Will Decino survive idk?! Oh boy so tense.

[@nangsanbhalangblah333]

Idk why but the map so far is giving me mucus flow vibes. Must be the mystifying midi

[@furorteutonicus9045]

Damn, decino pumping out that 1 hour + content like crazy!

[@Mugroar]

I love it and hate it. Love it because hey, more Decino, but hate it because I don’t have 60-90 solid minutes a day free anymore. I gotta watch in pieces :( That’s a ME problem, I acknowledge!

[@DinnerForkTongue]

​@@Mugroar That's an US problem, I'm afraid 😔

[@idd_cutie1274]

This was a nice wad to watch and wake up to. Love every detail and absolutely love the choice of music

[@WindigoTP]

Me in the morning: "Let's quickly watch the daily decino video before work" Also me: "What the hell, it was just one vid, how is it evening already?!"

[@SnowRaptor]

OOOh! I would love an Analysis video of the mapping techniques here: the sliding door, the deep water... I remember you mentioning the bridges en passant during Hell Revealed, Iguess, and Doom 64. I love those technical stuff! Groetjes!

[@ItsBofu]

This map is my kind of challenge. It's right at the upper limit of what i would consider a good amount of detail in a map (any more and i feel like it wouldve interfered with gameplay - great job keeping it at that level, author!)

[@Dollar_Store_Cacodemon]

Mind boggling levels of detail and mapping magic going on in this one. Bravo to the designer! Reminds me a bit of Eviternity map 32. Not in its level design but in its scale, adventure and tiresome grind.

[@wymanrtaylor]

Crazy map with an excellent and fitting MIDI!

[@dt2phillips]

Those 4 arch-viles stuck in those windows looked so gifted.

[@patriknydensten1363]

Amazing work! Very entertaining run. Danger around every corner. Map looked incredible. And you got the cyber and archi fight in a 5x5 room you wanted. Perfection.

[@ODMA2112]

Amazing map. What a journey. Glad to have experienced this. Shoutout to the doggo. Farewell!

[@kyramonnix1520]

yes you can!

[@popeyboy5108]

You absolutely predicted that final fight!

[@Vordikk]

Oh my. Boom has been pushed off limits at this map. So insane. And difficultly just explodes at some point quite early. Nice and tough one. Althought\, i suppose it's that tough on ultra-violence only, and so only there having some of these secrets are kinda necessary to find. And veeery nice blind play! You were very close, but map strike in the back: "I don't wanna know, whati's behind me, and if i ignore it, maybe it will ignore me?" (Spoiler: it won't) Speaking of video length: Another long decino video! Impressive! I very like that!) Tho for blind runs i don't look at video length aymore, so getting surprised just as much as you do. (This "trick" could be nice hint for other viewers too, i suppose ;) )

[@mark-lj5dc]

such a cool map - awesome easter egg - great commentary and game-play - love hearing you stress out

[@guitarzan5328]

An hour-plus long video from Decino? Nice!! 😁 And those floating corpses... did the power of Christ compel them??? 😆

[@Foolish_flame]

Quite a few times this round of viewer submissions I’ve been absolutely awed by the quality of maps we’re seeing. And obviously gameplay on point as always - amazing work all round

[@Kingdramana]

Wow the secrets of this map were completely mandatory! Also amazing music btw. A great map overall. I am checking this video often. It was fun seeing you so sweeting.

[@jamison8929]

really great map! it was a beast! painful to see that death after 1 hr. laughed out loud at the "juicy" backpack and megasphere

[@user-yv6xw7ns3o]

Wow that was epic! Kudos to you for playing maps like this for our entertainment! I really like the playthroughs you do of long brutal maps. And great job to the map maker, very creative!

[@improversgaming]

Really enjoyed your playthrough of this map Decino! I have watched most of your content and even the tough livestream but this feels like the most edgy playthrough I have seen from you. You were worried and nervous from the start and that death really hurt us too! You did so well though. Really enjoyable the match of player and map and the way the whole adventure unfolded, thanks!

[@Mr.Showbiz]

Damn bruh, that reliquary was forgotten as hell! I absolutely love this maximalist mapping style, shame my laptop can’t handle it. Awesome run with a lot of drama!!

[@rendfall]

1:05:55 I died just after you... by laughing at that Cyberslide hahaha

[@Nob1ej0n]

This was thrilling! First, great map! Lots of cool tricks, but it was also visually great with (mostly) good battles. A bit long for a casual single-segment run, but some people enjoy that sort of thing, so I want knock that design choice. Let's keep the diversity of styles! Second, about halfway through I decided to stop looking at how much time was remaining so that I could get a more spoiler-free viewing experience myself. The tension was strong with this one! I was all queued up to write a comment about how incredible of a blind run this was and to congratulate you for successfully completing it. When that high damage homing rocket got you I threw my hands in the air and shout-whispered "WHAT?!" in disbelief. What a show! Third, I chuckled at how you no-clipped to the monster closet, but then walked back through the map as normal even though you started no-clipping right by the entrance and could have easily no-clip right back again. Haha, at least it gave you time to remember what else you wanted to say.

[@leoneldoleschal1194]

¡Gracias!

[@georgeheilman885]

I feel like that when the Cyber and Barons show up at 1:05:55, they look around them and think, "Ah crap, we missed it."

[@Phryj]

Considering how relentless this map is, that was a really good blind run! You even managed to take down the Revenant that got you with your last shot. And how the heck did he make sideways sliding doors in Boom?

[@JoostN86]

Dit is geweldige content. Al je content is goed, maar deze video is echt super. Decino zien ontdekken en niks van te voren te weten is echt leuk om te zien. En de map is enorm, waardoor de video ook super lang is. Meer van dit!

[@fellow_doomer]

i love the way the map looks! the forms and shapes! amazing map!!

[@johnszabo6564]

I swear, since I know nothing about designing, Decino I honestly thought you were calling it “cheesy” doom. After all these maps till this one! 😂. GZ doom. Now I got it.

[@leadendeath]

this is what you get when you’re an excellent doomer, you get brutal maps submitted!! never doubt your abilities decino 🎃🧡

[@VitorMach]

Amazing map, congrats anfractu0us. And farewell, friend. 😢

[@shutyourjessup]

That Easter egg broke my heart 😢😢😢 Absolutely the sweetest thing. Awesome map too!!!

[@gregor1O1]

Funny that this wad contains sliding doors as well, because just a few days ago i played through Sign of Torment for the first time, which is also complv 9, and at first i couldn't believe when i saw that it uses sliding doors like this all over the place. Maybe that wad served as an inspiration for this map? Sign of Torment was featured in last year's Cacowards, so who knows. It also really loves using transparent textures for doors. But i would be surprised if the idea of using Boom's line action 249 in combination with fake ceiling/floors to create fake sliding doors like this wasn't discovered earlier than last year.

[@adinocc2042]

Great map. Never a dull moment!

[@the_broly_arms]

It's odd that you bring up the dream-like quality of this map--I will occasionally have dream wherein I'm playing an impossibly difficult DOOM wad with similar... uh, "off-the-wall" architecture. It tends to be oddly unsettling, bordering on a nightmare. Weird stuff!

[@novaanverdiano7589]

Just having started the video, the BGM gives me huge Unreal vibes and that's a good thing.

[@anfractu0us]

Completely forgot youtube kills comments with links; hopefully decino isn't getting spammed by my attempts at linking the very much delayed public release! :^P That said, I've posted it on Doomworld. The post is at /forum/topic/137938-forgotten-reliquary/. While I could keep fiddling forever with it, I've decided to call it as it is for the time being so I can focus on the next map :^) Thanks again for hosting it while I buttoned it up for the public release decino!

[@WorldofFood]

This map was an absolute odyssey! Mind blowing amount of detail, and not even just in some areas. Literally every corner is packed with sectors. Final fight seems like it was designed with an invuln in mind but they forgot to add it lol.

[@Ben_of_Langley]

Yay another long decino upload expect unlike the last one which was the TNT one which was multiple levels this is just one big boi map so looking forward to seeing what's in store I'll add a reply to this comment when I'm finished with the video. For now I'll just say that which normally ends my comment which is as always cheers for upload decino

[@Ben_of_Langley]

Holy crap that revenant you but wow this map was something I was actually well into it really enjoyed watching this I can imagine it's fun to play in a scary not knowing what's coming next kinda way I mean it's a good question how are you meant to beat some of these fights without the bfg. I was thinking it had at least 1300 demon's in it I was surprised to see only 827 kills just seemed like a lot more to be honest maybe it's just the size of the level making it seem like there is more than what there is though still eight hundred demon's is quite a lot still but yeah definitely a good one certainly made my evening complete so cheers decino. Beautiful tribute at the end very sad thing though but they will live on not in only in their hearts and minds but forever more in this level as a part of the doom community

[@DavideGualano1980]

What a map, and what a ride of a video!

[@Muladeseis]

Imagine the last fight if revenants wouldn't have killed decino. I think there were just stimpacks to survive it!

Just finished watching Dwars and Lightningboltforever and now I got you next then BMD has a livestream coming up.

[@Dymundback]

Oh hell! That death with the Ravin'ants... Damn.

[@MaxT-SFX]

When you died and that Cyber slid in I facepalmed sensing a meme nearby. Imagining 6 of those along with Archies during your blind run, only to lmao learn you can chill during most of the fight. The map was pretty fantastic, and is it wrong to enjoy some of your dread? lol - if I submitted a map like this though I would want to give you a little indication of what to expect since you host a KZbin channel. Nice run, a new map to check out. Thanks!

[@furorteutonicus9045]

Gratz to 180k subs!

[@ZacharyDietze]

I know this is completely unrelated, and I don't want to make anyone else upset, but my first cat died yesterday. She was old and deteriorating really bad, so we had to put her down. If anyone else is reading this, please pray/hope that she is doing well and that me the rest of my family may heal as quickly as possible from our grief. Thank you, and have a good week.

[@decino]

I'm sorry to hear, I'm sure she had a wonderful life. I wouldn't say your comment is completely unrelated due to a certain easter egg in this map.

[@ZacharyDietze]

⁠​⁠@@decinoWe did the best we could. She was 17 when she passed and we had her for nearly 7 years. She was a rescue cat from the streets so nobody knows for certain when she was born, (January perhaps?) but regardless she was still scared of pretty much everything when she changed owners to us and yet adapted to us pretty quickly. She was calm the whole time she was being out to sleep. (Except for a small hiccup when she first got the shot, but afterwards she was still fine) She was a trooper. I'm actually more worried about our younger cat though since they were best buds. She seems fine so far, but I will do everything I can to help her if she shows signs of being depressed. Oh really, there's an easter egg? That's quite the coincidence lol, what time stamp is it at?
