Description:
stx-Vile's 30ns5600 was done in 2004, over 12 years ago! Before stx-Vile, Doom 2 NM100S was completed by 3 other people: Henning, Vincent and Ryback. It was first done in 2001 by Henning, who is the only one to have more than one exit (3 times). So a time of 47:52 is just over 8 minutes faster than the previous record which stood for 12 years, main reason for the large time improvement is because of the tricks that have been discovered since. Big thanks to those guys for showing it was possible in the first place!
Some notes about the secrets:
On map 15 you can only get 9/10 secrets, at around 22:30 you can see me open a wall on map 15 which has a teleporter, this is the only secret that I cannot grab. In order to trigger the secret I need doomguys center to be in the secret area, but because it's too small you first get lifted up when walking into the teleporter, thus making it impossible to be on the ground in that secret area.
On map 27 I do a skip on an north facing teleport linedef to grab 100%, this is not required since it's very precise to grab and nobody knew if it was possible many years ago. Maps 14,21,29,30 have no secrets. I also do not play with "A secret is revealed!" message so I need to take special care to make sure I trigger some of them.
This is my longest nightmare run so far, a bit longer than plutonia.
My next plans are to attempt to beat Final Doom: TNT Evilution on nightmare difficulty, which has never been done before. I expect it to be at least an hour long if it ever reaches the end.

26:00 - when i started playing Doom II as a kid - dunno why - but for me this map was really scary . Maybe it's because of those Revenants around every corner. Or that place where you grab a card, and then find yourself surrounded by neverending wave of monsters teleporting out of nowhere... Or maybe it was because of that creepy, eerie music. Hmmm

[@PatRick-kp3jk]

[@alifunterz]

Basically, These guys don't play this game officially. They used GZDoom, A third-party software that allows this game to be run on newer version of Windows. I literally mean to say that those softwares allows the player to play with mouse very easier so that they can make Tool-Assisted Speedruns (TAS). While in the official DOS version of the game, Player doesn't need to play with mouse because that is not comfort to play with Mouse on that version. Sorry for bad English, Hope you understand !!

[@infinityacceptance3257]

Me too

[@alifunterz]

Hmph! Now I see the description, You are right He is not using GZDoom. I thought that there is only one unofficial source port (GZDoom), Never heard of Competitive Doom, Chocolate Doom or Prboom etc. Anyway, Thanks for the correction.

[@condor.67]

So, playing on Ultra-Violence with "sv_fastmonsters true" is essencially Nightmare mode without the respawns and double ammo (cuz there's not need since the monsters don't respawn). People say that monsters do more damage on Nightmare, that's not true. You get that impression cuz "sv_fastmonsters" is turned on by default and the respawns change all the perspective

[@Starhawke_Gaming]

(Edit, updated as comment below) @Zero Master - This run category really needs to be updated now that the final secret on map 15 has been solved. I am sure it will seriously increase the overall run time unless a faster solution is able to be found. Perhaps a "actually 100%" speedrun category needs to be added to preserve the validity of the old runs. But yeah, this is definitely not a 100% run any longer.

[@Starhawke_Gaming]

Update: I just looked through your videos and saw the updated one you posted two days ago with the real 100% run. Good job. I commented here first because this video was the one that popped up on my suggestion feed.

[@PartyCrasher04]

Zeno Popo/Azrael it's coming out soon :p

[@T-West]

Awesome! What makes TNT so much harder on Nightmare? I would imagine that the hitscan enemies, especially level 9, would kill many a run. And do you think Nightmare 100% secrets would be possible on Plutonia?

[@ZeroMaster]

it's all about stronghold really, remove that and it would have been done already. and no, 100% secrets for plutonia nightmare should be impossible.

[@Alarm26]

2 main things make TNT incredibly difficult. The first is that most maps are somewhat claustrophobic, combined with a lot of higher tier monsters early on, combined with the sheer amount of deadly hitscanners, makes for a run that would only be completed if you had the best possible luck. Second is that TNT isnt really as popular as any of the other offical wads, so an almost entirely new route would have to be developed for nightmare TNT, which would not be easy.

[@ZeroMaster]

xit-vono actually did episode 2 and 3 on nightmare (maps 11-20 and 21-30), so a lot of work has already been done with the route. I'm sure he would have done episode 1 and perhaps a full run himself if it wasn't for stronghold. I should also mention map 09\stronghold comes after map 08 (obviously) which itself is a really luck based map with the last section. There is no way you get a good start for stronghold, if you could say get a mega armor on map 08 and keep all of it for map 09 it would be a lot easier. But that is impossible due to the massive amount of hitscanners in the final room of map 08 and it's even worse if you try to kill them because it spawns more. Well, afaik there isn't even a mega armor on map 08, you pick it up on map 07 and hope to keep it through all of map 07 and map 08 for stronghold.

[@adude6484]

Stronghold is harder than Vivisection but the map is hard af on Nightmare.
