Description:
8 minutes and 8 seconds faster than the previous record by JCD.
Ok, I think I'm done with nightmare 100% secrets for now.
Video uses plutmidi to replace the midis.
Details on the route and more comments about the run can be found by reading the included txt file with the demo found here: www.doomworld.com/forum/post/...
Some comments about the run:
Map 01: No painstate on the manc before the exit, unlucky, ok health for the next map.
Map 04: Wanted to avoid the green armor at the start as my armor was probably going to drop below 100%.
Map 05: Chaingunner hit the mastermind which saves me quite a bit of health.
Map 06: Took a lot of damage there at red key.
Map 12: Everything went quite well up until the pain elemental where I suddenly took crazy amount of damage, never had issues with that area before. Unusual for the pain elemental to even show up there, but at least he wasn't blocking the jump to the baron area. The baron position was very fortunate though, low on health and I don't often have much room to dodge here so I could have died if the baron was on the other side.
Map 13: Not sure what happened with the first north glide attempt, might have moved past the gap, at least I didn't get hit by the baron respawn.
Map 32: Got the linedef skip at the start which was quite useful this time. The first part went really well, didn't take much damage until yellow key. Never seen such chaos afterwards though, had to run around the cyberdemon in the center, but shouldn't be possible to die here. From here everything went well up until blue key door, especially grabbing the blue key was trivial for once. Took a bit of damage after leaving the pain elemental area, but usually that's no problem here. Got quite unlucky with the cyberdemon at blue key door, no idea what he was doing.
Map 18: I think that arch-vile jump was very close, should have delayed it a bit more. Also a chaingunner was alive next to the vile.
Map 20: Failed the first attempt at pressing the switch through the wall, not sure what went wrong, but I don't really have any idea what I'm doing here. Got it second try though which is good enough.
Map 21: Looks like I just barely killed the arch-vile at red key with rockets, did it just to be extra safe, but it can be skipped. Got hit when going for the glide though which scared me a bit.
Map 25: Unbeliveable start, almost like I had the blur artifact, should not be possible to reach the next area with that amount of health and armor.
Map 30: Very scary to see the cyberdemon take the first BFG on the way back up from the tunnel, if he had a lot of health left while I have an arch-vile in my back then I would be in big trouble.

Hey Zero Master, I just wanted to say thank you for creating and sharing your Doom content with us. I just got home after my friend's funeral service today. He was 39 years old and finally lost his eight-year battle with cancer. Eric and I used to play Doom growing up: Doom 1, Doom 2, and the various expansions for them. We played lots of different games. It was a "golden time" growing up in the age of personal computers with many game companies and titles. Same with consoles, too. Anyways, watching this at my desktop brings me great peace after another long day going through this process. You are truly a master of the Doom games, and your playing is a form of artwork. It provides great entertainment. You may play for competition, but it's really about your passion and joy. Thank you for what you do. It's bigger than you think.

[@ZeroMaster]

sorry to hear about your friend, I wish you all the best and thank you for sharing.

[@doomslayer_spyrofan3943]

Wish i could give you a hug ngl 😢

[@juanchol21]

❤

[@lancebaylis3169]

❤️ So relatable. Sorry for your loss!

[@goldexperiencerequiem821]

Im very sorry for your loss man

[@strannyi_chelovek]

Well, it took JCD more than 2000 attempts to complete Plutonia 100% on nightmare. It took Zero Master only 2 weeks to cut 8 minutes from an already unbelievable record. Another huge achievement for the greatest player of all time!

[@MrGarthboy]

Idk, I hate the music but have to admit that they managed to make 1 soundtrack work somewhat because I recognize what clips they start on the beginning of the lv, it's just various doom 2 tracks thrown together on 1 track I think, so it's better than no music, but it's still the grandest turn off on ps1 final doom, I didn't even want to play to the 2nd lv in plutonia yet.

[@Phytolizer]

​@@MrGarthboy You're far from the only one that is disappointed by the lack of music. That's why the community made a custom music pack a long time ago called plutmidi (ZM is using it in this video too)

[@MrGarthboy]

@@Phytolizer I think I was more disappointed in my health and state of perspective while playing, I often wonder if they designed the game to make fun of me or something when I play, but at least I don't know all the levels still, that's a bonus.

[@Phytolizer]

@@MrGarthboy Theyre hard levels. Maybe not to the people that have been playing the game for decades, but Plutonia is for people that really want to git gud. There are definitely levels where they're playing with you but for the most part they're presenting an honest challenge, it seems to me like they spike encounters with chaingunners and archviles because they found it funny or something :P

[@MrGarthboy]

@@Phytolizer I actually think about stuff like does the level design actually mean something personal on like a future telling sense, like did they watch me personally play I before I did, an it messes with me some, the difficulty levels fine I'm a decent player.

[@Hector_Piriz]

The Longer Zero Master is on earth, the stronger he will become

[@Geniraul]

An 8 minute 8 second improvement in Plutonia on Nightmare! with 100% secrets - this is legendary! 🙌 Congratulations on the new world record and keep going this well! 🔥

I know you'll hear this all the time Zero Master but it is so cool to watch you do these incredible feats. Thanks for the efforts and uploads. You're a true professor and professional of all things Doom. Love it!

[@hell_pike9150]

When i was 13, The Plutonia Experiment was my go to iwad. It's a throw back watching this, reminds me how good that wad was for it's time. Very creepy vibes, survival horror at it's finest. Great job zeromaster for another great record

[@joeilya]

Holy cyberdemon butt! What a run, filled with all sorts of tricks, and a perfect Icon of Sin execution to top it all off.

[@johnarmstrong5533]

So many linedef skips. So many tricks executed on the first try. Damn impressive.

[@Dollar_Store_Cacodemon]

The alternative midi used in Map 16 is superb in this run! What a tune! 😁

[@84xxComeGetSomexx84]

I’m starting to get the feeling that Zero Master really likes Doom

[@Quyzbuk86]

I had to do a double take when I saw this show up in my recommendations. What an insane run.

[@Sphendrana]

Oh man I love these so much. And Plutonia is my favorite wad of them all. Can't wait to see if decino runs through Plutonia too. These absolute Legends.

[@bummbrotha1065]

I want to see a Doom 64 speedrun.

[@Nob1ej0n]

Absolutely incredible.

Words cannot even begin to describe. Congrats!

Wow, i forgot to read the title. I didnt even realize this was on Nightmare difficultly till about half way in. I didnt notice anything respawn because you did this so quick!

[@solar901]

It always amazes me when somebody makes a complete mockery of Plutonia.

[@justchicknugget]

100% secrets on Nightmare is already a pure chaos even for E1, good job!

Human brains usually reach certain frequencies, I am pretty sure, without a EEG, that your brain was reaching Gamma or even hyper Gamma at moments of this run, holy f***. Congrats on the WR!.

[@bummbrotha1065]

This is pure black magic. It's astounding to see someone THIS GOOD at a FPS.

[@ch3ng90]

Such a pleasure to watch you play, everything is so smooth. Perfect

[@megasphere308]

Hey, congrats for all these amazing achievements. Watching you beating the original wads on NMS was a great pleasure. About TNT... I thought it might never happen, but you did it ! You even exited map 09 with a lot of health :) I didn't know your route but it seems to be the safiest way to deal with this dreadful map. Oh sorry, I'm supposed to comment on Plutonia :) Congrats on the record again, can't wait to watch your next movies !

[@mondragon9282]

Barons Lair, not Den. My bad.

[@Chuma95]

Hey Zero, you are my favorite Doom Speedrunner of all time, you are an absolute legend, keep being amazing :) Have you thought on doing an UV-Max run of TNT? Only 3 records have being recorded and I think it can be optimized. Not sure if it's in your plans.

[@ZeroMaster]

If I'll ever do a uv max full run it would have to be plutonia first, if that happens then anything is possible I guess. But I'm not sure if that will happen either, so not very likely unfortunately :)

[@xlchen851128]

The DOOM GUY strikes again. Thanks for your contribution.

[@whthafk]

I HATE that invisible bridge at the end of map02 lol. You make it all look easy!!

[@shacrime4544]

Nice vid Zero! you should try a speedrun of Brutal Doom on realism mode that version of this game are so hard!!

[@Portponky]

That's pretty quick.

[@exxor9108]

Wow... o.o RTA and you used death to save time!

[@chooseyouhandle]

Nice

[@WrestlingandFilmReviews]

I had Win 95 in 1996 and played Doom I & II. This Final Doom I don't remember playing. Who remembers game called Heretic? I beat the whole game with Thou Art Smite Meister difficulty. Then there was fun puzzle-game called Supaplex.

[@TheWolfgangGrimmer]

The classic Doom community as a whole is plenty familiar with Heretic.

[@lofoten2223]

It's impressive that there are more than one person who tries these runs.

[@Tod_x]

Done Quicker

[@Vic_TSO]

I read the comment on the run but i say the RNG was nuts, could have ended at any point. Congratulations for getting another record and making it look easy

[@reptongeek]

We've been doing well with movie runs lately. Nm100s movies from you for both parts of Final Doom and UV Fast movies from Tatsurd as well as UV Max movies through Memento Mori II and Requiem Doom II needs a new UV Fast movie, the old record does need updating considering recent achievements
