This is the first single-segment run of Final Doom: TNT Evilution on Nightmare! difficulty with obtaining 100% secrets on every level. This was the last undone nightmare all secrets category for the IWADs (doom, doom2, plutonia, tnt), were plutonia was done about 2 years ago. Primary reason why this hasn't been done before now is because of map 02 and map 09 which are very difficult on nightmare. However I have come up with some new strategies that have made it a lot more manageable, details on that and comments about the run can be found by reading the included txt file with the demo found here: www.doomworld.com/forum/topic...
This is also the longest nightmare record ever made! Now I am only missing plutonia myself to have completed all iwads for this category, so I will hopefully get that done at some point too.
I've switched to the correct aspect ratio for the hud, I primarily went with the stretched hud previously because I absolutely hated the ugly brick textures that prboom had, but it's been a while since that could be corrected with the widescreen assets, just never bothered to switch until now.
I've replaced the midis with the tnt midi pack found here: www.doomworld.com/forum/topic...
Some comments about the run:
Map 02: I realized I had enough armor that I could grab it on the way to the exit, but I usually don't do that since I'll take extra damage, so not a great idea, but it worked out here.
Map 04: Good enough starting health that it shouldn't be a problem. Unfortunate with the revenant going down the elevator, as I didn't wake up the monsters by the exit because of it, but I survived the end so it's fine.
Map 09: Got really close at the blue key berserk secret, went quite ok otherwise.
Map 31: Lol, if I had died at the start here... what a mess, forgot where the health was too. Otherwise just taking it very safe and slow. Those revenant rockets make me nervous though, especially when I go for the soulsphere, felt like I'd have a really dumb death here at some point, but that never happened.
Map 32: Unbeliveable bad luck with that last secret by the revenant closet, took lots of damage and then I 100% should have died at the mancubi. The plan is to just activate the switch and go back immediately, but I guess I paniced because of the bad health and tried to dodge by going further past it which I think might have made things worse, I don't know. Pure luck that I didn't die.
Map 18: Why... there's something about the yellow key and the keys on map 26 too that just make them so.. forgettable.
Map 25: Messed up the ending really badly there, might have gotten killed if I got too close to those barrels perhaps.
Thanks for watching!

[@GenericInternetter]

Civvie 11 spinning in his grave right now, and he's not even dead.

[@Zulk_RS]

He's spinning in the Clown Room which is close enough.

[@gl00merz]

Civvie is definitely dead

[@max-zv7sf]

Depends, the civvie from which timeline?

[@GenericInternetter]

@@max-zv7sf the one where he's completing TNT over the span of 30 days, and ZM just comes along and does it on nightmare in under 2 hours. that timeline.

[@Zulk_RS]

@@GenericInternetter How much you wanna bet this was just another form of punishment for him in the Clown Room

[@coincident]

Very nice run. Loved the waiting strategy on map 9 to drive stuff away from where you wanted to go. Genius stuff and some very close calls too. GG

[@phealotful]

After seeing this, I think Zero Master will the first in doing non-TAS Okuplok on UV

[@k3yzw1zard79]

He was also letting the monsters spawn back in so there were no surprises

[@KakeiTheWoIf]

I was wondering why there was like... 8 minutes of sitting doing nothing in that level.

[@strannyi_chelovek]

A guy with nickname JCD who is a nightmare expert tried to do this for thousands of attempts(90% of them ended on lvl 2 btw). He did this torturous grind for months and months. On his best attempt he died at map 27 and gave up. Hundreds of hours were put into this. When I realised, he won't back to this, I thought that's it. No one would have enough determination and skill to do it. This is literally the hardest thing on nightmare that could be done in IWADs. No way, it happened! The ultimate master of doom returned with a new insane accomplishment. Huge congratulations!

[@K4inan]

Dude, I thought this video was years old but it was just uploaded, blows my mind lol

[@strannyi_chelovek]

@@K4inan years old? Hell no, but Zero Master tried his best to improve level routes for years. Without his contribution there would be no humanly possible strategies at all(especially for hellish maps 8 and 9). Also, should I mention that he is still the only one who completed TNT:evilution D2all on nightmare?

[@K4inan]

@@strannyi_chelovek It's the fact that this just happened that blows my mind, that it took so long for anyone to do it.

[@strannyi_chelovek]

@@K4inan okay, I understand you. I just wanted to say, that it's even more unbelievable, that it wouldn't be possible without one man.

[@0neDoomedSpaceMarine]

@@K4inan TNT's Map 09 - Stronghold, is probably THE hardest official level to do on Nightmare, it's a neverending hailstorm of bullets all over, it was the last official level to get beaten on this difficulty, and it took until about 2014 until someone finally did,. People thought it outright wasn't possible, so anyone who's recorded a demo where they reached the exit of THIS map on THIS difficulty is someone who should be regarded as highly skilled at Doom. And here we have good old ZeroMaster doing it with 100% secrets. *Man.*

[@luzzbightyear7008]

This is in the conversation for the single greatest achievement in Doom speedrunning history

[@mjc0961]

decino finished his Doom 2 Nightmare! run and now Zero Master is here with TNT on Nightmare! And of course right before that was Coincident's saveless run of Okuplok Absolutely amazing stuff from the Doom community lately.

[@txcrix9236]

Right? The heat is on now for Decino lol. I'm so glad there's a community out there keeping this game alive. 👍

[@reptongeek]

We've also got Tatsurd's movie run of Requiem in UV Max coming up too

[@billabobyt]

kinetic sub-3 sunlust d2all will come soon probably but he's taking a break to focus on his personal life so idk

[@AlexeiVoronin]

I hope Decino will get inspired by this to do his own run.

[@TIIKKETMASTER]

​@@billabobytis the sunder d2all the classic 2009 or the newest? Just curious, seems very interesting.

[@tatsurdcacocaco]

Congratulation!! Many new speed run feats are being accomplished at Doom as we approach for the 30th anniversary. I need to keep up the good work too.

[@DoomPlayerD0M0]

Human BBQ and Stronghold must’ve been absolutely brutal to complete in one segment. You have never failed to disappoint us! Excellent stuff!

[@user-mt2jm7vy6i]

If not for Metal void glide I would say that Stronghold would've been impossible to complete. In his NM run he finished Metal with 100 healt and it was lucky - and was barely able to complete m9 without 100% secrets requirement. There he entered Stronghold with 200/99 stack. Metal last room is brutal and you can't realistically expect to end it with 200/99. For this to happen you need to have 1) possible void glide on m8; 2) one that allows you to take 100% secrets; 3) one that allows you to end the level with 200/99. This is an extremely rare occasion and a pure luck that this one exists right before the most difficult map of the run.

[@silverchain92channel]

Say that again, but slowly

[@_antares031]

110 minutes of epicness. After the release of Final Doom, it was worth to wait 27 years to see this. Well played 👏👏👏

[@asabovesobelow1362]

Love your wads bro.

[@anthonymentalewicz5143]

The legend appears!

[@0neDoomedSpaceMarine]

TNT has its flaws, but it's very dear to my heart and has a lot of highlights. Map09 is one of my favorite iwad levels, and watching people pull off NM runs of that level alone is _incredibly_ exciting for how stupidly intense it gets, the level of gameplay is so insanely high.

[@henrymeyer7588]

The Movement The Aim The Counting The Timing The Map skill Pure Gold

[@wallyhackenslacker]

It's like decino said, this truly is the year of Doom on nightmare! What a towering achievement this is!

[@PeterLawrenceYT]

No fucking way, NO FUCKING WAY 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

[@riba2233]

You must be excited asf now lol

[@ssbooth]

Just last night I was perusing YT thinking "Zero Master hasn't posted in a while... I wonder what absurd challenge he's working on at the moment," and lo and behold! I haven't even watched it yet, but I know it's going to be epic! Kudos in advance, Sir.

[@dyBBelyBTASTIC]

Decino is doing a Nightmare playthough of DOOM II? ZeroMaster: Hold my beer Single segments TNT on Nightmare.. Priceless.

[@GenericInternetter]

1:22:05 absolutely perfect timing. what an amazing shot. such a subtle moment of absolute mastery.

[@NaturalTvventy]

Wow, you played through all of TNT Evilution in one sitting? That's a feat no one's ever had the mental fortitude to do before!

[@AlexeiVoronin]

The 1990's would like to have a word with you ;)

[@smward87]

Keep in mind the only reason it's this long is because he was going for all secrets. If it was an any% speedrun this video would only be about 20 minutes long lol

[@Ruler3001]

This is actually insane. Map 02 and map 09 are incredibly, incredibly difficult on nightmare, let alone while getting 100% secrets. The amount of hitscan really makes TNT brutal on NM. And the fact that this is a single segment run is amazing. Excellent job Zero Master, I'm still amazed a run like even exists! Lol You really are one of the best doom players!

[@nassera]

Wow, Civvieee, I summon you to enjoy this. My favorite WAD! Evilution Nightmare perfect

[@OmegaTyrant]

Me when trying to sit through a 2 hour movie: -_- Me when Zero Master uploads a 2 hour TNT 100% Nightmare run: O_O Also very nice with using the TNT MIDI Pack, made the run even better to watch.

[@Fingolfin3423]

Zero, these videos are so enjoyable to watch. Thanks for creating and sharing this content.

[@comfortable.and.furious]

I need Civvie and Decino to comment on this. Great work as always Zero Master

[@danielja1832]

The best kind of lunatic! Keep up the good work!

[@jrock718]

You do beautiful work. Thanks for the video

[@jikissgamer]

You absolute madman! Congrats. Also that remixed soundtrack is awesome.

[@cybershadow]

Finally i will have a movie for tonight in smart TV. Thanks Zero

[@Fevett1]

The legend is back! We miss you Zero Master

[@justinholland9844]

Well, I'll never be this good, but I'm glad someone out there is.

[@jaymxu]

Thank you so much for this, Final Doom is so underrated!

[@improversgaming]

Absolutely epic! So great to see you pushing the original IWADs so much. This is a great achievement. The combination of Nightmare and Speedrunning really emphasises the tough balance between survival and speed. It is particularly noticable for this run that there is a shift towards survival as completing this successfully is such a challenge, particularly in single segmenting the whole IWAD. Been a joy following your exploits and many thanks for your detailed descriptions, I love to read your thoughts and approaches! Well done, once again! Thanks!

[@elmaminsk5411]

Okay, I've just finished my daily job and was going to relax by watching something on KZbin. Then I see this video. And now I know how I'll spend the next two hours. Thanks, ZeroMaster, for such great job and great entertainment!

[@FinalManaTrigger]

What a run, couldn't expect anything less from Zero master though! And that's a hell of a great music pack too!

[@Hydronisa]

I don't see TAS in the title or description I DON'T SEE TAS IN THE TITLE OR DESCRIPTION!!! mom, pick me up, I'm scared

[@maxilew1227]

I thought this (TNT NM 100%) was impossible, but you are also the one who makes the impossible possible.

[@reptongeek]

Indeed. I always say that it isn't impossible, it's just nobody has done it yet

[@SirTroglodyte]

My heart rate goes up just from watching. Many tnanks!

[@bread4664]

Very timely for Civvie's 30 days of TNT, haha! Incredible run, man!

[@lukebehrendsbro.]

Freakin amazing run you did there. Can't imagine how well I would do under this situation so I gotta conquer this by beating this game without saving which might redeem myself doing so. Also congrats on the 69K subs. 🙂👏

[@silentone3852]

Typical Tuesday for Zero Master 😎

[@Erikcartman1337]

Yesterday watched your channel, if i might have missed a newspeedrun. And i didnt, thought you might have taken a break. this is sick. TNT 1 sigment..

[@jlczgames95]

Indeed amazing job on Human BBQ.

[@cammy4119]

Outstanding run, Zero Master! TNT is already much harder than Doom 1 or 2, but that difficulty gets amplified so, so much more on Nightmare. This must have taken ages. Thank you again for playing with the MIDI pack - it's a real honor! :)

[@thelippyserver58]

I wasn't paying attention to it before, but when Map 4 started it instantly hit me that you were playing with the midi pack. Man that song is fucking great.

[@absoultethings4213]

Outstanding run, this is shaping up to be a year where many challenges fall.

[@blockboygames5956]

For someone who has been playing tnt: Evilution since the 90's, it really is embarrassing just how many new secrets I learned from watching this video. Superb speedrun as always Mr. Zero Master. Superb.

[@sozhran]

Almost 2 hours, oh god. And the timing couldn’t be more perfect XD

[@LightningBoltForever]

Huge congrats on clearing TNT! I can't imagine how much time went into crafting a strategy for and practicing Map02 and Map09 especially. Also, even in the situations where you take a lot of damage, your movements, while fast, still appear smooth and not panicky, at least to me anyway, showcasing how effectively you're able to think on your feet. Major props!

[@StrafeRG]

The master has returned.

[@Harzexe]

Yeeeeey! Gonna watch it this evening for sure. I have to buy some popcorn first 🤓

[@maximumtaco2298]

This run is amazing! Congratulations Zero Master

[@CafConIsOn]

I have to wonder if this is a response to Civvie's 30 days of TNT haha. Either way, great run. You're a legend ZM

[@Fevett1]

I was playing on steam this Source Port: DSDA-Doom v0.25.6 is SO GOOD thanks ZM S2

[@alexandrpeterberg390]

The one and only person who had done TNT Evilution on Nightmare with 100% secrets. You are the best!

[@johneygd]

This is just sooo funny and addictng to watch, i just can’t stop watching once i start doing that because then i only want some more🤣🤣🤣

[@phobosranger]

The legend returns!

[@Smokin438]

I knew this video would come one day, I have watched your OG NM run of this game like 100 times

[@Laxontlyn]

You were quiet with uploads recently mr. zero-master, so I was wondering what new crazy doom feat you were attempting... And well, you never dissappoint.

[@hanselchan1232]

The legend, the unbeaten, the one who stands head and shoulders above all competition, is BACK. All hail, ZERO MASTER!!! 🙌

[@scarpelli9114]

I've read all of the info, and it's all so well put together meaning grammatically correct. Don't know about the game but your English is spot on!

[@garethdean6382]

This is a truly epic accomplishment. Some things are rendered insane by the immense amount of care needed to optimize a ten second strategy, but this stands on its own due to the sheer effort needed for a single successful run. I have seen people throw themselves at this project and shatter against it like a glass on stone. Kudos to the first, and quite possibly ONLY ever successful single segment run.

[@bedrockcastle777]

Incredible. I never thought the day would come.

[@willeatpants7691]

Out of nowhere! ZeroMaster with the new WR! On nightmare too!

[@rafiki_9562]

Congratulations! This is seriously amazing

[@justinhamblen4411]

A beautiful run! Just amazing. It will go down in the history books and children will sing songs in ur name! Congratulations.

[@anonymnianonym1254]

When you said you were planning something big, I didn't expect this. GG man, amazing run

[@Shityashin]

Incredible! GG!

For some reason each time ZeroMaster upload these bangers I want to put them on the TV, pick the grill, make some barbecue and have a good time.

[@il_nostro_della_segreto]

Hey, why not do this? I don't have a yard nor a grill, but I like to put some Zeromaster on the telly and make myself a nice dinner.

[@matheusrios4223]

this man is an absolute legend :D

[@jimmmyz169]

OMG!! 🤤 Edit: Holy hell a single segment run! The man, the myth, the legend just keeps defying the impossible! 👊

[@jonathanford9354]

I'm sure I don't understand just how big a deal this is. Had a chuckle at the missed key on map 18. I guess even gods make mistakes sometimes. Also forgot how fricking huge some of these maps are. Great work!
