Heretic - Episode 1,2,3,4,5 Smite-Meister Speedruns

[@Chronicallyaddictedtomusic]

The legend has awoken once again

[@mja2317]

I hope this leads to Black Plague 100% runs. If anyone can pull those off with style it's definitely the Zero Master.

[@qpn6ph9q]

So great to see a Heretic run in my feed! Almost makes me choke up with nostalgia! Zeromaster you're the greatest.

[@EldricDayne]

Heretic was the first game I’ve played. I’m glad you speedrun this game

[@Skibbi198]

same

[@kaledmarrero1011]

Wake up everybody, Zero Master has uploaded a new video.

[@stefanmoravcik598]

31:45 The way you're navigating through those tight, Ophidian infested corridors in E5M9 Skein of D'Sparil using the tomed up Phoenix Rod is really a sight to behold. A Black Plague speedrun would do you more justice, though...

[@aliengenie8896]

Amazing runs. That monster manipulation at 0:51 is underappreciated. The parts that blew my mind are the phoenix rod jump in E2M4 and the key grab in E3M2, and the wobble-glide in Quay. I had no idea that was even possible. The Great Stair was insane from start to finish.

[@Iamtheexile]

phoenix rod jump in E2M4: 8:28 the key grab in E3M2: 13:13 Don't know what's the wobble-glide, nor the great stair (is it the labyrinthian level? That one was great)

[@bradhague]

Dude. Phoenix rod jump. Amazing.

[@MagiCave]

woah, Heretic from Zero! Reading the level comments, I sense this is not the last we will see of Heretic :D and I'm all for it ;)

[@jaunzftw]

Ahh, the music from this game brings me back to my childhood.

[@kingdomkey2397]

At this point, the man is going to conquer every Idtech one game. Lol

[@dmitrylavrov5708]

Amazing phoenix jump at 8:28

[@tristikov]

Zero Master doing a Heretic speedrun? Whoa, thought this was a Dwars video for a second!

[@themetalcatacombs3790]

I think Dwars having a stroke after that.

[@Flailfist_Jr]

when there's no endless verbal diarhea from frame 1 , one knows it's not dWars

[@Skkra]

Heretic is so underrated in my opinion. It's a total classic that never seems to get the respect it deserves. It's fun to this day.

[@kuskus_th13]

I literally JUST beat Episode 3 of the game... and then I see this

[@merinn69]

Awesome! Hope to see more Heretic and Hexen speedruns from you!

[@SamTahbou]

Woah, Zero plays heretic speed runs?! I never knew

[@chainsawplayin]

No, it was his first playthrough of Heretic, that's why it's so long!

[@belandino]

@@chainsawplayin Long? Just 38 minutes for 5 episodes?

[@chainsawplayin]

[@Aziz.phenomenal]

@@chainsawplayin relax, it wasn't his first playthrough. He must have played it like a million times before getting so good at it

[@juanm128]

I love it! I say it before in other of your previous videos, that heretic was waiting for you. The game needed a legend to give it some love.

[@slushfilter7941]

Loved the Phoenix Rod jump; I'm learning this game and will probably go for it every time - The risk/reward is just too good there! Great video!

[@Arto91]

Played episode 4 5 for the first time a few days ago and still absolutely smashes it

[@THEGRUMPTRUCK]

It is very impressive. Played this for almost 20 years and I have heaps of trouble in episodes 4 and 5, they are very difficult.

[@gregorymifsud5389]

Heretic baby wuuuuuuu used to love and fear this game when i was 12

[@humanbeing_]

I see the word "Zero Master" and "9 Hours ago" I CLICK FAST; NO questions asked! _That was 2pm CST for me and I was at work, unfortunately..._ Btw - Your Doom Eternal runs are a beautiful spectacle to behold. Haven't watched DraQu's yet, but I did see Xiae's 1:54:50 yesterday, and I'll be honest: Technically it's faster, but the playing style is much different. Looking forward to you getting the title back and watching more runs.

[@maclarel]

I'm a simple man. I see a Zero Master upload, I give it a thumbs up.

[@Chronicallyaddictedtomusic]

Simple, as all things should be.

[@conzmoleman]

i mean, yeah, sure, same obviously. but this unoriginal joke/comment format should have died at least 5 years ago

[@planet23k]

So do I : )

[@bro89174]

This is definitely an ancestor of the DOOM SLAYER

[@btv4120]

It's quite fascinating watching a pro like Zero Master employing the different mechanics (power-ups and their effects) here

[@pbabar1389]

Just finished my finals and this is the best gift to watch a new zero master video

[@Mate_Antal_Zoltan]

he's had enough Doom, now he's doing Heretic

[@arbtaras]

one of my first games i played. great memories. well done ZeroMaster

[@pinktooth5473]

Hell yeah Heretic !! Haven’t seen this game in a minute. When I was a kid I always thought the electricity gloves sounded like the McFlurry machine at McDonald’s heh. Keep up the awesome work, bro, cheers and stay up 🙏

[@nickd3157]

I knew zeromaster ran other games but this is the first time I have actually seen it, love ya work broseph!!!

[@DasPanoptikum]

A dream comes true, zeromaster playing Heretic. I'm gonna enjoy the heck out of this!

[@Dollar_Store_Cacodemon]

I friggin love Heretic. One of my all time faves. Awesome runs here dude, great to see these classic maps flown through in style 👍

[@robertosciotti5962]

Heretic ! This hit to the feeling so deep on me

[@CarmeloSantosF]

Everyday I fantasize about id developing an Heretic fps reboot. Dark fantasy, cool creatures, fast as hell, inventory system, item drops from monsters.

[@metalvideos1961]

This game is made by Raven software

[@CarmeloSantosF]

@@metalvideos1961 yeah but Raven sucks, and id has great engines, thats why I want them to do it

[@metalvideos1961]

@@CarmeloSantosF if raven sucks then why did they make 2 good games heretic and hexen. makes no sense. all they did was using the ID tech engine they created the game on that engine. so you cant say that raven sucks.

[@CarmeloSantosF]

@@metalvideos1961 COD30 electric bogaloo now with funky mode ancient warfare WW11, 80gbs of skins, 20gbs of game, non-existant character design

[@aszahala]

@@metalvideos1961 Yeah, ID had practically nothing to do with Heretic's development. I think Raven did a great job with Heretic.

[@cparty7790]

Enemies in Heretic seem way more annoying to runs then Doom's enemies do at least, until you get the wings item lol. This was awesome to watch!

[@CapteinObvious]

I'm hoping to see Hexen next !

[@therealkingofrhye]

He did a Berserker Hexen speedrun 4 years ago, got it in approx 27min. A quick search and you'll find it 😊

[@garyrayner6330]

Wow! I love this game! Great content :)

[@Skibbi198]

Best part is, I can see small mistakes that cost like a second at most. I couldn't do any better at all but Zero can and will.

[@JonCurtin]

This game is total nostalgia. What an awesome childhood I had getting to play this game at 6 years old with my brother.

[@anton0425]

I don't know this game but I can see that this is Hella impressive and it looks hard and stressful. Good job Zero Master♡

[@BladeTrain3r]

The first game Raven made on the Doom engine. Cheap on Steam, runs on anything more modern than a Pentium Pro (in fact it ran swimmingly well on those), and if you've got a decent source port (gzdoom does the trick) it gets mouselook and all the other bells n whistles you wouldn't have had back in the (early) 90s.

[@RevenantFTS97]

Now the madman is playing Heretic! That is amazing! You do have some great skills. I mean, you finished E1M1 under 30 secs (never could beat that fast, best time around 40, a bit +, a bit -) and you also know how to keep momentum after stepping into a teleport (for some reason I always trigger it at E1M6 but in other maps I don't manage to perform it) Anyway, congratulations to the master. Would be really cool to see more non-Doom stuff in the future. Greetings

[@patrickvasconcelos3001]

Finnaly! how much I have waited for it. Glad to see you playing heretic, I hope you found ways to speed up this game even futher.

[@LastDollie]

Oooo, Zero Master plays Heretic!

[@apocalypticpioneers2116]

Whoa, that's cool as hell that DSDA-Doom supports Heretic now. I remember Dwars saying he wanted to start a Heretic Speed Demos Archive type deal, I bet he's gonna be happy about this

[@Edolin89]

Yes! The Master is at work!

[@andval256]

This brings back memories

[@Emperor_SPOON]

Watching this makes mme appreciate the level design in Heretic more. There's so many little fun non-secret areas in a given level that aren't necessary for progression but not too many to where it gets confusing. I kinda want to give it another replay, now.

[@ryanforgo3500]

One of my favorite childhood games of which i had completely forgotten about.

[@danin900]

Heretic, too? Nice. It's too much to ask, but I'd love to see Zero Master doing the Build engine games.

[@Fernito]

Look for King Mamba on KZbin, he's in my opinion the best duke3D/blood speedrunner out there

[@danin900]

@@Fernito thx, bro.

[@omfgbunder2008]

In before civvie sees this run and has a stroke from how easy you're making it look 🤣

[@epicness877]

This might be the coolest doom clone, at least that ive played. This game deserves some more attention

[@Flailfist_Jr]

not a clone but a major improvement & its sequel HeXen is even better , _way_ better (imo)

[@ThatHomestar]

heretic can be somewhat plodding in places, so it's fun to see it go fast

[@guillermojperea6355]

Very random level design, like Doom...

[@Hyacsho]

Man out here just being the absolute. Stellar gameplay dude, wow.

[@bluethunder8383]

Nice seeing other fps in you list of speed runs!

[@Jurgenzoon81207]

Good job zero master please continue doing this stuff

[@zxspectrumv7.157]

What's up, Zero Master, I just caught wind that you did a Heretic Speedrun. Congrats on it and hope you do more of this in the future. =)

[@mikenice182]

I don't think people realize how confusing this god damn game is lol kudos zero master

[@reltsnie]

blown away by the d'sparil fight, never knew about that secret invincibility ring either

[@stinkbomer]

Never got this far as a kid glad to see it’s done right here

[@TheMylittletony]

if Sonic the hedgehog played Heretic. That trickjump at 8.28 really made me laugh. Brilliant.

[@FR4M3Sharma]

This is the most close I've gotten to playing Heretic or Hexen.

[@themetalcatacombs3790]

My jaw somewhere on the floor. But i'm not going to pull it back, I watch this and i couldn't imagine before how cheaty heretic can be done, if you virtuouso.

[@lordjzargo7940]

Just finished Heretic for the first time, I'm impressed!

[@skaaa6298]

No way you just play this Love it

[@arturom31]

i personally love this game more than Doom. I think is because of the magical theme. It's interesting to see how the use of items plays an important role on the run. That leads me to think that maybe a solo run of a level is slower than running that same level on a full run. i know your name from Karl Jobs channel. keep on making runs of Heretic please :)

[@BlueLightningSky]

Holy shit, Heretic finally has a widescreen demo compatible source port.

[@Danlovar]

You make Doom engine games fall in the legendary bag.

[@Prompeius]

Heretic!!! You are truly spoling us mate!

[@stefanmoravcik598]

Carrying the Wings of Wrath over to the next level should be considered illegal for this guy :)

[@lancebaylis3169]

The epicness on display here is off the scale. I can't even applaud this enough. On a side note, Heretic's soundtrack is pretty cool eh?

[@_antares031]

*Rippeth and Teareth*

[@Marcinkowski]

Zero Master speed running Heretic? YES PLEASE !!!!!

[@BladeTrain3r]

Good stuff, I'd even say excellent stuff :D Heretic was always my favourite of the original Doom engine bunch. Hexen speedrun would certainly be interesting for the sequence breaks... but maybe Quake or a Build game could do it too... Anyway, good run, can see you're not quite as intimately familiar with the maps as Doom but hot damn you still finish episodes in less time than it takes me to do most of the levels.

[@budavargas]

Zero Master: “So there is this book that makes your weapons super awesome for the rest of the map” Random heretic player: “Dude, it lasts only for 40 seconds” Zero Master: “Huh? Really?”

[@TheReal_DoomSlayer]

The king has returned

[@devanwoodruff7289]

I thought my life was complete... until now

[@Cubeface]

Good memories of running this game and getting made fun of by Dime lol, good shit Zeromaster! That wings of wrath glitch changes everything!

[@ZeroMaster]

thanks :)

[@nikitost0p85]

Legend!

[@hanselchan1232]

And Zero Master evolves into another ascendancy. He is already the Archangel of War having succeeded Michael, he is Heaven's Hitman having surpassed Daniel Garner, he is the Ultimate Human having proven superior to the Nephalem, he is the true Doom Slayer having rendered all other false idols impotent, and now... He is THE Sidhe, first among all the ancient elves of Parthoris. Zero Master... He is undefeated. He is unbroken... And most importantly, HE NEVER STOPS ASCENDING.

[@phaodaimotnguoi-1manfortress]

A surprise for sure,but a welcome one

[@HobeyDator]

NEXT UP! Zero Master Will Conquer Doom 3 Nightmare Mode.

[@chriswelcome8102]

I'm a few months late but I was just going through the abandonware website when I chanced upon this game. Of course Zero Master is the guy who appeared first when I searched up Heretic speedrun lol

[@rabbitcreative]

8:28 That's some Matrix-level shit right there. Wow.

[@thunder____]

Uh oh, here comes Zero Meister to fuck the rankings lmao. Also, I never knew about the Wings of Wrath glitch, that's super cool

[@popgas3821]

I often watch Dwars for all Hereric content and Zero Master just did the base five episodes in one go 😂. I believe he’s not unfamiliar with Raven since I saw him do a speedrun for Hexen at one point.

[@dmitrylavrov5708]

31:27 whaat? :D E4 and E5 speedruns are masterpieces

[@vaiyt]

Doom's infamous bar glide, now in heretic

[@ryanforgo3500]

I remember another game in my childhood where we start with a dark area with either a knife or nothing in front of a broken gate above some water and soon after we find a knife/sword "can't tell what was the progression exactly"

[@魏子翔-x9c]

I like playing this PC game forever!

[@BilltheFifth]

Is there any ring that this living legend doesn't throw his hat into?

[@nikomorello1711]

Огромный лайк тебе за спидран игры детства 😍👍🏻

[@SandroWalach]

I wonder how this would look from the other side? "Yo, Demon Bob, I'm back from lunch, did I miss anything?" "Well there was this dude who just ran in, killed Pain Pauline and everyone one else in a straight line toward our Master, killing him soon after aswell, our moat bridge wasn't even even able close before he ran out after killing everyone." "Ohhh... So who will pay us now?"

[@tyler_dtm]

Oh, i love old FPS)

[@cocalero]

This was so fun to watch 😂

[@Ra9Kali]

this is just magickal

[@The73rdSecret]

Damn that's fast! I sucked at this game when I was younger

[@themetalcatacombs3790]

Zero Master as Corvus in 19:45 : BTW Screw you all

[@MemoxWasHere]

Call me an Heretic, but I loved this game slightly more than Doom. Slightly.

[@sarpsarp8987]

You'd be killed for being an Heretic in middle age.

[@swaikstan2604]

Hyped for Hexen and Hexen 2.

[@shemsuhor8763]

Bless you, this is beautiful. Hexen run when? ❤

[@MordacksOrgan]

31:28 I’m guessing it’s quicker to get through E5M9 than it is to get to the normal exit in E5M3?
