Hexen - Berserker Difficulty Speedrun in

[@42percenthealth]

"You have played this game too long, mortal." Funny thing to say to a guy who has conquered 3/5 of your world in under 20 minutes, LOL! :-P Excellent run, buddy!

[@Annokh]

He's a master of many worlds, sure he knows how many runs it took :P

[@mattsmith5253]

This game can be tedious and monotonous, but it's charming overall. Like a lot of fantasy games in this era, Hexen is colorful and vibrant with a lot of nice details to environment, character, and prop design; the architecture is well done also.

[@radscorpion8]

That's also what I like about older games, when you played them you knew they were generally going to take a long time to complete so you get a lot of value out of them. As graphics improved I think it cost more dev resources to build worlds of the same length. Only one exception to this was the original half life, which looked pretty good at the time

[@CDeeez94]

Thank you for reminding me of this game. I haven’t seen it since my childhood

[@Valduria]

20:23 You bat-riding son of a gun, you fiery demon hopping operator.

[@Cubeface]

That's AWESOME! Fantastic job finding those glides. Now I'm wondering why I never thought of that :D You're amazing, Zero Master!

[@ZeroMaster]

Thanks cubeface! as you probably noticed the rest of the run wasn't that great, so someone should improve it :)

[@Spectans1]

This took me a week to finish and you did it in less than 30 mins, insane.

[@alaididnalid7660]

How the hell do you remember your way through those mazes lol

[@ActivelyVacant]

22:45 When you go from a boss enemy in one game, to a platform in the next.

[@martin_323]

That wasn't an enemy but a Dark Servant item. You can spawn those to help you kill monsters. To transport to the platform on the same level he used a Chaos Device. Chaos Device teleports you to the beginning of a level.

[@umbaupause]

@@martin_323 Even though these comments are very old... The Maulotaur is a boss from Heretic, which was reused as an item in Hexen.

[@Dollar_Store_Cacodemon]

Well... that's one way to kill a Heresiarch! Its insane to see this awesome, brutally difficult game I spent soooo long as a kid playing get demolished in under half an hour lol

[@tomjensen2572]

I love the riding the effrit up in castle of grief. Very entertaining speedrun!

[@daemonprince13]

Do you think you'll ever speedrun Heretic?

[@ChuckRuledTheWorld]

He did! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHiQXqCIqrqIgKc

[@fedupN]

Woof. I sucked at this game but I loved the lore and playing it with a friend. It amazing you could play through it so quickly.

[@victorhugor.m.1554]

24:37 is that...r-a-p-e?

[@jordanmcminn998]

The enemies at the beginning really didn't want you to speed run

[@Kepesk]

I forgot how much of the screen the hud takes up in vanilla. Damn...

[@Ch0wW]

Well, the run is just AWESOME. Congrats mate :D

[@KAZUNARl]

they made a remake of doom... why not of hexen?

[@ТарасБерезняк-д6ы]

Big explorable levels with puzzles? Modern gamers are too stupid for this.

[@CMONCMON007]

That would be incredible. Love this series

[@CMONCMON007]

@Shallex I think its also Activision has regulated Raven Software to only doing CoD maps. Which is unfortunate they made some great games,I think last game they made was Singularity back in 2010

[@CMONCMON007]

@Shallex that makes sense. Cause the earlier games were produced and published by id, now they with Bethesda...and Hexen 2 published by Activision

[@romanmary9155]

and heretic too

[@vicioenviciado6999]

Este juego tiene demasiados puzzles y terminarlo en 30 min es de locos Felicidades amigo

[@1G0R03]

These sound effects are so meaty! I fuckin love it :)

[@sotiriskosmas7133]

why do you say this ?

[@undead.rising]

Arguably then, the Shadow Wood hub is the hardest hub, as it is the least-skippable.

[@loupax]

Haven’t played Hexen yet but was that a bell of awakening??

[@РусланЗаурбеков-з6е]

Standing on the Maulotaur to get the Axe key?? Nice )))

[@sarpsarp8987]

I could not even finish this game on the easiest difficulty but I finished all 5 episodes of Heretic on the hardest difficulty. Is it funny?

[@dazzer7986]

Scythe II Run would be awesome :D

[@0ktober]

Totally agreed, that or Hell Revealed I or II.

[@user-fu1jy7jr3z]

Can you complete Hexen on titan, please? I think you can do this.

[@escalate1629]

You got Hexen speedrun but no Heretic?)

[@MrCantStopTheRobot]

Funny hearing all the sounds and design styles that LucasArts recycled into Dark Forces.

[@1G0R03]

Wait did they really do that?

[@MrCantStopTheRobot]

@@1G0R03 I'm too lazy to check it again, but off the top of my head, the punch is the same, and I think a bottle / magical item pickup in Hexen is used as the item pickup in DF. Just listen.

[@maiyannah]

MrCantStopTheRobot Many of the Doom and related games used a common set of Lucas published stock sounds. Decino had some good info about it in his video about Doom sounds.

[@nurhanazhari1644]

To this day I still dont understand how this game works.

[@ayutac4056]

Zero Master using Save Games? My, what a discovery xD

[@xMrGreeneJeansx]

Good run!

[@KnifePlushie]

This game would be too scary for me to play

[@granatengustl]

Nice run.

[@andrearovenski]

Plan on submitting this to speedrun.com?

[@ZeroMaster]

I don't plan on making any more runs outside of doom, so I can't be bothered to.

[@questionmark194]

Hi cyber

[@michaelpaglia3219]

Awesome..hexen .haven't seen it in many years

[@ikagura]

I need to play Heretic and Hexen somedays

[@ar_xiv]

do deathkings! I thought it was a better set of levels

[@siavashdavani6169]

Why didn’t play “Heretic shadow of the serpent riders” ? That was so nice like Doom and Hexen, you can try it

[@chuck7538]

Nice video!

[@WhiteMagicRaven]

@Zero Master look "HeXen: Beyond Heretic Fighter in 8:57 WR" search in youtube, i think you can learn even more

[@YvesVroemen]

so much work for two screenshots with text. Times have changed.. difficulty hasn't I guess.. This difficulty is monsterous!

[@sarpsarp8987]

Is a hardest difficulty speedrun coming for Heretic and Hexen?

[@ar_xiv]

What’s the glowing flask at 1:50 ? Never seen that before

[@ameralkhateeb5038]

its a quartz flask spawning.

[@Kenonrus]

Hi, how did you run hexen on the Crispy Doom v3.2 ???

[@smaariseth]

Got these games on Steam, but my computer can`t play them :( Sad seeing as it wouuld be sooo cool to play them again after all these years!

[@ZeroMaster]

I'm not sure what the issue is, but have you tried using a sourceport like crispy-hexen? you can download it here (it says doom but it includes heretic and hexen) www.greffrath.com/~fabian/crispy-doom_3.2.zip

[@onlyelectro8924]

Get the games out of your steam Folder. download Zdoom and place the files in the Zdoom map folder. open the Zdoom.exe file and play the game. very simple

[@smaariseth]

Amazing! This worked like a charm! Thanks!

[@ikagura]

@@onlyelectro8924 GZDoom because Zdoom is kinda dead now

[@paweo.8193]

What did you play this game on ?

[@juangiraldo5108]

18:59 how???

[@PerfectionismTech]

Bugs with how collision was implemented when standing on top of monsters/decorations was added.

[@duncangarnett1976]

Is this stretched to 16:9? i play through gzdoom and it looks better than this.

[@KingHenselt]

Крутая игра

[@tenacious645]

Dude you run Hexen too? nice...How do I get Doom and doom2 to run on the competition source port? I want to be able to do glides and submit times, but zdoom doesn't seem to be good for either of those things. I have the Iwads for doom2 but for whatever reason, the source port you have listed under your Doom 2 run WONT let me play the game. I select it can hit run and it just does nothing.

[@ZeroMaster]

Just this one run... I've never ran into that problem before so I can't help you, you can try a different sourceport like prboom+, chocolate doom or crispy doom if you can't get it to work. I'd recommend prboom+ and reading parts of this thread on doomworld forums: www.doomworld.com/vb/doom-speed-demos/18410-welcome-to-the-demos-forum-prboom-plus-usage-wad-and-irc-links-general-info/

[@tenacious645]

Zero Master Thanks man, look forward to doom runs in the future.

[@13Olish]

Hi Tenacious, Prboom is a really nice source port but it is quite a challenge to glide when compared to CNDoom. The graphics and fluidity with Chocolate doom are quite bad. The best option is still CNDoom. Have you tried to download it on another link?

[@tenacious645]

13Olish I have, but i've had trouble finding reliable links that I trust. I'm not sure if it's the source port or the WADs...I was inclined to think it's the source port because the WADs play on Zdoom without error.

[@isscaredofspoons4779]

Definitely wasn't close to dying at the end or anything...

[@SilverMiner]

Why not titan?

[@madunwerkstatt3093]

oooh my god, i can't even complete this game on lowest difficulty setting.

[@user-fv5fq]

Wait... How is it possible???

[@bradleydollin9560]

Legend.

[@arv_is]

how old is this game

[@ТарасБерезняк-д6ы]

Which port do u use?

[@ТарасБерезняк-д6ы]

Do you want make TAS speedrun?

[@andrezinholee]

Esse jogo marcou minha infância! Hexen, Heretic, Doom, Rise of The Triad, Duke Nukem 3d, Shadow Warrior, Blood, Quake 1, e Team Fortress Classic(Dentro do Quake, não do Half Life) Hje estou jogando Overwatch e não tenho saco pra C.S GO não.

[@Chittamw00d]

Haha moving to Hexen on me huh? lol jk This was fun Zero.

[@jaromor8808]

i feel sorry for the past Me :)

[@janglad6158]

If you have spare time go for some Heretic too :) you will learn it fast!

[@MaxRideWizardLord]

fighter is too overpowered for speedrun

[@SickzorOne]

11:57 imo one of the worst switches in the game, who puts a switch in a fireplace? CMON MAP DESIGNERS GIVE ME A BREAK.

[@RomanceJones]

Why didnt i know about this game XD

[@Annokh]

It was absolutely outstanding for its time. I played it several years after its release and it still managed to blow me away with its level design complexity. Granted, it's a matter of opinion (not everyone is a fan of "pull a lever, go see what changed on another map" design philosophy), but still.

[@mysteriousstranger2287]

This is wonderful. (This opinion could be expressed with a simple click on the "Like" button, but I think a comment carries more weight.)

[@bostjanbizjak3952]

Best game Like

[@unikvseru]

ТОП

[@魏子翔-x9c]

This PC is super easy too.

[@GuilhermeOliveira-sz7mj]

Com certeza vou tentar

[@123TauruZ321]

This game uses the same snarling sound from Duke Nukem 3d from those furry tiger striped monsters that shoot with pistols. What a shameless ripoff.

[@666DeaDMaN999]

bugs using is like a cheating. this speedrun is cheating

[@davidchez513]

dead_man yeah, whatever man :D

[@squishymada]

Bugs are the foundation of speedrunning... if it's in the game then it's fair game.

[@666DeaDMaN999]

Cheats also are in the game

[@squishymada]

dead_man cheats are explicitly banned though. Bugs are utilized in thousands of speedruns and are accepted as legitimate. Like in LoZOOT where to speedrun you fight Ganon in kid form with a deku stick.

[@ikagura]

Haha what? Do you know the rules of an any% run?
