Master Levels (100%) Walkthrough (Manor.wad)

[@SinCity2100]

RIP Jim Flynn... Even though I'm not a fan of this map in particular, his map was made with love and care, his other map however is a map that I like, it's very sad that we also lost Dr.Sleep, I'm a fan of Dr.Sleep's level design, a style that inspired to mappers I know.

[@BigMacDavis]

RIP Jim Flynn and Dr. Sleep, two excellent mappers.

@@BigMacDavis oh god time to play some doom once again, although im not all that sure on the setup side, i should download zdoom or what to access these extra set of custom maps ? doom gives big nostalgia and when i found bigmacdavis with his superb guides and so pleasent voice couple years ago i did go the regular dooms with the ultraviolence 100% through and it was an experience! Found new places i didnt know existed when i was a kid :P

[@crookeddy]

@@Dimens1oner I am here 4 years later hoping you got back into Doom, and stayed in it! The community has never been better.

[@SkyfallHD36]

Titan Manor was a pretty cool map. Combining all the gameplay elements(like enemies on the outside walls) along with parts that make it actually look like a manor. Which was done pretty well, like with the bedroom and the library. Looks like classic mid 90s doom art design to me lol, I love it. Awesome video man

[@BigMacDavis]

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed! :)

[@samuelantoniocastillomeza5034]

Beautiful map. Nice puzzles with subtle hints, neat looking spaces and no instant screw ups (looking at all the previous maps with pits where you couldn't get out). Also, nice from Jim to actually give descriptions and details of his maps at the menu.

[@BigMacDavis]

Agreed with everything you say. One of my favorite master levels maps.

[@tommy8058]

Jim Flynn John Anderson (Dr Sleep) Ty Halderman Don Ivan Punchatz (cover art) These legends may gone but their work stays forever in our hearts and brains. Thanks Jeff for remembering these guys by playing and explaining this games that we all so love.👍👊🤘❤

[@BigMacDavis]

Awesome, my friend, these people live on.

[@crookeddy]

@@BigMacDavis I believe there are now more people on Earth that were born after Doom came out than before. I think AD should be restarted to 1994. AD = After Doom BD = Before Doom. (I know Doom came out in '93, but come on, it was December) Anyway, my point is that a lot of people who weren't even born when these levels were made are still experiencing the work of these legends! A type of immortality.

[@megasphere308]

Hi BMD! What a great map. For sure this guy had talent and imagination. It's creative, intelligent, consistent... and your commentary is entertaining as usual ^^ Can't wait to see the second map!

[@BigMacDavis]

I have really fond memories of this map back in the day. Jim Flynn was such an innovative mapper. He did work at TNT though not on Evilution. He designed a few excellent maps for Eternal Doom in 1996, Maps 25 and 26, one of the secret maps (33) and the bonus map CyberSweeper. RIP, Jim, I hope they play Doom in Heaven! Oh, and great playthrough, Big Mac!

Truely a level designed by someone who understood, loved, and appreciated Doom. Sure levels with 100's of enemies are fun, but the level needs purpose beyond a complete massacre...well...those levels are kinda fun too now that I think of it. I was digging through my pile of CD's the other day and found this disc. I thought for sure I'd tossed it...now I can do my happy Doom dance!

[@BigMacDavis]

8:12 - I always found it funny and interesting how people tend to mock the box elevators of TNT map 19, yet conveniently ignore the blatant box elevators of Plutonia that occur right from the get-go (map 1, super shotgun + Archvile room...not only does Doomguy get a box elevator for himself, but even the Archvile also has its own special box elevator too! Box elevators for everyone, hooray, everyone's a winner!)...but hey, the Casalis are absolutely perfect and can do no wrong anywhere and would never EVER do such foolish things...

Jim Flynn, one of my favourite Doom mappers of the 90s. His maps require a lot of ingenuity, but once you figure them out, they are very rewarding and offer so much enjoyment. May he rest in peace, and the same for Dr. Sleep, another mapper for The Master Levels, who passed away about a month after Jim Flynn. Even Ty Halderman of Team TNT, he was another legend who passed away back in 2015, he helped keep up the interest in Doom, having mainted the idgames archive for 18 years since 1997, and revitalised Doom when he alongside Jim Flynn, created the Boom source port. This map is both fun and adventurous. For more of Jim Flynn, check out his standalone Titan wads, Eternal Doom, Interdiction Zone, Oracle (done jointly with another Doom mapper named Scott Harper), and the Enigma Episode.

[@BigMacDavis]

Wow, so knowledgeable, thank you, my friend! :D

[@dracorex6876]

Yup, it's great to be a huge Doom geek. :D You're welcome! ^^

[@Zdenda1990]

This map is basically one big puzzle. You can also get the automap secret by running across the wall when it's lowering.

I do not know if that interface still exists. Or, I played the disc. Either way it is possible to play the megawad, this explains the numerous goodies you can find toward the end of many levels Keep it on !

Welcome back! Good to see you again! :D

[@crookeddy]

What do you think of these super long levels? I haven't played this one yet, but overall I find the sweet spot to be 15-20 minutes. Those mega long levels like some in No End In Sight just get old like 30-40 minutes in.

[@jasonberezowski2869]

It surprises me how many people don't like this map. Yes, it's very hectic and can be a bit confusing if you havent explored the map before but to me it is just so enjoyable. It really isnt too hard, just requires you to take your time and methodically go room by room.

[@PALGAMER630]

Oooh boy... TITAN MANOR... This map was a ball ache doing it blind for the first time. In fact, I got so confused on what to do I had to resort to using a walkthrough just to complete it. Personally I think this map should be a little less confusing to understand for newer players. Aesthetically speaking this map be one of, if not the most realistic maps ever made for DooM II back in the mid 90's. (Not so) fun fact: The entire length of this video I think was shorter than my end time doing this map by a few seconds.

[@BigMacDavis]

Lol, yeah, my play style is slow. I have no regrets, haha. ;D

[@laughingatbirds]

I can’t access the switch to lower the blue key 😭

[@FrankieStardust]

one of the better Master Levels overall, but the part with the fireplace is very confusing and kinda ruined my first playthrough. that usable wall is not marked at all iirc, found it only by randomly bumping every single wall in the map which took quite a bit of time, as you can guess. and it feels very random, not satisfying. i could see the wall right in front of the hurting floor being usable, tried it immediately, but the one on the right? doesn't make sense to me. still, one of the more creative levels in the pack.

[@BigMacDavis]

That is one of my complaints for this map even though I forgot to mention it. Indeed I agree.
