ULTRA NIGHTMARE Guide and Tips for DOOM Eternal

[@solomon9655]

So basically, beating Ultra Nightmare on consoles gets you into the Salty Spitoon.

[@JefferyDavisJr.]

Yes

[@lunararmy1624]

Nah gotta beat it with the dance pad and bongo set

[@maciekjoker9095]

Man, in UN you can checkpoint the game - when you have a last chance rune and damage show you this last chance (silver screen) you press home button on pad and open the game again. I beat UN with 95 tries :) but i finish :)

[@TheSpudHunter]

Such a tricky spot, gotta use those explosive zombies - can be tricky sometimes when the low tier demons get in the way!

[@megatlshepard-1621]

@@TheSpudHunter Definitely. At first, I tried to do it on my own, or I just wasted cueballs (bomb zombies) on those fodder demons, and it was hell. But once I realized what id software was hinting me to do there, it becomes much more manageable.

[@Killomainia]

Have a few tricks to that one without using the explody bois. Save the fuel tank from the previous arena and grab the one there to have 3. There are 4 waves, first just soldiers and shield bois, second has a whiplash coming from the exit door, third a spider boi from the entrance and the final the two mancubi from both. This should give you some direction and preparation for them dropping in. With the mancubi, freeze one of them and go chainsaw the other one with your 3 fuel. Should immediately eliminate one and give some crowd control. Then use a chrono strike assault rifle shot to take the cannons off the other one to make it less threatening. Just yeet a grenade around the arena to elongate some trash to make it easier as well.

[@novakastmusic]

The first wall, to monkey bar around the corner, is what ruined my flow and.............my controller.

I should mention that I backed up my save after every mission (PS4), good luck slayer!

[@dansbigfanguitarist]

American Inquisition right, but what happens when you need to dash, switch to SSG, dash 2x, switch to rocket launcher, ballista, heavy cannon, SSG, ballista, etc. eventually, you just can do all the advanced weapon switching WHILE moving fast, unless you haven the weapons wheel timing down to the frame. It’s really difficult, and I’m still practicing this.

Andy York If u are on console use the aim snapping to use the percussions scope mod to take out any weak points cause it’s the easiest and fastest way to damage them. Shotgun ballista are ur best friends late game. And early game first 3 levels save up ur upgrade points to use it on the rocket launcher lock on and scope mod . The doom hunter I used the super shotgun first phase, it does like 1/4 of the doom hunters health if all pellets land close range. And second phase lock on mod pretty much insta kills. Lock on mod is broke, use it on mancubus cause they are more retarded then the marauder in my opinion.

The gladiator though was a different story, the jump rope attack was kinda random at times and then his charges sometimes didn't register me hitting him during the green eyes his two hit attack was a nightmare that I almost never managed to dodge and then when he walks twords you spinning the chain to attackI stead of charging at you I was almost never able to get away from him

I hate arachnotrons in the first parts of the campaign

[@baconwrapple8733]

Ding Dong here’s a tip for the first few arachnotrons. You can easily skip the first three arachnatrons in the level. When you first get your chainsaw, you’ll face an arena right after filled with possessed, imps, and zombie men. When you first pickup the chainsaw, it is fully charged so it has 3 uses. In the arena, there is one gas canister (so +1 use). In that arena, you mainly want to just use the sticky grenades on the shotgun, and make sure you only chainsaw ONCE and that you do not pick up the gas canister in that arena. One you finish that arena, your chainsaw should be at 2/3 fuel, and then you should go pick up the gas canister that you purposely didn’t pick up to be at 3/3 fuel again. Head forward and kill the priest. Continue forward and run past everything up until the first arachnotron. Assuming you didn’t chainsaw any of the fodder on your way there, you can immediately kill the arachnatron with the chainsaw. After that kill all the enemies in that area as you would, but make sure you do NOT pick up the gas canister in that area. By now the gate should open up, letting you get the heavy cannon, before you grab it, let your chainsaw refill back up to 1/3 fuel, then pick up the gas canister that you purposely didn’t pick up. You should be at 2/3 fuel. Pick up the heavy cannon and move forward. There’s one more mandatory combat arena before you can grab the yellow key card, and it includes an arachnotron. Once you go past the giant fallen bell and you get to the wide open area that usually has the fodder infighting, immediately run past all of them and pick up the gas canister in that area, and you should be at 3/3 fuel. Immediately jump down and chainsaw the arachnotron. Kill all the enemies in that area, grab the yellow key card and proceed as usual into the subway. When you get to the section where the arachnotron spawns down there in the subway, just run past it straight to the mod pot and get the precision bold for the heavy cannon. Pray you don’t get stuck or shot as you run to the mod bot. Once you get the scope, grab you grenade launcher and just move forward. Ignore most of the enemies in the subway. By now you should have the shotgun, heavy cannon with mod, and grenade launcher, thus making the rest of this level marginally easier. Using this strategy let’s you consistently get past hell on earth. Found it on reddit you might have some use for it :)

On DOOM 2016 I felt like the very first battle was one of the hardest on UN because you are so weak and enemies coughing on you kills you.

This actually gives me a little more faith in beating ultra nightmare. I honestly didnt think I'd be up to it getting trounced in the first room twice by imps and soldiers, but I kept getting a little bit farther each time after that, and a lot of what you went over in this video are things I've been finding out on my own, but really makes a lot of the last pieces fit into place for me mentally. I'm glad I was on the right track with things like the weapon points and runes, and I'm SUPER glad I'm not the only one who considers cultist base to be the real final gate to continuing the run. Mancubus and cacademons have been my bane, and whiplashes have always been a pain in my ass, so seeing someone else give real credence to their threat and damage output really gives some relief that "no, its not because I suck, they just deal insane damage, or can ping-pong you around and combo you out of existence and everyone struggles with them at that point in the game." Really liked the explanation of the importance of having those tight weapon groups on the keyboard too. I've been using the weapon wheel just because I havent made it past the cultist base in my run, so I can see how that would be essential later in the campaign to get that worked out ahead of time for when I get those weapons. Cheers mate, glad I saw your vid.

P.s. thank you for promoting air mobility! It seems people don't use it apart me and a few others lol

[@SomeAustrianGuy_]

The Arc Complex fight was the worst. Died like 3-4 times... But in the end, it was so good beating it.

[@zeloteus2677]

Nice! That weapon switch though... I strugle with remembering to use grenades! To much going on :D

[@itsgudstuf6485]

One Tip i would like to add is to make Dash's secondary bind to be Caps Lock. It's a life saver when you accidentally press caps instead of shift.

[@RyuFromFort]

Hey man thank you so much for this guide. Like really. I’m at 6 am right now and I just beat ultra nightmare on Xbox thanks to this video and Draqu’s ultra nightmare run. You were a huge part for me completing it and I can’t thank you enough! 😃

[@fall-neckthetallneck2977]

What tips did you find the most helpful?

[@EchoSoul92]

I've been looking all over for a video like this. They key binds to weapons and people quick switch is a challenge I'm trying to learn. Thank you 🙏

[@dzengiztafa510]

I recently binded my mouse scroll up for Rocket launcher & mouse scroll down to balista. Friggin fast now. Going a lot better than before. E is Super shotgun.

[@Silverlol]

Weapons wheel breaks momentum, *laughs in controller*

[@Ressario17]

Thanks for this vid... I've done it on every difficulty instead of ultra nightmare as I'm too scared to do it

[@dopeybrew7006]

I feel like I’m really missing out playing this game on console.

[@LaggyLuke]

Thats how it is for all fps games. I play lots of games on console but fps games are just nothing on console compared to pc experience.

[@Phoenix-qv9hg]

The additional buttons and mouse aim make a big difference for fast paced fps games.

[@spudmagnum7394]

SmvR is like the best fuckin doom player and hes on console ahaha

[@ADeadlierSnake]

Really not sure what the appeal of consoles in this day and age is besides IP. If you can get a game on PC, it's always going to be the better experience.

[@DreadSauce]

Thank you for this. I will be playing Ultra-Violence to practice for Ultra-Nightmare. Whiplashes are the bane of me

[@СВЭП-и4ф]

I remember how after couple of 1-3 seconds deaths I realized key Doom concept: you can't stay and one point trying to overfire demons. Interesting that it is not amount or level of enemies that defines hardness of doom fight, but how much space you have. Couple of mancubus or whiplashes in close corners is much harder that 30-50 mobs on big arena

[@CombatKoke]

Thank you so much for the tips! I'm trying really hard to beat ultra-nightmare, and its been tough, but I think this will help!

[@JosiahBradley]

Nice guide. I'm really hoping I can do this in the future one day. Thanks!

[@Metalweasel]

Badass vid, gonna use some of these tips in going from Extra Life Mode to UN.

[@dudeitsivan]

I dont really understand the hype around air control. Maybe I need to give it a better chance, because a lot of people seem to love it... but I just feel like health from blood punch helps me more

[@SurfbyShootin]

Air control is essential for me but it's mostly for a more aerial styled play. If you meathook launch in the air, the air control rune gains great value, like closing distance for a blood punch.

[@thechurchoflucio5709]

i cant play without it

[@RazorPhoenix7]

Iirc DraQu doesn't use air control and he got through Ultra-Nightmare atleast twice already.

[@ashleybrown1620]

Air control was my favourite rune from 2016. First rune I unlocked in Eternal. I can't play without it. It just feels sluggish.

[@Phoenix-qv9hg]

Many people who enjoy it are former quake pros/players, as it feels very similar to the amount of aircontrol in that game.

[@Syyzygyy]

Keyboard gameplay looks soooo much cleaner than controller. Thanks for the tips and explanations- going for that GOOOooOooold!

[@JPRequiem]

I feel like i've got a lot better, first playthrough I was very ridged with movement. Unfortunately i'm restricted by the console and having to use the weapon wheel, main weapon combo I got is Super Shotgun and Balista as contollers allow the switch between 2 weapons. Great video, trying on nightmare atm

[@SumBoy0nline]

Thanks for this I only need one more achievement and this is it

[@brandonjackson6343]

“HuR DeR BUT I DON’T WANT TO LEARN THE GAME MECHANICS AND PLAY THAT WAY” - some entitled gamer, probably

[@musicsheep9816]

I just want the skin, but I can't do Ultra Nightmare due to having bad motor skills with my hands. Far as I can get is to the mall plaza near the end of the first level...

[@etkruger]

Your content is so great to watch and listen to. These are great tips, even being on PS4, the only tip I couldn’t use was the controller configure config, but this video helped me get through the first couple levels of UN. Thanks for this, your channel is gonna get huge, i can tell!

[@OrcCorp]

Great tips bro! Although I'd say at least 90% of the gamer base will never be able to play through the UN. Simply lacking ths needed accuracy, reflexes and the ability to laser focus on any game that requires hyper awareness. Most casual gamers won't get through this even if they tried really hard for months on end. I myself most likely would get through it if I really wanted, but I'm not into breaking my mental stability for it, I lack the patience and interest. I absolutely lost my mind on the hard difficulty with the latest God of War, so I know better now to avoid the UN in this game. Getting too old for this shit 🤘🏻😂 Thanks for the vid anyway!

[@philj9594]

Chances are you couldn't do it either man. This is one of the hardest things that has ever been conceived in a game and 90% is way too conversative of an estimate. More like 99.99%.

[@roberte2945]

"Most people couldn't do this. I probably could, because I've got a massive dong."

[@versevica]

Dude your quick switching game is on point!

[@lucaswilletts2690]

I love the fact that he’s more of a bot on pc with the wheel selection than any console user in existence. It’s not hard mate

[@Phoenix-qv9hg]

Thats cause you dont need to learn it, since induvidual buttons are way faster than wheel selection could ever be.

[@philj9594]

Well, as a PC player we hate any sort of wheel system like that as they are completely irrelevant on mouse and keyboard and only serve to frustrate the player. With a console, the wheels are a necessity, so it makes sense that console players would be more skilled at using weapon wheels than this guy.

[@wurmalex2879]

Little tip for the kitchen fight in Arc complex, after you pick up the Beserker, try to go into the portal. The kitchen has a trigger that spawns a pinky and if youre already pressured by all those mancubus and Whipslashes he can realy fuck up your day. Usually pick up the beserk after i kill the 2 starter mancubus and the Arachnotron that spawns right after you kill them. That usually gives me enough time to kill the kitchen pinky, all the whipslashes and the Cyber mancubus that spawns after you kill those. Rest should be picked up easily.

[@infinitedeath1384]

I already beat ultra nightmare. I never even looked up any tips videos for it. Quick switching isn't everything. I only used it for the marauder fights. I used my ssg on demons from fodder up to the arachnotron. When it comes to heavy demons, rocket bursts are better than quick switching. You can fire them pretty fast with each lock on when it is fully upgraded. Each rocket does the same damage as one regular rocket, which means you're firing 3 rockets at full damage, in a shorter amount of time. I don't do the mastery on it, as that messes up my playstyle. The arbelest is also better than quick switching for the pain elementals. I play on ps4, so i've gotten used to the weapon wheel, and can switch weapons quite efficiently during combat. You can quick switch by having ssg or ballista as the last weapons you swapped to. Quick switching is only needed for the marauder fights. You can get through everything else without it. So rather than saying the game is designed for quick switching, it's more like the marauder was designed to make you quick switch between the ballista and ssg. edit: wow your build is almost exactly like mine. The only difference is i save my points in the cultist base for the ssg so i can master it sooner. That way i have it mastered at the beginning of the doom hunter base. After i upgrade the ssg, then i upgrade the rocket burst mod. So from the beginning to the end, i upgrade sticky bombs, ssg, rocket burst, heat blast, arbelest, mobile turret, and lastly precision shot. I do precision shot last, as it's really just a tool to get rid of weak points. That's all i use the heavy cannon for. Also, i get the faster dash refill first, as that is a necessity for quickly getting around the map, and dodging projectiles. Then i go faster weapon swap, faster ledge grab, then i focus on ice grenade.

[@MisterL777]

Faster = better You can down pain elementals faster with quick switching than with 2 arbalest shots (unless it's very far) You don't "need" it, but it certainly helps

[@infinitedeath1384]

@@MisterL777 there's really not much of a difference though. I mean you don't have to use quick switching all the time to be considered good at doom. Like i said i only use it on marauders.

[@Phoenix-qv9hg]

Does console get aim assist btw?

[@valentinivanov7825]

Here are a few more tips from me.1)always try to leave a single zombie alive at the end of battle and use Flame Belch on it multiple times to completely refill armor 2)for those of you using the time slow rune don't forget to expend it after every battle so it can refill before next battle 3)if you have 3 chainsaw pips you can use it to insta-kill tough or annoying demons that are not bosses.

[@TheScribe1.0]

My first playthrough it took me 2 hours to beat the Icon of Sin and I was playing on Ultra Violence.

Thanks for this. I wasn’t going to attempt it but now I will.

[@محمدعادل-ب1ه5ه]

this made me remember my key binding days in c9 and dragon nest those were good days thank you your video helped me a lot

[@jessjee9220]

At 8:52, if you're not confident doing this at the boss battle, do it in the 1st arena fight (one just after you get off the train and past the gate) of the Doom Hunter Base. Take out all heavy and fodder enemies except for one imp. That way, the game will spawn in low level zombies and you can farm the SSG mastery there. It will take longer, but it's safer.

[@chrisg5219]

Ngl that Goldmember impression was funny af

That part in cultist base where u unlock the rocket launcher and have to kill all those mancubii...frikin brutal man

[@lloytron9105]

insanely detailed video man thank you !

[@Sneaky-Snek]

i think i have a decent keybind Chain Saw - Scroll wheel down Super Shotty - E (interact remains as E as well for progression things like buttons ect) Balista - Q Punch F Shotgun - 1 Heavy cannon - 2 plasma rifle - 3 rocket launcher - 4 BFG - c crucible - v chaingun - 5 ( i have large hands and its not a problem to reach up to 7 very quickly, but i don't bind anything important past 6 Flamebelch - thumb button on mouse Grenades and switching grenade types are my other 2 thumb buttons, mouse is Razer Basilisk V2) dash - Lshift jump - space

[@bilyy99]

Thanks for the guide. I kept choking at Nekravol and Doom Hunter Base until I watched this.

[@TinyDragonGamer250]

I beat ultra nightmare once, it took many weeks. I did it after beating doom 2016 ultra nightmare which was much different. When I finished, the ending cutscene was playing and then my power went out due to a drunk driver. Saddest day of my life.

[@peet3449]

This arena at 1:39 is the one that killed me the most. I tend to spam the sticky grenade behind the marauder when his shield is up

[@michaeldost8155]

Spud, you’re a legend! Thanks to you, I finally sent the icon of sin on ultra nightmare to his grave and was granted the holy gold skin!

Thanks dude; I just got this game three days ago. Started on UltraNightmare, couldn’t beat the first mission. One day later I’m playing Extra Lives on Nightmare and it feels like Crash BandiDoom.

Wow, just tried your build on as nightmare difficulty master level and I can say that my survival rate shot up damn near 100%. Completed the run in one playthrough, but did lose some lives. I always thoug I needed the long stagger rune, but I guess not. Thanks much for making this video.

That berserk room in arc complex i just cant get passed without going down at least one time, on Nightmare.. that room is a nightmare

[@tarekmoneimsaid]

Also, the Plasma Rifle's Heat Blast can stagger a Tyrant, which is really useful (especially in that Slayer Gate where they throw two Tyrants at you right off the bat). As in, you can shoot the Tyrant (while keeping mobile, of course, never stop moving - the Tyrant is very slow to turn), Heat Blast, stagger, rinse and repeat. You can take a big chunk of his health with that method (but don't expect to kill him just with the Plasma Rifle).
