Description:
2 minute and 31 second improvement over my previous record. Would have done this sooner if I didn't get unlucky and die on map 30 and twice at the end of 29 :)
Some map comments:
Map 02:
Almost believed that one barrel was indestructible... had to check.
Map 03:
Highest amount of health and armor I ever managed to leave this level with during these attempts.
Map 04:
This and the next level heavily depends on your health from map 03, if it's under 100 then you'll most likely die. Easy to skip the last secret after red key, happened once even though I knew about it.
Map 05:
Hardest level after map01, never know when you take a large burst of damage all of the sudden.
Map 07:
Need to remember to bump the exit edge as you skip the secret with the rockte jump.
Map 09:
3rd hardest level in the run, the BFG secret can be very annoying to get because of the high damage roll projectiles from so many monsters around. Gotten stuck in the acid as well because I failed the jump like I did here.
Usually getting yellow key is fine, but the pinkies can get to you.. the next secret though is awful if you don't land your BFG's correctly, this time it went rather poorly but I didn't take too much damage... until I left and enter blue key room and got stuck in some corner by the stairs.
Map 12:
I never died on this level, but I had several close calls. Surprisingly it's after going through the teleporter the second time as you might get killed by arachnotrons. Somehow missed one of the switches here in the cacodemon room, pressed use a tic too early.
Map 15:
Includes 100% secrets, unfortunately at the cost of about 2 minutes, 1 of those because the pain elemental was messing around. Lost several attempts here to the pain elemental not showing up, once he even managed to go to the outside area instead. A couple of times I've been shot into the teleporter by some respawned shotgunner.
Map 16:
I didn't hear the first secret open when I was recording this in crispy doom, so I shot it a few extra times before I realised the first one probably did open it.
Map 17:
Died several times during my attempts here, quite annoying as it's not really that difficult. Each time it was after the yellow key bars. If I ever do this again I will just jump straight down to the acid whenever I'm low on health.
Map 18:
The first time I did this run I found some rather obvious route improvements to this level, apparently there was an even better route I missed.
Map 22:
Should have gone a bit faster with the health I had. I knew it was possible to skip the last secret here, of course I had 1 attempt where I backed up a bit and managed to do it.
Map 23:
MB50 SL40 instead of MB50 SL50 as the initial movement tic means I failed this linedef skip. Usually it's very easy to get this because I press ASF which are all on the same row on my keyboard instead of something like WAF for map07, so hitting the keys at the same time should never be a problem here, at least it didn't happen on map 24. So no barrel wallrun, loses quite a bit of time having to do it the normal way.
Map 24:
Awful, got distracted too much by that lost soul at the invulnerability so I have to take the elevator of shame. I had one decent attempt where I figured I'd "take it safe" and walk across the ledges to the exit.. never again, the wallrun isn't even that hard.
Map 29:
No secrets to get, 2 attempts wasted because of bad damage rolls at the end. Once I was scratched by the baron for 80 damage after the rocket jump just before entering the teleporter, didn't stand a chance. Another attempt I had about 50/50 health/armor after the teleporter and I just got murdered on my way up. Took things a bit safe this time to make sure I had as much health as possible.
Map 30:
Didn't move far enough back on the elevator, and on nightmare I get constantly hit by projectiles so it was difficult to adjust, 5 seconds lost, still a 1 cycle though.
Thanks for watching!

[@decino]

The amount of reflexes, planning, memorising and overall skill level required to pull this off is immeasurable. My respect for you is eternal.

[@brentreid8228]

Would you say... doom eternal?

Dude, if I was Romero, I'd personally give Zeromaster an award as the MVP of Doom

[@PeterLawrenceYT]

Absolute flawless play. Your ability in this insanely difficult category is outrageous.

[@liamaldrich2476]

Don't you run this same category? Also, I got a good chuckle from seeing all those "Woah decino comment" replies on his comment, while yours has no such replies lol

[@Kitsune_Chara_CG]

Like ive heard some levels arent thaz bad on nightmare but Some Secrets make it just straight up literla hell

[@Allstin]

Doing the pain elemental secret on Nightmare... oo! 😮

[@Sacremas]

I was sitting there like okay, sure, but there's no way this is 100 %, he's not doing the pain elemental on a Nightmare speedrun is he? Oh god, he is.

[@TwoScrubPlayers]

Revenant: Was that Doomguy? Surviving Imp: No.. That was Zero Master.

[@zoiskiee28]

Lmao

[@fuzzbombxx-1213]

pretty much...

[@ThomasNimmesgern]

Wrong. When Zero Master arrives, no Imps survive.

[@Akumasama]

22:44 - the FUCKING LEGEND HIMSELF. For those who don't know, there's a glitched secret floor here, under the teleporter. It can't normally be touched ,but because he was bumped by the pain elemental, he managed to grab it.

[@samchong4295]

It's not glitched. It was intentionally designed that way, according to John Romero himself

[@mercurius1488]

Why?​@@samchong4295

[@witherstorm-kx9lj]

@@samchong4295 well, no, the og doom was released on December 10, 1993, Doom 2 hell on earth, was released September 30, 1994, not many playtests were done, so bugs could still be let through without notice, it could most likely be a bug also Decino (aka pumkin man) made a whole video explaining it it can be found here kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6rWmWCBYq2KbNU he also asked John Romero himself, and he responded saying that it was a bug, mystery solved

[@havencanfield4653]

Zeromaster the type of dude whose rival is literally himself.

[@NitromantoHDTR]

This man is a straight up legend, there is nothing he can't beat when he puts his mind on it.

his brain works like a supercomputer.

[@phfatband]

Just gonna put this out there then. GO AFTER LOOPERS 17:55!

[@marcelopardo4791]

I think its imposible to do UV 100% everything (items also), this is an annoying category that is imposible because you need to create a route that considers taking every single item in the map, meaning strategically shooting, getting hurt and lowering armor to the purpose etc. Without saying 100% kills and secrets at the same time. I mean is 100% posible, its just very annoying to perfect, i dont think Zero has the patience.

[@ArchRevival]

Absolute pinnacle of skill.

[@Allstin]

Absolute LEGENDARY pinnacle of skill!

[@takatsukiishida]

yo arch

[@adammmmmmmm]

Hi

[@thomassynths]

I'm so glad you picked up the chainsaw. Now decino has no excuse, but to learn from the master himself.

[@Nob1ej0n]

I also thought that was a good touch. Almost all kills with just the chainsaw. Chew on that, decino! LOL (Nothing but love to the both of them, I just thought it was funny. :-)

[@arthurstaufackar8561]

Game: are you sure? This skill level isn't ...oh, it's you zero master.

[@maliook727]

okay now im gonna multiply the monsters by 10 okay?

[@lecoindugamer7644]

half the health pickups for funny and normal ammo

[@Fillduck]

Doomguy: "Here I go killin' again!"

[@DiamantisGR]

Yep, this is a nightmare for the demons. They get respawned so they can be killed again. True hell indeed.

[@fuzbuzz00]

Oh a 2-minute improvement. He must've skipped the pain elemental.... No nevermind he still did it. This man is a god

[@NumberJuan77]

Even then, he shaved 36 seconds!

[@tecrubio]

Zeromaster the type of dude that do a speedrun before make the coffee at the morning

[@deuone]

Quite amazing being able to see speedruns like these in 4k with 60fps

[@0neDoomedSpaceMarine]

Demo recordings were a stroke of genius, even old speedruns recorded in 1993 can be viewed today in maximum quality.

[@tuhaggis]

Zero Master reads the Nightmare! difficulty's warning as a plea for mercy.

[@fedorachap4490]

Jesus Christ,that’s-thats all I can say

[@48Mei]

You’re honestly one of a kind. Thank you for your amazing runs.

[@derekblankenship8947]

The people that disliked this video clearly has no idea how amazing this speedrun really is. Well done sir truly incredible

[@marcelopardo4791]

"Zero respects" is having a new meaning thanks to this god. Amazing

[@0neDoomedSpaceMarine]

I'm not surprised, but as always I am impressed.

[@Letrictox13]

I can’t even play that good with God mode and all weapons lmao. Well done ZeroMaster don’t ever stop. Your an absolute legend

[@joshAKAtheman]

Yall realise that he does certain things not considered necessary for competitive demos and still manages to set record times? 100% secrets in map 15 for example, its not required to get all secrets here cause of the bugged out one yet this man does it anyway and sets a record time doing it. All salutes to you, Zero Master

[@DarkNight042]

When he says 100%, he means it.

[@coreysayre1376]

Zero Master's the type of guy who gives the monsters cheat codes.

[@Midgert89]

Tried nightmare casually last night, couldnt make it past map 4 on Doom 2. Shit's harder than Zeromaster makes it look.

[@user-ju2cg1he3i]

Yeah, I can't get past level 3 in Doom(1993) on nightmare.

[@Escalipse]

Zero Master finishes the entire speedrun faster than it takes me to complete the first level. Very impressive.

[@jimmmyz169]

Even on a setting where all enemies cheat, he can't be stopped! The game needs cheat codes just to slow him down! Edit: Not only did he show he can do it again but he beat his previous time and world record!

[@Grandel92]

In the first age, in the first battle, when the shadows first lengthened, one stood. Burned by the embers of Armageddon, his soul blistered by the fires of Hell and tainted beyond ascension, he chose the path of perpetual torment. In his ravenous hatred, he found no peace, and with boiling blood he scoured the Umbral Plains seeking vengeance against the dark lords who had wronged him. He wore the crown of the Night Sentinels, and those that tasted the bite of his sword named him... the Doom Slayer. He is the one! :D

[@thisisaname873]

Always a blast to watch your runs

[@ambient2104]

*Player selects “Nightmare!” difficultly* “Are you sure? This game mode isn- oh, it’s you!”

You absolute LEGEND. Doomguy himself would be proud. So sick to see you keep pushing yourself.

This is actually fun to watch, unlike so many other speedruns.

[@mikehonda7934]

He’s doing well!!

[@Partial_Invisibility]

Disagree

I was thinking he could pull off this Pain Elemental secret trick in this speed run, and boy, he did it. Nice!!!
