A playthrough of Map12 of Doom II (The Factory) on the Ultra-Violence difficulty for the PC. This is played through ZDoom. 100% kills, 100% items, and 100% secrets.
I'm new to playing retro Doom, and I already really enjoyed the games- but your commentary and helpful guides have made me LOVE the games. Thank you so much for making these.
I do like this map in all honesty. Yeah the ending is tedious but other than that, it's pretty solid. I just wish it was called something else other than the factory. Outskirts would've been a better name.
Hey, many thanks for these walk-through videos. My friend and I are starting a run of our own on Doom 2, and we really appreciate these. They really help when we're stuck. Please keep them coming! Also, I tend to handle a few levels differently, but to each his own. I'd be happy to discuss some tips if you'd like. Again, many thanks for the walk-through videos.
I personally liked this map. I mean it might me tedious at some points (like other doom maps), but fighting the hordes of demons on Earth shouldn't be a pleasant task... also my game phylosophy has always been "hard = fun"
I spent 45 minutes trying to find a secret way out of that final room, as I assumed I had somehow just missed the key that's needed to get out. So, instead of ending the level, I chose to first push and then shoot nearly ever foot of all the walls !
That switch where all the gunners are is for a drop lift that brings those imps you had to deal with after the teleport down to where the soul sphere is. You can see it if you look up through the hole in the floor.
That switch in the pit with the shotgunners raises the middle of the pillar with the four Imps and Soulsphere, so if you have taken the teleporter that takes you onto that pillar, you don't need to press that switch in the pit anymore.
You can also avoid taking damage from those four Imps if you first raise the platform and kill them from below and after that teleport onto the platform and just grab the soulsphere.
Huh, that's awesome. It's weird, I'm so used to doing these maps a certain way that I'm just locked into routes that I've taken for years. I should practice these maps more to find safer, better ways. Thanks for the tip, by the way. :)
I don't get how you get 100% in this map...Just before you entered the room that traps you in without the red key, you didn't pick up that box of shotgun ammo at 9:13 (because you had full ammo already), but you fired a shot from super shotgun, so technically, you left behind some items that could be picked up...what exactly counts towards that 100%?
The cacodemon room isn't that bad if you saved your plasma ammo. Just follow each caco into their lift while spamming the plasma gun on them, and they can't attack you. And since you're inside a little alcove, the other cacos can't attack you either. Doing that, you can also nab the plasma ammo and flip the switch. I did this starting from the left lift going clockwise and took no damage at all. Edit: here's a video of the strat: th-cam.com/video/vOqgsxtk6z0/w-d-xo.html#. I got hit towards the end, but it could've easily been avoided had I not run right into it like an idiot.
The switch raises the platform with the four Imps on it. Therefore it's safer to hit the switch, kill the Imps and THEN take the teleporter to get the Soul Sphere (and the secret). If you already grabbed the Soul Sphere the switch won't do anything.
I'm probably using the word wrong in the video. A spire is a structure that is built on top of a building. Sort of like the Bell Tower on top of Independence Hall.
I like this map exept for the ending room after killing all the caca-demons it is fun when it is a difficult map and i take the ending room like it is a mini boss but when u have to turn on all the levers it just gets irritating when u get stuck in the rising and lowering lifts u know
Cyberdemons are the big dog horse bull things with rockets There isnt one in this level But there is a Spiderdemon which is like ????????? The small version of those are called Arachnotrons.
The idea with the "peekaboo" Tomatoes was pretty clever - But once they all died the lifts should move to a neutral position and then stop. It IS very tedious to wait for them go up and down.
I like this map. It just dosen't resemble a factory in the slightest imo. The color scheme in the main area reminds me of like, an old library or something. Maybe even a haunted house. But not a factory. Also, some of the enemies seem a lil out of place. Like that cluster of Mancubi. What are Mancubi doing in a small, library-esque room? Revenants or Hell knights would better fit the atmosphere, again imo. But still a fun map tho. Solid game play throughout.
I was quite confused at the end of this map, I thought I had missed something, since I didn't have the Red Key to open the door out of the Cacodemon room. Turns out it's just to prevent you from leaving...for some reason. This was an odd map, just a bunch of rooms slapped together.
I do agree with you about that stupid room. And I think that switches spoiled the thing... It was OK till you had to wait every elevating pillar move UUUUUUP and DOOOOOWN... UUUUUUUUUUUP and DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWN.....
Wow, this is the best walk through ever. Your voice, your language and your skills are amazing. Thank you for giving me such a good time playing DooM again after so many years. :)
Funny, on the Gameboy Advance version is says you have won after the factory, not the Circle Of Destruction which is a bit odd considering the Factory is on earth.
Don't feel too bad about your lack of bias. I like it when you share your opinion in parts of levels, like in the Pit, when you talked about the elevator lifts. You just do things differently from others. Keep up the good work! BTW, you ever thought of doing a walkthrough of Doom 64 for the N64?
Thank you, my friend. I try to reserve my opinions for the end of the map, but if there's a room I don't like (or even like), I feel the need to say something. Also, yes, I plan on doing Doom 64.
Thought i'd mention a programming error in this map: once you go in the final cacodemon room, there is no way back out other than the map exit, and no health in there. if the Cacos bite you bad, you're gonna be starting map 13 in bad shape!
Nice walkthrough, but I found you can avoid the 4 imps trap and still get into to main factory. Those imps will be raised by pressing the white switch in shotgun guy’s room near a teleportor.
To get the soul sphere in the main central building without taking a lot of damage follow this sequence. Enter the main building take the first door on the right. After clearing the room and before teleporting press the switch. The raises the soul sphere and imps up where you can snipe them fro a safe distance.
That's interesting that the door to get back out of the last room says "You need the red key" and there is no red key. Online FAQs speculate there was a red key in the original design and it was removed before release, since there's no good reason to leave the last room (unless your health is 3 and you want to find some, but too bad).
Well I can't reply to a comment asking the difference between a Hell Knight and a Baron of Hell, but also Mac you called a Hell Knight a Baron in this map I think. The difference aside from colour is that the Hell Knights have half as much health but tend to appear in larger number or more frequently as normal enemies.
Very good my friend :D The next map is one of my favorite maps in Doom 2, a lot of searching specially if it's the first time the player plays it but in your case i'm sure it's not the first time so you'll be fine --- just don't forget your compass lol
Big Mac Davis, if you don’t want to get trapped in the room you can open the door and snipe a couple of Cacodeamons and exit before it closes to help even the odds. Then once you’ve killed enough go in and finish the rest.
Just a little tip to any one who might struggle with the Mancubus at 8:30... I certainly had a hard time doing it the way BigMacDavis did (& this way you won't have to back track) but if you hurry & jump down the hole (Secret) that is shown after the Mancubus & defeat him from down there, he can't shoot you since his fireballs just keep hiding the floor/ceiling that's between you & him & you can kill him nice & easy :)
Heh, I always liked the caco room in this one. Definitely a place to learn how to dodge and exciting in a way. Waiting for the switches to be accessible kinda sucks, I grant. Also yea hi I'm commenting on a 9 year old video. 😁
Dude I love this videos because I played it as a kid, now I'm adult and trust me, I really enjoy playing this game!!! Thanks for this videos!!! Greeting from Nogales, Ver. Mex.
For some reason, when I first played this map, I was expecting something epic or unexpected to happen when I got to the end, maybe a Cyberdemon or Spider Mastermind fight, or even a new boss monster. Or maybe a gauntlet against new enemies like in Map 7 (Dead Simple). In the end, it was just a large, slightly annoying map with an inconsistent design. Perhaps I shouldn't have hyped myself too much with the story message from completing the previous map (which talked about the demons emerging to Hell and trying to kill humans before they could evacuate)
Thx so much for these vids !! They are awesome!!. I played doom 1 alone and doom 2 until Lv 10. After that i stopped playing. It took so many time to find through the Lv,...if you don't know what to do. With your vid it feels really easy !! And even faster with your 100% as before. Now i am going to finish Doom 2. Doom 4 is coming :D
I'm sure you know this by now but apparently the red key was present in the earliest versions of Doom II but later removed because it wasn't "necessary". Hmm.
There's too many unfinished ideas in this map, just little rooms with old tricks (like the acid raising platforms and the dark creepy hallway) and some cool new ones (the caco lifts and the imp trap) but overall, confusing and sprawling
Who's bright idea was it to lock a door that you need a red key to open? Sandy, was that you? I mean, to put a red door in the map but not a red key is neglectful and ridiculous. Sounds like something Sandy would do.
i find this level very annoying... but its funny .. when youre about to hit the exit, if u check your map youll be like "wow... thats all? heh." the level looks so small and simple on the map. but i felt like it took me forever
Just beat the first Doom the other day using a walk through where there was no talking and they were doing a speed run. Super hard. (I have beat the newer Doom on PS4 but thought I would go back and beat 1, 2, and 3, then eternal) I enjoy your videos because you are thorough, precise, and to the point. And! I thought they were pronounced caca demons. 😆 I just call them flying meat balls now lol. I bigger, meaner, Meatwad from Aqua Teen Hungerforce! Thank you for taking the time to make these videos for us to enjoy!
In the cacademon room i just took the chaingun and ran into one of the lifts and finished the demon there than i just used the lift to my advantage. Everytime it was up i fired a rocket on one demon and drove back Downwards. I made it until all of them in reach are dead then ran to another Lift and started the same game.
Though this is old video but @3:47 I will not take this teleporter now until I entered the building from the door @ 2:02 and then got to the switch @ 8:22, which will raise up the Amps next to the soul sphere and go back to that area @ 9:00 to kill them
Sorry, I know your comment was five years ago, but for anyone reading this, "most everybody" is fairly common where I'm from. I don't know where you're from, but for your location the vernacular may be unfamiliar. It really means "almost everybody". Maybe it should be properly written as: 'most everybody, but generally there aren't many rules for how colloquialisms are written.
Awesome video and yes im on this map too and you say on minute there its not red key i was think that will be in this map too the red key on minute 10:23 and when i play and i was stock on this door to open and say red key i replay the map and was no where redkey
The radiation suit is there probably to let a player strafe easily across that room with damaging floor if he started the map from scratch and has no strong weapons to kill those cacodemons quickly.
Flipping the secret switch raises the center part with the imps were he teleported earlier in this video but instead of teleporting were the imps are and getting killed what I like to do is I avoid taking that teleporter in the beginning and once in the room with the secret switch I flip it. From here you can look out from the doorway and see the imps on top of the center platform where the soul sphere is and snipe them one by one. Much easier to take cover from their fire ball attacks in the room then getting trapped in a tight space with three of them. Also, go back to that first teleport now and you'll get the soul sphere with no imp enemies to worry about.
8:54 - Well, there was no point in saving that Berserk for now, since from here to the final room there are no more enemies and you'll find another one at the entrance of that room 💁♂
Boy, this is a weird factory, and a crazy one, too. I also saw one Baron of Hell infighting an Imp, which is surprising. This level does feel like a mess. Anyways, nice vid. :)
Hey, you don't really want to hit that switch in the room with the falling ledge and all the shotgunners, what it does is it raises the platorm with the imps and soulsphere in the middle. So in case you did not get the soulsphere you now have some extra imps to fight. Useless either way.
Hello BigMaxDavis! :) would you consider making a playthrough of the Doom2 wad "Hell grounds" ?? It is one of the best wads I have seen so far! Design value is off the charts!! Atmosphere - feel of the map also off the charts!!
I reloaded a previous save and wandered about for ages trying to find the red key. I knew I was missing something so I came here to find out the location of the red key. THERE ISN'T ONE! Screaaam! :-)
@BigMacDavis I killed the Cacodemon in the far right with the BFG, dived into the area and used that, and then the one opposite, to kill the rest of the Cacos with the rockets. Then I pressed all the switches and saw the exit; but I wanted to check to see if I had missed anything. That's when I thought I had missed the red key. I can laugh about it now: wandering around for ages for nothing. By the way, I am rewatching your Christmas chill zone videos. Are you going to be playing any Christmassy games this year?
2:20 "There's no real, solid way to get through this room unscathed."
Then he proceeds to get through the room unscathed :D
"Chaingun bullet light"... lol. That would be muzzle flash, or the game's depiction of it, rather.
Yeah, thank you. I had a loss for words while I was playing.
@@BigMacDavis Holy crap! You narrated this while playing?
I hate you.

Hey, many thanks for these walk-through videos.

They really help when we're stuck.
Please keep them coming!
Also, I tend to handle a few levels differently, but to each his own.
I'd be happy to discuss some tips if you'd like.
Again, many thanks for the walk-through videos.
always wished you could pick up beserk packs n the suits n keep them for when you need em
8:21 What is this switch for?
I personally liked this map. I mean it might me tedious at some points (like other doom maps), but fighting the hordes of demons on Earth shouldn't be a pleasant task... also my game phylosophy has always been "hard = fun"
Definitely. This map has a lot of hidden surprises in it. Monsters can all of a sudden be right in front of your face. I like that.
***** too bad it doesn't have naked women dancing in the background, while kicking Imps in the dick, =D
DrQuagmire1 Oh wow, lol.
***** even exotic dancers gotta get their kicks in sometime
DrQuagmire1 That's true.
I spent 45 minutes trying to find a secret way out of that final room, as I assumed I had somehow just missed the key that's needed to get out. So, instead of ending the level, I chose to first push and then shoot nearly ever foot of all the walls !
That switch where all the gunners are is for a drop lift that brings those imps you had to deal with after the teleport down to where the soul sphere is. You can see it if you look up through the hole in the floor.
That switch in the pit with the shotgunners raises the middle of the pillar with the four Imps and Soulsphere, so if you have taken the teleporter that takes you onto that pillar, you don't need to press that switch in the pit anymore.
I always wondered what that switch did. I could finish the entire map without ever pressing it and I'd still get 100% of everything. Thanks.
You can also avoid taking damage from those four Imps if you first raise the platform and kill them from below and after that teleport onto the platform and just grab the soulsphere.
Huh, that's awesome. It's weird, I'm so used to doing these maps a certain way that I'm just locked into routes that I've taken for years. I should practice these maps more to find safer, better ways. Thanks for the tip, by the way. :)
You're welcome :-)
:D
I remember the first time I played this level. I could not for the life of me find the exit. I ended up 100% it just wandering around.
I don't get how you get 100% in this map...Just before you entered the room that traps you in without the red key, you didn't pick up that box of shotgun ammo at 9:13 (because you had full ammo already), but you fired a shot from super shotgun, so technically, you left behind some items that could be picked up...what exactly counts towards that 100%?
Very very great
gracias por hacer gameplays de doom, comentados ayudan mucho, yo lo tengo para gameboy advance
That trick in the unmarked is stupid, you could just saw the mancubus to death instead. :P
Never knew about that red key thingy BTW.
Yeah, I don't know why that door is marked as Red. It's weird.
Well. I heard many times that "city" levels are kinda bad in design. Now it's time for me to experience them.
Maaannn... I really thought that you would lure imps to infight with the arachnotrons...
Have we ever found a way to open that red door without a red key? That seems really odd
Nope, there is no red key in this map. I think it's a way to trap you inside the room forever.
The cacodemon room isn't that bad if you saved your plasma ammo. Just follow each caco into their lift while spamming the plasma gun on them, and they can't attack you. And since you're inside a little alcove, the other cacos can't attack you either. Doing that, you can also nab the plasma ammo and flip the switch. I did this starting from the left lift going clockwise and took no damage at all.

8:20 - What does this switch do?! "Don't forget to flip it". But what if I don't? I couldn't figure out what it did.
Hmm. Good question. I actually don't remember.
The switch raises the platform with the four Imps on it. Therefore it's safer to hit the switch, kill the Imps and THEN take the teleporter to get the Soul Sphere (and the secret). If you already grabbed the Soul Sphere the switch won't do anything.
Where is the red key??
One minute in I already have a comment and a question. Question: why do you call it a spire? What's the definition? Comment: good morning!
I'm probably using the word wrong in the video. A spire is a structure that is built on top of a building. Sort of like the Bell Tower on top of Independence Hall.
I agree this map is ok.
Anyone know whats up with the red key on the tomato room??
There is no red key, it doesn't exist. Once you enter there's no backtracking.
@@BigMacDavis I figured that out on your other video. Thanks 👍
I like this map exept for the ending room after killing all the caca-demons it is fun when it is a difficult map and i take the ending room like it is a mini boss but when u have to turn on all the levers it just gets irritating when u get stuck in the rising and lowering lifts u know
Yeah, the final room is annoying. Especially when you have to flip all the levers and such. Complete waste of time.
agree but the rest of the map is fun doh :)
Linusbeast Yeah, I like the rest of it.
yup i will probably start play doom II again after this walktroug cuz it's tha best! and i have ya chanal lenked at my chanal :)
Oh cool, that's awesome.
I almost died multiple times on easiest difficulty.
this guy is great, im marginally better! lol
I hate cybordemons
Cyberdemons are the big dog horse bull things with rockets
There isnt one in this level
But there is a Spiderdemon which is like ?????????
The small version of those are called Arachnotrons.
Personally this is my least favourite map.
This is one of the worst maps in Doom II. That last room is insufferable, the entire level is just annoying.
There's a lot of running around and the end room is terrible. The entire map could have been designed better.
***** The Downtown map is much better. I can't wait to see your playthrough, this one is very tough from a pistol start.
CosmicStargoat I love Downtown. It's an awesome map.
i hate this map
2:25 "There's no real, solid way to get through this room unscathed."
>proceeds to not take a single point of damage
Too much navigation, and the end room is just plain boring and tedious!
I do like the city background outside though......
You're right, the city background is awesome.
I always like killing the arachnotrons as quickly as possible. The noise they make can be really annoying.
You'll be happy to know that in Map13, I kill all of the Arachnotrons as soon as they appear on the map, lol. :D
The noise doesn't annoy me.
The idea with the "peekaboo" Tomatoes was pretty clever - But once they all died the lifts should move to a neutral position and then stop. It IS very tedious to wait for them go up and down.

Yup, you need the Red Key in order to backtrack. Only problem is, there is no Red Key in all the map. Lol.
Nice walkthrough, but I found you can avoid the 4 imps trap and still get into to main factory. Those imps will be raised by pressing the white switch in shotgun guy’s room near a teleportor.
Thank you for showing me there IS no red key in this damned map! I've been scratching my head over this since the first time I played it :-D
To get the soul sphere in the main central building without taking a lot of damage follow this sequence. Enter the main building take the first door on the right.

Yes, I will. Eventually.

8:20 what was the point of that switch?
Just played 100% without the switch
7:30 I know I'm extremely late, but the term you're looking for is "muzzle flash."
Well I can't reply to a comment asking the difference between a Hell Knight and a Baron of Hell, but also Mac you called a Hell Knight a Baron in this map I think.
The difference aside from colour is that the Hell Knights have half as much health but tend to appear in larger number or more frequently as normal enemies.
I noticed he said that, but I had no idea they were any different apart from colour
"Have to navigate through this crap." lol

You are right. In the next map, you can go so many different ways and explore things differently all the time. That's why it's so fun to play.

so far so good
Big Mac Davis, if you don’t want to get trapped in the room you can open the door and snipe a couple of Cacodeamons and exit before it closes to help even the odds. Then once you’ve killed enough go in and finish the rest.
Why don't ya try using a pistol like a real marine? 😆

9:24 I agree. I hate that room too. Mostly because I was low health when I entered that room and all those cacodemons fucked me up bad
I usually try to get the large number of Imps at the beginning to in-fight with the Arachnotron. It is a little time consuming but saves ammo.
“It’s the only door like it, so once you find it, you found it.” Ya don’t say? 😉😂
Just beat the first Doom the other day using a walk through where there was no talking and they were doing a speed run. Super hard. (I have beat the newer Doom on PS4 but thought I would go back and beat 1, 2, and 3, then eternal) I enjoy your videos because you are thorough, precise, and to the point. And! I thought they were pronounced caca demons. 😆 I just call them flying meat balls now lol. I bigger, meaner, Meatwad from Aqua Teen Hungerforce! Thank you for taking the time to make these videos for us to enjoy!
No problem, Lindsey, thank you for enjoying, and I'm glad these videos help.
In the cacademon room i just took the chaingun and ran into one of the lifts and finished the demon there than i just used the lift to my advantage. Everytime it was up i fired a rocket on one demon and drove back Downwards. I made it until all of them in reach are dead then ran to another Lift and started the same game.
Chain gun’s muzzle flashes, and no this is not a correction but for future purposes information.
Ah yes, the Iraq Neutrons...at least what the automated subtitles say so.
Though this is old video but @3:47 I will not take this teleporter now until I entered the building from the door @ 2:02 and then got to the switch @ 8:22, which will raise up the Amps next to the soul sphere and go back to that area @ 9:00 to kill them
"The BFG should take care of most everybody" ?
Yes. That is correct.
The way of u saying it doesn't sound right to me xD
Lol.
Sorry, I know your comment was five years ago, but for anyone reading this, "most everybody" is fairly common where I'm from. I don't know where you're from, but for your location the vernacular may be unfamiliar. It really means "almost everybody". Maybe it should be properly written as: 'most everybody, but generally there aren't many rules for how colloquialisms are written.
Honestly most of the maps in Doom 2 doesn't look like they took place on earth Evilution does it better
I wanna know what that dang switch was for in the teleporter/shotgun guys room??
Awesome video and yes im on this map too and you say on minute there its not red key i was think that will be in this map too the red key on minute 10:23 and when i play and i was stock on this door to open and say red key i replay the map and was no where redkey
Yup, no red key in this map at all.
The radiation suit is there probably to let a player strafe easily across that room with damaging floor if he started the map from scratch and has no strong weapons to kill those cacodemons quickly.
That makes a little bit more sense. Thank you.
I love your walkthroughs
I can't take credit for this comment but someone said, "BigMac Davis is the 'Bob Ross of Doom'".
I've heard that quite often, lol.
Hey great walkthrough but what did flipping that secret switch next to the teleporter do????
Flipping the secret switch raises the center part with the imps were he teleported earlier in this video but instead of teleporting were the imps are and getting killed what I like to do is I avoid taking that teleporter in the beginning and once in the room with the secret switch I flip it. From here you can look out from the doorway and see the imps on top of the center platform where the soul sphere is and snipe them one by one. Much easier to take cover from their fire ball attacks in the room then getting trapped in a tight space with three of them. Also, go back to that first teleport now and you'll get the soul sphere with no imp enemies to worry about.
I never knew the names of all of these enemies when I was a kid back In the day lol
8:54 - Well, there was no point in saving that Berserk for now, since from here to the final room there are no more enemies and you'll find another one at the entrance of that room 💁♂
I think I saved it in case I needed health later.
You are def the best at walkthrough descriptions.
Thank you, my friend, glad you're enjoying. :)
Boy, this is a weird factory, and a crazy one, too. I also saw one Baron of Hell infighting an Imp, which is surprising. This level does feel like a mess. Anyways, nice vid. :)
Not "bullet light", it is muzzle flash!
love this game
Hey, you don't really want to hit that switch in the room with the falling ledge and all the shotgunners, what it does is it raises the platorm with the imps and soulsphere in the middle. So in case you did not get the soulsphere you now have some extra imps to fight. Useless either way.
Apparently doom2 was rushed by ID. Hence some of the maps are rather frustrating and can have you stuck, forcing a level restart.
Hello BigMaxDavis! :) would you consider making a playthrough of the Doom2 wad "Hell grounds" ?? It is one of the best wads I have seen so far! Design value is off the charts!! Atmosphere - feel of the map also off the charts!!
I reloaded a previous save and wandered about for ages trying to find the red key. I knew I was missing something so I came here to find out the location of the red key. THERE ISN'T ONE! Screaaam! :-)
No red key. You're trapped in the cacodemon factory area.
@BigMacDavis I killed the Cacodemon in the far right with the BFG, dived into the area and used that, and then the one opposite, to kill the rest of the Cacos with the rockets. Then I pressed all the switches and saw the exit; but I wanted to check to see if I had missed anything. That's when I thought I had missed the red key. I can laugh about it now: wandering around for ages for nothing.
By the way, I am rewatching your Christmas chill zone videos. Are you going to be playing any Christmassy games this year?
@@thewisepowerchair2369 Yup, sure am. Probably Christmas Eve again.
