@@reptongeek I never paid attention to this detail. Generally I ignore the item count at th end. I watched the run that I made on my channel and I made 100% items too :)
It's amazing to think that ID didn't design Doom to be this flexible and adaptable, they just did such solid programming and made such good design decisions that it was a natural consequence.
This game was released the same year I was born. My first time playing this was when I was seven. My uncle had it on the PS1 and I was terrible at it. I couldn't even beat the first map without dying at least once. Nowadays, with twenty five years of experience and studying your videos, I've finally managed to beat Episode 4 on Nightmare. I give all the credit to you for that. Your videos helped me alter my strategies to finally complete my most difficult achievement.
Wow what a rush! Decino: “E1M6, I am not worried about you, combat is fairly easy…” E1M6: “No. Hold my beer.” Great perseverance man. Excited to see the ginormous next level, Computer Station took me a decent amount of time to conquer my first time through😵💫
The Pinkies were no joke this level, nicely played. You flew through this one so quickly I actually forgot it was Nightmare with respawning enemies for a minute!
For anyone who doesn't know, John Romero livestreams his working on SIGIL 2 on twitch! He even sometimes answers questions in the chat. Def check it out.
Hey Decino, just wanted to say this is really great series! I remember trying Nightmare on E1M1 as a kid and never touching it again, even all these years later. Crazy to see something so familiar but also so different.
Nightmare mode seems really demanding - you pretty much have to move directly from objective to objective with no dillydallying and no wasting time. So I'm impressed how this self-imposed "100% Items" challenge requires decino to go _everywhere_ and put even more of a strain on his resources than normal.
That second death was like reaching the summit of Everest, only to run out of oxygen and perish as you're climbing your way through a storm back down to base camp
200% Health and armor on Nightmare seems like a impossible task, but there you go! The only bad thing is it won't last long :( The ending was very intense
Amazing as usual :) I've never played Doom with an objective in mind (other than "beat the level"), that makes it so much more intense. I could listen to your calm style of commentary for hours - which I already did in your other, longer, playthroughs. Looking forward to E1M7!
Hiya decino- just posting to say that your vids introduced me to UVMAX doom, and I beat plutonia MAP32 right as this was posted. I literally couldn't have done it without you - the bfg analysis video should be on its doom wiki page, as it explains tracers better than any text ever could. Keep it up.
For my own enjoyment, I've modded the health and armor bonuses in DECORATE to not count as items (and to not be picked up at 200%). The item count on maps dropped *_DRAMATICALLY,_* like 90-95%. It's so liberating, and I recommend any ZDoom+ players do it.
Dam that final death because of missing the item I think I would restarted and that's only because I know where my skill is at but fair enough bit cheeky that shotgunner getting you through the wall lol anyway been really fun watching these so far looking forward to seeing those later levels in the next few few episodes I can't even imagine what that's going to be like on nightmare if I remember correctly as a kid playing this I think I tried nightmare once maybe twice pretty sure it was once never made it past the first episode I know nowadays that I most likely could beat the game on nightmare it is crazy to think that what seemed impossible at the time is well not actually that hard anymore though years of gaming has some what improved my skill which helps lol anyway as always Cheers for upload decino
Decino! just in case u see this, i wanted to say i love your videos and been watching them since i think 2019 and funny enough your older videos were you break down how DOOM functions have really helped in my coding classes ( I am studying game design)
Most hatred of this Nightmare Mode map, period. I died a ton of times trying to beat this one. I was satisfied when I finally beating this map after many oh so many tries. Like before I am not fast for any Shooter games. I'm more of slow and steady and making sure I avoid pretty nicely. Aside from all that sense, you did an excellent job beating this. Can't wait for next map for Arrival as well. 😀
@@christiangottsacker6932 You know what? I think I did eventually. More importantly my brother was the one that got the rest of the items for me when we did 2 player Nightmare Mode. Doing it alone I think it is hard so.....yeah I guess you can argue and say it doesn't count if your doing this game co-op with your brother so....my bad. Maybe one day I'll do it again except alone myself which is still pain. 😞
Great run as always Decino. It's crazy that you're blazing through the whole chapter without major issues or problems on Nightmare. Are you planning to do Episode 2 and 3?
As someone who's never really bothered with Nightmare difficulty or even watched any playthroughs on it by others, i really didn't appreciate how hard it can be! Especially in hitscan heavy maps like knee deep in the dead's! Good idea to do this decino, offers up something different from the norm. 👍
Would be interesting to explore that "through the wall" bit at the end, had it happen to me on one of GZDoom's TC mods. It's as if the hitscan was already locked on you, so it doesn't bother to check the line sight even if you moved out of the way at the last second.
This is making me want to play The Ultimate Doom and Doom 2 on Nightmare also. Maybe try continuous. Despite playing these games since Doom E1 was shareware, though, I actually don't remember all the secrets in either game.
At first I was disappointed that Decino would be going back to vanilla Doom, but these Nightmare playthroughs are gripping. Extra fast Pinkies and fuzzy sowftware rendering Specters are a frigging nightmare.
When I was a child, I never have finished Doom I and II, and I was playing them like, one day I played the first one, the next day, I played the second one. And because of that, my memory made it, that I thought that in that big room, with red keycard, it were chaingunners, that were coming out of walls, after taking red keycard
Fun fact about the red key in this map: depending on the angle and speed you approach it you can pick up the red key without triggering the monster closets and you can just wait for that door to open back up
I remember watching Peter do his charity livestream of this challenge, and the items on this map ruined his runs again and again and again. I also just tried this last night with fast monsters and that last pack of spectres killed all my runs.
Oh god, that room of doom at the end really is the nastiest bit of episode 1. It's nuts to think some of the original maps are still able to kill decino under the right conditions.
It felt like at times you were used to DOOM 2's one shot dead Pinkys via the SSG. . . . but then went - oh crap - no SSG so had to quickly swap back to the chaingun to stun lock them.
Looking forward to e1m8 probably my favourite level but can't take your time with the barons because of respawning pinkies though shouldn't be too bad long as you don't get cornered
How about a long video playing each of the original episodes one by one on ultra violence in a relaxed manner with lots of commentary on the level design?
Okay e1m6 they're going to particular is a bit of Maze remember the first time I play this map believe it or not I got lost the first time that I played even with the map but eventually I hang of it and the reason like that about this map is the music I don't know why I just I love the music that much that it kept me a little pumped out other than that it's a pretty decent map and by the way this is the map that I practice as a kid in nightmare mode, yep using the IDCLEV to warp to Map 6 just to pratice and that's what I realize that the nightmare difficulty it's no joke unless you're really good at it it took me a me quite awhile to beat the map and finding all the secrets and items. I don't know if I can do that now as an adult.
Interesting. When I did this on Nightmare on PS4 (mind you, it was coop Nightmare too), I found E1M5 and E1M6 to be the most difficult. But OK, I didn't go for 100% items so maybe that's the difference.
"Specter, I didn't see you!" has a "-Soldier! I didn't see you at the camouflage training! -Thanks lieutenant!" vibes
Had a proper shitty day, and needed to continue to work after put my daughter to bed. Finally finished and I’ve been looking forward to watching this.
Feels crazy to know that 30 years ago Nightmare difficulty was considered impossible, now we have decino just doing it casually.
I'm just expecting E4M6. Never watched someone doing NM+100% Secrets with 100% Itens included.
It's not that hard honestly. Most speedruns of E4M6 that I've watched collect 100% items naturally as there is only (I believe) four on the map
Today you have (much) better graphics and you play with a mouse.
If you try it with keyboard and 1994 resolution, it would be near impossible.
@@reptongeek I never paid attention to this detail. Generally I ignore the item count at th end. I watched the run that I made on my channel and I made 100% items too :)
>30 years ago
Oh crap, Doom is old!!
Oh crap, I'm old!!!!! 😂
It's amazing to think that ID didn't design Doom to be this flexible and adaptable, they just did such solid programming and made such good design decisions that it was a natural consequence.
100% Items turns from a sometimes being an annoying easter egg hunt into survival horror on Nightmare! it's kinda epic.
This game was released the same year I was born. My first time playing this was when I was seven. My uncle had it on the PS1 and I was terrible at it. I couldn't even beat the first map without dying at least once.

After i readed this i got the sudden Will to RIP AND TEAR
Wow, having to retrace one's steps on Nightmare is just suicide. Another great run, decino.
The fun part is the speed though. Since everything is on a timer it really makes you feel lile a badger backed into a corner
Wow what a rush!
Decino: “E1M6, I am not worried about you, combat is fairly easy…”
E1M6: “No. Hold my beer.”
Great perseverance man. Excited to see the ginormous next level, Computer Station took me a decent amount of time to conquer my first time through😵💫
Decino, have you met Nightmare Mode?
Nightmare Mode: are you sure? This difficulty is not even remotely fair.
Decino: We've met
I see what you did.
The Pinkies were no joke this level, nicely played. You flew through this one so quickly I actually forgot it was Nightmare with respawning enemies for a minute!
For anyone who doesn't know, John Romero livestreams his working on SIGIL 2 on twitch! He even sometimes answers questions in the chat. Def check it out.
Just wanted to say thank you for providing this entertainment for us. Keep the videos coming! 😀

Fortunately ammo pickups are doubled on Nightmare difficulty, so it's 'only' the health you really need to manage :P
That second death was like reaching the summit of Everest, only to run out of oxygen and perish as you're climbing your way through a storm back down to base camp
So, the implied Mallory experience?
200% Health and armor on Nightmare seems like a impossible task, but there you go! The only bad thing is it won't last long :( The ending was very intense
Great to see these levels played again. It's been ages since I last tried these out.
Amazing as usual :) I've never played Doom with an objective in mind (other than "beat the level"), that makes it so much more intense. I could listen to your calm style of commentary for hours - which I already did in your other, longer, playthroughs. Looking forward to E1M7!
Oh boy, can't wait to see how brutal E1M7 is with 100% items :D
Dude, your gameplay and game knowledge is absolutely incredible!
You always seem to upload videos just as I get in bed, perfect for watching your videos as I fall asleep to your calming voice 😅
Now I'm wondering how many people are watching DooM on nightmare videos to help them fall into sleep.
Hiya decino- just posting to say that your vids introduced me to UVMAX doom, and I beat plutonia MAP32 right as this was posted.

Around 3:20, i did not know that wall opened for 30 years!
I am really enjoying these videos, thanks for the effort ^_^

That Shotgun Guy did the Wanted / bend the trajectory of his shot to get Doom Guy behind the corner, it’s truly impressive.
@10:19 "Do I have health here?" [Finds the opposite of health]
Even your fails are entertaining, and display enviable skill. Kudos sir.
Decino! just in case u see this, i wanted to say i love your videos and been watching them since i think 2019 and funny enough your older videos were you break down how DOOM functions have really helped in my coding classes ( I am studying game design)
What a satisfying run, cheers!
At pinky charging towards you at break neck speed is the visual representation of anxiety.
Man, E1M6 is prolly one of my fav maps of this episode, alongside E1M7 and E1M9
OMG some of your rockets are PERFECT. The last room was intense.
this is a good lookin WAD, the designers did a good job with it.
hope they get recognition and find jobs in the industry.

Did you get all the items, Luke?

@@lukebehrendsbro. lol im yanking yer chain lmao
Sometimes you really do need a second head to hump against a wall with you. Doom gets ludicrous.
Great run as always Decino.
It's crazy that you're blazing through the whole chapter without major issues or problems on Nightmare.
Are you planning to do Episode 2 and 3?
Of course. Also 4 and Doom II.
@@decino what about the plutonia/tnt wads? Or did you already do those
@@fnutek3720Not yet. Would also add SIGIL (which he did before Doom II) and hopefully even the No Rest for the Living add-on for Doom II.
I can only imagine the horror of decino repeating the commentary until whenever he succeeds.
every video of this so far has been
"yeah this one is a breeze" (10 minutes of fear and anxiety)
This reminds me of Pacman.
The protagonist running in a maze, collecting snack pellets while the ghosts around him keep respawning.
Those Mr EATEMUPs are absolutely relentless in this level especially on nightmare mode lol YUMP YUMP YUMP.
"E1M6, I'm not worried about you."
[3 minutes of E1M6 outtakes watch through the blinds]
the starting of this theme is kind of catchy to me idk how to describe it
Decino is the doom god to me. He plays NM and UV spectacularly while I still wean on I'm too young to die.
As someone who's never really bothered with Nightmare difficulty or even watched any playthroughs on it by others, i really didn't appreciate how hard it can be! Especially in hitscan heavy maps like knee deep in the dead's! Good idea to do this decino, offers up something different from the norm. 👍

"your getting close decino wish you best luck ❤"
Delicious timing. Let's goooo!!
At first I was disappointed that Decino would be going back to vanilla Doom, but these Nightmare playthroughs are gripping. Extra fast Pinkies and fuzzy sowftware rendering Specters are a frigging nightmare.
When I was a child, I never have finished Doom I and II, and I was playing them like, one day I played the first one, the next day, I played the second one. And because of that, my memory made it, that I thought that in that big room, with red keycard, it were chaingunners, that were coming out of walls, after taking red keycard
5:15 all those rockets disappearing on the walls!
Epic adrenaline conclusion to the level
Those damn turbopinkies are rough!
Lol, that last shotgunner must've clipped your elbow that was poking around the corner.
Fun fact about the red key in this map: depending on the angle and speed you approach it you can pick up the red key without triggering the monster closets and you can just wait for that door to open back up
10:51 "Are you sure? This skill level isn't even remotely fair" *gets shot through a wall*
Getting close to babels tower good luck on that decino
Damn Shotgunners with their wall h4x. Unlucky!
SS tier shotgunner at the end there
I knew the final room is going to be intense.
"Doom isn't a horror game."
Specters on Nightmare difficulty: "Hold my beer."
I remember watching Peter do his charity livestream of this challenge, and the items on this map ruined his runs again and again and again. I also just tried this last night with fast monsters and that last pack of spectres killed all my runs.
Watching Decino made me think I was ready for old-school doom. I was not.
Not gonna lie, I get anxious just watching this playthrough
Are you sure you want to go for all the items? 5:15 I forgot about the rockets going through the wall like that.
This is the first map that sprung to mind when you announced 100% Items. That damn maze. No thanks.
Oh god, that room of doom at the end really is the nastiest bit of episode 1. It's nuts to think some of the original maps are still able to kill decino under the right conditions.
I applaud the backtracking attempt for the item. was a valiant attempt by the pumpkin man
I don't know why I like the midi on this map so much.
I don't know if it makes it better or worse if you imagine an invisible archvile is running around resurrecting everything.
This maps name is an endless source for inspiration
Gives me the urge to suddenly perform a really messed up wallrun rocket jump combo.
These pinkies are so aggressive and fast. The Maze was the fun part of this map
Great! Thx!
It felt like at times you were used to DOOM 2's one shot dead Pinkys via the SSG. . . . but then went - oh crap - no SSG so had to quickly swap back to the chaingun to stun lock them.
Ah yes, I predict that getting vore'd by pinkies will become a regular feature of the outtakes as the levels go on.
If I don't get an aussie who says "We're here today to mourn Azza who frickin' died" at my funeral, I'm not going.
Finally!
Imagine backtracking all the map on nightmare just for an armor bonus. Only decino does these weird things...
And I love it
You make this look easy. For me, this map on Nightmare... is *pain*
I fear no man... But THAT thing... *Nightmare Pinkies/Spectres*... They scare me
this was quite a sweatshow!
Whoa, what happened to the rockets here 5:15?
th-cam.com/video/9GoSRw4TDw0/w-d-xo.html
That happened to me too.
My Favorite level of the shareware wad!
That ending happens so often in multiplayer games
Feels like the could be featured relatively soon
Dude this is intense 😆
Yeah, that last room on this map suuuucks. I've died there so many times...
that failed run, ough! so brutal!
Greetings my favourite DoomTuber Decino 😍😍😍😍😍
I... Wow I have never seen that secret blue door.
I always wondered what I was missing...
The enemies keep respawning next to you because they enjoy your content.
That's right… _They_ "like and subscribe", too! (;
5:15 two rockets went *poof*
10:50 That shotgun used the IDCLIP cheat!😨
Looking forward to e1m8 probably my favourite level but can't take your time with the barons because of respawning pinkies though shouldn't be too bad long as you don't get cornered

Sort of already did that 3 years ago with fast monsters.
