#NoDamage #TheLivingEnd #Reality
A demo of Doom II's MAP 29 'The Living End' from pistol start, scoring all monsters, items and secrets while sustaining no damage, with commentary.
For many months I would have a go at this map, but largely as a joke. Many tactical advances needed to be discovered before I started taking the challenge seriously as a possibility, but the poison that must be traversed late on after the horrible revenant/zombie teleporter still makes this map very difficult indeed.
That's why I developed the mathematical tic-counting technique for making such poison crossings pretty much risk free. A lot of research is needed to make it work, but when it takes me many hours to get that far on a valid attempt at the map, it is certainly worth the effort. I don't want to be taking chances, getting hurt by the slime and taking many more hours to have another chance!
Do ask me any questions you have about tic counting, I will be using this technique in other maps in future, which is why I have made this video out of sequence after usually progressing through the maps in numerical order.

It has come to my attention, by slowing down footage enough to see individual tics, that the player takes damage on tic number 1, 33, 65, 97 etc., not 32, 64, 96.... However it IS the multiples of 32 when it is determined whether Doomguy gets hurt, it just takes 1 tic before the damage is taken.
