Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders: E4M1 BP-Max Under 10 Minutes Challenge (8:39)
This is a challenge for the game Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders in which I try to beat E4M1 with all kills and secrets in under 10 minutes on the Black Plague Possesses Thee Difficulty. I suppose it's sort of a speed run, but I doubt I'm breaking any real Heretic records that were probably made ages ago. I am however showing that this level can be done on this difficulty in under 10 minutes, so that's something! This was done via GZDoom, because there aren't too many source ports that allow 144fps gameplay. Sorry Chocolate Heretic, I can't go back to 35fps for something like this. There are some subtle gameplay changes too, so keep that in mind if you decide to try to do this run yourself.
Shout out to the Hexen/Heretic Discord for providing the scared Corvus for the thumbnail. You can go to that server here:

MODS USED (All of these shouldn't affect gameplay too much, aside from the first one):
https://github.com/mmaulwurff/idclever-starter (idclever-starter, forces a pistol/wand start in every level - should be compatible with many Doom engine games and mods)
https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?t=54992 (SpriteShadow, which gives the enemies Build Engine-style shadows)
https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?t=36713 (Heretic Sprite Fixing Project, fixes some minor issues with sprites)
https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?t=64299 (Brightmaps plus, adds some lighting to certain textures to make them stand out in peculiar sets of lighting - this version is compatible with the sprite fixes of the above mod)
lights.pk3 (included with GZDoom by default, adds some visual flare to maps)
