#TheLords#Reality#Doom2
This video comprises thirteen successful demos and one outtake, some in clip form, of attempts at the challenge of scoring all monsters, the secret and both items in Scythe's Map 10 'The Lords', with no damage taken whatsoever, until the death exit. These demos culminate in the UV Max + Reality + Items World Record run for this map.
Scythe is a popular 32-level vanilla-compatible megawad completed by Erik Alm and Kim 'Torn' Bach in 2003, and can be downloaded for free from: https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/megawads/scythe
Yes, this level has just 6 enemies so I was guilty of taking it lightly at first. However, I soon recognised the dilemma of which weapons to pick up in the starting area before eventually settling on just the rocket launcher. Although a freak accident started my experiment of only using the rocket launcher, I probably needed plenty of practice and a decent sub-50 second record to give me the nothing-to-lose mentality as well.
Another dilemma presented is whether to jump from the switch that releases the barons immediately (the safer method), or to kill one baron from the switch platform before jumping down for ammo (the quicker way).
Erik Alm's monster placement once again wins the day, because keeping the mancubuses alive to get them fighting the barons is an unthinkable strategy, at least for no damage play.
