This video features seven outtakes, mostly in clip form, and one successful demo for the challenge of killing all monsters from a pistol start on Map 01 of Sunder, 'Python', while taking no damage whatsoever, a.k.a. No Damage Completion (with no items or secrets in the map). Also included, with Decino's kind permission, are clips of his recent completion of the same map, in which he took 594 points of damage, despite surviving in one try (link further down this description).
There is commentary throughout the video, mostly recorded live as I streamed my attempts on Twitch.

Also there are clips of Decino's commentary, including at the very start.
Sunder is a popular Boom-compatible Doom 2 megawad first published by Insane Gazebo in 2009, but still a work in progress! I played on the latest (as of November 2022) version 'Sunder 2407.wad', which can be downloaded for free from:

Decino played the 2009 version, which differs only in the textures, and his video 'Sunder (2009) - MAP01: Python (Ultra-Violence 100%)' can be seen here:

I had already considered this map for No Damage tactics when Decino dropped his video. When I saw him make so many errors this increased my motivation to get a perfect demo myself. The chaingunners, as the only hitscanners, would be not much of an issue were it not for the Boom mechanics that allow them to not only be revived by archviles but also drop down onto the floor of the main building.
The successful run happened with a smaller audience on stream, unfortunately. Thanks to everyone who tuned in live.
If this video is well received I may speedrun the challenge --- it won't be easy to find ways to clear up the archviles quickly without being hurt though!
Let me know your thoughts on the camera shots used; I didn't want to cut footage much from the successful demo because of suspense, so I hope that seeing other angles makes for better entertainment.
Stand by for Sunlust Map 01 --- I will be speedrunning 'Chasing Suns' again on Tuesday 13th December at 4:30 p.m. to hopefully smash the 4 minute barrier. I have a World Record on that map of 4:00.43 at the time of writing, set in February 2021.
