This is a tool-assisted speedrun that devestates first 3 maps of Eviternity WAD. I made this TAS in July, 2019. More than a half of the movie is made in XDRE, but some moments are still made in slow motion in PrBoom+. It consists of 142 segments (replay appends).

----- Comments -----

Map 1 - Inauguration (in 0:50.70):

Actually, this is my first attempt in beating a map in UV-Max category, but I think it's pretty well done. The map is not that hard. It was easy to utilize the potencial of my fast shooting pistol. Seems like it's accuracy is better comparing to original Doom pistol.
Since I always have somebody to shoot, I was mainly holding triggers tilted as long as possible. Looks cool.

Map 2 - Subterranean (in 1:30.40):

I have run out of bullets, so I had to utilize my shotgun that time. Chaingun would still be better though. Berserk is a really useful item here since this map has a lot of one-punch monsters. Manipulating RNG was difficult. Some monsters were really tough to die and sometimes I was seeing nothing better than taking damage and/or wasting time. I would save several seconds

Also, I forgot to kill a spectre at the very beginning becuase I was expecting him to walk out to the lake area where another demon was. Unfortunately, I can't light up alive monsters in XDRE like in GlBoom+ so I had walked past him. Sooner, I realized it and spent one more day to remake a half of the map again. That was a huge work! =(

Map 3 - Drain (in 1:47.31):

This map requires advanced planning and I'm not sure if my route is the fastest one. Too bad you have not much ammo for the Plasma Gun, but for me it was good. I was getting extremely bad RNG through the whole Map 3. It's not seen in real time, but XDRE was showing me 5, 10, 15, 20 damage from each plasma projectile all the time. Super shotgun is my best friend since it shows middle finger to the random and just does what I want.

The horde of demons is another wick link here. I should have alerted them and run to revenants immediately to make them kill more demons afterwards. Some of them would still stick near the shotgunners and a cacodemon anyway because they are too to find a good route to me.

I screwed up with the last secret that didn't count because I wasn't fully inside the secret area. That's the reason why I dropped speedrunning this WAD.

Even though I'm more experienced now, I don't have any plans on revisiting Eviternity, unless I get much encouragement. This video is just a compilation to replace old movies that were recorded in 50 fps which looked terrible.
