Description:
This is splitted demo from a d2all attempt, I died in map18.
Some stats :
- Total demos : 1971
- Map02 deaths : 1247
- Map03 deaths : 88
- Map04 deaths : 42
- Map09 deaths : 52
Disclaimer : I want to thank Zero-master for the nice setup for the MAP08's void glide. He gave me 3 differents setups over time, and the last one (used in this demo) is waaaay easier than the two others.
This glide honestly makes this demo possible. I'm not even sure if I could survive map09 with map08's normal ending. So kudos to ZM, he is a real hero.
I missed some shots in map01 mostly because I was looking at the Twitch chat x)
The first map is really easy with this route, even if I could still die within the first 5 seconds.
In map02, killing the Pain Elemental (I named it James) and his 2 body guards Cacodemons (Peter and Diana according to Dashie :) makes this route a bit easier, but it was still a huge choke point.
I died too much in this map, mostly because of the gap you need to cross to get the keys and the secret. There were always monsters below it, ready to block me...
This is one of the few demos where I fail the linedef skip at the yellow door, I got pushed by a shotgunner waking up the two chaingunners :/
Power control isn't a difficult map, all I need to do is to keep a high value of armor point (I've usually the green armor at this point) to survive the ending rooms.
If I start map04 with less than 30hp, I'm litterally dead at spawn : there are 7 shotgunners, 1 chaingunner, 1 Imp & 3 Spectres...
Also there are 6 additionnal chaingunners that are released the moment I grab the RL secret.
Sometimes the HK and the 2 shotgunners didn't move in the exit room so I could also die teleporting back to the start trying to exit the level...
The routes used in map05 & map06 are pretty safe, those maps aren't really difficult. It's just some normal nightmare! survival maps.
The first room and the last room of Prison are honestly the worst parts of this level.
Near the beginning, that baron gave me so much trouble, as it was continuously respawning during attempts. Yeah, that was exhausting...
The last room isn't that difficult, but the monster types and placements can easily get you down. Keep in mind that I should not have any armor here too...
Also the final teleport sequence is annoying because you can be blocked by respawned spectres/imps below, similarly to MAP02.
Map08 isn't really difficult at all, I just need to keep as many health/armor points as possible for map09. The void glide setup is really easy to do, thx to ZM.
Of course, this time I was running out of bullets... So I'll start map09 with low health and armor, great...
That pinky was also super annoying. Honestly, fuck you pinky.
And now, time for map09...
This map isn't that hard, I mean, to me it's easier than map02. I had to practice A LOT on this on.
I used some new strategies here to be able to finish that map pretty safely :
- I used the RL at the start to kill monsters near the medikit and to easily blow the barrels. It help me later to not blow myself up going through that corridor :)
- I was waiting for ~2 mins after the red key to drain all the monsters near the red switch and pack them near my position to kill them easily.
- In the small corridor with the berzerk secret, I used the RL to kill the monsters near the blue key, and also used the RL to kill some monsters in the stairs. It helped me passing through more easily and safer.
- At the blue key, shooting some rockets before falling down to the beserk is quite powerful, allowing me to clear the rooms around me.
- After getting the 10th secret, I went to the RL secret to wait another 3 mins to pack all the monsters near the start, so that I can kill them easily and go through them faster and safer.
The rest of the strats comes from Ancalagon's IL WR in NMS and ZM's d2all NM Speed.
That was the first time I enter the last two rooms, I was stressed as fuck.
Honestly, I was really surprised to survive this map with that starting health/armor points. Everything had to be perfect... But heh, I still did it :)
Finally, I had to do Map10 in one go. I can't mess this one up. Luckily I practiced it during that stream to make sure nothing went wrong.
50 seconds isn't too bad considering that I exited Map09 for the first time.
I wasn't prepared for the full run, I thought I would die in map14 or 32. In the end, I died because I didn't remember the exact route I had to do in map18,
I was stuck by a horde of Pain Elementals right before the invulnerability sphere... I'm not sad about it, I'll take some vacations before attempting the d2all now.
I'll practice map 10-30 and then try the full run again :)
