Deemed impossible to beat in one segment; the infamous slaughter-map of Okuplok is analyzed in this series. This tutorial explains survival strategies for the fourth fight: the Mancubus Cliff.
Update: Okuplok has now been beat saveless on ULTRA-VIOLENCE: youtu.be/Cl3jW_VdJRw
IMPORTANT NOTE: Before starting this fight go back to the Mastermind Prison and enter the teleporter. This resets your angle back to shorttics, which will be crucial on later fights.
Okuplok is considered by many as the most difficult doom map ever created. The map is heavily criticized for it's wildly varying levels of difficulty between each fight, together with a major health and armor starvation. This makes it extremely frustrating as a challenge, especially when you die to a difficult fight, after having cleared several easy (and borderline boring) fights for 3 hours. Some consider that the only reason why no one has single-segmented Okuplok on UV yet, is because no one even wants to try. I wouldn't be surprised.
Regardless of the criticism, Okuplok is popular, and many players struggle with several of it's difficult fights. With a scientific approach to these fights, this video's purpose is to help those players with guidelines, strategies, statistics, and other useful tips. I did a thorough research of the known strategies for these fights, but in case I missed something: feel free to give your feedback in the comment section below. Any new information can help everyone else who's struggling!
All the footage for this video series was recorded on Ultra Violence difficulty.
