Deemed impossible to beat in one segment; the infamous slaughter-map of Okuplok is analyzed in this series. This tutorial explains several survival strategies for the second fight: the Mastermind Prison.
Update: Okuplok has now been beat saveless on ULTRA-VIOLENCE: youtu.be/Cl3jW_VdJRw
Okuplok is considered by many as the most difficult doom map ever created (even though the verdict on that is still up to debate). 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 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. 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.
