A Zone 400 D2All UV Max speedrun for classic doom. I must beat the entire mapset with one life only and no savegames nor checkpoints, and get all kills and secrets. This was attempt 34, after about 2 weeks of routing and practice.
Honestly, 2 weeks to get this run was not a bad investment all things considered, especially since I managed to beat both the previous record and my own goal (sub 1h40) on the first exit. So I'm happy with this run and I'll stop running this for now.
Unfortunately I can't say I enjoyed maxing this mapset very much. Zone400 was a great fun experience for casual play, but in a speedrun setting where you need to get 100% kills, the random teleporting lines shuffling all the monsters around get old very very quickly. That's the biggest reason why routing and practicing this run was so frustrating from the start. Doom already has a crap ton of RNG... the monsters teleporting around is a factor that doesn't add any fun when you have a set timelimit to achieve and need to find that last kill that teleported somewhere unpredictably.
On that note, Map 30 is probably one of the worst maps to max that I have ever seen. Beyond just what I stated in the paragraph above, both the IOS AND the random teleporters can telefrag you through your invulnerability at any point in time. That is NOT a good way to end a run, especially if you need to run around the map for minutes, because there's one final kill lost somewhere in the middle of all the IOS spawns...
Anyway, this is done. I don't think I'm trying this again. So GL to anyone going for the sub 1h30 minute goal, which is totally possible btw with more aggressive strategies. So happy facerockets to you. With all the random teleporters, you can be sure those are going to happen.
