Editor: youtube.com/channel/UCTQqNosY9b7iZAX4JXlWslwSo I Raced Against XAMIDE...Xiae2021-05-20 | I raced against the legendary Any% and 100% Ultra Nightmare Speedrunner Xamide. In this video, we race to get through The Ancient Gods 2 on Ultra Nightmare. This event happened on March 18, hours after the DLC dropped. We did not have the information we do now, so our routing was very rudimentary. Keep in mind that this is a friendly competition and that we have nothing against each other.

This event happened on March 18, hours after the DLC dropped. We did not have the information we do now, so our routing was very rudimentary.
★ TWITCH ★ twitch.tv/xiae ★ SPEEDRUN.COM ★ speedrun.com/doom_eternal#100 ★ SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE VIDEOS ★ youtube.com/c/XiaeGaming?sub_confirmation=1Twitch Chat Saves World Record Run AgainXiae2021-05-09 | This is a highlight from my most recent World Record Speedrun (1:54:50). In case anyone is confused, this is a 100% Speedrun, meaning all weapons must be collected, including the Unmakyr. We pick up the Unmakyr after completing Taras Nabad, but in order to pick up the Unmakyr you have to press the button twice. In this run, I pressed it once and forgot that I had to press it twice to receive the Unmakyr. On my way to the teleporter I received a text-to-speech, which reminded me that I have not picked up the Unmakyr.
We had broken it about a week ago with a 1:55:46, however, I wanted something a bit better before posting. Too bad for Nekravol, but we made it through! I am so proud of this Final Sin.
Take care all, Xiae

Energy shield decides to nope out at the worst time. Having to juggle three masteries on Final Sin, I hadn't noticed it until Twitch chat comes in with the clutchest text-to-speech save towards the end.
We've been doing a ton of speedruns recently trying to push the category as far as it can go. Come stop by at my twitch if you'd like to see them live :D!
I didn't think I would be back so soon. Xamide and James have both achieved sub 2 hours and are absolutely killing it, so it seems like a fun time to return.
Take care all, Xiae

Haven't played around too much with the DLC yet, but I'm going to put this run on a hold until rulings get worked out. As you can see, there are a bunch of fights that can be skipped even with the use of no major glitches (through jumping over fight triggers or avoiding them altogether). In the base game, we require fights granting combat ratings to be done, but there was nothing officially provided in this DLC unfortunately.
In the meantime, here is my last run while waiting for what can be done to make this category more interesting. There are some solutions being proposed that look promising, but an official response from id software would be the absolute best.
I stream pretty much all my playtime on twitch. Come stop by at twitch.tv/xiae.

Current WR performed on 10/7/2020. New wr: youtu.be/HZPJJTkJrRA
The new "ish" Restricted category that no longer allows despawns for fights that give combat rating. This means DHB, urdak, and final sin will be significantly slower. I'm happy that the time is so close to the old NMG time. The new lower bound for this run is now somewhere near the 2:05 mark.
BFG crash and Urdak were unfortunate but oh well. Happy with this time.

To all those requesting I try 100% UN, I finally got some time after the BTRL competition. Hope you enjoy :). This took many attempts to get down, but I'm finally comfortable enough with the route. The next goal is sub-2:10.
