Tons of secret rooms, branching paths, and this signed floor with lights that I believe they generate way too many visplanes, so no idea how this ran without lag issues on 1994.ĭeaths: 0 (UV Playthrough - Chocolate Doom) Even though this map is an actual threat in comparison to previous levels, this one has tons of goodies that are going to mantain hardcore doomers pretty healthy along their playthrough. Also, here appears our first encounter with heavier enemies such as the Cacodemons and Lost Souls, and of all things, our first view at the new monster, the Hell Knight, which was back in '94, frightening, probably because people thought at first glance this was a Baron of Hell, but quickly noticed that he was less tanky, so at the end of the day, there wasn't any more trouble than this. Here is our first PG right on MAP05, on a secret room which is hard to find. For starters, this map is our first (And probably one of the only ones) labyrinth type of map in Doom 2, pretty similar to E1M4 in terms of maze-like progression (Doom had tons of maps like this), and has a lot of interconection in-between the different paths, so I liked this map because of the Doom 1 feels, although it looks kinda bland at first because of 'Brownage', this one feels good to play.Īt first, here is a SSG for your troubles, because this is going to be a threatening level, because of all the traps it has (imp pits being the worst), so be careful of where you walk. Because of the looks and how I always remember it, speedrunning to the RK and leaving the map totally unexplored, by previous gameplays I felt this map was kind of meh, but actually I think I underrated this map, by 100%-ing it, I could enjoy this one a little bit more. Here we have another sewer-like map by McGee, this one more brown than MAP02. MAP05 - 'The Waste Tunnels' - American James McGee (100%K/I/S):
