Sandy Petersen's The Chasm is foreboding with hitscanners and slime. How did I take No Damage and pull off some stylish BFG shots? Also featuring some analysis from Decino of a surprising incident...

Let's do practice and attempts for No Damage Completion in Doom 2's controversial Map 24 'The Chasm'. Is this map on the cutting edge, or in the pit of slime? Join us to share in its glory/infamy. https://www.twitch.tv/pjplaysdoom

Thanks, Yousuf. I'm glad you like this channel. Speaking of keeping it up, here is '3000 AD', the penultimate map of Scythe's 2nd episode. A horde of imps, sniping zombies and archviles --- yet No Damage is very doable. Find out how...

Another Mastermind in this map, it's Doom 2's iconic Map 23. The barrels are not a problem for No Damage, quite the opposite. But the chaingunners and Pain Elementals? That's another story...

I really appreciated Decino's comments in his video 'The Biggest Problem With Blind Playthroughs' in which he realised that expecting to find everything in a map first time is the player's problem, not the mapper's. If a map is exploration-based like AA Map 31, the mapper should be disappointed if players find all secrets on their first run. Having more puzzles to figure out is a good thing. While the Stewboy map isn't everyone's favourite, it has its place and Decino's frustration shouldn't make the mapper feel like they failed in some capacity.

Scythe Map 18 'MS Futura' features just 25 monsters, but the Mastermind, her romance with a distant Baron and that very difficult SR50 jump made this a long-lasting No Damage challenge.

Arrival is a marvellous episode-length wad that will give me some really tough No Damage challenges. Map 03 was suggested by LadyMistDragon and one chaingunner in particular had a starring role. Watch and discover why:

When I saw that 4ShockBlast had the World Record for No Damage on The Catacombs but GarrettChan was 19 seconds behind, I thought finishing between them would be a good result. Things went a little better than that...

I promised I would revisit Sunlust's first map. I did NOT promise I would take a lot of time off the previous speedrunning record, yet... Find out how fast I went in 2023!

Decino has been playing Sunder and had an off-day recording the first map. Let's see (cautiously) how to take No Damage in Python...

Now I've studied in the library and out-smarted the Book Lords, but I needed some daredevil moments to get the World Record demo!

A long-overdue return to Skillsaw's masterpiece now. Map 32 of Valiant has even more modified monsters. How hard is it to take No Damage?

So sorry guys, I made an error with the complevel so that previous 'record' wasn't valid. I ran the challenge yet again (!) and submitted the demo BEFORE making the video so it's absolutely fine. But did I go faster?
