Teaser After doing experimental run with "custom" checkpoints and proving it is SOMEWHAT possible, I am glad to share teaser for my challenge. Rules are simple, nightmare difficulty, no weapons, no pistol, no grenades are allowed. I am using elbow, barrels, monsters, and dirty "2 monsters left" trick. I have not finished the run yet, as of now I am finishing Kadingir Sanctum. I do not know if I will do bosses (in experimental challenge it took me 1.5 hour to beat cyberdemon), maybe I will leave for the very end. Run itself I am throwing into this playlist - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T039NfR_Yf8&list=PL9mnsYYef4wg_KbILYj0tU5sgkorvXkZw Hope you enjoy!

Dont care about pistol nor any other weapon. High hopes elbow will stay :D

So after approx 1 year I have finally finished elbowing my way through Doom (2016). I will probably make some highlights with some explaination about strange things I sometimes do which may not be obvious at first glance, but raw content is ready on my channel. It was definitely most insane and hardest challenge Ive done so far and there were moments when I was ready to give up (Last fight before Spider Mastermind took me 4 months to complete) I am waiting for Doom Eternal :)

In theory, yes. However, Sarges bfg attack is completely on other level, because I simply cannot dodge it. My hp would run hundred times faster than his :D Believe me I tried multiple runs, it is undoable, unless I am missing some glitch I could use PS. My post was refering to Doom (2016)

to ones that follow: I am stuck on the last wave before spider mastermind, haven't used guns on monsters so far.. Monsters infighting and, what I call "stucking" monsters is coming very handy :D I think I am stuck on this wave for over 3 weeks now, I hold my nerves on the line to be entitled to brag in the future, but this is by far the most ridiculous thing I have ever done in my gaming career. I wonder if I will find a weakness or a way to beat SM without guns :( Fingers crossed guys

Does it take away the smile on my face? :/

Oh my god you are lifesaver! Thank you so much! :D Need to go home and test it, cant wait

Came to this topic by accident, actually was looking for an answer is there a possibility to save your game at any moment instead of minor checkpoints.. From all no weapons challenge games Ive been doing, Doom is most difficult one, and challenging hordes of monsters aside, lack of save games is the most painful issue for me.. Still, I am not giving up yet :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dNLHX6pWYs But, to the topic itself, I haven't played the entire game yet, but for skilled players I think nightmare is enough challenging.. I even started to deeply regret that I took on my no weapons challenge :D

Flashlight OP? :D Doable of course, difference is it would take twice as much to kill (fists 20hp dmg, flashlight 40hp dmg)

Thanks :D As long as possible, I will stick to melee attacks, otherwise if Im stuck I will use pistol as any means necessary

You get -5hp every second.. As far as I remember @7:45 4 seconds more, enjoying mancubus fight and I would need to restart level :D PS. Eventually started Doom (2016).. Lack of quick saves is challenging my patience :/

Just a short bump, Ive uploaded entire gameplay on my channel :)

Oh, I died in my playthrough. Sometimes.. Over, and over, and over again :D There were few moments that Ive almost gave up - 1) In Recycling fight with Mancubuses, I haven't ever realised that you have a timer until the area gets rather.. polluted, and I needed to rush to beat em up with flashlight which deals 40 dmg against 1000 hp of Mancubus. 2) Hell - As funny as it sounds, three imps on the beginning gave me a really hard time. Also few moments later, two imps together with lost souls all over the place 3) CPU Complex, the very beginning with bazillions of monsters 4) Caverns Area 1 - Commandos with Miniguns are impossible to kill with flashlight, and there are really lots of them there. If I would mark the hardest moment in my playthrough, this would get the first reward. :)

Brilliant. More games like Doom or more Dooms

Well yeah, I was getting shocked myself sometimes about monsters' strange behaviour.. Trites blowing up themselves, pinky getting stuck all the time, chainsaw zombie running on electric tracks and stuff like that :) Moreover, while playing I was often using other monsters to fight between each other, and until know I can't really figure out how it works. Ive even made a little research: 1) Some monsters are - as I would say - aggressive, some are passive. Aggressive ones which will fight back: Cocademon, Revenant, Arch-Vile, Hell-knight. Passive - supposedly - are the rest. I do not know about Mancubus, he has always popped up in places without aggressive monsters. Frankly, he showed up only alone or with Cherubs. 2) Aggressive ones will not fight another aggressive type. Exception to this rule is Revenant, which attacks everyone except his own types. I may be wrong in some cases, but I really admire those "rules" among demons. On the top of that, if you spend a little time with monsters it seems each has its own life and own "issues". All of this makes this game so unique :D
