My Complex Doom permadeth challenge run of Hell Revealed IV is Done...NO Deaths!

I just completed my very first Video Game Challenge run people. The game is doom 2 (modded). The mods are:

A) Complex Doom
B) LCA for complex Doom
C) Random Monsters pack for Complex Doom
D) My monster pack for complex doom
E) Various scary sound mods
F) A fog mod
G) A megawad with new enemies and weapons that is part of the Ultimate Hell Revealed Package,
the wad I chose was HR4.wad

I chose Hr4.wad because it was one of the easier ones to do a Permadeth challenge run in. Harder ones would have drastically increased the chance I would die by a big chunk, so stuff like hr5,666,777 would not work. I played through maps 1-30 in complex doom and other mods and survived with NO DEATHS!... Repeat NO DEATHS!

It was amazing!

Lots of hard fights. I made them look easy. I can't count the times I annihilated hordes of cyberdemons and archviles (!) without being seriously hurt because I had the 500 health sphere from LCA and the Rune. Ice Gun and Demon Tech Rifle made it easy to do. Only had a few tough fights.

One was with 2 Darkviles, partially invisible, yet far more deadly  version of archviles. They seriously hurt me. I ended up killing them with the Rocket Launcher and Demon Tech bfg. It worked.

Another fight was with  the insanely overpowered Legendary cyberdemon. He almost killed me! But I survived to kick his ass with the lowly Quad Shotgun! That was the best part of the entire run by far, right there. It is in part 11 of the playthrough I will post below... (it is linked here, it's the first video)




It was a blast to play and record. Youtube gave me some issues though... Once it gave me the dreaded "User does not own and cannot manage the video" error message. Once on my other channel I kept getting that. But  this time it was Not permanent thank god. The playthrough is complete and the challenge run is successfull.

This is the FIRST TIME IN HISTORY, someone has played and beaten a Slaughtermap Megawad (randomly generated or not - that doesn't matter) in a super hard mod and failed to die at least once. Everyone else who plays slaughter map megawads in Complex Doom has completely been slaughtered... One guy tried to play hell revealed with complex doom. He got his ass kicked by mere weak enemies in map3. Nevermind the stronger hordes in later maps which he did not fare well against. Same thing with another guy who tried alien vendetta in complex doom with commentary. He had to reload over and over again because legendaries kicked his ass. Not me! Legendaries I pwned in this run. Only one legendary was a threat to me and that was the Leg Cyber in map25. Everything else I pwned with my ice gun or demon tech rifle + Rune. It was fun.. AND... It's a first for me being my first successful challenge run but also it's a first for Doom. And that I love...

I won't be doing any more challenge runs for the game or any other game. Challenge runs are way to hard and way to stressful. You have to be insanely lucky to pull off what I just did. I got VERY lucky today. Other people aren't so lucky. They run into insanely hard enemies that have insta-death and rapid fire insta-death and even AOE Insta-death attacks. I know. It happened to me a few times in complex doom. But this time that did not happen.  I got VERY lucky due to that alone. And I got very lucky that I got so many 500 health sphere dropped for me. That was insane. And no rune ripping! (my term for when a seriously hard enemy kills you and when you resurrect (like I do to save time) you loose your rune). I kept my rune from map03-30 and that was great! I also was pwning enemies right and left with the ice gun, demon tech rifle and legendary autoshotgun, nevermind the Demon Tech and normal BFG's. That was a blast... I will do a partial map1-11 playthrough of a newer wad I made but in terms of full wad playthroughs, (never mind challenge runs) this is the end people........
