Comments: Pacifist is by far the MOST intricate challenge yet!
Not only can you NOT pull out the BFG and turn him to
chunks of meat, but you can NOT EVEN pull out your
pistol or punch him into submission!
It makes for a VERY different playing style, and I
enjoyed it tremendously! How about a round of applause
for the guys who dreamed this up!
When I began this challenge, I thought it would be
like Tyson style - not so! The skills used are in
some respects the same (like the dodging and clinging
onto every shred of health) but Pacifist concentrates
more on dodging and survival when running through the
bowels of hell, while Tyson encourages you to go
wild with fist or chainsaw. In many respects, Tyson is
MUCH easier, because one can punch out the demons
onesself, but in another way, pacifist is easier
because you don't HAVE to kill all the enemies.
What would be interesting is trying to get a
Incubus/Pacifist or Pacifist/Master(or Tyson - makes
no difference) or Velox/Pacifist (Pacifist/FAST
monsters?) mixture. (Just for the helluvit :)
Anyway, enough babble.
E3M7: Definitely easy, though I don't look very great
in this lmp (I just started playing doom again - 1st
time in a month :)
I don't know what I am doing, and I only have a sketchy
idea of where to go. I could redo it...naaah
Authentication is almost at the end (I do it while
watching lost souls infight) .
E4M5: Not that I have much qualification for making
this call, but 4-5 is an easy medium. A little bit
of luck, a need for speed, and a few tricks make this
level simple.
Get the green armor - it really helps, and it drags
the imps away from the door to the red key room
Once you get the soul sphere, dodge the first skull
and just ram into the second. Because his attacks do
so little damage and he moves backward (and you have
approx 150%H and a bit of armor) you will make it out
of the passage with a decent amt of health. Then, it
is a race for the exit.
Authent at begin
E2M7: Not so much hard as it is long and demanding of
attention. The blue key is easy to get to. Use the
baron and imps and cacos to kill off the demon
population in the next room. I think the baron even
died but I'm not sure (I can't find his body in the
lmp. Get the 1st invuln to get the yellow and get to
the 2nd invuln. Use the second baron to kill everyone
and drag all the imps from around the red key to the
baron to be "processed" hehehehe ;) The hardest
part of this level is keeping your mind on what you are
doing. My attention slipped a couple of times, and
I nearly paid the price (Baron got me with a huge
scratch, two demons nearly trapped me in that same
place and then I calmly watch as the imp hits me with
a fireball)
Then, it is just easy to duck the caco and hit the
switch.
BTW the second baron dies - his body is in the corner
where the spectre is.
37:08 minutes of boring material
The authent is in the red key area, after it has been
mostly cleared out (just outside yellow door)
Free interpretation: E4M9, pacifist and a bit of E4M3
I just FELT like doing 4-9 pacifist, and then
I realized I forgot to authent so I do it in 4-3
(after clearing out some baddies) and then I fight
half heartedly until I die.
Author info: DOOM maniac.
In DHT5 I had 5 titles (Although my last title was
sent in about 15 minutes after the log was updated
for the last time, so it hasnt been officially
recognized yet...)
That includes D1M, D2M, D1GM, D1SG, D1T I think...
This is my 3rd DHT6 Title: D1M6 D2M6 D1P6
Next stop? D1T6
Thanks to: id, of course.
