A guy with nickname JCD who is a nightmare expert tried to do this for thousands of attempts(90% of them ended on lvl 2 btw). He did this torturous grind for months and months. On his best attempt he died at map 27 and gave up. Hundreds of hours were put into this. When I realised, he won't back to this, I thought that's it. No one would have enough determination and skill to do it. This is literally the hardest thing on nightmare that could be done in IWADs. No way, it happened! The ultimate master of doom returned with a new insane accomplishment. Huge congratulations!
@@K4inan years old? Hell no, but Zero Master tried his best to improve level routes for years. Without his contribution there would be no humanly possible strategies at all(especially for hellish maps 8 and 9). Also, should I mention that he is still the only one who completed TNT:evilution D2all on nightmare?
@@K4inan TNT's Map 09 - Stronghold, is probably THE hardest official level to do on Nightmare, it's a neverending hailstorm of bullets all over, it was the last official level to get beaten on this difficulty, and it took until about 2014 until someone finally did,. People thought it outright wasn't possible, so anyone who's recorded a demo where they reached the exit of THIS map on THIS difficulty is someone who should be regarded as highly skilled at Doom. And here we have good old ZeroMaster doing it with 100% secrets. *Man.*
If not for Metal void glide I would say that Stronghold would've been impossible to complete. In his NM run he finished Metal with 100 healt and it was lucky - and was barely able to complete m9 without 100% secrets requirement. There he entered Stronghold with 200/99 stack. Metal last room is brutal and you can't realistically expect to end it with 200/99. For this to happen you need to have 1) possible void glide on m8; 2) one that allows you to take 100% secrets; 3) one that allows you to end the level with 200/99. This is an extremely rare occasion and a pure luck that this one exists right before the most difficult map of the run.
decino finished his Doom 2 Nightmare! run and now Zero Master is here with TNT on Nightmare! And of course right before that was Coincident's saveless run of Okuplok Absolutely amazing stuff from the Doom community lately.
Just last night I was perusing YT thinking "Zero Master hasn't posted in a while... I wonder what absurd challenge he's working on at the moment," and lo and behold! I haven't even watched it yet, but I know it's going to be epic! Kudos in advance, Sir.
TNT has its flaws, but it's very dear to my heart and has a lot of highlights. Map09 is one of my favorite iwad levels, and watching people pull off NM runs of that level alone is _incredibly_ exciting for how stupidly intense it gets, the level of gameplay is so insanely high.
This is actually insane. Map 02 and map 09 are incredibly, incredibly difficult on nightmare, let alone while getting 100% secrets. The amount of hitscan really makes TNT brutal on NM. And the fact that this is a single segment run is amazing. Excellent job Zero Master, I'm still amazed a run like even exists! Lol You really are one of the best doom players!
Me when trying to sit through a 2 hour movie: -_- Me when Zero Master uploads a 2 hour TNT 100% Nightmare run: O_O Also very nice with using the TNT MIDI Pack, made the run even better to watch.
Keep in mind the only reason it's this long is because he was going for all secrets. If it was an any% speedrun this video would only be about 20 minutes long lol
Outstanding run, Zero Master! TNT is already much harder than Doom 1 or 2, but that difficulty gets amplified so, so much more on Nightmare. This must have taken ages. Thank you again for playing with the MIDI pack - it's a real honor! :)
I wasn't paying attention to it before, but when Map 4 started it instantly hit me that you were playing with the midi pack. Man that song is fucking great.
Okay, I've just finished my daily job and was going to relax by watching something on RUclips. Then I see this video. And now I know how I'll spend the next two hours. Thanks, ZeroMaster, for such great job and great entertainment!
For someone who has been playing tnt: Evilution since the 90's, it really is embarrassing just how many new secrets I learned from watching this video. Superb speedrun as always Mr. Zero Master. Superb.
Huge congrats on clearing TNT! I can't imagine how much time went into crafting a strategy for and practicing Map02 and Map09 especially. Also, even in the situations where you take a lot of damage, your movements, while fast, still appear smooth and not panicky, at least to me anyway, showcasing how effectively you're able to think on your feet. Major props!
Absolutely epic! So great to see you pushing the original IWADs so much. This is a great achievement. The combination of Nightmare and Speedrunning really emphasises the tough balance between survival and speed. It is particularly noticable for this run that there is a shift towards survival as completing this successfully is such a challenge, particularly in single segmenting the whole IWAD. Been a joy following your exploits and many thanks for your detailed descriptions, I love to read your thoughts and approaches! Well done, once again! Thanks!
Freakin amazing run you did there. Can't imagine how well I would do under this situation so I gotta conquer this by beating this game without saving which might redeem myself doing so. Also congrats on the 69K subs. 🙂👏
Falling below 50% Health on Nightmare Most people: Oh-shit-oh-crap-oh-shit-oh-crap Zero Master: *chuckles* I'm in danger. Congrats on getting through this insane run, Zero Master!
You were quiet with uploads recently mr. zero-master, so I was wondering what new crazy doom feat you were attempting... And well, you never dissappoint.
This is a truly epic accomplishment. Some things are rendered insane by the immense amount of care needed to optimize a ten second strategy, but this stands on its own due to the sheer effort needed for a single successful run. I have seen people throw themselves at this project and shatter against it like a glass on stone. Kudos to the first, and quite possibly ONLY ever successful single segment run.
I remember trying to beat TNT on NM and never getting past map 09. Its crazy to me the kind of strats ZeroMaster used to beat 08 and 09. Could never do something like this. Hats off to the best Doom player there is.
I'm sure I don't understand just how big a deal this is. Had a chuckle at the missed key on map 18. I guess even gods make mistakes sometimes. Also forgot how fricking huge some of these maps are. Great work!
Very nice run. Loved the waiting strategy on map 9 to drive stuff away from where you wanted to go. Genius stuff and some very close calls too.
GG
After seeing this, I think Zero Master will the first in doing non-TAS Okuplok on UV
He was also letting the monsters spawn back in so there were no surprises
I was wondering why there was like... 8 minutes of sitting doing nothing in that level.
Civvie 11 spinning in his grave right now, and he's not even dead.
He's spinning in the Clown Room which is close enough.
Civvie is definitely dead
Depends, the civvie from which timeline?

This is in the conversation for the single greatest achievement in Doom speedrunning history
Congratulation!!
Many new speed run feats are being accomplished at Doom as we approach for the 30th anniversary. I need to keep up the good work too.
The Movement
The Aim
The Counting
The Timing
The Map skill
Pure Gold
Human BBQ and Stronghold must’ve been absolutely brutal to complete in one segment. You have never failed to disappoint us! Excellent stuff!
If not for Metal void glide I would say that Stronghold would've been impossible to complete.

Say that again, but slowly
1:22:05 absolutely perfect timing. what an amazing shot. such a subtle moment of absolute mastery.

Absolutely amazing stuff from the Doom community lately.
Right? The heat is on now for Decino lol. I'm so glad there's a community out there keeping this game alive. 👍
We've also got Tatsurd's movie run of Requiem in UV Max coming up too
kinetic sub-3 sunlust d2all will come soon probably but he's taking a break to focus on his personal life so idk
I hope Decino will get inspired by this to do his own run.
@@billabobytis the sunder d2all the classic 2009 or the newest? Just curious, seems very interesting.

110 minutes of epicness. After the release of Final Doom, it was worth to wait 27 years to see this. Well played 👏👏👏
Love your wads bro.

Decino is doing a Nightmare playthough of DOOM II?
ZeroMaster: Hold my beer
Single segments TNT on Nightmare..
Priceless.
Wow, Civvieee, I summon you to enjoy this.
My favorite WAD!
Evilution Nightmare perfect
Me when trying to sit through a 2 hour movie: -_-
Me when Zero Master uploads a 2 hour TNT 100% Nightmare run: O_O
Also very nice with using the TNT MIDI Pack, made the run even better to watch.
Zero, these videos are so enjoyable to watch. Thanks for creating and sharing this content.
Wow, you played through all of TNT Evilution in one sitting? That's a feat no one's ever had the mental fortitude to do before!
The 1990's would like to have a word with you ;)
Keep in mind the only reason it's this long is because he was going for all secrets. If it was an any% speedrun this video would only be about 20 minutes long lol
Well, I'll never be this good, but I'm glad someone out there is.
The legend is back! We miss you Zero Master
Indeed amazing job on Human BBQ.
No fucking way, NO FUCKING WAY 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
You must be excited asf now lol
Thank you so much for this, Final Doom is so underrated!
The best kind of lunatic! Keep up the good work!
The master has returned.
My heart rate goes up just from watching. Many tnanks!
Very timely for Civvie's 30 days of TNT, haha! Incredible run, man!
I need Civvie and Decino to comment on this. Great work as always Zero Master

Yesterday watched your channel, if i might have missed a newspeedrun. And i didnt, thought you might have taken a break. this is sick. TNT 1 sigment..
What a run, couldn't expect anything less from Zero master though!
And that's a hell of a great music pack too!
You do beautiful work. Thanks for the video
You absolute madman! Congrats. Also that remixed soundtrack is awesome.
Typical Tuesday for Zero Master 😎

This run is amazing! Congratulations Zero Master
The legend, the unbeaten, the one who stands head and shoulders above all competition, is BACK. All hail, ZERO MASTER!!! 🙌
Almost 2 hours, oh god. And the timing couldn’t be more perfect XD
For someone who has been playing tnt: Evilution since the 90's, it really is embarrassing just how many new secrets I learned from watching this video.
Superb speedrun as always Mr. Zero Master. Superb.
The lost soul flying by at 1:42:45 near the end of mount pain , is great
Incredible! GG!

Awesome play always!
Incredible. I never thought the day would come.
I thought this (TNT NM 100%) was impossible, but you are also the one who makes the impossible possible.
Indeed. I always say that it isn't impossible, it's just nobody has done it yet
When you said you were planning something big, I didn't expect this. GG man, amazing run

Incredible stuff as always bud. gg.
Congrats!
I knew this video would come one day, I have watched your OG NM run of this game like 100 times
Bruh this is crazy. Great job on Stronghold there.
this and coincidents okuplok run making this a wild week in doom history gratz zero master
Yeeeeey! Gonna watch it this evening for sure. I have to buy some popcorn first 🤓
The myth. The absolute legend!
GG congratulations for pulling this off
this man is an absolute legend :D
28:41 love the chainguner there... non stop firing
OMG!! 🤤
Edit: Holy hell a single segment run! The man, the myth, the legend just keeps defying the impossible! 👊
Outstanding run, this is shaping up to be a year where many challenges fall.
Absolute madness. Well done, Zero Master!
Gotta love the midi pack for this wad, actually sounds really great
Legendary. The last titan falls. Well played!
congrats on living through the hitscan hell level, stronghold!
Return of the King
For some reason each time ZeroMaster upload these bangers I want to put them on the TV, pick the grill, make some barbecue and have a good time.
Hey, why not do this? I don't have a yard nor a grill, but I like to put some Zeromaster on the telly and make myself a nice dinner.
You are an absolute legend 🧡🍿
next week: "Hello you absolute legends..."
In the next few days: "Hello, you absolute legends..."

Amen
Epic strongholds!
Oh man, nightmare AND 100%? I am pretty sure this is the top echelon of speedruns...very entertaining.
Hats down to you, sir!
ZM is not of this world, it's that simple. Well played!
Ok u deserve my respect 👏

24:00 this level on nightmare is real hell.. If I were you I will survive few seconds not even 100% secret revealed damn how good you are
