I'm pretty sure the developers at ID could not have imagined that 30 years later people like you and Decino would be making proper top quality content on the game. As a teenager in 93 - I gotta thank you for making such videos and continuing the great work they started.
This is a strange level indeed, especially the Spectre pit. I also don't understand the cross shaped bridge area, specificaly why you have to first just try to cross it with the barrier down to open up the door that has the switch inside that raises the barrier. Why not just let the player open up the door manually or place the switch right next to the bridge, so you don't have to fall down, press the switch and then ride the elevator back up.
Ive only ever played Doom 64 on the original hardware since 1998. This level was HELL! On my first run, I spent TWO HOURS in that cursed pit, lost in the darkness, getting gnawed on by spectres, and convinced that I had entered an inescapable trap. The level of satisfaction I achieved when I finally discovered the hidden stairway has yet to be matched by any video game experience.
you've just been on a spree of some of my favorite doom maps lately. yet another one of my favorite classic doom maps and probably my favorite in doom 64. great. job as always.
Oh, heck yeah, our first Baron / Hell-Knight infights. You should have used the chain-gun on the spam caller. Great walkthrough on this map, thanks BMD!
Loved watching the infight between the Baron's and Knights!😀 From what I remember they infought as well in the PS1 DooMl, but I may be mis remembering, it's been a while. 😄 That's really interesting about the spawning in Knights and the mega sphere/armour secrets. There's so much to learn about this game. I wouldn't want to tackle this without your walkthroughs to guide me. Great job BMD and very well played as well. 🙂💛
@@BigMacDavis if you're implying a playthrough of PS1 DooM at some point, that would be amazing. It's my favorite version of DooM. Mainly because my family couldn't afford a PC until like 2001, so for the longest time I was stuck with the SNES port of DooM....when I finally got DooM for my PS1 it was incredible. I loved the few exclusive levels, new horror soundtrack, and the all new lighting effects that not even PC DooM had. If I recall correctly it even had DooM II monsters placed in DooM 1 levels. I could be remembering that wrong though.
That spam caller reminded me of that one Duke Nukem video where someone on Discord messaged you and a sentry drone exploded in your back while you were distracted.
That pit of Spectres in the big room full of elevator-ish platforms used to scare the bejesus out of me when I was younger lmao. Even on max brightness, with the low level of lighting on the N64 version, there was no way of reliably being able to see all of the Spectres down there, so if you fell down, you may as well have just restarted.
Lol a spam caller made it into this video. The hell knights and spectres don't count as kills (the ones you spawned in), that's interesting. We're not worthy of the megasphere, lol. Skinny stairs, but Doomguy can go up them anyway. The mega armor itself is a secret, if you're at 200% armor that's annoying, but luckily for you you could grab it. 100% of everything as always. Excellent job BMD.
Thanks, man. Although I do wanna correct one error I made in the video. Enemies not spawned in don't count as kills UNTIL they're spawned in. Then they count.
When I played Doom 64 on the 64. In the spector pit, I would back myself in the back with the chainsaw and listen. That's the easiest way I found to do it.
The N64 version was dark, but wasn't impossible. I remember turning my tv brightness up to do the pit area. It was a great game to play back in the day.
@bigmacdavis I've been waiting for this. I have a theory about the spectre pit. Remember those Prima Strategy guides that came out in the 90s? I do think it's plausible their company reached out to game developers and was like, "Hey could you throw this obscure level solution or obstacle in here that would force kids to have to buy our books in order to progress?" This was before the days of RUclips, and I remember this part of the game keeping me stuck for a very long time, because it was so dark and I got lucky when I hgged the wall once.
When i played this when i had my Nintendo console i had my brightness on almost full on my tv and done basically the same as you killed them all off with the chainsaw in a corner
Love your videos man I still do it the old fashioned way with the n64 and just a tip you don’t have to time the last two bridges. Hop on the L bridge and press the button and it should turn off just turn it back on and the bridge will drop back down. Saves a lot of time .
I played this on N64 when it was out, I was in high school... And it was very dark in the specter pit. I couldn't figure out how to get out initially...
Thank you. Some of the „puzzles“ give me headaches. Like, the first „not secret“ area half way up the elevator. Tried to get into it for 5 minutes and couldn’t figure it out, because I didn’t notice the door switches open when you approach the elevator. Things like that….
I enjoyed bumping into this one! Sorry I missed it but I'm watching it now. P.S. I have one of those "friends" that call outs of nowhere. I call him "Spam Likely". Never talk to him, of course!
For the spectre pit I used the map, specifically the filter (?) that just shows the lines representing the perimeter of things to better see how the hell was the pit and how to get out and also that way I could see all the spectres with the red triangles (I think it was red) and knew where they were
Hey BMD! That was a very interesting walkthrough. It reminded me of Quake. You're right! You do make these look easy. But hey, I'm game to try it myself anyway! Lol
Would recommend you to do a blind playthrough of these wads (see these in doomwiki for more info): Beyond reality - new and unique monsters. Doomguy's head is an enemy! Legacy of suffering - Doom 3 inspired wad with silent corridors and decent story. Btw GREAT run!
First time attempting this map on the N64. That dark pit was a nightmare. Not sure I would have found those stairs without this video. Finally beat the dang level and didn’t write down the password because I have a controller pak. Then I get this message: Controller pak removed! Cannot save game!
So BMD, now that you finished Valiant, what are your thoughts on the WAD? Also, do you have a favorite level out of the bunch? For me it's map 31, so iconic in both MIDI and gameplay.
Hi BMD, I downloaded the full screen status bar and put it in my gzdoom, but the option is still not showing up in my HUD settings. How do you enable that? For reference, I am referring to the top right-corner stuff that you have on for Valiant.
the second switch on the fast run bit never fires on the first hit, meaning i'm stuck at that part. fecking boring and yes i've tried a different binding
So last year i noticed The classic doom pea shooter (pistol)looked oddly familiar So i google searched what was the model for the doom pistol I was pleasently surprised to learn the doom pistols real life model was an actual mass produced firearm the doom pistol in real life is a beretta 92 FS The reason it looked familar is because i had just bought myself a beretta 92 fs
The only time I do use the Unmaker is on Pain in the ass Elementals, CyberDemons is much later on so I have an easy to take them out! Aside from that, the secret to get the SoulSphere is a pain sometimes. At least I did take the Mega Armor before grabbing MegaSphere. I'm weird that way. 😐In the dark area with the Spectre's around is never a good thing but thankfully Chainsaw is our best friend as well as using SSG since soooo many ammers are there. You know, for some odd reasons I never really use Chainsaw as much since a ton of ammers in this game is sooooo easy to pick up and therefore they almost never run out for you which is odd for me but eh........I guess you can say this game is indeed easy to beat. Lost Levels however at least gives us the challenge to strategize ourselves of what's coming up next. 🧐 Well, that was fun to see this video. Thank you for uploading this. 😊
The way is console players did the Spectre pit? By braille. 😂 That pit sucked so much as a kid! You had to use the muzzle flash to see where you were, all the while getting devoured by the Spectres. Basically wait for them to try and eat you, then shoot them as they're doing it. Was the worst part of the game as a whole to be honest. Love the content.
Yeah I played the original on N64 many times but this map was my most hated of the whole game, mainly because of the platforming and the absolute DARK Spectre Pit. I am still not a big fan of this map, but with the remaster it did got better in terms of brightness and such.
Hey Mac, not a Doom 64 comment but have you played Hexen? Silly question, I'm sure you have. Would love to see a walkthrough, one of my favorite games ever. I actually bought an N64 just to play Hexen a few years ago.
I don't know why but it has been reversed in my opinion like the Caco-Demons became the Potatoes and the Pain Elementals became the tomatoes (well in this game atleast). Weird
At 1:16, do Barons of Hell hit harder than the Hell Knights? From 2:20 - 2:35, I hate that type of interruption. This is a tricky level. Talk about fighting in the complete darkness from the original console. I just avoid the pit. The growling should let me know that there are monsters.
Can you please play the game Doom 2.5, this is Doom 3 but on the Doom 2 engine. The game of course is not finished and short, but made interesting enough. If you dare to play it and if there will be problems with the installation of the game, so I can help.
Probably because either the Hell Knight or Baron Of Hell (either or) destroyed a barrel next to the other guy, and the explosion injured that other guy, and when that happens, the other guy will infight the one who destroyed the barrel. Scripting oversight, basically.

Jo, přesně tohle mi taky nedává moc smysl. Trochu to působí, jako kdyby to navrhoval Patrik Kotas. :)
They want you to spend time looking for the additional switch. Doom 64 has some more of this "puzzle" moments.
I'll say it. when the Revenants finally show up this game will be a certified 💀classic.
There are no Revenants, Arch-Viles, or Spider Masterminds in Doom 64.
@@BigMacDavis it can be different when it comes to the mods.

No you’re correct they did infight on the PlayStation 1 version too. As well as the Sega Saturn version which is a port of the PS1 version.

He's banned. Lol. More on the way. :)
@@BigMacDavis HAHAHA ohh man thanks for the laugh buddy, love ya.
That’s funny you get a call on your walk through 😂

After awhile we finally have another Doom 64 video by good'ol BigMacDavis.
"Congratulations spam caller, you are on my video." 😆😅🤣😂
This was a level that game me a lot of trouble back in the day. So fun to see it getting completed like this!
Jeff, the spam caller was a Baron of Hell mad at you for making his brothers to infight
Lol, probably.
The return of Jefferson Davis's Voice @ 0:01
Thanks for helping me figure it out lmao I had to look at the ceiling and hug the wall until I found the hidden stairs up
15:20 this room is ingenious nightmare fuel
absolutely loving this walk-through so far great job and im really looking forward to watching your walk through of Arrival
The N64 version was dark, but wasn't impossible. I remember turning my tv brightness up to do the pit area. It was a great game to play back in the day.

so THAT'S how you get that supercharge. it was driving me crazy!
I've played the map a few times and the never realised about the first _non-secret_ area.
2:05 you should have left that baron of hell alive to infight the second hell knight.
Oh wow, good idea.
great run big mac, nice ringtone by the way :)
Awesome, BMD! And that spammer call was just great! Hopefully they’re a follower and will appreciate the shoutout! 😂🎉 Great video as always!
Haha, maybe so. That would be pretty sweet, lol.
Hey BMD another great video. Just wondering if your ever planning on going back to finish resurrection of evil and do the lost mission for doom 3? 😊
I absolutely plan on returning to those. This year in fact.
@@BigMacDavis great can’t wait 🎉😊
It's still a pretty interesting map, even despite the problems associated with this dark pit. Definitely an interesting map
Thank You BigMacDavis! I could not beat Doom 64 without you!
Yeah, that level was pretty much a nightmare, took me long enough to get through!
When i played this when i had my Nintendo console i had my brightness on almost full on my tv and done basically the same as you killed them all off with the chainsaw in a corner
*Welcome to Quake III Arena*
*In to the portal to begin combat !*
Good to see you come back to this.

Thanks for the tip! That's definitely a time-saver!
That pit must of been absolute hell in the N64 version luck it wasn't as bad when I played it on ps4.
There's quite a lot to enjoy about this map; the rather interesting architecture and puzzly aspects do stand out though :)
I'm really enjoying this series. Like I said before I knew about this game when it came out but I never bothered to play it.
This has always been the real doom 3 in my mind
"Doom guy got teenie tiny little legs". Doom guy never miss leg day BigMacDavis.
That's absolutely true, lol.
@@BigMacDavis if Doom guy miss one day of leg exercise, his legs would be like pencil size.

oh cool youre still doing walthrough i am in your half life one walkthrough i bought half life back in November on sale

I didn't have too much trouble with this map, but because I have to do "BMD" completion that mega sphere took me ages to find

Great run as always.
Ha! :))))
Yes in doom 64 on an actual console those stairs
Are impossible to see i had to look up someones playthrough to figure out how to get out of the pit
getting the phone call in middle of a doom gameplay reminded me of doomguy's mom calling him in the "going down" mod... you should play it BMD!
Such an awesome game. Definitely planned.
17:14 instant karma for mocking doomguy's ability to scale tiny stairs lol
My first time through this I got stuck on the Spectre pit. Had to look online to realize there were steps on the one side. Too dang dark.
Was the Megasphere yellow?
Are Doom64 Megaspheres lemon drops?
Are they lemon flavor jawbreakers?
Yes, yes, and most definitely yes. Lol.
@@BigMacDavis The sour taste of lemons goes well with the slaughter of demons
It’s a step up this map, I feel, from the previous levels.

the second switch on the fast run bit never fires on the first hit, meaning i'm stuck at that part. fecking boring and yes i've tried a different binding
I love the in fighting in this doom
BigMacDavis, I just heard the storms have hit Calafornia. How are you?
Doing good so far. Street was completely flooded for a day. Off and on raining. Surviving though. Thanks. :)
On the lower difficulty the last three enemies are hell knights fortunately.
Barons and hell Knights can infight because the have different colored fireballs
Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!!!!! Come C the Baron of Hell & Knight face off, who will triumph?
So last year i noticed
The classic doom pea shooter (pistol)looked oddly familiar
So i google searched what was the model for the doom pistol
I was pleasently surprised to learn the doom pistols real life model was an actual mass produced firearm the doom pistol in real life is a beretta 92 FS

The way is console players did the Spectre pit? By braille. 😂

You had to use the muzzle flash to see where you were, all the while getting devoured by the Spectres. Basically wait for them to try and eat you, then shoot them as they're doing it. Was the worst part of the game as a whole to be honest.

Lol, well, that answers my question.
i saw hell knight and baron of hell infighting on dos version where i played no joke
Probably because either the Hell Knight or Baron Of Hell (either or) destroyed a barrel next to the other guy, and the explosion injured that other guy, and when that happens, the other guy will infight the one who destroyed the barrel. Scripting oversight, basically.
May I ask why you play with filters off?
I don't care for the Doom 64 filters.
