Let's Play: Doom 2 (Map29) - The Living End

A playthrough of "The Living End" (Map29) of Doom II: Hell on Earth for PC, played through GLBoom. 100% kills, 0% secrets (Max-Kill). This map has 0 secrets.

Here we are. The final non-boss map of Doom II. It definitely does not disappoint. A vast open cavern that isn't total crap in design like Map24 The Chasm. It is extremely straight forward though. No real flexibility in the design of it at all on making your way through, but it looks good. I should say that the only real flexibility in the map is at the beginning and towards the end, where you can approach them from a slightly different way or order, but outside of that everything is highly linear. It's also very high up. The Cyberdemon at the end can prove to be a bit of a hassle if you aren't good at dodging rockets, since he's in a smaller area than most of the other Cyberdemons in Doom II. At least it's fitting that he guards the exit to the last full-length map in the game. Great, solid map.

Actually, to comment on your remarks about the Cyberdemon (male) vs the Spider Mastermind (female): In the Map "Gotcha", there is a part in which you face both said monsters in the same room. I found whether you goad him into her line of fire or goad her into his line of fire, the Cyberdemon will finish off the Mastermind with ease. However, by the time he finishes her off, he should die much quicker once he turns back to open fire on you.

@MasterDrew117 Yeah, I think the Cyber wins in the playthrough I have up... but sometimes the Mastermind wins. It's all dependent on the RNG, and how often the Cyber fires and how often he flinches.

why it's not that many archviles?

they could at least add 5 or 8 of them

[AltimaMantoid]

@cameron20101000 They could, but this was Doom 2, I don't think they wanted to make it *too* hard back then.

666th view. Huh. Wonder what that means?

[AltimaMantoid]

@WVUer21 Not sure. I'd imagine a free vacation to hell that isn't permanent o_o 666th view on a Doom video. That HAS to be saying something.
