Doom - E1M9: Military Base (Nightmare! 100% Secrets + Items) 

Useless fact: it's my first secret level in Doom which I found on my first playthrough in 1996 on my then-new DOS machine by complete accident wondering why the toxic pool room had a bridge and why the texture was slightly misaligned. I'm still proud of that accide... achievement.

I like how, in your Outtakes Compilation, your death tallies say Death #001, #002, #003, and #004, indicating possibilities of deaths ranging into the hundreds. Doom II: Map10: Refueling Base is gonna be fun to watch, fyi. Lol.

Gotta love when a death outtake starts with "My health is really good by the way"

Id like to believe that the tension felt in this video perfectly encapsulates the feeling the developers aimed for when making the music for this level

OMG, now this was unexpectedly intense! I can't wait to see the rest of the game! Great run!

I spent years without knowing this level even existed until I checked out one of those GameFAQs guides from back in the day. Good times.

you can really feel the desperation in his voice. decino is usually calm, so that's to show how intense this is, and honestly it looks really fun

I knew this map would have outtakes. The interconnected layout is probably a curse for nightmare, as enemies can follow you all around.

4:48- "Any Specters respawned? Nope." *_CHOMP_* "Yep! Yep yep yep. Yep."

>My health is really looking good Top 10 famous last words

I've done a pistol start UV Max run of this level for my channel (not posted yet) and I agree even on UV it has its challenging moments. The start is especially.

winter break just started for me so happy that decino uploads doom videos to watch all day

At least this was a stress free run. You could really walk around and enjoy the view.

Man there’s nothing quite like the level design of Episode 1. So solid. What do you all think? How does it compare to 2, 3 and 4?

I remember the excitement of finding the secret level for the first time ever. I was so proud of myself.

this is a good lookin WAD, the designers did a good job with it. hope they get recognition and find jobs in the industry.

Watching doom early morning gets me pumped.

I never knew how to get to this map legitimately back in the day. IDCLEV to the rescue!

Amazing run Decino. That part with the 12% life was gut wrenchingly good. I loved this level because it was hard and the teleport tramp was a genuinely scary situation on my sweet 8 years. I didn't have to look for the secret because my father used to play it and he showed me how to do it. Great times.

That shotgunner at 8:42 is straight up giddy with the idea of having killed ducino.

Nightmare difficulty speaks volumes about how well doom is designed. Think about it, they actively tried to make this unplayable, yet it's still completely playable. They couldn't even ruin the gameplay when they tried. Legendary.

That was awesome!😀 After watching this I'm so looking forward to you playing Refueling Base! 😁

How you survived from 1:55 to 2:10 is beyond me. Great run!

Thanks for making these videos! I always considered Nightmare a meme difficulty, but it seems like there's a lot of potential in it. Though I will probably stick to just Doom 1 and 2, I don't want to imagine Plutonia on Nightmare, let alone any of the harder PWADs.

Really enjoying this series. I've tried beating Doom 1 on Nightmare a few times but never got very far. It was a lot of fun though. Nightmare really adds a whole dimension of challenge to the game.

I can see why this map is indeed hard for Nightmare Mode. Dude that clutch you made here was awesome! 😄And the outakes is always entertaining to me! 🍿Fantastic job as always! 👍

The military base incident was almost called "Annoying pinky bow wowing and biting on the stairs incident."

Yeah this is the map I got stuck on for a quite a while whilst playing through on Nightmare! But half of that is my terrible sense of direction and memory meaning it took me a few attempts to solidify the map layout in my mind! This level really encapsulates how frantic Nightmare can be. Looking forward to seeing you play through episode 4. I've admitted temporary defeat after a heck of a lot of deaths on only the first map from that!

100% Items is really unexpected to a run. Never watched this on a NM + 100% Secrets (this the kind of run that I make/watch). Very interesting.

This is great! But I do like how some of the older runs have the mystery of whether or not our pumpkin will win. It's much more exciting not knowing that he's definitely going to win or lose (up until he skips ahead and you hear "attempt number 27").

0:45 Decino: oh why are you here? Shotgun Guy aka Jane: because I just respawned duh 🙄

Definitely a clench level, and in my opinion, the hardest secret level in original Doom, even without Nightmare. Though going for all items, I can imagine Fear as being competition for which is more challenging.

It's nice seeing Decino having fun with these. This was a treat to watch good sir!

That was a great, intense run on an extremely tough map. Even on the Hurt Me Plenty difficulty, this one is challenging. Doom 1, without the SSG is especially difficult.

That was absolutely brilliant! Congratulations. If you were not going to make even better videos in this series id vote it for the best Doom content I've seen on RU-vid. Great job.

Intense! Can't wait for E1M7

08:45 A sniper was waiting for his prey.

How on earth did you not get hit when you were on 12% health that was amazing I mean the run itself was amazing absolutely brilliant decino thanks for the upload

Doom: ‘’Are you still watching?’’ Decino: ‘’Man, I’m not even blinking!’’

Thanks for the content my dude

That was a really impressive run, nicely done man

Yes! so excited for this series, super thrilled to see a new episode every time!

Impressive run! That ending was such a feat in itself in Nightmare. Gonna continue watching this run as soon as your new video drops

What a top tier run, definitely in my top videos of yours!

Great idea to do this playthrough, so much fun to watch!

WOW! Nice one Decino! I never thought of jumping at the end. Gotta try it!

great job man, this was the most intense doom vid i ever saw, culd not old my chair enugh watching this

Well played! This map its really, really hard on Nightmare, i never got the chance to beat it. Also its nice to see that you are having a lot of fun with this challenge, keep it up!

Wow, what a chaos! Great gameplay!

That was hectic, good job tio decino

That was so intense haha awesome run

Wow I was on the edge of my chair. Lots of close calls. That was a good run!

You joke about how bad the chainsaw is in Nightmare, but Zero Master legitimately used one in one of his world record Nightmare runs.

Enjoying the epic uploads like always.

Loved how death #003 started with "My health is really good, BTW!"

Brilliantly done! That was so intense! 😂👍🏻

Yes, the one with my favorite music! Well, E1M9 and E3M9...

Wow that was so close! congrats for the great content

What an impeccable nightmare run! I commend you in loyalty decino!

It’s awesome seeing you return to these classic maps again with an added nightmare twist.

Woah what a run! Clenched my butt quite a few times at the end there 🤣

Damn dude, that was tense. Nice job!

keep this up man this is awsome shit i have played doom for atleast 25 years and dont come close to being as good at it as you bro👍

Awesomely nail-biting run!

So I was playing Final Fantasy while watching this, and when you went to 16 health I found myself going into the white magic menu to cast curaga without thinking about it lol. Love you not including attempt number at the beginning, makes it more surprising to see the outtakes at the end.

This guy is unbelievably good.

Was wondering why u were playing doom '93, again...but then u said that DOOM is 30 yrs. Old! Wow! Watching for the Nostalgia & the great content u put out. Keep up the Great Work! 💯🎆

Even though I knew you made it from the start, I still held my breath for you! Clutch run

Amazing run! ^^

Holy heck! That was a nail biter! Congrats!

Damn. Just in time! Keep it up man!

You got the run, it was a very cool run.

Well done Decino, insane level

yet another spectacular pumpkin man video. can't wait for more hitscanner hell!

Great run! Thanks

That was tense! Looking forward to the rest of Episode 1. 🙂

What a run, on the edge of my seat the entire time

I'm not used to hearing panic in the normally so calm and soothing decino's voice.

"My health is very good by the way" Heh, nice jinx :D

This is a good showcase of how pinkies and spectres are easily A tier enemies on Nightmare! difficulty.

Ah the secret level. well I'll tell my friend when I found the secret as a kid after multiple times missing over and over and over I was pretty excited and fascinated by it it was more like a box of military base with some thingymajic it's hard to describe it but it's quite cool and I love the music by the way it makes me really pump out and become one of my favorite levels Believe It or Not in the first episode of Doom.

Outtake 3: decino: "My health is REALLY good by the way" DOOM: "And I took that personally..."

Love how dramatic your commentary is on nightmare. THE SHOTGUNNER!!! NOOOOO!! 🤣

Now that is what I can call a good Doom entertainment! Respect!

“I have really good good health here” DOOM: so you have chosen death

Was having a shit day and saw you posted a video. Definitely made my day a lot better!! Thank you Decino Edit: You put your death tally up on the end level screen with the other stats

This popped up when I was opening my ice cream, not complaining 😁. I'm finding a newfound love for Nightmare!, especially as spectator. You can sense stress as you go, simply because of one, the randomness and two, there is a time strain once demons have died. Not gonna lie, that increases the entertainment.

This level has, hands down, the BEST midi of all the original Doom maps!

Damn Decino. Chaotic map. Along with my favorite Doom 1 track. INTENSE!!

2:31 ducino stop swering!!!!!

This is so fun to watch! Nightmare is The stuff!

No. 3 was so painful... "my health is so good" and then that one misstep...

That was fun to watch👌🤘🍻

Great job!!

nice run

Very nice! I loved how you expected this attempt to be a failure and emerged victorious in the end! As I never played Nightmare difficulty; and I don't think I ever will; it's interesting to see, what tactics you can make. I have no idea if someone else did full playthrough like this in Doom, but I'm sure you can do it, from what I've seen, you are a very skilled Doom player. I'm especially interested in E4 maps as I personally really dislike E4, mainly E4M1, E4M2 and E4M6. But that's far away. I'm quite wondering what maps will cause you most deaths.

did not even know this level existed. Neat!

Less calm than normal but that was a lot of fun to watch! Thanks.

Formidable! Absolutely wp, Decino!

One of my favorite midis. I was wondering how you would do here as the "hub" like design can be really nasty. 5 attempts is quite good!
