What an ending. Couldn't get any closer than that. Can't believe we could push this run so far. 100% a community effort. Shoutout to DrakePHOSE, my partner in crime, plus the rest of the DOOM Eternal Speedrunning community. For anyone confused about what restricted means: To put it simply, restricted is pretty much what you would expect when you think of Doom. We push the game as fast as possible without any major exploits. It is the old NMG category that ZeroMaster/FrostyXen/Draqu and all the others have run except a rule was added in that forbids despawning tracked combat encounters. By no longer allowing despawns in tracked fights, this category is effectively 2-3 minutes slower than in the past; however, the category is now more in line with what the viewer and runners expect. Concisely, restricted is a ruleset that disallows despawning of tracked combat encounters and the usage of major glitches such as slope-boosting, zipping, going out of bounds, etc. Notably, "yeet-hooking" and dash boosts ARE permitted within the ruleset. Unrestricted is pretty much anything goes, which includes slope-boosting (basically super jumps that existed in the 1.0 version of the game). I will not be running this category anytime soon, although my old runs were placed here when the no despawn rule came into existence. Take care all, Xiae
Thank you and like you said thank you to the the DOOM Eternal Speedrunning community, if you'll excuse me going to enjoy the next 1 hours and 59 minutes and 50 seconds.
Imagine being the Khan Makyr having this extensive plan to save your people, and two hours after the invasion starts kicking everything has fallen apart
I’m guessing if you speedrun enough on his level a death means you aren’t getting a good time so ultra nightmare is perfect for restarts also he’s just good
When you play ultra nightmare a lot you get used to demons hitting you down to like 20 health once you play enough UN you eventually stop cracking under pressure, you have to learn how to not crack under pressure because you don't want to be stressing out at final sin in your UN run.
@@thomasmurrell9832 i remember in his last vid he predicted un speedruns would get even more competitive. i wonder what happened since then? it seems like right after that vid the big players (draqu and zero) kinda just stopped pushing for lower times. like ik frosty and xiae (&others) are still running but it kinda feels like the hype has died down since then, which is a shame cuz it was great seeing ppl in such close competition for better runs
October 12, 2019 A man ran a marathon in under the 2 hour mark, 1:59:40.2 December 22, 2020 A man tore through Doom Eternal 100% UN in 1:59:50 My hats off to you sir.
The sheer fucking optimization of this run is insane. I have no idea how you've memorized and mastered every little nuance, but it's seriously a joy to watch you play and it's taught me a lot about this games mechanics. Congrats man, your level of skill is far beyond human
After hundreds of attempts you did something what were considered impossible... Legendary event for all of the community indeed. Congratulations and huge respects Xiae!
This is the single most thought out run ive ever seen. this has to be the pinacle of doom eternal speedrunning. i refuse to believe that there are any more improvements to be made! insane... HOLY CRAP THE ENDING WAS INTENSE I CANT BELIEVE IT :D
it is a testament to doom eternal as a technical achievement that you moving this fast and blowing through the games cut scenes and whipping around maps like a crack head didnt break the game at any point in this sub 2 hour play through.
NO WAY! This is insane! I remember a couple of months ago when people like Frosty said that anything below 2:10 would be impossible, and here you are. This is one of the best speedrunning moments ever man. Btw, are you gonna start working on TAG1 now?
@@xiae I think it's similar to the 4 minute mile: now that people know sub-2 is possible, I'm sure it'll be standard. Then who knows what the future holds :-)
What me amazes me most about a run like this is the pressence of mind, focus and calmness of the speedrunner. I can't comprehend how you perfom at this level of mechanics with all the rising pressure the further you progress into the run. You are truly awesome. Congrats!
Thank you for this you legend. Edit: Zeromaster is a legend in his own right and I'm not trying to rustle any waters, honest, but you absolutely pwn at Doom Eternal and deserve some recognition.
You have no idea how happy it makes me feel to see you use that dash boost at 16:05 :D I wanted to make a snarky remark about how you missed a bunny hop or heard a streamer say that weapon swapping wasn't optimal, but this is just too good. Congrats, what an achievement.
mind blowing, you perform better than i think an AI could have done... couldnt imagine how many hours you have practised... I just finished my first normal run and here you are like a master ninja just taking a stroll in ultra nightmare killing everything so swiftly in your path... jaw dropped... really awesome!
Awesome! Even if you won't be doing these runs anymore, I hope that you'll live to see others continue your work and push the envelope even further. Congratulations!
Wow! What a beautiful run. This game is the gift that keeps on giving. It's rescued 2020 for so many of us, a little bit of fun through all the crap we've had to endure, its a pleasure to watch it get slayed in style! Well done!
Imagine just being a normal human during this, full scale hell invasion and within 2 hours of the Doom Slayer showing up the problem is thoroughly brutalised
Fucking GGs, dude. That bhopping and edgebugging would put tears of pride into the eyes of Quake veterans and TF2 Jump/Surf map freaks. Your yeethooks had my jaw dropping. 'grats.
You know what's the best part about watching speed runs? You know the video isn't going to take too long. Because that's the point. It's not supposed to. xD
Holy shit guys, the way he switched out the saving throw ruine just before the Icon of Sin second phase, and then having it actually activate from a deathblow at like 1:59 just before completing the run, insanely clutch..... man that was fucking incredible
Memorizing the maps is impressive, but more impressive to me, is memorizing every single spawn point. They're so memorized that he is able to launch a grenade BEFORE they spawn, but by the time it gets there, they're spawning and get stuck with it..truly awesome!
God. This is why I love doom as a whole. Easy to pick up and play, but with an unimaginably high skill ceiling that you can at least get halfway there just by playing the game frequently on the harder difficulties
What an ending. Couldn't get any closer than that. Can't believe we could push this run so far. 100% a community effort. Shoutout to DrakePHOSE, my partner in crime, plus the rest of the DOOM Eternal Speedrunning community.

Sub 1:59 when?
In actuality though, anything else youre looking to do now? Gonna keep grinding out more hundo or do something new?
Thank you and like you said thank you to the the DOOM Eternal Speedrunning community, if you'll excuse me going to enjoy the next 1 hours and 59 minutes and 50 seconds.
Hey man, how are you so good at Bhops?
You crashed like 3 times, costing you about 2 minutes, yet you still not only beat the old record, you got under 2 hours, you are a god.
are you gonna keep running anything from DE anymore? amazing fucking work my guy

that saves a whopping 7 seconds over the normal route :)

I love that such a meaty game is being reduced down to a time that isn’t even that of a feature length film by some standards, it’s absurd.
He started gate 2 with 5hp. Prawnhob wouldn't let this on their site, how is this allowed.
I just love how the fully charged destroyer blade melts a room instantly!
At least one thing is consistent, everyone punches the interactables in this game. Lmao.
3 CRASHES ANS STILL SUB 2 HOURS?!
Karl jobst better make a vid on this
I'm surprised there weren't more crashes -- this game was made by Bethesda, who don't make the most stable of video games.
@@benjaminpattison1907 published my dude. Id made it

And the run is still not perfect (game crashes, getting stuck on unnessesary things)
This guy will definately break his own record again

Gonna have a great time watching this. Congrats Xiae!
:))
Me: wants to go to bed
Also me: watches the greatest gameplay of all time for 2 hours
Same
My head hurts but I can’t stop.
"yeah im good at Doom, beat all the games on nightmare"
Watches this dude
"I'm not good at doom"
And what is Doom if not Doom persevering?

It's funny how DOOM Eternal can be finish faster than DOOM 2016,this man is a GOD!
The absolute discipline and willpower to grind for this record is insane. Great job on the run, you are one mighty slayer!
I can't believe I missed this stream. Incredible job man!
Thank you for this you legend. Edit: Zeromaster is a legend in his own right and I'm not trying to rustle any waters, honest, but you absolutely pwn at Doom Eternal and deserve some recognition.
This is more like "WHAT THE HELL ON EARTH?!?!"
GG Xiae
I feel like I don't really appreciate all of the technical skills this required, despite being absolutely blown away by it.
This player is an artist! This run is literally art in motion. Congrats.
Karl Jobst literally said ultra-nightmare speedrun combat is poetry in motion
Especially Content I love Karl’s videos. So engaging and eloquent.
I was following all your 100% runs. I knew you could do it, bravo!
Poetry in motion. Being a dev of this game and watching this must be so satisfying.
Man you could watch this video in 0.25x speed and he's still faster than those game journalist who gave this game a bad score.
Congratulations, my man! Even if in the future, other runners may beat your record, yours is truly legendary in its own right. Keep up the good work!

Honestly speedrunners are a different breed of gamers. Definitely underrated. Everybody gotta put some respect on these peoples names.
Under 2 hours under 2 hours under 2 hours!! Let’s go great job man!!
That's the amount of time it too me to beat Hell on Earth on Ultra Nightmare my first time LMAO, amazing job, you've made Doom history

very insightful and fun run to watch, awesome runner. Grats on 1st, always awesome to watch a great speedrunner to learn from aswell.
