Beating Doom Eternal<\/a> <\/em>on a standard difficulty is impressive enough, but doing so on the masochistic Ultra-Nightmare setting is incredible. According to IGN it\u2019s something even the developers haven\u2019t managed to achieve<\/a> and they built the thing.<\/p>\n

Thanks to some speedrunners and long-time Doom <\/em>professionals like DraQu who have managed to pull it off there are some techniques the average gamer can learn from them to do it themselves. It\u2019s still brutal and requires incredible skill, but these tips will make it a bit more bearable.<\/p>\n

Updated December 10th, 2020 by Hodey Johns:<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0After getting feedback from players who have accomplished this feat, this list has been revised to more accurately\u00a0state the tips that were the most important for those who have completed this tall order.\u00a0While it’s certainly still one of the single most brutal tasks in video game history, practice, dedication, and a few timely tips should help readers finally check this box off of their to-do list.<\/em><\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Practice On Nightmare And Extra Life Nightmare<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

First thing\u2019s first, learn how to beat the game on Nightmare without the permadeath system. This will pleasantly teach the ropes of how difficult each encounter is and what tactics are required to beat each scenario. Once comfortable on Nightmare, ramp up the difficulty a bit with Extra Life.<\/p>\n

Among the many things that don’t make sense about the Doom<\/em> franchise<\/a> is a permadeath system but with the ability to manually use more lives. Still, the setting makes for great practice. After beating the game in this stage without losing too many lives then\u00a0it’s time to take the plunge into Ultra.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Memorize Spawn Locations<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Plenty of FPS games can boast that they are harder than Doom Eternal<\/em><\/a>, but Ultra-Nightmare\u00a0makes this difficulty a totally different animal. As such, it takes not only skills in combat but skills with the mind in order to win.<\/p>\n

Watch any stream of someone who is attempting this and notice how they are aiming at the spawn points before the monster\u00a0appears there with the correct weapon in hand. Those who don’t are constantly having to deal with getting overwhelmed and that’s not an encounter one is likely to survive after risking it several times.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Rotate The Chainsaw<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Yes,\u00a0the entire concept of\u00a0using a chainsaw that slowly fills up on gasoline which restores ammunition\u00a0is one of many things that make no sense about the game<\/a>. Logical or not, though, players who want to beat Ultra-Nightmare must master this rhythm and dance to be successful.<\/p>\n

The common mistake is to use all of a single type of ammunition and then use the chainsaw, but the problem is that it only restores about half of the Slayer’s ammo. So toward the end of a long find, the ammo will be running dry. The trick is to use about half of every kind of ammo and then use the chainsaw to stay topped off.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Ice Bombs Are A Blessing<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Typically speaking,\u00a0players will either be dealing with a horde of enemies or one big bad guy that has devastating attacks that can cut the run short. Ice Bombs are a great tool for crowd control or to buy some time during a difficult fight.<\/p>\n

When combined with upgrades like Permafrost or Frost Bite,\u00a0players can freeze a group of demons for a decent length of time making them sitting ducks.\u00a0The Ice Bomb can also be lobbed at a large enemy and temporarily stop their brutal attack,\u00a0buying\u00a0time to get to cover. As soon as\u00a0players get one of these, make sure to upgrade\u00a0its powers as quickly as possible for maximum effect.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Flamethrower Armor Spawning<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

It\u2019s helpful to keep\u00a0armor topped off as it\u2019ll do wonders to protect the\u00a0health bar for the shots that can’t be dodged. One good way to do this is with the Flamethrower.<\/p>\n

By setting an enemy on fire just before they\u2019re killed they spit out a few shards of armor. Again, on Nightmare, this won\u2019t be much, but getting in the habit of doing this on the weaker or last enemies will net players a few points of armor that can add up to save\u00a0the Slayer’s bacon.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Stay Airborne<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

One hallmark of the best arena shooter games of all time<\/a> is that they allow for aerial fighting. In the case of Doom Eternal<\/em>, it encourages and incentivizes shooting from in the air. And in Ultra-Nightmare, it’s practically a requirement.<\/p>\n

Going in the air yields several unique advantages. Half of the enemies are rendered useless, it enables a bird’s eye view for shooting enemies, and allows for a third dimension to dodge projectiles. Many Ultra-Nightmare enthusiasts have learned to practically juggle themselves in the air for entire encounters at a time.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Collect The Secrets<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Knowing where the secret locations are and how to unlock secrets is incredibly helpful when doing an Ultra-Nightmare run. Getting those Praetor Upgrade points and tracking down Modbots is key to survival.<\/p>\n

Obviously, this doesn\u2019t include the collectibles which should not be\u00a0a priority on this run. It\u2019s also strongly recommended\u00a0that players don\u2019t bother with the Unmaykr weapon as the risk of completing the arena battles is just too high to make it worth it.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Know About Saving Throw<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

While any rune would be useful in this playthrough some are more valuable than others. Saving Throw rune can be tricky to obtain, but is incredibly powerful as it allows\u00a0the seemingly-invincible Slayer<\/a> to cheat death once in a playthrough.<\/p>\n

This is huge and can really pay off in the harder sections of the game. It only works once, but\u00a0gamers will be\u00a0relieved to have it equipped when\u00a0a nasty Marauder encounter doesn\u2019t go\u00a0their way.\u00a0Just remember that\u00a0the Slayer will only have five health after its use and to replace it after its charge has died; in only recharges on death, which can’t happen on this difficulty.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Use\u00a0Survival\u00a0Runes<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Of course, the opinions\u00a0about this will be all over the map, but as the mysterious VEGA<\/a> helps the Slayer unlock runes, it’s important to use only the very best and most useful runes to survive on Ultra-Nightmare. So players will have to forfeit “cool” runes for ones that statistically increase odds of survival.<\/p>\n

Some\u00a0favorite runes among those who beat the game on this setting are the Air Control (ability to change direction in midair), Equipment Fiend (decreases recharge time of equipment when enemies are damaged by equipment or injured when under the effects of an equipment ability), and Chrono Strike (gain\u00a0an ability to slow down time in midair).<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Use Every Tool<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The final takeaway is that players\u00a0should be utilizing every tool at\u00a0their disposal when doing an Ultra-Nightmare run. Even the pros struggle remembering this when they get into a rhythm but using every\u00a0accessible tool\u00a0will make this run easier. And don’t forget about the Crucible given to the Slayer by the enigmatic Samuel Hayden<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Use every gun, grenade, and rune that\u00a0can be reasonably attained. Each has a purpose in this game and even the weakest weapons can\u00a0be saviors\u00a0when running out of ammo or options. Become familiar with each of these items, use them, and\u00a0stay alive!<\/p>\n
