[victoriouswinner]

playing tricks and traps for the first time is an experience i'll never forget, it was wild

[TarosTheVoid]

Tricks and Traps is definitely one of my favorite maps to play in Doom 2

A definitely iconic map

[AlexeiVoronin]

The main message of this level is "The kiddie gloves are off now" - you encounter your first Cyberdemon and, more importantly, Pain Elementals here. Because nothing can make the game funnier like some extra Lost Souls ;)

But you'll also get your first (legit) BFG 9K, an entire stash of backpacks (always wondered about this), and some invulns. So it's not that bad. Just don't fall for any tricks. Or traps.

[Geniraul]

When I was a kid I used to somewhat hate this map for its difficulty. Then I grew up and understood its concept. I love it since.

[tylerjennings]

I love these Nightmare playthroughs because we kind of get to see Decino attempting to 100% speedrun these maps. You’re pretty much forced to speedrun the maps because of the constantly respawning enemies. That’s certainly evident at the end of this map. That demon party in the center was wild haha.

[sirbill_greebi]

I love how the central room becomes a mosh pit by the end. This map is probably *almost* impossible without at least 1 invincibility on nightmare.

[Nobejn]

Beautifully done. This map still gets me on UV. The double ammo and getting to ignore a lot of monsters is honestly refreshing.

[LordGrandKaiser]

The more I watch through your Nightmare run the more it feels like this is how Doom is "supposed" to feel. You versus the literal endless hordes of Hell; it's a suicide mission, but you being enough of a badass to pull through is the only hope Earth's got.

I quite like it.

[Sphendrana]

Love this map so much. Never knew that's how you open that wall in the teleporter room!

[DinnerForkTongue]

This level is more chaotic than tough. Loved the mosh pit that the central room became.

[odstagent]

0:25 Man, that shotgunner only had ONE job haha

For fun, I made a strategy to complete this map on NM + pacifist + no damage

1- Get into the Cyberdemon room and wait a bit for him to disappear, grab invul and squeeze through to get yellow key

2- Yellow key room, get the red key and squeeze through to re-grab invul before it runs out

3- Go to the exit room and make sure to step aside to avoid being blocked by the Pinky

4 - Profit

I remember playing this level for the first time. It was so awesome. Really hard too.

[RevolverRez]

That turned into an absolute mess by the end, with the insane number of turbocharged pinkies sprinting free everywhere. In other words, it's very entertaining! I've never seen the Cyber die so quickly, either.

[lukebehrendsbro.]

A fun map to play indeed. Nightmare Mode here is interesting if you know what to do under this situation. So yeah I like this map alot. Well done. 👍

[ZenSolipsist]

I genuinely enjoy watching you do this. Nightmare is damn hard and you make it look easy. Great work 🍿your presentation is excellent 🧡

[NellWatson]

Masterful run, practically untouchable, wow!

[Nuclearstomp]

This seems to be the favorite map of a lot of people in Doom 2. I can say it's for good reason for sure.

[Thunderwalker]

Watching Decino play Doom is showing me all the secret areas I missed when I played them growing up.

[ergosphere]

The nightmare playthrough have been so entrancing. I've never been terribly good at UV, and NM always scared me too much to even attempt lol.

[brandonschwertley]

That got crazy fast, definitely need a plan to tackle this map on nightmare
