A Legendary Challenge Finally Defeated

For over a decade, the Doom community has been haunted by a nightmarish map crafted by a mysterious member named Okuplok. Dubbed the "Okuplok slaughter map," this brutal level is notorious for cramming a staggering 23,211 enemies into claustrophobic corridors, making it a rite of passage for hardcore Doom fans.

Coincident’s Triumph

This past weekend, streamer Coincident achieved what many believed to be impossible: defeating the unforgiving slaughter map in a single, relentless run that lasted just over six hours. His victory marks a historic moment in gaming, as he became the first player to clear the map's Ultra Violence difficulty without restarting.

The Path to Glory

It’s worth noting that Coincident isn’t a novice; he had previously completed the map on an easier setting back in 2023. However, that version only required half the damage taken and double the ammo. He estimated that an Ultra Violence run would be 'eight times more difficult,' due to the punishing nature of the gameplay.

Tool-assisted speedruns had hinted that it was feasible to complete the map in under two hours, but no human player had successfully managed to do so in a single run—until Coincident came along. After countless attempts, including a two-segment achievement that took 56 tries, the groundwork was set for his monumental victory.

Mastering the Slaughter

As he prepared for this epic showdown, Coincident released a series of strategy videos outlining his meticulous tactics. He shared insights into how he navigated the level, emphasizing the importance of movement, dodging, and resource management to survive the relentless onslaught.

In his videos, he openly acknowledged the map’s daunting challenges, describing some encounters as a 'pure RNG grind.' He warned that dying after hours of careful maneuvering could shatter anyone's spirit.

An Epic Conclusion

During his marathon livestream, viewers were treated to both exhilarating skirmishes and long stretches of carefully calculated circling. Coincident's persistence culminated in a breathtaking finale, showcasing the sheer intensity of his survival as he dodged hordes of enemies, sacrificing safety for ammo conservation.

As the conclusion approached, tension peaked. With heart-pounding precision, he launched a final rocket just before reaching the exit. The relief and triumph in his voice were palpable: 'Yes! Fuck yes! Okuplok is done! ... Oh my god, what a ride, this was quite the ride... It's done, I don't have to run this again! It's over!'

A Victory for All

Coincident’s achievement is more than just a personal victory; it’s a testament to the dedication and skill within the gaming community. For many, the Okuplok slaughter map had been an insurmountable challenge, but now, thanks to determination and years of grinding, it's been conquered. Who knows what other legendary challenges await in the world of retro gaming?
