How to unlock the I'm the Man! achievement in DOOM (1993) - Definitive Guide

Here is my full playthrough of the game in under 38 minutes, you have a lot of time to make mistakes and play safer strategies than I do. An interesting thing to take note of is that I pop my achievement after completing E3M3 which suggests that the game saved all of my previous times (they were very slow) and totals them up. Once you have hit 2 hours overall your achievement will unlock. Now this means you could just boot up an episode which was very slow and just speed run that to get better times rather than speed running the entire game again.

Thumbs up and thanks for the video as always. I used nothing but your videos when I played doom 2 xone and arcade. Cant wait for doom 64, hope to see solutions and videos on that one from you too.

I was going to skip the 2 hour achievements cuz I suck at speedrunning but these videos make it so easy. How the other solution is in the top spot over yours, I'll never understand. Double so as it's your person run video rather than just linking other people's...

> Now this means you could just boot up an episode which was very slow

Is there somewhere which lists the time you took on each level to speed run just that one?

I’m having trouble getting this achievement to unlock. I completed the game 4 times and know my total time is under 2 hours. Does anyone else have this problem?

I started my fast run attempt with redoing episode 3 because I had taken the longest with those levels. Sure enough the achievement popped when I finished mission 5 under the par time.

Can this be done via level select? Or do I have to do the episode in "campaign" mode

The good news is that this can be done on I'm Too Young To Die difficulty and only counts the time from the first 3 episodes.

Here are some speedrun guides. These were not made by me. The first is Episode 1 done in 8 minutes by a YouTube account called Dinglemaniac:


Episode 2 by Lammah on YouTube. This guy does it on Nightmare in under 6 minutes! So you will find it even easier:


Episode 3 by Zero Master in under 4 minutes:


Needless to say you have a lot of room for error. The best advice is to have one save right at the start of a level and another for during the level when you think you're doing well. I did every level under par time and got the achievement so if you're on the same track you'll be fine.

Evil Kenivl has noted that using a secret exit to a hidden level might prevent you from getting this first time. Just use the normal edits when going for the achievement just in case.

Does pausing the game stop the clock?

Just tested this - yeah it does. The game only tallies your level completed times while playing.

On the website desktop view, somebody won the achievement 3 days ago. You might need to delete the game and any saves and try again. 😔

I wonder if they've patched it with the change to the version? I did episode 2 over 2 sittings at the time.

I did not do it in one sitting. I did it over multiple days. And I used level select for other Achievements in between the speedrun. And it unlocked for me after E3M5.
(I had done a normal run of E1 - E3)

A few levels from the video’s are a little strange.
The creator uses advanced speedrun techniques to obtain certain cards.
That were difficult for me to reproduce.
So in the end I had to use other YouTube video’s to fill in the little gaps.

Definitely doesn't have to be done in one sitting. It simply takes your best times from each level.

Honestly the episode 3 guide is useless as it relies on so many tricks and quirks that are really hard to pull off. I found myself getting stuck, having to look up "how do you get the ... key on ...whatever level..." separately and ended up not really following it.

Hi, it was meant as a rough guide. You can clear all levels below par time and be fine.

By Evil Kenivl on 28 Jun 2020 14:58
Absolutely positive. I only completed the first 3 for it to pop. It does save individual times for each level, so one may have glitched on you. If you start again, you should only need to get to the level that it thinks you didn't finish and complete it.

I’m looking all over the internet to see how this guy got a platform to raise out of the acid in chapter 2 and there’s nothing that helps either it was romoved from the game or somehow my man is cheating it’s non existent there’s no button to press or some secret thing on the floor you walk over it’s nothing nothings there! Achievements that are hard get on my nerves (IM TALKING TO YOU EA) but when something like this is not explained in a guide it’s dumb none of the 50 videos I’ve looked at on YouTube had no explanation for it nor did I see comments of people asking how he did it if anyone knows how he did it I’d like it explained not only would it help me but it will help others who try to accomplish this as he did and save the the two hour google search that ended up being useless as i have I appreciate it! 😤

I'm the nicest way possible buddy, if nobody else has mentioned this issue and you're the only person that is complaining about it, the guide isn't at fault.

@asmodeus

These might help you, they helped me a lot for my various playthroughs

I assure you, that platform does exist in every version I've played

For anyone wondering as @asmodeus on episode 2 you need to press the wall to the left facing the exit door. You'll probably have to angle/align your camera view to the upper control panel. It is above that wall where you would have to legitimately go into the room to press the switch to have the bridge rise but you can glitch click through the wall as shown in the video.

In E1M6 the path taken is suboptimal, this speedrun takes an easier path:

Wait, why do they all play with god mod in these runs? They keep flying off the map to get the keys.. I can’t do that, so I finish the level in 32 min instead of 2

Once the grand total is under 2 hours. The game records your best times for each level and adds those together.

Edit: you have to do it in one sitting. I beat ep 1 last night, and did ep 2 and 3 today. Didnt pop. After I finihsed 3 I went back and beat 1 again about 5 minutes and it popped the second I killed the baron.

pretty sure I finished all 3 episodes in less than 2 hours. more like 90 minutes. But I did the 3rd with the speed run video and finished in about 7 minutes total. So I know my time is WAY under 1 hour total for all 3. Still not popping. Please tell me you don't have to logged into the horrid battle net or what ever I opted out of at the start of the game.

It's not God Mode, it's clever glitching through the walls. As I say in the guide, if you're below par time for each level, you'll be fine.

You do not need to beat episode 4 Thy Flesh Consumed or any of the secret levels for this achievement just episodes 1, 2 and 3.

This trophy is earned when your collective course times reach under 2 hours and doesn't have to be earned in one go (this popped for me after replaying the first episode and part of the second). You only need to beat the first three episodes as well. Try to shoot for below par or right on time and if you're having trouble, save right before starting a course so you can play it a couple times, learn the layout and finish around par. It should pop when your total time across the three episodes is less than 2 hours.

EDIT: Thanks to Vee-Em-You for clarifying that it is indeed only the first three episodes that count towards the trophy.

You are correct, 4th episode is not counted by this trophy as it is The Ultimate Doom.
