No-Damage Run: Difference between revisions

Many tool-assisted [[Speed Run]]s are also No Damage Runs, since the player can control the character precisely and manipulate random events in his favor. You'd think it would be "most", but taking damage or even dying actually saves time in many games, thanks to [[Mercy Invincibility]] and the often-resulting knockback from taking damage which usually ends up being the fastest way to move or respawn points strewn across long travel distances, so they can be used for [[Sequence Breaking]].

 

 

Still another variant, especially used among the ''[[Doom (series)|Doom]]'' community, is the "Maximum Minimum Health" run, where the player attempts the level on [[Idiosyncratic Difficulty Levels|"Ultra-Violence" or "Nightmare" mode]]. Their score is the lowest health they had at any point in the level, or, if they didn't take any damage, their final health at the end of the level.
