Dusk Pacifist E1M4 Transcript

Alright this run has been kinda rough, I don’t have much health left but maybe I can salvage it. Just gotta get through… are you kidding me?

Hello and welcome to my Dusk Pacifist playthrough. This video is E1M4: Steamworks.

Hoo boy, Steamworks. This is where the pain begins. Not only is this area extremely cramped, it’s also where bad luck or bad timing can screw you sideways. Case in point… yeah that’s why I took both shotguns. Anyway, you need to jump on this bridge to aggro the Leathernecks, otherwise they’ll bodyblock you, hard. I was pretty lucky in this run, those Scarecrows shoot a random spread, and if it hits you, it hurts. Now this room is where your timing is truly tested. You need to wait just long enough that the cultist gets out of your way but not long enough that the other guys catch up with you. Now I do suggest pressing this switch even though I’m taking the secret route out. Opening those doors makes the enemies pathfind more favorably. Now let’s say hi to our good friend Dopefish before we get out of here. Check the description if you want to know about this dude. Yeah, see, that room would have had way more enemies if I hadn’t flicked that switch. Anyway, the rest of the level is basically free. I do take a dumb hit here because I got distracted by that fireball, but after that, it’s just a straight shot to the finish.
