Doom II Map 22 The Catacombs glide

[Ankha]

Well, since I couldn't find a detailed explanation about how to perform the glide properly 100% of the time, here we are!

 

First, see my other post https://www.doomworld.com/forum/post/2611019 about the settings.

 

Now, position yourself in the middle gap, and aim for the far corner on the right, the closest angle to the passageway right wall near you. That's angle 243 for those who want to practice (see picture)

 

Now that you're comfy and well stuck between the bars, simply press forward. Multiple things can happen now:

 

• your weapon is trembling a lot => try again
• your weapon is trembling a little but regularily and smoothly => try again
• your weapon is trembling jaggily and jumps from time to time => you're good, just keep moving for a little more than 2 seconds
• you're so lucky you get right through => perfect

 

To try again, just quickly hit the strafe left button then forward to position yourself again.

 

I hope this will help (it will certainly help me since I forget from times to times the technique).
