    Extra life mode is a separate game mode where it plays more like the original doom. Once all you lives run out, that's it game over. You can choose a difficulty so I would recommend play this on I'm too young to die. I would also recommend you play this on your second play through as if you collect everything during this play through, you will have to collect everything again if you are going for (master of fasting) achievement as you can not replay missions in extra life mode.

    Note: you can beat the game with more then 10 extra lives. I finish that game with 47 and the achievement pop once the credits rolled.

    three daugJust got this on ITYTD with can't perfect perfection, ended with 39 lives. didn't even do my weapons all the way up. The only thing I lost lives to was marauders and the final boss fight. The only real set back was failling to escape the super gore nest when i got turned around which is actually GAME OVER :/ Pretty easy all in all

    Parkman RulesI destroyed the heart in the super gore nest and when I was escaping from the autodestruct I got lost and died losing all my 23 lives at once when I ran out of time. WTF?

    WulfTekHonestly this isn't too bad if you do a 100% run first. I remembered where 95% of the extra lives I found on my first playthrough were, and found a couple new ones.

    For the Khan Maykr I recommend the lock-on rocket launcher mod (don't forget to meat-hook/bloodpunch), and for Icon of Sin, I found the chaingun with the mod for increased fire speed, and vanilla plasma rifle best.

    I equipped the rune that let me survive one fatal hit at low health but if I'm honest I didn't see it work, though I only died twice out of my 40 lives.

    NinETaiLShuBZCan you use the cheat codes to help with this does anyone know?

    Rubber Ducksss@NinETaiLShuBZ I've just started the game again, doesn't look like you can use any cheats as its a brand new game mode.

    SL1CK CHR1SYeah this was not nearly as bad as I was expecting. I think I finished with 37 or 38 lives. Thanks to I'm Too Young to Die.

    brayargHiya, I just started this last night, disappointed it's the same Champaign again, I was expecting some original doom campaign from the 90s.

    KriostyxTotally doable, managed it with 50 lives on ITYTD difficulty.

    Don't bother with the bonus encounters, most of them are not deadly but a couple really really are. And dying to them is not worth it. Utilize fast travel and automap to get all 1UPs at the end of the levels, be aware of the time limit ending at Super Gore Nest, as it sounds like it eats all your lives if the timer runs out. You only really need some of the Sentinel Batteries to open up the upgrade doors in the Fortress Of Doom, so focusing too much on the trickier challenges is also not worth losing your rhythm over.

    CarlosYabrudyWhy did it give me an option to start over once I died half way through once and had about 20 extra lives yet it reset my campagne?
