Absolution Reloaded is a remixed Doom 64 "Absolution" map by Atomic Frog. Here the challenge is to beat the stage on "Watch Me Die" difficulty, with fast monsters, no mid-level saves, and without using the demon keys nor the unmaker.

Here's a few of my unsuccessful attempts! To handle the horde of demons, I used the partial invisibility power up to keep me mostly safe from the outer arachnotrons. Then I proceeded to take them out with rockets. I used strafe running so I could quickly circle the map and avoid lost soul attacks. After the ground level arachnotrons were dead, I switched to the super shotgun to take out the pain elementals. This let me continue to strafe run without worrying to much about perfect aiming. Plus I believe the super shotgun can blast through enemies to hit crowded elementals. Missiles might be a good choice here too. After the elementals were dead, my strategy was then to take out outer perimeter hell knights and arachotrons up high with rockets. This is to prevent me from getting hit during the mother demon battle.

Then once the nightmare mother is awakened my strategy was to BFG blast her up close while grabbing the blue sphere. Since she is a nightmare mother demon, she likely has twice the health of a normal mother demon, so I saved all of the cell ammo for the BFG to use on her. But what threw a wrench in my strategy was the cyberdemon whose missiles ended me with one shot. I was hoping the mother demon would block the cyberdemon shots but its hard to maneuver in such a way to have her block him. Especially now that she's a nightmare mother demon, it takes more time to take her out. Atomic Frog demonstrated you can use one of the side tunnels to cheese her, but I think she can be taken out head on with the BFG. Perhaps a strategy might be to BFG blast her out of the way, grab the blue sphere, then keep on the outside perimeter and attack her with the BFG and missiles. I haven't tried this yet, but it may be possible to get the mother demon and cyberdemon to infight if you dont attack them and get the cyberdemon to hit her. I believe this challenge could be done with more practice!
