Absolution Reloaded made by Atomic Frog is a remixed Doom 64 "Absolution" map which has much more beautiful detailing and is intended to be difficult even with the upgraded unmaker. My challenge here is to beat the level on "Watch Me Die" difficulty, with fast monsters, no mid-level saves, and without using the demon keys nor the unmaker.
I dubbed the strategy I used to beat this challenge the "Running Scared" strategy. First rule is to get used to circle strafing around the map for safety! Then here are the steps I followed. Right after grabbing the partial invisibility sphere, take out the lower level arachnotrons with the rocket launcher, otherwise they will chip at your health. Watch out for the pinkies who will cause you to rocket suicide! After those arachnotrons are finished, the next task is to take out the pain elementals and lost souls. I used the BFG and super shotgun for that. Then the center mancubi, arachnotrons, and cacodemons can be handled with rockets. I keep most of the outer enemies on the upper level alive, except for the hell knights behind the middle spawner. Killing them gives me a safe spot for when the nightmare mother and cyberdemon spawn. Then I took out the remaining center hell knights and barons. I kind of corralled them towards my safe spot before killing the last one, after which I hid in my safe spot. The nightmare mother couldn't reach me there and it gives time for the cyberdemon to move away from the outer ring of the level. With the cyberdemon safely out of the way, it was back to circle strafing! The remaining demons and cyberdemon will damage each other with projectiles. Here, I pretty much ignore everything except the nightmare mother. It's really hard to see her, so my strategy is to let the demon projectiles hit her and randomly shotgun blast or BFG blast the center in hopes of hitting her. Typically the cyberdemon will die first, but be patient, circle strafe, grab the spawning pickups, and the nightmare mother will eventually die too!
