Played a mix of cautious and reckless here, but it's the only thing I could do to even stay alive half of the time. This whole map is just nasty on Nightmare and I'm glad I could pull this off. There's a few places where I'm not satisfactory with my performance, but I'm not going to complain too much.

Description:

Nothing but carnage. From start to finish, this is pure mayhem, chaos incarnate, and downright fun, for the most part.

The big trouble spots here are right after the Yellow Key since you can get blocked by Pinkies here, or the Mancubus. Then the Red Key is a pain coming back, especially if those Arch-Viles start spawning, which this time they did not. I'm not entirely sure how they are woken up but I didn't trigger it this time. The last difficult spot is the final stretch with the Blue Key. There is no amount of skill that can really save you here, at least in my opinion. You can get trapped by the tons of Chaingunners, which allows you to be fried by roaming Arch-Viles or blown to pieces by the Cyberdemon from the first secret. If you can't weave past them fast enough, and with enough plasma left over, you aren't going to finish. Even more true if the room past the Red bars decided to start spawning demons as well.

In short: All three keys will cause you to die, repeated, painful, endless deaths that will make you want to either rage quit, keep trying, or destroy something.

Oh yes, 95% of this map is going to be ran with the BFG. This is why I said earlier... if you run out of plasma, you're pretty fucked.

This is my favorite map in Alien Vendetta, so I want to thank Anders Johnsen for making such pure brilliance. Even the music is amazing here.

Below 2:30 is possible, and I realize my time is a bit slow, but there really isn't any *safe* way to approach most everything in this map.

This also takes the normal Nightmare! speedrun exit... I wonder if you can even really cut out any secrets and not rip your hair out.
