Huge map, nice design (love the sewer style) , cool ideas, and a very bad-ass secret to the megasphere.
The leveI is like a montain to climb. The start is rather easy, poor ammo and weapon stock, but early enough appears knights, revenants as you break your way through the map. I consider this long map very balanced because of this, and there are very challenging rooms indeed! I decided to pick up the BFG as soon as possible, to have less troubles in a few parts, which can be otherwise very dangerous with just the rockets. Going for BFG the earliest, also meant I could count on the megasphere hidden there. In this run it took just a few tries to success in the jump from the stairs. Reading vdgg's comments on the level I was rather scared by it.. but the first time I played the level, I jumped perfectly on the cliff the first attempt. Somehow this jump was never such an hassle for me, may be for my key binding, no clue.
I found particularly tricky the first vaste area with the main "fork" with the spiders and revenants. There are plenty of monsters there and the cross fire can own you if you don't pay attention. That's the only part of the map where I played careful I'd say, Ive tried to keep playing the fastest possible everywhere else, and Im pretty happy with the result. I was rather close to die at the end, for being trapped by monsters. This may happen in various part of the level, so the route, and weapon use had to be well planned.

I first had a 39:xx but i had lost up to 1minute around the middle of the map, because I was rather lost. So i decided to keep challenging and this is the result; in the 39min run I had the megasphere jump at first attempt and made some perfect-playing actions in some rooms, but in the end the final time counts^^ The previous DSDA record was in 51:38 by vdgg.

note: It's not possible to kill all the 766 monsters here, as 3~8 enemies always stays trapped before teleport lines.
