Secrets:
1) 00:53 hurry, before door closes. straferunning required to reach boris hideout
2) 08:02 sr down to the supercharge!
3) 09:00 zerk pack. rather useless at this point, but red screen always pumps adrenaline.
4) 10:20 megasphere!

Serious business starts again! from this map, a nice series of very challenging maps waits.

A pretty long level! Depending on the route chosen, this map can either be troubling ammo-wise, or -like in my case- armour wise. I decided to delay the green armour in order to be faster, but this forced to play a bit more careful than usual. You may notice in fact the smart- and fair disposition of single armour bonuses in the first part, and me taking an eye on not getting hit as I commonly don't care. But ending without armour still happened.
Around each key position, there are pretty dangerous areas like after the red key, all the revenants before picking the blue key and the room your are trapped after the yellow one.
There are several small mistakes in the run, but without exceeding armour and no large ammo disposition, this level isn't surely the easiest. In the ending part I could save some time, but the archvile was very slow to reach me, and got covered by way 2 many revenants; the cyber almost blasted me down, and I almost suicided myself before the last caco was dead. The DSDA record was a revisited time by gggmork in 13:01 -an update of his older 14:53 scored earlier on- I first had a 12:54, with better playing near the ending, but I wanted to improve the time. After some more attempts I had this 12:44 which I still tried to improve down to an early 12, but after failing stupidly a few promising attempts, I decided to let it be for now.

ps: like in the FDA i posted in DW forums, you can actually get trapped without any way out in the red key area. This occurs if you press the switch and move backwards in the key room, as there are no other switches to re open from that side.
