This is my first speed-run attempt at an Icon of Sin (Doom 2 boss) type map (which is special because this is map 28). Usually that encounter is pretty easy (even though I had a close encounter in this run) - the rest of the map before that, not quite.

Nice atmospheric map but I experienced a few graphical glitches. Spot them if you can. :) The whole bestiary is present here, apart from the spider mastermind, and, I think, the puny zombie. This is hell after all. :)

It wasn't always easy to decide which monsters I should skip before running to the next area (infighting can be quite a large factor in this map). Eventually I decided that the cacos at the start must go, since I missed one or two quite often in the end. It turned out to be a wise decision and my final time was a lot quicker. It can probably be pushed by about 20 seconds using the same approach I think - this run is a bit messy.

Spawning on top of the baron of hell at 3:27 was pretty lucky - I think it happens in less than one in five times, if I should guess.

This was also probably my unluckiest map of all time. If I didn't miss a monster or two on otherwise perfect runs (a few times), I managed to die somehow at the end (that happened six times - yes even though I still think the ending is easy, but it doesn't help if you arrive there with 50 health). So this took me a lot longer than I planned.

I also despised that room with the stupid narrow ledge. It's just a pet peeve of mine. Falling down a ledge is just such a sucky reason to cancel a speed run attempt, especially at 6 minutes in. I'd much rather prefer to go out in flames!

Hope you enjoy the run, thanks for watching!
