"The curve fight with the mastermind and hk/revs is bullshit."

At this point nosp2 maps start getting really big, and the speedmapping nature of the wad feels like it starts to take some effect on the balance on some fights, with some of them being really easy while others are crazy hard. Nothing in this map is particularly hard except for one fight, the L shape room with the mastermind and spawning revs and hks. I see no way to reasonably do this fight other than escape it shooting plasma through the rev/hks and hoping you make it to the other side, but I doubt this is the intended strategy, but doing it in what feels like the inteded way is inhumanly hard.

The secret is absolutely useless but it's a nice room where you really need to be careful about alerting viles slowly so they don't start uncontrolably reviving each other, one of the few places in the wad where the mechanic is used like this.

The route is to try to skip everything to get to the secret fight and then revisit the map clearing the left overs with the infinite rocket launcher, sadly we can't skip that much because the map is simply structure into room after room with a fight each and sometimes we have to kill the majority of the enemies to get to the next room, also I think I saw someone skipping the finale faster than the way I do it here. At least the route proves to be good by being a minute faster than a tas run that clears the map in a more intended way.
