So far this has surprisingly been the easiest map in the set so far. There's not very many encounters that are lethal even if you're not equipped properly. The run itself was pretty good, less than 100 attempts and took about an hour of running to complete.

The first part is making sure the pain elemental dies. It's either that or you have to deal with like 10 lost souls all scattered at the central part of the map. You can simply shotgun the meatball before it spits out any of those pesky skulls. Make sure to hit the switch whilst you're at it and hope the revenant gets hit by the chaingunner in the distance.

Once that's done, you can initiate the super shotgun fight. Kill as many revenants as you can within the timespan, press the switch and then escape. The mancubi and barons will make themselves busy and usually you won't have to deal with much later on.

The high up part is also very easy, just hope that when you get the red key, the infinite height of a monster doesn't block you and end your run.

Then comes the bfg fight. This is the only part of the map I found hard. From what i can tell, it's very much luck based whether the arch vile wants to move infront of the cyber and whether the cyber wants to fire it's rockets into your face. You want to make sure the vile is busy infighting the cyber when you grab the BFG, and try and get it to fire rockets in a wide space so that way you won't risk taking splash damage. Then try the two tap dance and you'll come out perfectly fine. This fight can go horribly wrong if the monster doesn't behave in the way you'd expect it to.

From there, save cells for the final fight, and shotgun everything else. Congratulations, you're half-way through crumpets.

Now that maps 02-05 are done, I can safely say that the "easy" half of crumpets has been conquered by me. The second half of the maps are really going to ramp up the difficulty, but I think i've done worse maps than those. We'll see when I try them out.

I'm hoping to get Rush Map 12 out soon, but the map is extremely hard. Bear with me for it, since I am trying my hardest to get it out as quickly as possible (even though it's been over a month). Just stay tuned for what's to come in the future!
