Oh boy, what a map this is. I understand why people may detest this map, but this is probably one of the best maps in the megawad for me!

The start is luck based, depends how much health you lose before the invulnerability, but then the rest of it is mostly up to your skills. From my experience, to get a good run in this map, you need bold BFG skills and a lot of tracer luck.

I had to do a lot of digging in with this map, and I have to say, it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Compared to map 2, this map is a breeze and is a lot more skill based rather than the odd RNG-fests. Credit to A1s for helping me get better with the BFG shots, since tracers really mean a ton! I will place a link to that video at the bottom.

I did originally get a run on attempt 27, however it was a 4 minute run, which didn't seem enough according to me. I thought if I tried hard enough i'd get a sub 3 minute, but doing that was much harder than I thought.

Overall, this map is awesome. I dig the slaughter based combat, where there is a lot of BFG skill involved to clear the murders of monsters out. However, it personally could do with less arch viles, those martians are the causes of many failed runs!
