This map was always odd to me. At first I must admit, I didn't like this map, but now I actually like it a lot. A lot of it is about how skilful you are at maneuvering through the map as well as being precise with how to kill enemies. Most of the time I either messed up the platforming or failed to use the invulnerability the correct way.

This run was very meh, I thought it was alright by a long shot, however I could definitely improve my time. I usually come to upload my speedruns when I am fairly exhausted, and this is no exception to that. All I have to say is that the hardest part for me was the double cyberdemon arch-vile part. Since the invulnerability ran out fairly quickly, it was hard to kill the cyberdemons within that time and efficiently. I also found they were very keen on hitting me off the map, meaning inescapable death. The cyberdemon at the very end of the map did this to me once, and it made me rage quite a bit.

The only reason this took 210 attempts (I assumed it would be much quicker) was because I had to restart due to not moving efficiently enough or within time. The platforming especially caught my eye, as I had to SR50 across in order to make it, which without a run up is fairly tough to pull off.

This run overall is a good run, but it could do with some improving. I like this map too, it's unique to the other maps, with a low enemy count but high danger when it comes to most battles. The secrets are very rewarding too! If you are reading this Archi, give yourself a thumbs up because I ended up enjoying this in the end!
