Older demo that I realised I never uploaded. This was the first map I really put serious effort into taking the UV MAX record for, and it was a terrible choice.

This map sucks to run. Extremely precise movement is required throughout (particularly all 3 secrets) and very thin margins for survival given you have effectively no armour.

The RNG required in order for a run to be viable is extreme. Both the chaingunners and the mob of enemies in the main courtyard need to infight well if you want any hope of a good time, and you'll have no real sense of how well that infighting is going until you're right at the end, so you're forced to complete runs that never had a chance in the first place.

When I started running this I was targeting j4iro's 2:57.8 (WR at the time), but it took me so long to get this exit that both Dubzzz and Henning Skogsto had improved on it. This beats Dubzzz's time by 0.31s, but Henning's is extremely close to as good as you can get without putting an absurd about of attempts in.

In the end, while I'm not particularly happy with this run (nearly missing the berserk secret is ugly as hell, and the courtyard cleanup could have been much faster), I achieved my original goal of improving on j4iro's time, so this'll be the last time I touch this map.
