Description:
Good enough for now. I'll try to do a nightmare all secrets run soon I think, or maybe improve the uv-speed time again.
E5M1: This map is all about dodging projectiles and especially avoiding the lost souls which are quite annoying.
E5M2: Thank god for the secret at the start, don't know what I'd do without it. Anyways I found a shortcut here, the teleporter in the lava takes you straight to red key door, doesn't save too much health and armor, but it saves some time, I'll need to include it in a new uv-speed demo.
E5M3: I've had some trouble hitting the first evil eye switch so I get a bit closer and just run across to the ledge instead. This avoids sometimes having a cacodemon block the entire path so that's nice. I take the end a bit slow here, I think it can be done much faster by simply running past everything. It's best to exit this level with about 125 health or so though.
E5M4: Not really necessary to skip the crusher lindefs if you have enough armor, but I decided I'd go with the green armor here. Not having to rocket boost across the key bars is pretty nice, leaves me with good health for the next map usually.
E5M5: This level is really difficult on nightmare. There's a lot of hitscan that slowly drains your health and there isn't that much health to pick up. You can either go for blue key first or activate a linedef that's required to progress while getting the mega armor. I think getting mega armor last is slightly better because of how the hitscanners move around, but I'm not sure.
Then in the last area you need some luck where you hope that monsters don't respawn and you avoid rocketing yourself... or just have enough health and survive anyways.
E5M6: Most likely always low on health on this map. I just try to clear everything at the start from safe distance as the rest should be quite safe. Delaying the invulnerability as long as possible will ensure you get 2 chances to make it to the exit, it's not too often the cyberdemon hits you.
E5M7: I go and take a soulsphere secret with the invulnerability so I can get 200/200 for the later parts of the level which would be quite dangerous without it. I don't see a way to do the linedef skip on the last teleporter on nightmare, too much hitscan around that can push you, and no other way to set it up as far as I can see.
E5M8: Just get to the exit alive :)
