This map was extremely hard. I spent much time and died many times for getting this record. The beginning of this map was very unfair. You have to fight against tough enemies with a shotgun or a chaingun. A SSG after a blue key's door is very far or a rocket launcher is in a secret with a herd of enemies. This map is small overall, so you are blocked enemies easily when you run through them for getting stronger weapons quickly, but to aviod them well is very important for a faster record.
What is the optimal route? There are two possible routes. One route goes to get the SSG quickly or the other route goes to get the rocket launcher (and a berserk) quickly. I selected the latter which seemed to be faster, but it was truly difficult. Many cacodemons in the secret obstructed me, then homing missiles passed under the floating cacodemons and hit me who was stuck. The rough outdoor areas also hindered smooth movements.
It was risky to avoid mancubus and going to a secret for picking up a blue armor. I actually received terrible damage from mancubi fire balls in this run but managed to survive. After getting a red key, many enemies spawns in the entire map, so you should be careful until the end.
