Another fun map to clear with the Reality category. This one does not have many hit-scanners, just a few at the beginning. However, the map is quite difficult if you try to go fast especially because you need to dodge homing revenant missiles, straight revenant missiles, and straight imp fireballs, all at the same time. High dodging movement skills are required to complete this challenge.

Also, you need to do a squeeze glide at the blue bar near the exit, to skip more than half of the level. Thankfully there's a perpendicular wall next to that spot, so it's a guided glide, which is slightly easier. After practicing for 10 or 20 times using the mouse to strafe left (props to PartyCrasher for that technique), I could pull off the glide successfully 100% of the time.

The only thing that varied is the time needed to pull off the glide: sometimes it was instantaneous, other times it took several seconds. That, combined with the fact that I left the last Hell Knight alive to save time, means that if it takes too long to pull off the glide, the Hell Knight hits me and the run is over.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone beat this time and got something like a 2m30. I made some mistakes, missed a few shots, had a slow start, a slow glide, and also killed the arch-vile quite slowly. But without using the arch-vile jump which is the current strategy for regular UV Speed, I don't see how it can be possible to go below 2mins on Reality in this map.
