"I understand a lot better everything vile wrote in his text file after playing this map for a few hours, and to dodge the cybers just keeping calm slow movement seems best."
One of the most notorious nosp2 maps because of it's secret fight, the start of the map is a pretty easy autoscroller until a switch is revealed to open the secret fight. Luckily the first set of cybers is placed in a direction that allows us to stack some bfg shots before going in the teleporter and we can wallrun to reach the teleporter faster than the bfg balls.
And there is not much more strategy to the map, there is a slow way to do the fight making use of sound block lines that allow you to kill cybers one by one but since this is supposed to be a speedrun we need to fight all cybers at once, and the sound block line actually works against this because to wake the cybers we must enter their sector and fire a bfg shot in there. Sadly, while the map is notoriously for it's difficulty, there is not much room to save time in it, and getting a faster time depends mostly on how many barons are alive at the end and how fast you can find them.

7:06 was so ballsy/risky - I loved it.

[@YautjaCeltic]

The music is awesome.

[@malicant123]

Looks like a great map. Now let's see a pacifist run!

[@costco_pizza]

A pacifist run would be the right way to go. After all, these monsters are only following orders from the Icon of Sin, and are innocent of any crimes. They do not deserve to be harmed.

[@Jasiuuu]

HOLY SHIT

[@tatamimats]

great run

[@besusbb]

awesome max!

[@ARCHVILE_DRS]

8:31 no way the WAD author shuffled the monster entries so that Cyberdemons can be revived... why

[@Phytolizer]

Archviles can be revived too :)
also it doesn't require shuffling, just setting up respawn frames

[@BuddyLee23]

Now all we need are resurrected lost souls lol.

[@Phytolizer]

@@BuddyLee23 or resurrected Pain Elementals...

[@godfist314]
