My objective was sub 4m15, so I was quite happy with this 4m02, even though at this point it felt that sub 4m is totally possible; but I really had to stop. This was a fun map to theory-craft from scratch. The fights are not very difficult as this map is quite large and does not follow the rule of "no more than 300 linedefs". Monster placement is not very dense, so dying is not usually a concern. That changes drastically with fast monsters. The pinkies guarding the way to the blue key are slow to kill with either the shotgun or the chaingun, and resorting to in-fighting means releasing the pinkies early and mix them with the SS. A fast but very risky strategy. The first and last rooms are the most interesting ones because of their open-ness and non-linearity; there are many different routes you can experiment with. So I'm very confident that sub 4 with fast monsters will become a reality as soon as someone else picks this map up. As for me, I'm done with map 33. It's time to start grinding the D2All!

My first D2All. Counting from the first UV Fast IL I did of Zone 300, this one was 3 years in the making. I should probably have just submitted my first exit, but by then I had already committed to getting a better time, and I also had made better strategies. Talk about sunk-cost fallacy... not that I believe that spending 800 attempts for a gain of 2 minutes is worth it...
I'm glad to be done with this challenge.

A face-rocket causes stun damage. So you might die from it even if you don't die from it.

This run was part of my "One Day Challenge", where I limit myself to a single livestream to study, route, practice, and run a single map. This map was a frustrating RNG grind. NightTerror's time on this is admirably good. I struggled to get this time; which was my first sub 2 exit, but I was so close to getting sub 1m50 that I almost felt tempted to keep trying. But in the end I decided against it because I have other maps to grind; the E4M1 IL is not my priority ATM. But even if I did grind this more, I'm not sure I could have beaten NT's time.
As for the strategies used here: other than getting perfect movement on the jump, around the first Imp, and towards the button, you need a lot of luck to survive the massive damage that all the shotgunners at the start can deal. Ideally you want to one-shot double kill both groups of shotgunners after you go through the tunnel, but that's luck-based as well. Then good (and slow) movement will get you in a good setup to grab the RK through the bars. Make sure you hug the left corner of the bars to wake up one of the Barons in advance, so that it teleports later into position. If you don't you might be missing one Baron later when you want to rocket the entire group.
The middle of the run is not very difficult because by this time you mostly only have Imps to deal with. Kill as little as possible until you get into the NIN room, and pray that more stuff dies to in-fighting. Once you press the torch, firing at the imp will wake up the monster closets so you have very little time to tag the secret while the platform is still lowering, and then strafe left towards the wall before exiting, to avoid triggering the walls that can trap the monsters inside and make you lose time.
Finally you need to deal with the inside of the RK building. Step inside to wake up the shotgunners and use the chaingun to snipe them as they teleport. Kill any non-baron-enemies that are waiting at the bars to make space for all the 5 Barons to group together. As you wait for them to approach, open the wall on the other side and kill the Imps there. Once the 5 Barons get close to the Barons, fire all your rockets at them, and try to maximize splash damage, as well as spread the direct rocket damage on all the Barons. Then loop around the other side, open the blue door in advance, and use the last of your ammo to kill everything before you run back to the exit.

I really have to stop saying things like "24 seconds might be impossible"! This was a TECHNICAL but FUN map to grind, because the route doesn't depend on the strategy: UV Fast, UV Max, UV Speed, NM Speed are all the same - you just need to move fast and kill the icon of sin with as few rockets as possible. Since you can safely kill the only arch-vile and collect the only secret while the icon of sin is doing it's death animation, any% and 100% categories will have the same time here; although runs on nightmare / fast monsters are slightly more difficult due to the increased projectile speeds increasing the chances of getting hit and falling over.
Rizera's demo was technically innovative. Skipping the 2 far away buttons and jumping directly to the 3rd platform is a huge time save (discovered by 4shockblast). Also, by shooting at an angle and making the most of the rockets' square blast damage distribution, Rizera managed to increase the damage per rocket and destroy the icon of sin in 7 rockets only. However, after doing some testing, I realized that, with an extremely precise position and angle, it was possible to kill the icon of sin in 6 rockets. It took a few attempts, but I managed to get the setup right and nail the 6-rocket-kill. That, together with a quick-start trick and some SR50 movement before hitting the first button, and I saved enough frames to land a 24s run. Super happy with this result! Also, attempt 69? Nice!
23 seconds is impossible. There, I said it. Your move, 4shockblast :)
