Completing this map without damage makes for a very interesting route. Unlike the regular UV Speed route where you just arch-vile jump into the blue key and go directly for the exit, here you can't do that and need to collect the yellow key first, and go through the yellow door to collect the blue key afterwards. Collecting the yellow key is fairly easy; the main problem of this map, however, is returning back from the tight corridor where you entered to get the yellow key. There's a big group of monsters just before that door that you wake up when going through, and when coming back they occupy the whole corridor, block your path, and hit you. And we're talking about imps, cacodemons, hell knights, revenants, and a mancubus; So sticking around to kill them isn't an option (especially) since an archvile is approaching from the back, and there are chaingunners around. So, the strategy to get past the corridor resolves around in-fighting. First you have to not fire any single shot from the start of the map. Then, just before entering the door, you should stick around for a few seconds until the mancubus starts in-fighting. That will make several of the high health enemies stay distracted in-fighting behind the door, and often go back to sleep after the in-fighting is over (because you never fired any shots before). I managed to pull this strategy off in this run, and the corridor had just a few imps, that I could quickly kill with the SSG and move forwards. The next problem are the lost souls and pain elementals past the yellow door. I recommend waking up the first group behind the corner, and immediately stepping back. This makes the lost souls follow you in that direction and make a small gap, that you can then run through with the chaingun, pushing back all the other monsters that might stand in your way. After that, kill the first spectre with the SSG and try to run past the second if you can. Grab the blue key, and pray that no cacodemon blocks you while you rush to the exit. With cleaner movement, with a faster mancubus in-fight, and without that final cacodemon blocking my path, I believe that a time of 0m49 should be possible.

This was the moment that the card combo really escalated in difficulty, and I started dying BECAUSE of the cards picked. The new duplicator card makes enemies around the cursed monster multiply by up to 4. Mixing that with the baby army card and the double-curse card that affects all other curse cards... and the chaos really began to multiply on this episode...

Goodbye E2M6 forever. Holy f*** that was frustrating. Managed to beat the WR by 9 seconds, but failed my objective of getting a sub 4min run. I KNOW that it's possible, but I just had to stop grinding, because every game session became pure torture. Last time I played this, 4 months ago, I failed to beat the world record, and settled for a personal best of 4m10. After that I played the episode 2 in UV Max, and made several optimizations to the routes of E2M5, E2M6, and E2M7. Of those 3, I was only missing the WR from E2M6, so I decided to get back to it with the new optimized route, and try to beat Radek Pecka's record. I was only 1 second away the last time I tried anyway, how hard could it be? Honestly, beating the WR itself was not very hard with the new route; even with a pretty bad run, I managed to get a 4m08 exit quickly. After a couple more tries I managed to get several 4m03 exits, all of them with a few mistakes. I felt it in my gut that a 3m59 had to be possible! I grinded for hours, and did a couple hundred more attempts. I completely exhausted my patience for this map. In the end, the best I could get was this 4m00.69 run. This was the worst 69 of my life. Oh wait, maybe not? Nevermind. Anyway, this run has a couple of mistakes and moments of bad luck, and I think that it could have been 6 seconds faster with this very route; so a time of 3m54 should be possible. To whoever reads this and thinks about attempting it: I hope you have more patience for berserk punching than I did!
