Description:
============
I took on a challenge to revisit an old map that previously treated me poorly. In my playthrough of many WADs this map stands out as one of the ones which exposed the greatest gap between my skills and the challenges of the maps I have undertaken (bear in mind that as of now I have completed WADs as notorious as Alien Vendetta, Hell Revealed and Speed of Doom - all pistol start, all kills and secrets, single-segment and on UV).
 
The major issue I faced in my original playthrough of this map was my glacial finger speed and an inability with fundamental berserking skills, like movement precision and punch timing. To help in my development I decided to return to my nemesis and see if I could grind a little on movement and Tyson challenges to improve these skills. The outcome was some solid times (for me) and a general improvement in my movement and berserking skills.

I focussed largely on three categories: Pacifist, Tyson, NoMo. In total I reached 4,235 attempts across all categories before I decided to call it a day.

Details on the Pacifist Run: For the Pacifist run the main challenge was the final room with the Caco and three pinkies (in the red door area). If they block you the run is dead and they are right at the door. Standing to the right of the door as it was opened helped but it was still out of my control. Other tough areas were weaving through the initial corridors, promoting a helpful/distracted cyber (it was quicker to run to the cyber teleporter directly and not telefrag it) and getting around the imps as you emerge from the pit having dropped from the red key platform.
