| On the /idgames review page, Zahid stated "is it even possible to  |
| beat without cheat?....not for me i guess....layout is nice        |
| though" giving 4 stars. Then, it turned out, he finished it,       |
| as there is his demo available. I actually steal some strategies,  |
| like the first switch or shooting monsters from below, where bars  |
| grant protection to the player, but not so much to monsters.       |
|                                                                    |
| The progression is as follows:                                     |
| - no colour switch                                                 |
| - SSG, 6 pinkies, blue key                                         |
| - 10 ARCH-VILES (either you hate it or you enjoy it; I enjoy it)   |
| - chaingun (only useful is you're low on shotgun shells)           |
| - blue switch                                                      |
| - 3 barons, red key (no problem unless you are me)                 |
| - many cacodemons                                                  |
| - rocket launcher                                                  |
| - red switch                                                       |
| - imps and then revenants, yellow key                              |
| - a mix of revenants, hell knights, chaingunners + 2 mancubuses    |
| - plasma gun                                                       |
| - once you press the yellow switch there is another horde so       |
|   stay silent and run to the start                                 |
| - clean-up.                                                        |
|                                                                    |
| I really don't think you can skip the arch-viles until you get     |
| good weapons, but who knows? The demo is still kind of slow        |
| so I may improve it in the future. A faster demo would require     |
| more familiarity with the layout and some luck of course.          |
