Comments: I got a bit frustrated while recording this map. What killed me the most was the BFG encounter at the beginning, as monsters would oftentimes decide to go pacifist and I'd get overwhelmed no matter which side I stayed on. The cyber was super unreliable for infighting, and for that reason I tried a lot of different approaches and positionings on my attempts. I think most of the times I got past that section I got to the final fight, in which I died 5 times while trying to push for cells and getting blocked by lost souls when trying to retreat. Apart from all that, I had some issues with routing, as I took a while to realize you don't need to hit the yellow switch to access the rocket launcher, which is a whole of a lot easier than actually using the key immediately. Anyway, cool map, cool setting, my strategies weren't very good for most of my attempts which made it harder, but once you figure out a safe way to tackle things it becomes easier.
