After E1M6 I was scared that E1M7 and E1M8 would be crazy difficult on Nightmare, but thankfully they were not. They're still a fair bit challenging, but no where near as difficult as E1M6 on Nightmare. I mean to be fair I have gotten a lot better at Doom in general.

Not much to say about the Blue Key fight since luckily I can skip it by rocket jumping. Though I do go for the Blue Key fight first so I can have Blue Armor going into the Yellow Key fight. For the Orange Key fight you can stay silent up until you need to shoot the shootable switch, which delays monsters teleporting in. The actual hard part is needing to push out which is possible but it is very easy to die from Cacodemons or Barons. This is also why having Blue Armor for this section is good. The Blue Armor given in the Yellow Key fight is usually blocked by Barons.

The Red key fight is a lot simpler and easier which basically amounts to ignoring the fight entirely. The Cyberdemons are essentially guaranteed to infight and you get 2 Supercharges so health isn't a huge concern. You also don't even need to use the lift, I forgot about it until now that you can save time by not using the lift and just jumping to the edge. Oh well this demo is still fine. 3:28 is around my PB and I wanted a sub 3:30 anyway.

The Final Fight is also not too bad. You just need to clear the Cacos so that you can use the lift safely without getting decimated. There's plenty of Cells, especially on Nightmare with 2x the ammo and the Cyberdemon can help too. Actually getting up the lift is hard part just because of the damaging floor.
