Belleow is a reflection on my strategy and how my run went. 
Opening fight: Ok, but had runs that ended with more health and/or cells. Had someruns where I got the barrons and imps to infight, but that was a bit to inconsistent and slow for me to pull it off, but if they really start to fight eachother then you can end the room with 80+ cells, which is a pretty good start and can really help out in the later fights. 

Minigun fight: Went good, but the plasma burst at the end was really unnecessary

CyberDeamon fight: Oh boy, this is defintly the fight I had the most consistansy problems with. It feels really diffucily and a bit random to kill the lesser demons, while not getting stuck/cornered by the barrons,while not getting hit by the cyberdeamon's rockets. This ended up being a really chaotic fight most of the times. Where sometime you just get insta hit by a rocket when you try to pick up the soulsphre and armor. Other times your get hit by a max dmg barron shot early. In this run I was able to pretty easly clean up most of the lesser deamon and run around without getting blocked while the cyberdemon was busy infight, so that's a pretty ideal start to the fight, the rest of it was a bit sloppy and I lost more hp then I needed too, but that doen't really matter as you get hp at the start of the two next fights.

Shotguners : Really easy, if you just run back to the last arena and peak with the minigun, then its a cake walk. 

Redskull fight: I tried so many weird stats that defintly didn't really work in this section. Best start ended up being to shotguning the imps, plasma on the first barron, then shotgun on the last barron. Then melee/shotgun the pinkies. 

Stair fight: Rocket the imp then go back to the redskull room to open the door back to the shotgunner room and pick up shells, then slowly shotgun all of the cacos and imps. Did a little mistake by aggroing the cacos before I went to kill the barons in the redskull room. 

Elevator room: Pretty easy when you are save up rockets and cells from the previus fights. Also help to kill the barons before being locked going inside the room and the door closing.

Final fight: Focus on thining the horde of cacos and lost souls, espacily try to hit lots of lots souls in the beginning. Try to regularly move from side to side. Use plasma if you feel like your going to get blocked when you to reposition to the other side. Try to avoid rocketing charging lots souls (still happend to me int the run). The fight is more or less won once you are able to easily more around all of the enmies without needing to use the plasma. Rocketing the two barrons before entering the room felt a bit cheesy, but help making my attemtps at the fight much more reliable.

I'm very happy that I was able to UV-MAX this one, as this is my first Fairweather map I finsihed for the DOOMEDIndex.
