Well this took longer than expected, during the weekend there were some random blind races on discord and this is one of the wads that appeared, I liked it a lot so I decided to max it and oh boy, came up with quite a route. Initially I thought you wouldn't be able to run straight to the bfg for 3 problems, first the group of 5 viles blocking a switch that you must press, this problem is "fixed" by making the cyber shoot the viles as you open the door, but they still killed me most of the time. Next is the caco cloud, if you take just a bit too long pressing all the switches they completely block the way and there aren't very strong weapons to push past them, not to mention the 6 viles that are still running around. And at last there is the platforming, I thought this could be my saving grace trying to not make a very aggressive route, but sadly the platform rises slow enough that you can easily get on it and run for the blue door with the bfg, spawning a few more viles that I just had to hope didn't target me, they usually did and made me reach the blue door with just 100hp from the medkits outside for not very good results at trying to do that room quick. Had a few deaths to the finale, I feel kinda bad there cause it shouldn't be that bad but it's really easy to be caught by surprise by one of the afrits and taking fatal damage, there was also one attempt where the vile pushed me into the teleporter in the bfg room making me unable to kill the monsters in the room, and of course that attempt was one where I managed to survive the finale.
I wanted sub 6 minutes and I got it, I feel the cleanup could be cleaner but again it's hard to know where monsters will be hiding, in practice I had some imps surviving on the bottom area and usually some pains were able to fly around undetected, here I was lucky to find both mancs fast and lucky that they weren't at the other side of that high platform, there are also always many cacos or afrits flying everywhere making it hard to kill them in nice big groups, so I guess the cleanup is okay after all.
