Who would've thought that a map on HMP would give me more troubles than some maps on UV :^)

Anyway for this being my first ever skill 3 demo I've done I'm actually quite happy with it. It was a 4 day grind but of course I took breaks between playing.

I should also mention that this is probably one of my favourite maps ever, the fights are so well made, feel original and the map is super fun to grind. UV is significantly harder than HMP and alot more exhausting to attempt, big changes are on the fight where you get the BFG, the blue key fight has a teleporter below if you fall so you can go back up and I belive it has less revs spawning, the infinite RL fight is probably the most nerfed part on the map, there is alot of extra cells added on the corners and +1 extra mega on the spots where you fight all the enemies. The penultimate fight can be cheesed by pre-firing at the imps so rest of the enemies don't wake up and see you and thus the doors behind you open which allows you to clear stuff safely. Lastly the final fight is much easier than on UV, crossing feels less rng and there's less cybers which means less chance for them to leak out from the corners and screw you over.

Big thanks to Partycrasher, Ancalagon and Kinetic for discovering safer strats and supporting me through this run!
