This is by far my longest (and hardest) (speed)run so far, followed by Simulacrum Episode 2 UV Max barely 2 months ago. I got it faster though in only 192 attempts.

Surprisingly I got to map30 in attempt n°5 where I died in the finale during the very first session! Naturally it was just only some beginner luck and I started to struggle a lot more afterwards especially in the early maps.

It's only half a speedrun since the more I progress into the run, the safer and slower I play. Map30 being 57 minutes long is a good instance!

Map23's secret fight with 5 cyberdemons in a tight circular room is one of the worst RNG check. The other one is map29's finale which might be the most difficult fight in the whole wad. More generally map29 is the last big obstacle and map30 almost feels like a breeze in comparison.

There are so many things I could say about the run. It's funny because when I was running episodes 1 and 2, I said multiple times that I probably wouldn't go for episode 3 which seemed impossible to me... Though here we are! It's actually not that bad when played continuously carrying the BFG all over the maps and of course with a lot of routing and practice.

Next and last step... D2All ?! It's just only a 7 hours run, free demo :)

P.S. : Map30 includes all the 4 easter eggs :)
