Description: Another of the undone Icarus NMs. Not too difficult, but some careful planning was needed. It's similar to UV Speed, but I get the plasma gun, and (deliberately) don't obstruct the 30-second bars. Towards the end I open the door beyond the yellow barrier (which I'm about the jump over) so that I'm not a sitting duck after the jump. It's a messy run, with plenty of things going wrong, but that's Nightmare. :)

Note that my route encourages the archie to teleport away to a place where he's not too harmful (as long as you know where he will pop up next). An alternative is to get him to teleport to his left, and pray you telefrag him.

I'm absurdly over-cautious at the end, but I had died there in an earlier run, and wasn't terribly keen for that to happen again.
