Yay!  Finally got a non-desynching demo for this great level.

It's a pretty damned tough level.  Toughest one I've done in a few weeks easily.

Beginning starts out challenging.  Must worry about 2 archies...with only 100% health.  Take cover as needed and use the SSG to kill them.  Other than them, the other enemies should pose no threat.  Everything outside by the megaarmor should be dealt with too.

After that, it stays difficult throughout the level.  Getting the BFG immediately is critical to a good time here.  Just don't kill the archie by the 1st secret area.  You'll need it to blast you into the secret room, then back out again once you come back after getting the BFG.  There's a Soulsphere in the secret room, so low health won't be a big problem.

Oh, and when you get the BFG, but before you take the teleporter, go up to the level above the teleporter.  Should be many bull demons, a couple CG'ers and mancos, plus some arachs.  Moving all the way north, going towards the Soulsphere should trigger a big wave of cacos and PEs.  Now bolt to the teleporter.  If you're lucky, the PEs will begin fighting with the other enemies.  Should that happen, the lost soul limit is easily reached (Assuming the port of your choosing has a limit on the # of lost souls that can be on the map at once) and makes a few more PEs later in the level much easier to deal with.

Other than that, just take it easy and this level will be finished.

All I really wanted was to get an exit, so I'm happy with the time.  I took it slow in a few tough spots, so the time should be easily improvable.

There are a couple mishaps, such as trying to get one baron to hit a cybie, which took much longer than usual.  The RJ I do late in the level so I can reach an archie and the Megasphere it guards took 3 tries to get onto the platform with the flaming barrels correctly.  I even had to run for some health+armor between the 2nd and 3rd attempts too.

Time-wise, not sure of a good/great time for this level.  Probably under 35 minutes.  I think that's possible at least.
