Description: Nightmare did indeed prove possible on this map, but I found it quite difficult. It's a very scrappy run, with lots and lots of mistakes, but I still kind of like it. The silliest error was failing to pick up a megasphere at one point, but fortunately it didn't matter at all. Near the end, I decided that I didn't have enough health for the normal route (as in my UV Speed run), so had to improvise. I actually fell off the walkway to the wrong side: I meant to go forwards to the alcove with the soul sphere, but fell backwards by mistake. This actually proved a safer route! I got a bit disorietated shortly before exiting, since I forgot that the route I had taken meant that I didn't need to go through the secret area (with the archie and revenant), but could escape via the door I'd opened and then use the teleporter guarded by the SS dude.
This could go much much faster, but I'm happy just to have reached the exit on NM.
