Description: Third exit in 282 attempts. It still doesn't look too good though: the first demon mucks me about a lot, the imp takes its time getting out of the way, two sergeants block the steps on the way up, and I muck up the switch trick near at the end. Still, lots more stuff can go wrong, and in particular the second demon is kind to me on this rare occasion.

Funny to have a run where the easiest part is pushing past three sergeants and a couple of imps in a narrow corridor. :p The biggest problem is getting the imp to walk up the steps - and to do so quickly and if possible without waking up the demon.

I've included my other two exits (2:01 - first exit after 241 attempts - and 1:57). I also did a 1:41 when not recording. I got the switch trick there; can't remember where I lost time - presumably the second demon obstructed the lift a few times. That one featured a substantially different route - one which, I soon realized, relied on an insane amount of luck: I woke the all-important imp, ran straight back to the secret, and when I returned, lo and behold the steps were clear.

A clean run would be nice here, but it would need more luck than it seems I'm ever going to get.
