About the map:
The opening to the second episode (New Game+) greatly establishes what the player can expect on what's to come; immensely corrupted versions of the environments and places seen previously - from a once peaceful paradise to the very depths of Hell.

Almost immediately, things aren't what they seem. Higher monsters counts and tougher opposition, not to mention the water being replaced with lava and what was once lush flora gives way to deadened trees now reduced to sticks and stumps.

Obviously, this plays out much harder than MAP01, especially with the new yellow key guardian that can easily wipe the floor with you. In terms of the speedrun, I found that simply grabbing the key as quickly as possible whilst attempting to amass health, armor, and weapons quickly beforehand was most viable - sticking around was probably more deadly. Getting the aforementioned guardian to infight with the Hell Knight was a risky strategy, but definitely shaves a few seconds off of the total time.

Aside from that, it was very much manageable, with the final two enemies proving very light work given what came before. Great music choice, too.
