[Congestion 1024] MAP22: Prison Escape (UV-Max Demo)

apologies for the delay. i had to touch grass. you know how it is.
anyway we're back to the grind. this map is pretty good apart from its, uh, "questionable" sense of humor. i actually found an exploit in this map, which isn't necessary to beat it, but it's fun so why not show it off. you're supposed to go down to the basement and get a yellow key in a secret, then return to the start to open a door that lets you get a bfg. but actually you can execute a bump grab to get it from the other side of the door. this is the sort of discovery i feel like i should document on doomwiki... but i don't know, i've never really done wiki contributions before. we'll think about it. anyway i wind up using it to prevent getting boxed in on an encounter, but the nastier stuff doesn't come until after you would have been able to obtain it legitimately, like the room stuffed full of revenants. even the two archviles upstairs aren't that bad if you're careful and quick with the lifts. from there, it's through the most vent-like thing doom has to offer, and then through the narrow corridor to the exit. this is almost a great showcase for the rocket launcher but those pillars are definitely anxiety-inducing. oh and there are three archviles at the exit... but their lack of melee attacks and dearth of nearby corpses means you can bully them pretty easily.

Why touch grass in real life when you can in Doom? Anyways, glad your back. I literally don't remember this map at all lmao. Those archviles towards the end on paper look like they will be a problem but they seem pretty easy to mow down. Good Job
