Doom 2: Sunder - Map 10: "The Hag's Finger" (UV Max) in

100% Ultra Violence run of Sunder - Map10 "The Hag's Finger".

One of my favorite Sunder maps and a milestone for me to UV max it. It's such a cool level with a very unique gimmick: you fight your way arena after arena clockwise around and up that gigantic demonic tower. Every fight feels unique in itself and the whole map will test your patience, spirit, endurance and combat tactics. I don't know what exactly insane_gazebo changed in this version but I had the feeling this map is a bit easier than in old Sunder. Maybe he placed some extra cells and rocket stashes on top of the already existing ones here and there or something.

I wanted this run to be sub 40 minutes at least but I always take my sweetest time for those damn platforming sections which are extra horrible when playing with shorttics.

I died 6 times while trying to record the demo. One time I fell off the very last platforming section in which you can't teleport back. Such a stupid death. Two deaths happened during the final fight because RNG wasn't in my favor - I ate one direct cyberdemon infighting rocket at low health right when I peeked around the corner and the other death was one very unlucky archvile zap when the infighting monster died and the vile targeted me instead. The other three deaths happened in the revenant / hell knight area. One time that cyberdemon completely blocked me off and killed me after hitting the switch, the other two times I ate too many revenant missiles during the huge wave out of carelessness.

Overall the fights aren't difficult when you plan every encounter beforehand. Imo the most dangerous ones are the archvile / revenant horde right after the huge open pain elemental area, the huge revenant wave in the tunnel and the very final fight which can be a bit RNG dependant but it's alright if you walk around the corners carefully.

I wanted to backtrack to the stairs and grab the supercharge that I left there but the door was already closed lol. Didn't waste too much megaarmor luckily.

Crazy drop down to 12% during the revenant / archvile fight, after the pain elemental area. Got my heart racing. It's actually ridiculous surviving that.

At some point during the run my doorbell rang so I stood in a corner for a few seconds. Best timing possible.

The Hag's Finger comes with a Bobby Prince midi called "Sneaky Snake" which was originally composed for Duke Nukem 3D.
