Update: Tatsurd-cacocaco recently took back this record with a time of 1m39.
Well there we go, a very nice map from episode 3! There's a bit of berserk punching, but not too much, since there's a lot of cells and rockets to use around. In this run I mostly just followed Tatsurd's route, tried to do the start a bit faster, and to have as much clean movement as possible. This was quite difficult however, because the map is full of spiked edges and tight alcoves with weird shapes. There's almost no straight passages to run, everything's very diagonal / circular. In truth, this is because the map is shaped like a hand (if you haven't before - make sure you open the map and take a look at it).
I got pretty lucky in this run with in-fighting, monster movement, and even with the berserk damage. At the middle of the run, after killing the second cacodemon, my health got very low, and I was in a high risk of dying. After that however, everything went pretty smoothly, and after getting the soulsphere, death is very unlikely. Finally at the end, after the blue door, I tried to use the last rocket as a boost to the exit, but that went VERY wrong. Nearly killed myself and lost a bit of time there. Not sure if that was a good idea in the first place. Anyway, without that mistake and some more luck with monster movement (especially with the lost souls), I believe that a time of 1m40 should be quite feasible with this route.
