Shows a faster way to access the main building in Legacy of Rust level E1M2/MAP02, Sanguine Wastes. This involves strafe-running (using a simultaneous combination of Run-forward plus Strafe-sideways) to get on top of a rising pillar outside the building. From there the player can strafe-run again from the pillar to the outer edge of a nearby walkway. Doing this allows the player to bypass the large, dark cavern in the southeast section of the level.

Note that there are floor triggers ('tripwires') between the dark cavern and the main building. These cause the pillars in the blood lake to lower, and reveal steps at the end of the walkway leading from the lake up to the building.

This is a 'no monsters' demo, played keyboard-only at Ultra-Violence Skill.
