It's one of the hardest LTK levels to complete even with a safer strat and I'd say it's the hardest LTK level to speedrun on because of all the risks you have to take and the knowledge and practise required to learn exactly where all the guards are going to be which can be completely different depending on how quick you are during the level.

It requires a very underplayed strat that has very little margin for error which takes loads of practise and patience to complete. I'm planning to try for 0:35 sometime now that I'm using control style [[1.2]] and have an [[NTSC]] console.

3. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2Q8RI-vQBc Caverns DLTK 8:54] (got this twice) - This is easily the DLTK level I've spent longest on. The level is not as difficult to complete as people think because once you're past the first room then the rest isn't that hard if you use a cautious strat but it does get very difficult when you're speedrunning and having to take lots of chances. I remember struggling a bit to beat the 00A 9:30 cheat target time back in 1999 so it was great to beat that on the DLTK setting.

2. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gy85PlckrW0 Train DLTK 29:00] - This was a level that I thought would never be done. Although it's only a mediocre time because of the cautious strat I used, it's still my second best PR because of the difficulty of the level and being the first proven player to complete it makes it more special. It requires so much practise and concentration because one tiny mistake on the whole level and you're almost certainly dead every time. Also the lack of good hiding places, a few places where you have no choice but to take big risks, random guard positions, unpredictable guards, ammo shortage and nerves unlike anything I've experienced on any other level all add to the difficulty. It took me around 80-85 hours to complete. A more aggressive strat could get around 20 minutes but I don't know if I'd ever want to go for lower.
