I used to know how to play the intro, but doubt I could do it any justice at the moment.
You have to be super light with your right hand and use the minimum tip, actually a thicker pick does help with this song (Eric used Jazz 3s IIRC). There's a good shot of his right hand at 2:12 in the video @robinbowes posted
Also when hybrid picking you don't need to cause the string to slap, it's no different to finger picking an acoustic. Some people pull up too much when hybrid picking, which will slow you down.
knock that one out with just a bit of practice and you're ready for "through the fire and flames"
Although, yes, somewhat beyond my capabilities as well
I've never had the whole thing together.
I haven't played it in about 15 years at least.

Intro is still by far the toughest part.
I've got at least two copies of that issue, with the disc.
I've dabbled with two transcriptions of the piece aeons ago, one from a Spanish-language guitar mag, and one in an official book I borrowed from a library somewhere. It was always clear that pulling it all off convincingly was going to mean a lot of work.
