- * Hints for this WAD *
-
- Many hours of labour went into this one to make it as challenging
- as possible, not because of the creatures, but because of the maze
- itself. There are four main sections of the Lost Level, and to
- provide assistance for the eternally tormented, I have included a
- major hint for each section. See if you can finish the level
- without cheating, using these hints.
-
- Section 1: Marble Hexagon Room:
-
- Your player starts in this room, but don't stick around long.
- This room connects the other three major sections.
- Move quickly to the next section and deal with this room later.
-
- Section 2: Warehouse:
-
- Not too difficult, but watch your back, and don't miss the secret.
-
- Section 3: Swamp Complex:
-
- A twisted, confusing area... you must hit 6 important switches here
- to acquire the red key.
-
- Section 4: Showdown:
-
- This room is not as hard as it looks, just get the creatures there
- mad at each other, then hide somewhere and watch the fight.
-
- Finally, save often and horde your major firepower for the Showdown.
-
- The Lost Level was also playtested in Cooperative and Deathmatch mode,
- the latter making for one HELL of a manhunt. Have fun with a WAD that
- took many hours to complete. To run the Lost Level, type the following
- in your doom directory:
-
- doom -file lostlevl.wad -episode 2 -skill x
-
- where x is the difficulty level you wish to play at (1-5).
-
- Please mail me comments at my Compuserve address. I love feedback.
-
- Look for my other level: Gladiator of DOOM!!! (DMGLAD.ZIP)
-
- Watch for my next little hell: APOCALYPSE!!! (DMAPOC.ZIP)
-
-
-
- PS: Difficulty levels Medium and Hard have quite a different ending,
- try one before the other for maximum effect. ;)
-
- PPS: Special thanks to the Creators of DEU and BSP, thier free time and
- effort was sacrificed to make an already great game even better.
