Wad Endings?

I just beat the first wad i downloaded. I forget the real name of it but the file name was darken2.wad in the middle there was a few levels with no monsters...is this normal? The only way i got out of one of the levels was to stand in a lava pit until i got my health down to 10 then it brought me to the next level. Do all wads have the same ending as the original doom 2?

the nomonsters levels were deathmatch maps and no they dont

Darkening 2 included a number of maps designed solely for deathmatch.

The special sector in which you exit if your health is below 10% is the same type as used in the exit room of the original E1M8. Some pwads use this, but it is quite rare. There's nothing ever forcing people to use this sector-type.

Also, map30 doesn't have to include an Icon set-up. It can just have an exit switch, as normal. However, map30s tend not to be made very large and complicated due to the fact that monsters can telefrag, which can be quite annoying if you've been playing for 20 minutes.

But not in Boom compatible source ports. For those only monsters spawned by a boss cube can telefrag.
