* Level Details *
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 1 - Castle Entry
This is based on level 1 of Cphobos. If you've played it in Doom or Doom 2,
not much difference here. This level may seem tough to get started, there
are 4 towers, 4 doors that need opening, and 4 switches. One switch is in
a hidden room. Hint: There is a way to get the Undead Warrior to hack
himself to death with his own axe.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 2 - Sorcerer's Quarters
Part of this area seems to have been washed away. Warning: There is the
possibility that some players may find themselves trapped in an area. But,
there are also a few areas that some players might think they're trapped
when there is in fact a way out. Either way, don't waste your Wings of
Wrath and I've even dropped in a Chaos Device for use as a last resort.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 3 - Fire and Ice
Another big level. If you want the main door of this castle to raise all
the way up, you may have to hit the up button twice. Don't raise it too
many times or you may never get it back down.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 4 - Arena
This is one of my favorite levels from Castle Phobos, it was my third
attempt at making levels and I thought it deserved another look. I've moved
the level end location for a double finale.

By Darman Macray · PostedThese levels are short, sweet, and pack a lot of punch. Complete with a humorous end-text-screen containing a healthy dose of silly shock-humor, this a masterful triumph of Heretic map-making, and most certainly a must-play wad.
By Walter confetti · PostedA really frantic and fun DM map with pretty neat stuff like invisible pillar in the middle of the arena, doesn't have anything to do with the title but the level can become a BFG spamming fest soon, especially with bots. Less fun in SP but the arch-ville+bunch of nazi combo is a nice feat.
By Fireseth · PostedOnly six enemies (played on UV) and no working exit. Other than that, it is a pretty detailed map for 1995. I enjoyed the general design and the poisonous vats of acid. Very cool, but not practical for good gameplay. EDIT: Just discovered this is a ideally a DM wad… haha, for that purpose, it seems good. My original rating was 2/5, will change it now.
By CravenCoyote · PostedLots of traps and monster closets. Some switches are activated by shooting but there's nothing to really tell you about this because they look the same as other switches. Texturing is good and enemy placement proved rather difficult at times. There aren't may health pickups on UV so it was a fight to get through.
By costadevale · PostedIt's pretty good for 1994. If you don't mind having no health items at all (except in a few maps) and the outrageous amounts of cyberdemons per map, you should give it a try. It's pretty challenging and I like it. E2M3 is a bit 'eh...' though.
