Hard Megawads

[UAC guy]

Does anyone know any difficult megawads of good quality(besides sunlust and dark tartarus)?

[Mr Masker]

Personally I'd reccomend Ancient Aliens and Plutonia 2 depending on your definition of difficult.

perhaps this? a wad that is both extremely beautiful yet super lethal.

I'm not sure if your definition of "megawad" includes stuff with less than 30 maps, but I'll link these anyway:

Italo-Doom

Newgothic Movement 1

Newgothic Movement 2

Crazy Doomguy rated HR as 1 and AAliens/AV/Valiant as 2. He's actually crazy.

Doesn't that guy play with TAS features all the time? Seems like his difficulty rankings would be inaccurate in that case, but as a list of hard wads, I think the thread still has some value.

Yes, and I would say HR's difficulty basically comes from the old design of the 90s, so yeah. AA/AV/Val are definitely easier due to more *balanced* resource.

Death in Excess (18 maps)

NoReason Speedmaps 2

Sunder (21 maps)

Flotsam (16 maps. Some maps require quite a bit of platforming.)

Delirium (15 maps. It's pretty recent buy very good, it starts getting really hard around map10.)

Time Of Death's ESP'S (This one's kind of cheating as it is a compilation of already released hard maps from the author)
