Stephen's dickish tendency for traps appears here, echoing Operation: Lightning's MAP04 ("Disaster Area") and its numerous collapsing walkways. Thankfully, you finally get an ethereal crossbow in one of the caves running off the ravine. The player has to contend with golem and gargoyle obstacles on the initial approach, the wind trying to push you into the gorge, and entrenched undead lobbing axes opposite whichever side you're on. The second half of the level is a very long canyon crawl down one side and back the other. As long as you don't get mobbed, that is. Making any sort of headway involves a significant time investment, though you can use some of the spread-out time bombs to quickly thin out the mummies.
The various tiny buildings are also staffed with skeletons so that you are subject to erratic ethereal axes. a whole horde of golems and mixed undead warriors. The pressure is on from the first shot as you're stuck with the wand vs. The first is a very small village with a watchtower-like structure. From what I can see here, it turns out that it's pretty much the exact same thing as Fragport, just with a much slower pace. I was wondering what Clark's take on Heretic would look like. I don't know what if anything was standing in the way of Stephen doing voodoo doll scripting in the episode it certainly seems like something his particular genius would have implemented.īy Stephen Clark aka "The Ultimate DooMer" There is a third aspect to the manikins that comes up rarely but will require you to push them around with your staff. I'd like to think that this particular mechanic was inspired by Duke3D's shrink ray puzzles. One particular segment in "The Dark Tower" (E5M8) sends you on a clucking race past monsters, including a maulotaur, and through a miniature maze. Or, using the slower fall rate, coast across a considerable distance. Why, yes, you COULD make it under that gap if you were a chicken. The manikins are ubiquitous, but in E5M7 you are forced to confront the totality of their secret purpose and realize just why the author has been leaving so many Morph Ova spread around the levels. That's how they're initially used, standing blankly as hazards that cause you to question exactly how you're dodging projectiles or launching your own attacks.
TXT talks about "manikins", what the community colloquially refers to as voodoo dolls.

Stephen is relatively upfront about Shadowcaster's other gameplay element, though its full implication isn't immediately obvious.
