FDA - Operation UAC map06 - 'Corrupted Caverns'

With map 6 this mapset is definitely picking up the pace. The traps are nastier and and the arenas more impressive. Now you're getting locked in close quarters with cacos and mancubi and the archvile is introduced (albeit in an fairly painless fight). There's another instance of a scripted event, in this case a revenant killing an imp, during which the monster is invincible which looks silly.

The large lava area is quite impressive and has a few of the tougher enemies such as revenants. That being said it could use more of each enemy type. There's a hotel looking structure with some "rooms" occupied by imps when they all could be. There's two revenants on the top raining rockets down when you could easily have 4-6 up there.

The map culminates with a boss fight with what is essentially the maulotaur from Heretic. His attacks do a fair amount of damage but can be dodged without much effort. Monsters teleport in during the encounter however they are low tier enemies such as imps and lost souls. There's an invulnerability sphere that helps but I feel should be tagged for HMP and lower as without it the fight is straightforward on UV.

I'm glad these maps are ramping up and I'm excited to see where the next three go.
