[IMPORTANT:
For newer source-ports use cp19.deh instead of
cphobos3.deh. Run it in this way:
mysourceport.exe -file cphobos3.wad -deh cp19.deh
You don't have to use setupcp.exe, except you
want to play with doom v. 1.666.
Enjoy the game!]

Music Author : Ross A. Warren
Description : A nine level episode where the theme is set
in a castle environment that is meant to be
a challenge.
Included is new fantastic music to keep you going.
The music is pure pleasure for those who have
a General-Midi music device. There are new
monsters: A Seargent that looks similar to the
player for multi-player confusion, Death's Shadow
replacing the imps. You will find that the levels
get increasingly more challenging to level 5 and
eases off on levels 6 and 7 and becomes hard again
on level 8. Level 9 is only tough if you insist
on destroying every demon. Remember, this level
is built so that you will never become trapped.
Every room that has an entrance, has an exit!
(Note: as a challenge, I mean without using cheat
codes!)

DragonRook Presents: Castle Phobos v3.1
9 levels of destructive fun!
Created & Designed David G Shrock
Music by Ross A Warren
New Graphics by David G Shrock
New Sounds by David G Shrock
Additional Designs by Sean Fugate
Testing by David G Shrock and Sean Fugate
** Notice to players familiar with version 2 **
The secret level is no longer secret, but is now placed as
level 6.
New music is on levels 1,2,3,5. Version 3.2 will have new music for all 9
THE STORY:
Your wandering around the martian moon landscape when you stumble
across an odd structure built into the side of a mountain. A closer
look reveals the entrance of a castle with two watch towers.
"What in Hell is this?" you ask yourself. It would appear as if
some architect had too much time on his hands. Anyway, it looks
quiet now, maybe too quiet. A gut feeling rumbles in your stomach
that something evil could be going down inside this mountain.
The feeling of death crosses your mind like a dark shadow, you know
all too well that your buddies disappeared in the area. Maybe here.
BETTER CHECK IT OUT!

****************************************************************
Levels in Detail
****************************************************************
LEVEL 1: Castle Entry E2M1
The main entrance to this castle seems to lead inside a
mountain. What could lay on the inside? Better figure
out how to get in!
Date Completed : May 10, 1994
* Notes *
You must find two secret rooms in order to exit which are revealed in
the first demo. Also, if you are having trouble getting into the
castle, just watch the first half of the first demo. The main idea
here is to use weapons effectively OR YOU WILL RUN OUT!
There aren't too many monsters, but it can be tough without practice.
Most of you will notice a slowdown when entering the church. Most of
reason is because of hard disk access time. Best results can be attained
systems having 8 megabytes of RAM or more and a disk cache.
Time for 100% kills/100% secret: 17 minutes on the DOOM clock.
Your Challenge: There are 2 big guns here, see if you can get both!
Additional Credits:
Sean Fugate: Green Stone Room after 4 gates, South Towers.
Music: "Castle Phobos Theme"
=====================================================================
LEVEL 2: Storage E2M2
What is this warehouse doing in a castle? It looks like
stolen UAC supplies that someone has hidden! Perhaps
something truly evil is happening within this castle?
Date Completed : May 18, 1994
* Notes *
A word of warning to multi-player gamers: Becareful,
because the blue key may become hard to get if all players die too
many times, but it IS still possible.
There is a Secret Door in the Nuke-Hall, straight ahead.
If you get stuck in the pit with the two Demons and two Cacodemons,
there is an exit in the south-west corner.
Time for 100% kills/100% secret: 15 minutes.
Your Challenge: Get both Blue Spheres!
Music: "The Rising Death's Shadow"
===================================================================
LEVEL 3: ARENA! E2M3
Back to that mideivel crap again!
On the other side of the mountain lies an arena built within a
canyon. This could be someone's twisted idea of entertainment! ;)
Date Completed : May 27, 1994
* Notes *
This one is my favorite level and it is a big one! Many Secrets!
Many Monsters! The size of this level will cause slower PCs to
produce a slower than normal game, but it will speed up greatly
half way through the level once you have destroyed most of the
enemies.
Time for 100% kills/100% secret: 23 minutes.
Your Challenge: Find at least 90% of the secret rooms.
Music: "Demon Horde"
========================================================================
LEVEL 4: Cathedral E2M4
This level looks dark and creepy! It must be one large
underground dungeon! Better be careful! Where are these
monsters coming from, anyway?
Date Completed : June 7, 1994
* Notes *
I must give credit to my freind, Sean, for the starting position of
players 2 and 3. It's up to you, Player 1, to get them out!
I hope you found your weapons, 'cause you are not going to find any here!
This one is a tough level, try to save only at the start and play
the level straight through. It is more exciting this way.
There is a room that you can not enter in a one player game. Don't
worry though, there is nothing in there during a single player game,
but you better get in there if your playing multiplayer!
Time for 100% kills/100% secret: 18 minutes
Your Challenge: Save only at the beginning and play all the way through.
=====================================================================
Level 5: Mansion of DOOM E2M5
All hope of survival seems to be drained. Is there a light
at the end of this tunnel? What evil creature is behind all
this? Well, let's get going we're half way there!
Date completed: July 9, 1994
* Notes *
This level was created so that a player can finish even if
starting with no weapons as the third demo demonstrates.
(It was a fun battle!) You will have an easier time if you
have the weapons collected from the earlier levels.
Time for 100% kills/100% Secret: 18 minutes.
Your Big Challenge: See if you can destroy ALL monsters by
starting out with just a pistol! Enter this to try:
Start Castle Phobos and enter the cheat: idclev 2 5
This will warp you to this level and start you off.
Music: "Hell's Bells of Castle Phobos"
=====================================================================
Level 6: Secret Area! E2M9
There doesn't seem to be too many monsters here. Good, a
rest! Better collect more ammo! Is this a place that we
passed up before?
Date completed: July 5, 1994
Time for 100% kills/100% secret: 13 minutes.
Your Challenge: Destroy the big boss.
Music: "Hell's Bells"
======================================================================
Level 7: Nuke Maze E2M6
Short level with only the purpose of wasting your ammo.
Don't get lost! Don't let the title get to you though,
this is a very \small level, not hard to get around.
Date completed: August 18, 1994
Time for 100% kills/100% secret: 13 minutes.
Your Challenge:
======================================================================
Level 8: Five Towers E2M7
Just what we needed! More castle towers! Hey, these look
a little big. So, how does that gate to the east open?
Date completed: August 17, 1994
Time for 100% kills/100% secret: 16 minutes.
Your Challenge: Get the BFG 9000! (I thought about not including
this weapon, because I don't like it. But, why not?)
======================================================================
Level 9: The Great Hall E2M8
This Hall shows off a few of the greatest warriors in their
best moments. Maybe you will top them and attain greatness!
What is at the end of this Great Hall? Time to find out who
is behind all this chaos!
Date completed: August 18, 1994
Time to finish: 7 minutes.
You know what to do! Don't worry, there is more than enough ammo
laying around! (This level can be won by just starting with
only that stinking pistol, too!)

*Please note the the music was written specifically for a
wave table synthesizer and not an FM synthesizer such as
Sound Blaster, Adlib, or compatibles. Ross and I have
listened to the music over an FM synthesizer, and we think
is sounds quite poor. However, we also think that all FM
synthesized music sounds bad! If you are thinking on
upgrading to a wave table synthesizer, you might try listening
to the audio portion of DragonRook CD where this music is featured
in full CD quality stereo recorded from a Roland Sound Canvas.
