Friendly Pain Elemental

About This File

A small experiment level, the first of its kind (as far as I know). In vanilla Doom, there's a limit to 21 lost souls, so by trapping them in a room you can make pain elementals harmless. I set out to make a level that required you to protect a pain elemental and lead it through the level, so that it could fly around an obstacle and open a door or something for you. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to design the level so that it could be led to do anything, so you don't actually have to protect it. The level is still decent without having to do that so I decided to upload it. The pain elemental in the first room makes a good shield.

it's some fun if you try to play with pacifist style and try to get monsters fight eachother. (The unused idea of securing a pain elemental to do some special job sounds interesting though...) 2.5/5

It's not a bad concept...but the pain elemental is pretty much useless and the level is for the most part a lot faster if you don't use it. And beyond that, it's a pretty bland level. 2/5

      I genuinely enjoyed this mod with its level design and music. It was challenging and interesting and it kept me playing a while after beating it to try to find anything. though I would say it was slightly repetitive and overwhelming with enemies at some moments.

      Writing a review for Darkening 2 is tough. It's a beloved megawad, and for good reason. As many other reviewers have said, it is historically a very important project.   It was an important megawad for me personally. I fell in love with the first level in particular. The music, the realistic architecture, so reminiscent of the video games of the 90s... It all left a lasting impression. And it was one of the most beautiful wads I've seen at the time.   But I rarely played anyt

      A competently made map, for sure, but fun? It's way too long and repetitive, with same-y combat & ambush scenarios used again and again, and with way too much enemies, and not that much of a challenge, even for me who isn't exactly fond of "SUPER HARD WAD #9263!!!!11!. You can cut the whole thing in half, and then cut THAT half in half, and it would be a better map. Is it bad? No, just a little bit above average, mostly because it drags a bit too long.

      Generally good map design, but the difficulty as is the case with pwads tends to be uneven even on HMP, especially when you mix them with what slaughtermaps tend to be (monster spam). Too many parts where, after pressing a switch, you'll spend some time killing enemies only to realise the map maker tried to get cute and spawned a bunch of hidden archviles somewhere to start reviving everyone while you were busy wasting ammo. This is especially unfun in parts with very little cover where you'll b

      I like the part where I pay for the numerous murders I committed by getting beaten up by either a Mancubus or an Arachnotron, it changed my outlook on Monster Priority. Thank you "Problematic" Revenant #7, I have yet to find a way to repay him.
