MAP07: Counterpoint (Doom 2 the Way id Did)

MAP07: Counterpoint is seventh map of Doom 2 the Way id Did. It was designed by Richard Frei (Tarnsman) in the style of Sandy Petersen and music track "Shawn's Got The Shotgun". The par time is 2:00.

As with Dead Simple the level features Mancubi and Arachnotrons that are necessary to be killed in order to beat the level. The Spider Mastermind is also presents in this level in all skill levels, though it is optional to kill it.

Essentials
Go forth and open the door before you. As you try to enter area with spider mastermind you will be teleported to another place. In that place you can grab the shotgun and rocket launcher along with super shotgun that lie in the western part. It is enough to just kill mancubi to gain access to area with other arachnotrons to kill, but note that you have to destroy all the arachnotrons anyway. You can also cause monsters to infight before all mancubi are dead. The spider mastermind may interfere you to advance to exit, so it should also be eliminated.

Once all the necessary guys are dead, head into blue floored room with spiderdemon and enter a room south of it. Stairs should now be made to rise on them and then press the switch to end the level.
