Editing E3M6: In The Deal (Army of Darkness TC)

{{Army of Darkness TC}}
{{map|slot=E3M6}}
{{Level stub}}
'''E3M6: In The Deal''' is the sixth map of [[Army of Darkness TC]]. It appears as [[:Category:MAP06|MAP06]] in the [[PWAD]]'s [[Doom II]] conversion. It was designed by [[Stefan Maes]] and uses the [[Adding custom music|music]] track ? by Rick Sparks (Suture).

The design is a modification of standalone [[level]] ''[[Excalibur]]'' released separately by Stefan in 1994. v1.1 was uploaded to the [[idgames archive]] on April 11, 1995 to make ''Army of Darkness TC's'' entry the third revision of this level.

===Essentials===

===Other points of interest===

===Secrets===
# From the start, head south and turn left at the T-junction. At the end is a wall with a skull decoration - shooting it opens it to reveal an [[exploding barrel]], a [[chaingun|Winchester]], a [[box of shotgun shells]], a [[stimpack]], and a [[medikit]]. ('''sector 368''')
# At the start are four small nukage pits. The south-west one is escapable to the west (the wall is marked differently), and it leads to several items including an [[armor]], a [[megaarmor]] (in a secret room to the west of the curved staircase), a [[computer area map]], and a [[rocket launcher|crossbow]]. ('''sector 433''')
# Head up the curved staircase near the blue [[key]] and walk along the ledge to the west and south. At the end, press the wall to the east (it is also possible to press this wall from below). Now head to the south-west corner of the corridor surrounding the main area - the north-east corner is a secret [[door]] leading to two [[cacodemon|floating torsos]], four [[lost soul|ghosts]] (hard [[skill level|skill]] only), a [[BFG9000|catapult]] and [[Energy cell (Doom)|some gunpowder]]. ('''sector 532''')

===Bugs===

100% kills is not possible on this map as there is a floating torso (thing 485) that is too large to reach the [[teleporter]] and so cannot warp in to the main area.
