This level occupies the map slot MAP26. For other maps which occupy this slot, see Category:MAP26.

MAP26: Excoriation is the twenty-sixth map of Requiem. It was designed by Adam Windsor, and uses the music track "The Rhythm of Carnage" by David Shaw. It is the smallest and shortest level in the megawad.

Description

According to both the text file and the Requiem info pack:

A nightmare of frantic combat. You remember violent flashes of naked fear ... the red-hot barrels of your shotgun burning your hands ... you remember laughing in the carnage.

Walkthrough

Map of Excoriation
Letters in italics refer to marked spots on the map. Sector, thing, and linedef numbers in boldface are secrets which count toward the end-of-level tally.

Essentials

In this very small map, you just need to get the red skull key sitting in the northeast corner of the map, and then open the red door to the west to reach the exit. There are plenty of monsters present though.

Other points of interest

Secrets

  1. In the room immediately following the first door, there is a lion face in the northwest corner. Push it to find security armor. (sector 9)

Technical information

Inspiration and development

This level was originally meant to be MAP27 of the sixth part of Demonfear, Demonfear 6: The Heart, which was intended to come out in 1996 but was never released. Windsor would eventually create an entirely different "Demonfear 6" in 1999, and he compiled the whole series into one megawad a year later.

This level was intended to be MAP25: Chaos Zone. However, the levels were switched around during compilation and the level titles were not swapped with them.[1]

  1. Capellan: Useless Trivia Factoid: maps 25 and 26 in Requiem are actually the wrong way around. What ended up as map25 "Chaos Zone" was actually intended to be map26 "Excoriation", and vice versa. (The thread where Adam blathers about wads at Doomworld. 2013-04-09. Retrieved 2013-04-10.)
