Antaresian Reliquary is an nine-level PWAD for Doom II requiring a Boom-compatible source port, created by Seongbae Park (antares031). The WAD is a compilation of maps the author designed for various community projects across four years up to 2020, with the addition of minor tweaks to all maps and two new levels to prevent entry to regular IWAD levels.
Similar to Struggle - Antaresian Legacy, the WAD features new weapons and monsters replacement via DeHackEd. It also has some enemies from Struggle. The first release candidate of the WAD came out on May 17, 2020 and uploaded to /idgames archive on June 6, 2020. It received a Cacoward that same year. The weapon mod made for the WAD was released separately on May 23, 2020.
