Artica 4 is a single-level PWAD for Doom II and the MBF source port that was released in February 1999. It was created by Mike Watson (Cyb) as the fourth entry in his Artica mini-series, and uses the music track "Avalanche" by Mark Klem.

Artica 4 includes a modification that replaces the BFG9000 with a Demon Egg, allowing the player to throw his own miniature demons against enemies.

Map of Artica 4

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.

Secrets

1. Flip the switch on the west wall near the red keycard, then return to starting corridor. Near the door will be an open room with a box of ammo and a box of shotgun shells. (sector 299)
2. In the red area west of the yellow skull key with the demon eggs, head to the south wall and use it to reach a secret room with a WinZip icon and a backpack. This area counts as two secrets. (sector 293)
3. See Secret #2. (sector 292)
4. Shoot the WinZip icon in the previous two secrets (it functions like a Commander Keen) to open up two corridors, both of which have shotgun shells and count as two secrets. (sector 297)
5. See Secret #4. (sector 295)
6. In the blue skull key room, go through the east wall to find a demon egg. This area counts as two secrets. (sector 314)
7. See Secret #6. (sector 315)
