Artifact: Land of Cursed is a single-level PWAD for Doom II and the GZDoom source port that was released in March 2024. It was designed by GranitMaster and uses "Falcon", "Bright Crucible", "Darkmere", "Wastelands", "Sacred Grove", and "Unused Song 2" from the Hexen soundtrack and "Marek" and "Arpo" from the Heretic soundtrack by Kevin Schilder as its soundtrack.

Artifact: Land of Cursed was originally submitted to the ENDOOM Mapping Contest 2024 and was awarded with third place in the Modern group.

Secrets[edit]

  1. In the small library that has the nailgun, go to the south of two alcoves on the west side and use a book on the right side of this shelf. Leave the library and head back to before the blue door. The bars to the megaarmor have now lowered, allowing you to get it. (sector 908)
  2. Once you enter the Palace of Doomed, enter the main hall and enter the small room to the west which has the chessboard. Use the face to the north to get the red rune. (sector 956)
  3. In the morgue at the southeast end of the palace, go to the northeast coffin and use the wall behind it to find sun shards, shotgun shells, a medikit, and a rocket. (sector 1385)
