Belial's Bad Brain is a single-level PWAD for Doom II meant for limit removing source ports. It was designed by Alexander S. (Eternal) and uses the music track "Somewhere Over the Horizon" by Mark Klem, originally from Requiem.

The second of Eternal's slaughter maps, Belial's Bad Brain originated as a four-hour speedmapping submission to a contest held on Doom Power, and was later modified and greatly expanded for its standalone release.

Secrets

1. Lower the southwest column at the start to get an invulnerability. (sector 50)
2. After you get the red key, return to the hub and enter the northeast compartment. Open the satyr face to find a megaarmor. (sector 164)
3. Climb the steps at the northwest end up to a door. Open it and go to the east alcove, opening the wall there to get a megasphere. (sector 246)
4. At the southwest end, head towards the steps and use the wall south of them to find an invulnerability. (sector 1122)
