MAP17: Carcerian Canyon Cathedral is the seventeenth map of Hell Revealations. It was designed by Large Cat, who also composed the level's music track, "Ruminations Regarding Reverence". The par time is 8:40.

Description

According to the Hell Revealations infopack:

This is what Hell Revealed 2 looks and feels like to someone who has never played Hell Revealed 2. It’s got lava. It’s got brown and gray stone. It’s got metal (visual and auditory). The only thing it’s missing is archviles, which I forbid myself from using at the beginning (in addition to disallowing teleporters). This was originally destined for the MAP11 slot, after Subterror, hence the cavey starting area for “continuity” and the grand final trek to conclude the episode. Unfortunately, Arsinikk got rekt and had to cope by moving this map to the second episode. The DM arena is pretty thicc, so make sure to spray your plasma as hard as you can.

Walkthrough

Map of Carcerian Canyon Cathedral

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. Veer to the east as you head north in the first cave, going towards the demons. Look south and spot a skull switch tucked in the wall. Shoot it to open the west wall which has an invulnerability (not on Ultra-Violence or higher), a soul sphere, a megaarmor, and energy cell packs. (sector 118)
2. In the first staircase-building area, jump to the north compartment and a wall opens, revealing a megaarmor and boxes of rockets. (sector 113)
3. Open the back wall in Secret #2 and take a lift to get boxes of shotgun shells and a switch. The switch crushes the cacodemons. (sector 183)
4. At the northwest end, lower the west ledge with arachnotrons and ride it up. Go south a bit, then turn east and jump through the glowing lavafall to get an invulnerability. (sector 303)
