At the Cacowards in 2023, What Lies Beneath was selected as one of the runners-up.
Content[edit]
The mod uses a DeHackEd patch and a DECORATE lump to create custom monsters and decorations. One of the decorations is called explosive spore and acts the same as the exploding barrel. Custom PLAYPAL, COLORMAP, UMAPINFO, and ZMAPINFO lumps are also included.
Custom monsters[edit]
- Evil wizard
- Has 3500 hit points and is immune to blast damage; he is encountered as an enemy during the final fight of the PWAD and has three ranged attacks, chosen at random: a homing exploding fireball that does 20 damage plus 128 blast damage; a string of small, rapid-fire projectiles that each do 10 damage fired in a wide arc; and a spread of five magic exploding hammers that each do six damage plus 96 blast damage and can instantly change direction once to home in on the target. In addition, he generates blast damage centering on himself with a radius of 128 map units as his melee attack. He uses recolored sprites of the dark bishop from Hexen.
- Evil book
- The final boss of the PWAD; it has 500 hit points but no attacks and a 100 percent pain chance.
