MAP03, much like MAP01 comes with a primary hazard in the main outdoor area. Instead of a Cyberdemon, you face off against 2 Arachnotrons. As the warning says in the first room, you cannot kill them as they will be replaced when you do. You must either dodge them, hide from them or get slain before they can stop.

Other than this threat, this level isn't too difficult and you can get it done relatively fast.

MAP STATS
==========
Map: 03 - Arachnotron Arrival
Author: Skillsaw
MIDI: Stuart Rynn - Depth Charge
Monsters: 96 (Default)
Secrets: 1

SECRETS
========
1) In the plus shaped room in the Second Half of the level, you will find a Soulsphere on an elevated platform. To lower it, hit the blue panel to reveal some Zombies and an Imp, then hit the wall next to the Skull Switch with an impact weapon to reveal a Revenant. Doing so also lowers the platform to claim the Soulsphere.

TIPS
====
- As the warning in the first room tells you, evade the Arachnotrons. You can use their plasma streams to help dispatch enemies or to cause infighting to setup openings. If an Arachnotron is slain, another one will take it's place. If you must, shoot the Arachnotron to pain chance it if you want to disrupt the weapon. Once you get past the Blue Skull Key Door, you will go through 2 Bear Warps and you will end up telefragging both to shut down the spawners. Because of this, you must have 2 enemies left before you open the door.

- If you want to play it safe, kill enemies in safe zones where Arachnotrons cannot target you. Or put an enemy between you and the Arachnotron so the stream slays it. Or triggers an infight at least.

- Berserk Fists are helpful in killing enemies fast. Just be careful of other enemies while engaging in fisticuffs.

- Save the Rocket Launcher for Mancubi or Revenants. The Shotguns and the Fists can handle everything else.

- When the Second Half of the level is opened, go into the teleporter in the blood pool on that side to be teleported to a Soulsphere. Make it fast cause this platform is in between the 2 Arachnotrons. If you are aiming for fastest time, you will have to avoid taking this Soulsphere and hold out until the Secret.
