I always thought this map was very difficult but now it's actually quite easy (or maybe I just got lucky on the Cyberdemons) and I've beaten it on my 3rd try. Shooting rockets into the eyes of the boss can be pretty tricky though, because the weak spot is small and most rockets won't fly inside, and you have to hope that you won't get pushed off the pillars by any of the monsters.
In my opinion, if you grab the Invisiblity sphere in the secret the map gets harder because you can't tell which direction the rocket's of the Cybers will fly.



I played this with 2 little changes which make it a bit harder. The first one's the enhanced look of the weapons, projectiles and animations of enemies, which comes from the wad Bdoom47. It makes the game look smoother, changes some of the sound effects but, unfortunately, also changes some of the game physics, for example:
-Revenant rockets fly in smaller curves, making it harder to avoid them
-Spidermastermind shoots like 3-times as fast as normally
-when you shoot with the BFG, the screen shakes a bit
+the Berserk fist seems much stronger than before

The 2nd change comes from the wad aod, which stands for "Angel of Death". It replaces Hellknights and Barons with monsters called just the same, Angels of Death. These guys are very dangerous, they have about the same HP as Barons but their firepower is insane. When they shoot at you, many little bullet projectiles will be shot out, they don't deal much damage but the bad thing is they can bounce off walls and hit you multiple times. They can also throw some kind of bomb at you which also releases these bullets.
Oh yeah, these monsters come from the mod called "Doom X" made by the user Melvinflynt.
