Re: Ranking the DOOM (1993) Levels (and Bosses!) from Worst to Best

1:37  Thy Flesh Consumed is my favorite Doom Episode.  It has some of the best maps, although the difficulty is higher.  It is sort of a middle ground between Doom and Doom II.  I love it.

I am able to play the original three episodes on Ultraviolent with no problems.  However, Thy Flesh Consumed is very difficult on Ultraviolent.  Nevertheless, I can get through it.

Against Thee Wickedly, E4M6 is my favorite map in Doom 1 and 2.  It is big and complicated, but follows a logical progression.

Halls of the Damned is maybe my least favorite map in Doom.  Maps with confusing mazes, especially dark confusing mazes, I find frustrating.  There are ambushes everywhere, and that seems to be the only point of the map, and you have to memorize all the ambushes to get through it.

It is possible to kill the Spider Mastermind with just a couple of BFG shots.  You can finish the map in seconds.

I discovered a way to beat the Cyberdemon with hardly any effort.  It involves shooting him with rockets from across the middle section. You stand just outside one room, fire through the doorway over the middle post, and hit the Cyberdemon in the opposite room.  Your shots pass through three doorways.  His rockets hit the metal post in the middle, so you are mostly safe.  You may have to kill a few Lost Souls at the beginning.
