XD

Anyways, more screenies:
the main boss-

bots added within this room-

modified robot stats (note the seeker firing the omega cannon as its secondary weapon)-

more cave detailing-

this is not the main boss-


One last thing to do is to add other objects

[Matthew]

Ebil-looking boss is ebil. KILL IT WITH FIAH!

Nice caves.

Looks awesome!

Only a Red Fatty Boss?  Seriously?

Only a Red Fatty Boss?  Seriously?

Alright, I'll change it to the Alien 1 Boss

even though, this is a standard D2 level

[Kaiaatzl]

I meant that the red fatty is the easiest boss in the game... second easiest is Alien 1 (at least for me he is).

[Sapphirus]

and I modified the stats of the Alien 1 Boss. to have more HP and a Player Smart Missile rather than a robot Mercury Missile.

When playing in Trainee, you can take out Red Fatty with two megas. I remember discovering this when I first played against that boss, and happened to have two megas, which, the moment he appeared, I quickly lobbed in his general direction. Fight was over in a matter of moments.

He gets harder and stronger on higher difficulties, but he is still pretty easy, assuming you get the first shot.

[Kaiaatzl]

I usually can't play on Hotshot, but I was easily able to take him out with only Helix and missiles on that difficulty.  (I was able to do that with the Vertigo level 7 boss too... it was actually Sapphire Wolf who gave me the idea to try that, come to think of it).

The level is now complete

Downloaded.

My computer can't play midi music in games... is there any D2 Redbook song you would reccomend for this level?  Otherwise I'll go with Are You Descent? or Flame Core from Sonic 2006.

Stuck at the yellow key... can't figure out how to open the secret doors.

You've given me some ideas for my lava cavern level (for Avera Desert).

EDIT: After a long and epic boss battle... the boss won .
I'd rate this level 10/10.  Awesome job.
