The Ancient Node of Time

Map layout of The Ancient Node of Time, as visualized in the Wolf3D Data Compiler

The Ancient Node of Time is the seventh level (slot six) of Catacomb Apocalypse (1993). This level features ancient brick walls and a population of Wizards. There are also Blue Demons trapped behind force fields, similar to the The Demon Hold level in Catacomb Armageddon. The blue key must be collected and taken back through the time gate to the hub level The Axis of the Time Lords. There the blue key serves to open the Fourth Door.

^{"This map has an "ancient" theme that looks similar to some levels of the previous two Catacomb games. The enemies here are more gremlins and blue demons. There's one additional red key here. (And the electric barriers don't really fit the theme!)"
