E5M8: Field of Judgement is the eighth and final level in The Stagnant Demesne episode of Heretic Shadow of the Serpent Riders. As in Hell's Maw, the player is faced with a group of Maulotaurs as a boss.
[edit] Strategy
[edit] Walkthrough
The player starts in a spider-shaped enclosure containing all the weapons minus the Firemace, and lots of ammo. Don't get the Silver Shield yet, since there is an Enchanted Shield shortly after. Once you've collected the weapons and as much ammo as you can carry, activate the Wings of Wrath (located on the centre trident of Neptune) and fly over the trident to lower the outer arena. Run and collect the Enchanted Shield and Tome of Power, and begin circle strafing the Maulotaurs while firing with a weapon of your choice with the intent to gather the Maulotaurs together. Once they're in a tightly packed group, an effective strategy is to activate the Ring of Invincibility and Tome of Power simultaneously, and use the Phoenix Rod's flamethrower at point blank range for maximum damage (hold down the fire button the whole time to conserve ammo). Once the Invincibility expires most of the Maulotaurs should be badly hurt, if not dead. Finish them off by whatever means necessary.
Once the final Maulotaur is destroyed, the eight posts at the corners of the 'legs' will lower. Choose any one to finish the level (and the game).
