* CosmeticAward:CosmeticAward: The 2021 remaster offers the following achievements for this episode:



* DegradedBoss:
** Vores first appear as [[spoiler:a DualBoss at the end]] of the second episode, only reappear in [[spoiler:the secret and final levels]] of Episode 3 and only becomes a common enemy in Episode 4.
** The Shambler fares a little better than the Vore, only becoming common late in Episode 4 and the mission packs. In Hard and Nightmare difficulties you even encounter ''three'' of them as early as the third level of the first episode, the first two one after another.
** The Fiend also appears with boss-like drama the first time it shows up, but becomes a regular enemy later - by Episode 4, it's an extremely common enemy. As little as a few seconds later on 'Hard' or 'Nightmare' skill, though, two more will oh-so-generously make themselves known and teleport in the moment the first one kicks the bucket.



** Dungeon bypassing is actually how you get access to Episode 4's secret level: instead of using the Silver Key to lower the bridge that leads to the exit arcway, jump through the tiny columns that are where the bridge would be put over and head to the arcway on the left... which requires a Silver Key to open.

* MeaningfulName: "Azure Agony" is the final level of the final episode, and with the exception of a small hall, its architecture is nothing but azure walls and the ocassional window, the most common enemy is the blue Spawn and there is only one Key to collect - the Silver Key (which has a somewhat blue-ish look).

* SuspiciousVideoGameGenerosity: Episode 4 has Megahealth packs, Red Armor, Pentagrams of Protection and several QuadDamage in plain sight, instead of hidden in secret areas like in previous episode. [[HarderThanHard There is, of course, a good reason to use them.]]

* OvershadowedByAwesome: Courtesy of this being meant to be the most difficult of the four base game's episodes, monster demographics are different: Ogres and Knights, the most common castle enemies in the earlier episodes, are completely replaced in that role by Fiends and Death Knights, respectively, in the second half of the episode.

!! The episode provides examples of:

* BrutalBonusLevel: [[spoiler:"[=E4M8:=] The Nameless City"]] is extremely difficult, has nearly 95 monsters, and will probably eat up all of your ammo by the time you finish them.
* DegradedBoss:
** Vores first appear as [[spoiler:a DualBoss at the end]] of the second episode, only reappear in [[spoiler:the secret and final levels]] of Episode 3 and only becomes a common enemy in Episode 4.

As little as a few seconds later on 'Hard' or 'Nightmare' skill, though, two more will oh-so-generously make themselves known and teleport in the moment the first one kicks the bucket.
* DungeonBypass:
** Huge sections of multiple levels in Episode 4 can be bypassed in some way or another. Most of those techniques the developers noticed were kept, but a warning message comes up in case the player didn't realize.
** Dungeon bypassing is actually how you get access to Episode 4's secret level: instead of using the Silver Key to lower the bridge that leads to the exit arcway, jump through the tiny columns that are where the bridge would be put over and head to the arcway on the left... which requires a Silver Key to open.
* HealingSpring: There's a [[SuspiciousVideoGameGenerosity very convenient one]] in "[=E4M4:=] The Palace of Hate", one of the hardest levels.
* MeaningfulName: "Azure Agony" is the final level of the final episode, and with the exception of a small hall, its architecture is nothing but azure walls and the ocassional window, the most common enemy is the blue Spawn and there is only one Key to collect - the Silver Key (which has a somewhat blue-ish look).
