Map11: Archers Forest (Prodoomer)

The Archers Forest is one of the most difficult and frustrating maps in Prodoomer due to all the hidden archer knights scattered among the trees where you can't see them but they can see you. Players must take extreme caution advancing through this map, as the archers have nearly 100% accuracy and can kill you instantly. There are several strategies you can use to survive. As of v3 you will acquire a scanner from a wounded soldier. While it won't show the locations of enemies, it will show you all four keys.
 * Before you enter this map, recruit every ally available, which should be everything up to the Sentinel. Then when you reach the platform with the Sniper Rifle, summon every ally into the forest to begin hunting down the archers.
 * Make sure you've purchased the Electric Bow ability for the Crossbow and take advantage of its heat seeking to probe the forest and take out the archers before they can see you.
 * Stay crouched to reduce the chances that you'll be hit. If you hear the repeated "thwack" sound of arrows hitting a surface near you, without your taking damage, then stop moving immediately and search for the source.
 * The Sniper Rifle that you will acquire in this level has an enemy tracking feature in its scope, although it requires direct line of sight to identify enemies.
 * If you get a visual on an enemy, use ballistic weapons like the Sniper Rifle to hit them before they move out into the open.
 * The archers will be stationed and restricted to the perimeters around the larger trees in the forest, which you can identify using your automap.

If you're trying to get the achievement Can't Touch Dis, the easiest way is to come back later when you can wipe out all the archers with an area effect spell. The items are mostly placed on the roads, not between the trees.

Secrets
1. Just as you enter the first tunnel leading from the starting area, check the wall to your left for a secret area.

2. In the staging area north of the forest, where you had to fight off the arch-viles and other enemies, the east corner has a secret door. There's a single enemy guarding the items.

Rings
24 From secret #2 rocket jump onto the ledge to the south and collect the ring.
