Cauldron is a community-made King of the Hill map released during the Scream Fortress 2018 update. It is a Halloween version of the custom map Bagel.
Cauldron was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
Features
The point on this map features a large cauldron. When the point is captured, the cauldron erupts, changes flame color to the controlling team, and triggers a random effect. The active effect is indicated by an icon displayed on the HUD, which flashes when the effect is about to end. These effects include:
- Portals to the Underworld opening up.
- A group of Skeletons spawning.
- Fireballs raining out of the cauldron.
- Every player being granted Crits.
Like several other Halloween maps, Cauldron has its own Underworld. After escaping it, players are granted temporary Invulnerability and will receive full health.
Locations
Cauldron is a map with many buildings that lead to the center point. Many areas of the map provide well cover such as the middle cauldron, or the pumpkins placed throughout.
- Spawn areas: The areas outside of both spawns are very wide and open. The spawns lead to three doors which takes the player through the building and to point. Each door will take the player to a unique place.
- RED Spawn: The wide and open area found outside of RED spawn.
- BLU Spawn: Similar to RED spawn, this is the wide and open area outside of BLU spawn.
- Mid / Point: In the middle of the center-most area, you can find Cauldron's unique point. The point is located under a cauldron, which will start to boil once the point is captured. The cauldron will also burst open giving an effect of a spell to the team who captured. The cauldron can also block fire from enemies providing a good defense when attempting a capture.
- Battlements: The battlements are the buildings located between the spawns and capture point on both sides. These buildings link to the other team's side and also the point.
- Side Building: Opposite to the tracks / ramps, the side building is an area that is considered part of the battlements. Taking this path will lead directly to the High Ground, which players can get a full view of the point and surrounding area.
- Tracks / Ramp: This is the area on both sides where a ramp with two sets of tracks can be found. Each set of tracks can be found when leaving and going right from the spawn. The tracks lead on a path towards the point.
- Launch Pad: When start to go downwards on the tracks, head left and you'll find the launch pad. This area is met with a smokey fire and will boost the player up when stepped on. Taking the launch pad leads the player to the center area going directly towards point.
- High Ground: When looking from point, the high ground is seen on the right side. The high ground is on both teams' sides and has direct view of the complete enemy team's side and point.
- Valley: The Valley is the low ground between the high rising buildings of the Battlements and the main building leading back to spawn. This area is wide and open which has little cover leads up a pathway to point. There is also a stair pathway which goes up to the Battlements.
- Underworld: The Underworld is an area only accessible by the cauldron on the point. When the cauldron erupts, the portal opens and will teleport the player. Going to the Underworld, players will be fully healed and have to jump across platforms and moving cauldrons to make it to the portal back, before the poisonous gas kill them. The area surrounding is seen as a swamp of green which will kill the player if jumped in to. Once players take the other portal back, they will receive effect buffs for a short period of time.
