Map Overview
Eyeaduct overview.png

Eyeaduct is a King of the Hill map, released as part of the Scream Fortress Very Scary Halloween Special on October 27, 2011. It is a "haunted" version of Viaduct.

Similar to the previous year's halloween event map, Mann Manor, Eyeaduct has spawning prizes, pumpkin bombs, and a boss. It also includes the haunting ghosts of 2009's Halloween event map, Harvest event.

Monoculus haunts this map much the same way that Horseless Headless Horsemann haunts Mann Manor.

Eyeaduct features an Underworld section, which is only reachable through portals that are created when Monoculus teleports or is killed. When Monoculus teleports, he leaves behind a purple portal. If the player gets close enough to the portal, he/she is transported to a section of the Underworld. The player will spawn on an island taking continuous periodic damage. At the end of the main path is a white portal back into the map. Stepping into the white portal instantly teleports the player back into the main map, and grants a health buff with crits for a limited time. When Monoculus is killed, he leaves behind a red portal. If the player enters this portal, he/she is teleported to a section of the Underworld with a small hill leading to a skull. Upon entering the skull, players await a cage to descend, allowing them to jump into the Bombinomicon. If a player jumps into the Bombinomicon, he/she is teleported back to the map, granted the achievement Dive Into A Good Book, and given a health buff and crits for a limited time. Upon death, the player is awarded the Bombinomicon badge item. Those who stay behind for too long are engulfed in an explosion that will instantly kill anyone caught in it.

In Eyeaduct, random "prizes" can be found around the map at 5 minute intervals if enough players are on the server.

Trivia

  • If a player picks up a prize in the underworld, he/she will receive a "haunted" version of the item.
  • The giant skull has an eyepatch on the left eye, just like the Demoman.
  • The giant skull also has a glowing eye, like the demoman when he decapitated someone with his Eyelander or Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker
