Overview[]
Cathedral is one of the many fairly large maps in the game, but is known to have very claustrophobic spaces in the map's layout. This map is one the darkest among all the other Ninja.io maps, and used to be darker but was later changed. It is also one of the tightest among all the maps, with not a lot of space, especially in the left and right sides of the building. This is an open map, which means that any player can fall off the map and kill themselves. There is a hot-air balloon in the middle of the map, and there is also a full moon right above it. The map was designed to resemble a cathedral, but instead looks abandoned and has minecarts, a unique feature only exclusive to this map. There are few but large grey clouds in the sky and what appears to be a broken bridge in the middle of the building. This map is used in DM, TDM and CTF.
Important Things To Note About Cathedral[]
- If you use a high-fire rate weapon to move the balloon upward, eventually, you will make it to a UFO. A Minigun works really well when trying to get the balloon up high in the air. It is important to note that you might fall off the platform, or you might get too high and kill yourself trying to reach the UFO. Pointing the Flamer upwards towards the balloon will cause it to go up as well
- Despite being a tight map, it can also give you an advantage for killing enemy players. Using Pulse Gun in the tight spaces allows the projectiles to repeatedly bounce off walls, damaging any player in the area.
- Hiding in either sandbag barrier (where the bridge connects to the bricks) can give you a great camping advantage, especially with a long-range firing weapon. It is certainly an easy way to achieve many kills.
- Using the M79 and RPG weapon combo, you can kill campers, spammers and/or people crouching or proning.
- Camping with the Flamer is useful as it creates a wall of flame and blocks grenades and can save your team base from being invaded.
- Pointing your Bow upwards will make the arrows go back down on a different direction and because of the 0.5 second reload, the Bow will be useful in fending of enemies coming from the outside.
- With the Boomerang, you can kill off any enemy players hiding in the lower tunnel below the bridge. Do not try this tactic in DM (people will kill you if they sense your screen is with the Boomerang) or when your team base has been invaded. Use other weapons like the Pulse Gun, Flamer, etc.
