Trivia

 * Szalor's ladder challenge in this map unites in the exact point with the Ascension Rites' match, making it a possible canon storyline.
 * This map shouldn't be confused with a cut map from the first Unreal Championship.

Ascension Rites
Match name: Lambs to the Slaughter Gametype: Nali Slaughter Rivals: Szalor Time Limit: 10 Goal Score: 50

Prologue
Malcolm: ''The Skaarj. Their brutality is legendary throughout the galaxy. Hands down, they're the most vicious warriors around. Which makes my guest a tourney competitor to be feared. Szalor, welcome.'' [On the arena] Szalor: Good to be here. Malcolm: ''Let's cut right to the chase. Why do Skaarj hate humans?'' Szalor: You killed our queen. Malcolm: ''Sure, but that was at the end of the war. Why did you attack our colonies?'' Szalor: We have no grudge against humans. Malcolm: ''That's a relief! You heard it here first.'' Szalor: We subjugate all inferior races, not just humans. Malcolm: ''Ohhh-key. Let's move on. Your next opponent is some Nakhti soldier... Anubis.'' Szalor: [growls] Malcolm: Must be tough facing an "inferior human" as an equal. Szalor: Not as equal. Malcolm: Competitor, then. Szalor: ''Hm... It is... unsatisfying... to rip them apart, only to have them respawn.'' Malcolm: ''Your next match is a Nali Slaughter. Some would say it's unwise to meet a Skaarj warrior in a game they invented.'' Szalor: It is always unwise to fight a Skaarj warrior. Malcolm: ''Tell me about the Nali. What are they like?'' Szalor: ''They are sheep. Slaughtering them almost takes the pleasure out of killing. Almost...'' [laughs maniacally]
