MAP18: Litany (Plutonia 1024)

MAP18: Litany is the eighteenth map of Plutonia 1024: The Plutinya Experiment. It was designed by A.Gamma, and the par time defined in MAPINFO is 2:30.

Essentials
Take the chaingun in front of you, then open the door behind you to reach a small courtyard where two or three chaingunners are guarding a super shotgun. To the south is a wooden platform with the yellow skull key on it as well as an arch-vile; when you approach this platform three imps (or chaingunners on Ultra-Violence (UV) and Nightmare (NM) skill levels) will teleport to the courtyard. Go down the stairs either side of the platform to a sludge pool and dispose of the revenants, lost souls and Hell knights (or barons of Hell on UV and NM) waiting here, then look in the north-east corner of the pool to find a satyr switch and press it - some bars will lower nearby, letting you reach a teleporter behind them.

Go back up to the courtyard to slay two cacodemons that have teleported in, then pass through the west archway and approach the stairs in the south-east corner, which will release an arch-vile ahead as well as causing a mancubus to teleport to the ground level. Go up the steps and open a door at the top, then run forward to reach the teleporter you opened earlier - the teleporter will send you to the wooden platform with the yellow key, which you can now claim along with a rocket launcher. Drop down to ground level and prepare to face one or two barons (or a cyberdemon on UV and NM), then go to a locked door in the north-east corner of the courtyard and open it to reveal a skull switch. Press the switch to lower the east wall and pass through it, kill two revenants that are revealed ahead then head south through a doorway to find the exit teleporter - before entering it, you will need to kill or push past an arch-vile (two on UV and NM) that teleports in, along with a chaingunner that appears behind you on Hurt Me Plenty or higher.
