E2M7: Ore Processing (Doom the Way id Did)

E2M7: Ore Processing is the seventh map of The Shores of Hell in Doom the Way id Did. It was designed by Brendt Pantley (Megalyth) in the style of John Romero.

Essentials
Take the hallway on the left when you enter. You will need to cross the nukage to a switch which will open the right hallway. Press it and go to the right hallway. Press the switch for a shotgun and continue on. Follow the path until your next switch. Press it and ignore the red door as you backtrack. Pick up the armor and notice the wall has lowered revealing monsters and a nukage river. You will have to traverse the nukage to the next room with four paths. Go to the north side as these paths are open. If you try the left path, you will eventually find a chainsaw, which you can use on demons before you leave. Taking the right path, you will immediately find a fork. Go left for a few supplies, and go right down the lift to the huge hall here. Head into the computer room. There are a number of things you can do here. If you approach the computer wall, it will open allowing you to access a few supplies. You can shoot the southeast computer wall to open the way up into a secret. If you find the secret switch here, another computer wall will lower revealing a baron of hell and a switch. This switch allows you to get a soul sphere in another room nearby. What you ultimately need to do is take the lift through the hall at the northwest of the computer room. Go up here and take the teleporter.

Press the switch at the end of the next room, and take the lift down. You will appear in the hall with the four choices again, this time with the lower right one open and a new area in the area past the nukage river also open. The previously-blocked-off choice does not have much except for one secret. Take the other newly opened passage. A bit further into the passage, and another one behind you will open. Go here and through the blood to two more choices. Take the southern one. Although you will see the yellow exit door, there is also a teleporter here, so take it. Go straight across for the red keycard. Now backtrack all the way to the red door that is in the nukage river(the other choice can wait a bit as you eventually need the blue key for it). Open it and climb the steps to a switch, lowering it and a room with a cacodemon. Open the other red door here. Now you can acquire the blue keycard. Now go back to the blood pool and take the northern choice, up a lift and to the blue door. Behind this door, you will have to follow a long and winding path, looking out for crushers as you do. Along the way is a large room with armor. Follow the path until it drops you onto the yellow keycard. Now with every key, backtrack once again to the blood pool taking the lower of two paths. You will find the yellow door and the exit a ways behind it.
