MAP18: The Throne of the Vile (Perdition's Gate)

MAP18: The Throne of the Vile is the eighteenth map of Perdition's Gate.

Essentials
At the start go forward then go down the stairs to your left. Make your way to the teleporter within view and take it. Move forward, then enter the first room you see and go around the table to collect the blue key. Exit this room then go right and go down either set of stairs to the sides. Move to the north and open the blue bar at the top of the stairs. As you enter the next room a stairway will start to form. Once it's done, climb either set of stairs to the sides and go up the stairs leading to the south once you reach the middle. Follow the path, then enter the teleporter to exit the level.

Secrets

 * 1) The wall at the end of the starting corridor is blinking. Open it, then take the teleporter to reach this secret, containing a megaarmor, three backpacks stacked on top of each other, a plasma gun, a rocket launcher and a chaingun. Take the teleporter at the end to be teleported to the courtyard near the start. (sector 28)
 * 2) In the final area, after climbing either set of stairs to the top, you'll notice two pillars on the sides of the room. The pillars furthest from your position contain an item: a megaarmor on the pillar to the west and a megasphere on the pillar to the east. From the top of the stairs, make a running jump to either one of the closest pillars, then jump to the furthest one on the same side. As you collect the item, you'll be teleported to a secret room containing a BFG9000. Take the teleporter in this room to be teleported back to the top of the stairs in the last room. (sector 129)
