Essentials
Take the shotgun and super shotgun and drop to the ground, then turn right and climb the steps ahead to enter a green brick building with some imps. As soon as you enter, turn right and climb another staircase to a teleporter which will send you to the north-west side of the level which is guarded by various monsters, including a revenant and an arachnotron on Ultra-Violence (UV) and Nightmare (NM) skill levels. Head west and climb up a black staircase to confront a revenant waiting at the top, then follow the path past some shotgun guys and chaingunners until you reach a switch in the north-east corner of the building. Press the switch and head back along the path, climb up a gray staircase that has risen then turn round to see a green step - pressing the switch here will end the level.

Other points of interest
Enter the building west of the start point then head west up the steps to find a megaarmor along with a set of red bars, behind which you will find a box of shotgun shells and two radiation shielding suits guarded by an arch-vile. The red keycard can be found on a step in a neighboring room.

After teleporting to the north-west area of the level, follow the narrow walkway north to find a berserk pack.

Secrets

 * 1) Go to the north-east corner of the lava caverns to find a rocket launcher. (sector 52) Finding this secret will reveal a teleporter to the south; approaching that teleporter will release a large number of cacodemons into the level, up to 36 on UV and NM.
 * 2) The rock with the plasma gun and rockets counts as a secret. You can jump here from the ledge to the south, or even the ledge to the north-west. (sector 58)
