MAP02: The Pain Labs is the second map of No Rest for the Living. It was designed by Arya Iwakura and uses the music track "The Dave D. Taylor Blues". The par time is 1:45.

Essentials
Go upstairs and go through the door to your right. Walk along until you reach the red key.

Backtrack to the first door and open the red door behind it. Walk along, open the door and take the blue key.

Take the blue door to the right of the blue key and go through it. Go right and push a switch that will lower a yellow key.

After taking the yellow key, backtrack to the blue door and open one of the two yellow doors nearby, walk along, open the exit door and flip the switch behind it.

Secrets
There are twelve secrets on the map, in nine secret areas, some of which can be accessed from several places:
 * 1) From the starting position, head up the stairs. Near the top is a tripwire activating an entrance to the northeast. Open the door to your right and run past the chaingun platform, turn left. As you enter the corridor, the first aperture on your left will be open, revealing three armor bonuses and a light amplification visor (sector 23).
 * 2) Collecting the red keycard opens five nearby closets, the back wall of the one in the southwest of the dark section (behind a box of bullets) can be opened, revealing a berserk pack. Stepping in this secret (sector 144) triggers an ambush and opens a passage to the room with the chaingun platform.
 * 3) Return to the north of the stairs from the starting position and look to the west. The northern wall behind a set of shotgun shells halfway to the soul sphere opens a secret area (sector 311) with (one on easy, two on medium or three on hard skill levels) imps, a super shotgun, three stimpacks and eight armor bonuses. This area can also be accessed by opening the tech panel on the southern wall between the two nukage pools in the area north of the red door.
 * 4) Grab the super shotgun in secret #3. It is located on its own, also secret, sector (sector 440).
 * 5) Grabbing the red keycard opened an alcove in the south of the soul sphere platform, containing six imps (you met halfway returning from the red key), a box of shotgun shells and a bullet box. Open the southern wall to face two (easy) or four (medium and hard skills) imps. The sector south of the door counts as secret (sector 208).
 * 6) In secret #5, walk a step to the south on the slightly darker square (sector 438) with the seven health bonuses arranged like an arrow pointing at the western wall.
 * 7) Leave secret #6 to the south. The sector in front of the lowermost stair counts as a secret (sector 439). Secrets #5-7 can also be accessed by opening the wall in the northwest of the ledge surrounding the yellow keycard area, beyond the blue door. (See secret #10.)
 * 8) Open the western wall in secret #6 to reveal a switch that lowers the soul sphere platform. It counts as a secret (sector 77).
 * 9) Open the slightly differently textured wall north of the eastern nukage pool mentioned in secret #3 to access a secret balcony (sector 417) with two troopers, two clips, a stimpack and a chainsaw on a platform with two health bonuses behind. Picking up the chainsaw after lowering its platform by using the nearby switch sparks an ambush (with three troopers and two demons).
 * 10) Beyond the blue door, just westsouthwest of the southernmost cement pillar, the western wall behind a stimpack can be opened, allowing access to the ledge surrounding the area with the yellow keycard. The section of that ledge just beyond the stairs is secret (sector 383). An alternate route to secret #5-7 can be opened by activating the northern wall in the northwest corner.
 * 11) Circle all along the ledge mentioned in secret #10 to reach the megaarmor. The northern wall of the ledge can be opened, revealing a secret sector containing a blur sphere (sector 342).
 * 12) Inside the exit chamber, the eastern wall opens a passage with a flight of stairs leading to the imp balcony (sector 437), which is a secret area where you can find a clip, a set of shells, a computer area map and six health bonuses.
