Essentials
The main gimmick of this level is a single mancubus standing atop a platform in the center of the main arena. Should the mancubus die, a pack of arch-viles will be released and likely overwhelm the player in seconds.

Behind the yellow key door is a switch which will kill the arch-viles with a crushing ceiling. At this point it is safe to finish off the mancubus.
