Erebus - Level 3: Erebus Labs

Erebus - Level 3: Erebus Labs is the third level of Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil. Wraiths and the regular zombies return, and the player acquires the double barrel shotgun.

Summary
At the start, the marine receives a transmission from Dr. Elizabeth McNeil telling him to find a table fragment from Site 1 called The Primitive, which is needed for Dr. Cloud down in Erebus complex to decypher other tablets. In the first part of the level, the marine has to go through ancient Martian hallways, including an area called The Proving Grounds, where he has to dodge high speed projectiles coming out of walls by using the Hell Time power. Soon he reaches the main complex. Inside the first floor he finds a locked door to Site 1 Research and a lift leading to Medical Labs. The marine goes through Medical Labs first and in Medical Ward finds Preston Glenn, who is in the process of turning into a zombie. After killing him, the marine takes his PDA, which gains him access to Research area, and also removes a power cell from a power plant located there. He then returns to the first floor and proceeds to Research area.

The door to Artifact Research, where The Primitive and the exit are located, is locked due to the area being contaminated with toxic gasses. The gas can be vented in Artifact Control, but the marine needs one more power cell to power up the mechanism to do so. The other power cell is located in Offices, so the marine goes there. After going through some corridors the marine finds to main offices - one is Sarge's Office, and the other is Administrative Office. In Sarge's Office the marine finds sarge's locker which contains the keycard to Administrative Office and the double barrel shotgun, a weapon so iconic it out-icons every other weapon. The code to the locker is found in PDA the marine picked up earlier - 428. The marine unlocks Administrative Office and gets the second power cell from there.

The marine then goes to Artifact Control, powers up the plant with two cells and vents the gas, so that he can finally proceed to Artifact Research. In Artifact Research all he needs to do is to pick The Primitive and go to the exit, which is located nearby.
