MAP24: Population Control (Project Einherjar)

Map24: Population Control is the twenty-fourth map of Project Einherjar, designed by Impie in 2017 and constructed in Doom Builder 2.

Essentials
Grab all you can in the opening room before entering the maze: the wall closes behind you once you step through.

The maze grows larger as you explore it like a rat. Eventually you'll open the way to a series of switches which expand it further and unleash more enemies into its frigid trenches. The third switch you flip opens the maze exit, which leads into a small dungeon. On the other side of the dungeon you'll find yourself trapped inside a coliseum, where you fight Juggernauts, Block Lords, and eventually panicked guards for the amusement of Contessa's minions. Escaping the coliseum will cause the audience to come after you: fight your way through them to the upper levels of the death maze and the exit.

Secrets

 * Open the control panel in the start room for a Mako Gauss cannon.
 * The first "room" you come to in the maze has a false wall that reveals armor and a Sister of Contrition.
 * There is a hidden switch beside the exit switch, which lowers a pillar on the upper levels of the death maze, revealing a ballistic knife.
