Essentials
At the start, step back to lower the floor, revealing an arena. Flip the switch slightly to the left within view and fend off the monsters (or simply avoid firing in order to prevent them from spawning) while you wait for the marble pillars to finish lowering. Grab the three keys on the pillars, then press the three keyed switches on the corners of the arena to reveal a switch on the southeast corner. Use it, turn around and wait for the bars to lower in front, then drop down the hole to exit the level.

Secrets
This map has no official secrets.

Bugs
The switch marked with the blue skull symbol (linedef 632) doesn't actually need the blue key to activate. As a result, the blue key is unnecessary.

Speedrunning
As this level does not contain official secrets, the NM 100S category is redundant.
