MAP12: Speed (The Plutonia Experiment)

MAP12: Speed is the twelfth map of Plutonia. It uses the music track "Facing the Spider" from Doom.

Strategy

 * Leaving the Start Point will raise 6 invisible floors

Secrets

 * 1) From the first blood-floored area, head left and fall into the large bloody pit. After getting the yellow skull key, continue up the stairs to the river of blood where you can run across to the teleporter floating in the large blood pool. This takes you to a platform high above this area. From this ledge, you will be able to drop down onto a lower one just south of the one you stand on. The teleporter close by takes you to an otherwise unreachable ledge leading to a soul sphere.
 * 2) Drop down from secret #1 and head through the opening to the right, falling into another large blood pit area. Continue into the alcove to the left and ride the lift up to the ledge. Straight ahead of here is a gargoyle-faced switch. Press it, then continue up the nearby stairwell. At the top is a teleporter to a secret area.

Bugs

 * This level can not be played in Deathmatch, because there are no Deathmatch Starts. This bug is not present in an alternate version of PLUTONIA.WAD found on a specific version of the id Anthology.
 * This map cannot be accessed on the Macintosh version of Final Doom when played on an earlier model (Macintosh Performa, for instance). Once the text after Hunted is bypassed and the level starts loading, the computer will freeze up.  You also cannot access this level through the IDLEV cheat code either.

Routes and tricks
It is possible to finish the map with a rocked jump combined with an arch-vile jump. The speciality of this trick is that you will die during the performance, but you can land exactly on the exit what is enough for the accomplishment of the map.
