MAP03: Sacrificial Altar (Preacher)

MAP03: Sacrificial Altar is the third map of Preacher. It was designed by Darch, who also composed the level's music track, "Die Motherfucker Die."

Essentials
At the start go forward, around the pillar, then go down the stairs and enter the teleporter. There are three keys in the large area you arrive in, your goal is to collect them all. The blue key is located to the north, the red key is found in the east while the yellow key is in the south of this area. With all three keys in your possession, enter the arena in the middle then flip the switch in the centre, by the titular altar. This will open a door straight ahead, revealing a room with another switch. Press it to open the door ahead, with the exit teleporter in front. Before you reach the teleporter you'll be teleported to a pit. Turn around and use the switch to lower the wall in front, then go up the stairs and go around the pit to find the exit teleporter again. Enter it to finish the level.
