MAP16: The Chapel Of Black Granite (Hell Revealed II)

MAP16: The Chapel of Black Granite is the sixteenth map of Hell Revealed II. It was designed by Sam Woodman, who also wrote the music track for this level, "Ambience II".

Essentials
A cyberdemon greets you at the start. Run forward getting rid of chaingunners and imps if necessary, then take the small path to the right. Ride the lift up and take the next door, following the next hallway to a lift, killing revenants and imps as you go. At the top, kill the imps and be wary of the baron trap that springs before the next door. You will find a big hub with a lot of hell knights. Take the northern door with metal panels for a corridor of chaingunners. Follow this corridor to a lift leading down into a tiny room. Inside, bars will block you for about thirty seconds while a window opens with a few arch-viles. Fend them off until the bars open. Open the door, and you should see a switch above a hallway that you have already explored. Shoot it, looking out for the chaingunners from behind, then return to the chaingunner corridor. There is a new opening, follow this hall for some chaingunners and some caged arch-viles. Some stairs will lower as you proceed, where you will fight mancubi and cyberdemons in a tight room. Press the lion switch on the east wall of this room, then press the southwest, northwest, southeast, and finally northeast switches to raise a step to the north, allowing you to jump to the next area. Be careful when you jump, as there are arch-viles present below. Down here is the yellow skull key; flip the switch to appear in a room of revenants and a teleporter back to the hub.

The teleporter takes you in front of the yellow door, so open it and kill the mancubus, then open the next door. Here you will have to tangle with spider masterminds, arch-viles, and imps. The blue skull key is in this room, and to get it, take the lift to the left, then follow the ledge to get it. Now return to the hub and open the nearby blue door. Kill the nearby arch-vile and watch as stairs lead up to a lion switch. Pressing it opens up the central structure in the hub, which you can open up directly for another switch to flip, gaining access to the red skull key. Proceed further and your way back is blocked while the wall in front lowers. Go down the stairs to the teleporter where the first cyberdemon was, and it will be blocked off while revenants teleport into the area. Deal with them, then climb the steps back up and you will find a switch, reopening the cyberdemon teleporter. Open the red door and follow the corridor, being mindful of a nasty ambush midway through. You will find yourself outside with a bunch of demons. Follow this path until you find a demon face and a flickering arrow pointing to it. Press on the face and flip the switch behind it to exit the level.

Secrets

 * 1) Press the demon face behind your starting point for a plasma gun. (sector 27)
 * 2) After riding the first lift up, look to the left for a megaarmor. Shoot the fence behind the megaarmor, and a patch of wall will disappear allowing you to get the megaarmor. (sector 6)
 * 3) In the room where you are trapped for thirty seconds against arch-viles, shoot the light fixture between the windows to open up a switch. Flip this switch and when the bars open, proceed through the door and go around for a BFG 9000 and a blur artifact. (sector 144)
 * 4) In the tight room with mancubi and cyberdemons, press on the southwestern lion switch, and the north central column will have an opening with a box of shotgun shells. (sector 173)
 * 5) The northwestern lion switch in the same room creates an opening on the southern side of the south central column, where you will find a medikit inside. (sector 175)
 * 6) Next to the demon face concealing the exit, you can see two pickups on both sides. Shoot the fences to open up a passage near the pickup, and kill the mancubus inside. Enter its room for the wall to lower so you can retrieve the pickup. The left side has a megaarmor. (sector 204)
 * 7) The right alcove contains a cell charge pack and is obtained in a similar manner as Secret #6. (sector 209)
