Essentials

From the start go through the door in front of you. There is an area with some teleporters and 3 other doors. Take the left and grab the yellow skull key and head over to the door on the opposite side. There jump down the blood pool, and take care for it hurts, so go to the concrete floor. From there you can see two yellow doors, one on the left side with an exit sign, and another on the right. Take the right first and grab the radiation suit. Then go to the concrete floor in the east and take the teleporter on the south-eastern bloodpool. This leads you to the blue keycard. Go back to the area with the two yellow doors, and take the left one, with the exit sign this time. Enter the room, lift the blue door an exit the level.
