E2M4: Shotgun Blues is the fourth map in episode The Road to Eternity of 2002 A Doom Odyssey. It was designed by Paul Corfiatis and uses his music track "Popdoom". In the 10th anniversary edition the entire hallway with lost souls and a soul sphere leading to the secret exit was removed, only to return in E2M5: Fortress of Fatalities.

Secrets[edit]
- Open the door behind your starting point (north) to get a megaarmor. (sector 187, counts only in 10th ann.ed.)
- In the area with the bridges and switches, just south of the northernmost room, approach the gargoyle switch to the north until you hear a lift lower. Go back south, hitting the gargoyle switch there, and quickly enter the side room (west side) where a chaingun and ammo clips are. (sector 213)
- In the northernmost room, look at the faces behind the torches. One of these is a satyr face instead of a lion face. Press on the torch there to open up the center block, revealing a soul sphere. (sector 67)
- In the open area past the red door, open the door north of that door to reach a room with a walkway above nukage. The north end of the walkway functions as a lift, so use it and go north through the wall. You can grab several health and armor bonuses, a megaarmor, a backpack, a plasma gun, and an energy cell pack, as well as a teleporter taking you back to the starting point. (sector 120)
- In the large cavern at the south end of the map, drop into the lava below and head for the southwest cave. At the end of this cave are a teleporter and two gargoyle switches. Shoot at the unlit one (eastern one). If you go to Secret #6 after doing that, you will find out that the northwest corner has opened up. Inside is a BFG9000 and a switch. (sector 183)
- In the yellow key area, look towards the left window from the entrance to this area (west) and shoot at the wall to find a switch. Shoot again at that switch, then backtrack to the blue key area. Go towards the east and up the steps until you find the entrance to the windowed area where you can get a soul sphere. (sector 110)
- Get the yellow key, then return to the hub and take the northwest path. Before the steps, press on the wall in the southwest corner and open the blue door. Grabbing the yellow key will remove the bars here. Take the lift up and flip the switch to collect a chainsaw. (sector 198)
- Enter the exit room after using the switch in Secret #5 to find a backpack, a box of ammo, and a box of shotgun shells. The next switch to reach the secret exit is across the damaging blood pit. (sector 164)
- Traverse the blood in the previous secret, then re-enter the cave area at the south end of the map. At the entrance, an opening to the north has a soul sphere, and the last switch needed to reach the secret exit. (sector 169)
- Once you press the switch in Secret #9, return to the outdoor area north of the starting point to find a teleporter to the south that will lead you to the secret exit. (sector 174)
