WalkthroughEdit

Map of Ninth Circle

Letters in italics refer to marked spots on the map. Sector, thing, and linedef numbers in boldface are secrets which count toward the end-of-level tally.

EssentialsEdit

Take the boxes of rockets and stimpacks in the starting room then open the door ahead to face a cacodemon, as well as more cacodemons and a baron of Hell who are further away. Take the rocket launcher from the moving block north of the starting point, then step on the gray platform to make a spiderdemon rise from the central column. Fight the spiderdemon, using the moving blocks in the arena as cover, and the level will automatically end when it dies.

Other points of interestEdit

The other large blocks in the arena hold an armor, a plasma gun and a backpack.
