Overview

An area near the beginning of The Gateway to Hell.
The pillar from where the player can make his triumphant attack, before the Cyberdemon that guards the Gatekeeper.

The Gateway to Hell is one of the three official Doom IWAD levels where the Icon of Sin appears, although in this case protected by a Cyberdemon.

Strategy

Map of MAP30.

Walkthrough

Go pick up all the goodies in the starting room (A). Jump down the bloodfall. The bloody floor is not damaging, so feel free to walk on it as you please. Pick up the BFG9000 (B) on a platform in the middle of the room. Go towards the opening in the wall (C). You will be teleported to an area (D) with pillars and Arch-Viles in them. Go straight forward and the wall in front of you will rise down revealing some Lost Souls. The Gatekeeper is covered and protected by a Cyberdemon (E), which you need kill to use the switch on the right. Then use the switch to the left which will lower the pillar (F). Wait until the pillar is nearly at the top and fire a rocket into the the brain of the now unguarded Gatekeeper (G). Fire at least three rockets at the brain, just like in Doom II. The monsters around you may be ignored for the most part.

Secrets

There are no official secrets in this level. However, just like in Doom II MAP30, you can use the noclip cheat code to enter the boss brain area, though it does not count as a secret.
