Walkthrough[edit]
Essentials[edit]
Once the elevator you start on has reached the bottom, cross the stepping stones in front of you to reach a metal lift and ride it up to a ledge with a few imps. Follow the gray path north-west to a narrow tunnel and kill an imp waiting inside it, then go through the tunnel to enter a large cave and continue north over another stepping stone. After crossing the stone, open the wooden door in the east wall and follow another tunnel to a bridge guarded by one to three lost souls, then cross the bridge to enter a third tunnel that leads down to a cavern with a river running through it. Cross the large bridge in this cavern and kill any imps and spectres waiting on the north side, then run west to an opening marked by two candles and go through it to find a spectre guarding a satyr switch. Press the switch then go back to the cavern and climb the steps in the north-east corner, then go to the marble structure in front of you to collect the blue skull key - taking it will cause some lost souls and one or two cacodemons to appear.
Go back to the large cave in the north-west of the map, then follow the path north, west across a small bridge and south until you reach a larger bridge. Continue across this larger bridge, killing any lost souls that appear to your left, then go into a tunnel and kill a baron of Hell that rises from the floor to block your path. Continue east into a cavern with some imps, then head north across the river to a wooden door and open it to find a passage leading to a lift. Press the lion switch next to the lift to go down to the floor below, then follow the path north past some lava and lost souls until you reach a circular platform covered in health bonuses. Take the east path to enter a small cavern with more lost souls then continue east until you reach some stepping stones that lead to a satyr switch. Press this switch then go back to the circular platform and take the north path, which leads down a narrow metal beam to the red skull key.
With the red key, kill the lost souls that appear at the top of the beam then go back to the southern cave and head east to an arch bridge. Across the bridge are three doors - you must go through the north and south doors first to open the way to the exit. Go through the north door to find one or more imps guarding a marble lift, then activate it to go down to a blue room where a cacodemon will appear, then enter the north passage and follow it round to a lift that goes up to a gargoyle switch. Press the switch then go back to the cave, pass through the south door and repeat the process to find a second gargoyle switch. Now go back to the cave and go through the center door, then head straight forward to a door and pass through it (it opens and closes automatically) to reach the exit portal.
Other points of interest[edit]
In the blue key cavern, check the south-east corner for a small chamber containing a megaarmor.
In the southern cave, instead of crossing the arch bridge, go to the north wall to find a dark passage with a berserk pack.
Secrets[edit]
- When the starting lift lowers all the way to the bottom, go straight into the water and go south-west. You should faintly see a candle. Follow this path of candles until you surface. There is a pile of skulls and candles nearby with health bonuses, and there also is a plasma gun and energy cells in the actual secret sector. (sector 603)
- When you reach the southern portion of the map, enter the door leading north and go through this cave until you reach a bright area with a single red torch. Press use on the torch and a nearby wall across this torch will lower. A supercharge is hidden behind this wall. (sector 531)
