Essentials[edit]

Walk straight forward to a backpack, then open the door ahead and continue on to an armor and a fire portal. Enter the portal to be sent to an octagonal platform with eight columns, which you will need to give you cover from the spiderdemons to the west and east and a cyberdemon to the north; getting them to infight is strongly recommended. Go to each of the spiderdemons' platforms to get a rocket launcher and plasma gun, then press the gargoyle switches on each platform to open the pathways leading to the southern building.

Go inside this building and press the satyr switch at the south end, then return to the center platform, where a supercharge, a megaarmor, a plasma gun and an energy cell pack have all appeared on the central pentagram; a second cyberdemon will teleport in as you reach the platform, and eight barons of Hell will surround you when you approach the items. Kill all the barons then go to the north platform with the first cyberdemon and enter the fire portal behind it - after a series of disorienting teleports you will find yourself in the pentagram room from E1M5: The Dig Site. Climb the steps to the north-east until you reach the surface to finish the level and the episode.
