Walkthrough[edit]
Essentials[edit]
There are no keys on this map and the progression is relatively simple and linear. Open the door in the starting area and progress to the nukage room. Do not fall into the pit, as there is no way to escape. Progress around either side and open either door at the far end. Before you drop down make sure you have all the ammo and weapons you need, as you cannot backtrack. As you drop down a wall lowers to reveal the final arena. You must kill the two barons to complete the level. Once dead the arena walls lower (similar to E1M8: Phobos Anomaly) to reveal the outside area. To finish the level, go outside and enter the pyramid-like exit portal.
