Walkthrough[edit]
Essentials[edit]
Press the skull switch in front of you to lower the wall then head through the light tunnel to a chamber with an armor, a shotgun, a chaingun and ammo, then climb the steps to a red brick lift with a chainsaw that will lower as you approach. The lift will take you up to a marble arena with two barons of Hell, but when you start shooting more monsters will teleport in from the fire walls on the east and west sides of the arena - you must hold them off while waiting for two more barons to appear. Use the invulnerability pickup and four supercharges to help you; note that the supercharges are on teleporters that will send you to the opposite corner when you step on them.
Once all the barons are killed, the bars at the north end of the arena will lower to reveal a flesh wall; walk through it and you will be teleported into a lethal ambush. The episode automatically ends when your health drops to 1%.
Other points of interest[edit]
Use the teleporter in the middle of the arena to return to the chamber with the supplies. Note that any monsters that try to step on the lift will be teleported to the start of the level.
