Walkthrough[edit]
Essentials[edit]
There are no keys in this level. The level is extremely short if you decide to not visit optional areas. In the starting room, open the door to an open area. In this area, turn left and open the similar silver door ahead. Dispatch a shotgun guy and a zombieman and ascend the stairs. Kill the imps in the corridor and flip the switch ahead of you. The switch in front of you ends the level.
Other points of interest[edit]
In the northern outside area, reach the opposite alcove under the red lamps to lower a pillar nearby to give access to a shotgun. This is not very useful, as there are plenty of shotgun guys around that can drop shotguns, and there is no radiation suit to protect you from the nukage you have to run across.
In the southern outside area, a small building can be found in the center. Find the stairs leading below ground and lower a silver lift (which reads "UAC" and has the corresponding logo). The lift will lead you to the room within this building. Take the rocket launcher, some ammo and health.
Secrets[edit]
- In the exit room, do not hurry to press the button. Turn left and open a computer panel. You will find three items: one box of rockets, an armor bonus and a soulsphere. (sector 29)
- There is a hidden lift in the previous secret. To temporarily lower it, walk up the staircase leading to the exit room, then visit secret #1 and enter the aforementioned lift. This will raise you to a passageway with some bonuses. Go to the end of it and open a metallic door, which will lead you to one of the ledges on which you find some health and armor, shells and a plasma gun. (sector 31)
- Do not hurry to drop off secret #2's ledge; face the southern wall and open it to reveal a dark room. Press the switch here to activate a lift leading down to a lower room with imps. Press another switch in that room in order to lower a hidden lift. Step on it and take a chainsaw. (sector 38)
- Get outside. At the entrance to the nukage area, turn left and open a noticeably dark brown wall. Take the invulnerability sphere. (sector 55)
- Do not hurry to step off from secret #4's lift. Wait until it raises you up. If you are playing a deathmatch session, you find a BFG9000 here. Otherwise, not. In any case, there is a switch for activating the lift again in order to get out. Visit this secret in both single player and multiplayer games, if you wish to trigger the secret and get 100% secrets. (sector 58)
Bugs[edit]
A hard-difficulty spectre (thing 58) is stuck in the stairs leading down to the entrance of the central structure in the southern outside area.
