Walkthrough[edit]
Essentials[edit]
Head north into a room with a damaging blood pool, then go round to the north side of the room and push past some zombiemen to reach a switch. Flip the switch to open the tunnel on the east side of the room, kill some more zombies that teleport in then go through the tunnel to reach the east side of the map. Drop into the marble structure in the center of this room to get an armor, then go north up some steps and west to the red keycard. Approaching the key will reveal two lost souls (or a cacodemon on Ultra-Violence (UV) and Nightmare (NM) skill levels), and allow one to three imps to teleport in nearby.
Climb the steps near the red key to jump back down to the surrounding walkway, then go back to the starting area and open the red door in the west wall. Head round the blood in this room to find the blue keycard, take it then head back to the eastern area and follow the walkway round to its north side to find a teleporter. Enter the teleporter to go to the ledge behind you, then head south to the exit door and open it to find the exit button, which is guarded by a lost soul on Hurt Me Plenty and a cacodemon and UV and NM.
