Walkthrough[edit]
Essentials[edit]
The platform you start on is surrounded by armor bonuses, and some men from Leng and flesh spawn will come running at you immediately. There are more flesh spawn and devils around the large open area, along with plenty of shells. There is a mutant sphere in a nukage pond, if you grab it and run up a tunnel to the spawn area, and run up a staircase lined with armor bonuses, you can use it to ambush some men from Leng, and easily kill them all. There are also some enemies behind a grate, you can punch them through the wall, and they cannot hurt you. Open the door to get some shells and health bonuses. Turn left into a large room with four pillars, and turn left again to go outside, but on a thin walkway. When you walk out, there are devils on ledges to the left and right, and the blue key is in front of you, but make a 180° turn, and mow down the enemies approaching you from behind.
Grab the blue key, and head back to the pillar room, where the blue key door is. If you need ammo, take the big door immediately right as you turn the corner, where there is a box of shells. Otherwise, continue going until you reach the conveyor. Turn left and run against it to find a box of rockets and a lot of barrels. Go back to the conveyor belt, and follow it all the way, watching out for the crusher. Go back through the blue key door, and check the alcoves to the left for some stimpacks, health bonuses, and a computer area map. Then, go outside near some health bonuses on a ledge, and watch out for the devils teleporting in across the large open area. Pull the switch and then run to the exit teleporter.
Other points of interest[edit]
Secrets[edit]
- Inside the central building, head east and you will see five columns with panels on them. One particular panel is higher than the others, on the second to last panel. Use it and you can get a megaarmor to the north. (sector 150)
- Head to the nukage northeast of the start and drop down to get a mutant sphere. (sector 169)
- At the northeast end, take the conveyor to the big room and head to the largest platform. Flip the switch in the middle here, then head back to the north hall. Enter the leftmost alcove at the north end where three health bonuses are. If you used the panel that opened Secret #1, you can head outside to get a yellow key. (sector 193)
Bugs[edit]
- The side linedefs on the blue key door are not unpegged, so the textures move upwards when you open the door. Also, the textures to the side of the door display the blue skull key, not the keycard that is found in the map.
