Walkthrough[edit]

Map of Rubicon
Letters in italics refer to marked spots on the map. Sector, thing, and linedef numbers in boldface are secrets which count toward the end-of-level tally.

Essentials[edit]

Flip the switch in front of you to be taken up to an arena shaped like seven hexagons - a cyberdemon can be found in the north-west hexagon, and it must be killed to complete the level. Make sure you do not fall into the lava around the arena as you will be unable to escape.

There are cages containing imps on top of the six central columns - if you press the switches on the sides of each column they will lower, allowing you to collect two rocket launchers, a plasma gun, a supercharge, a backpack and an armor. Keep an eye out for lost souls charging into the arena from the lava, as they may intercept rockets from you or the cyberdemon.

Other points of interest[edit]

A megaarmor can be found in the middle of the arena on I'm Too Young To Die and Hey Not Too Rough skill levels.
