Walkthrough[edit]
Essentials[edit]
Much of this map consists of a maze of white valleys. Head north from the lava pool in front of you to a junction, take the south path then go west at the next junction to enter a dark cavern with lava streams. Walk south over the first stream, then take the west path and follow it up some steps which lead to a lion switch - pressing it will lower a marble block in the water below, which holds the red skull key. Go back down the steps to a teleporter, which you will need to leave the caverns shortly, then drop down to the floor below and head east to the water pool you saw earlier to get the red key.
Go back up to the teleporter you just passed and use it to return to the cavern entrance, then return to the starting point and head south then west to an area with another water pool. Open the red door in the north wall to confront a couple of shotgun guys, then continue north through a second door to reach a platform with two switches that is protected by imps and cacodemons. Flip both switches to reveal some metal pillars from the blood, cross them to get a rocket launcher then open the door in front of you to see two staircases - the west staircase leads to the blue skull key, and the east staircase leads to a megaarmor.
With the blue key, head back to the starting point and go north until you reach an open area with a large blue barrier. Open the barrier and run up the steps behind it to land on a marble ledge with some imps; the door behind them will open to reveal two cacodemons who are guarding the exit switch.
Other points of interest[edit]
Secrets[edit]
- In the valley areas, head north from where the chainsaw is and through the cave to the east. Shoot the gargoyle switch behind the fence and head to the area it was at. To the east is a blood pit before a switch, this blood pit was raised once you shot the switch. Use the switch beyond the pit, then head out and south to find a supercharge and lost souls on a lowered rock. (sector 188)
- Head through the bloody wall west of the red door to find a berserk pack and a teleporter taking you to the side rooms beyond the red door. (sector 90)
- Head into the blood at the west end of the map and enter the area with multiple blocks. Use the lift to the north and you can find a plasma gun to the east. (sector 145)
- In the same area as above, hop the blocks going south to the alcove with two torches. Use the green torch to lower a metal wall with a computer area map. (sector 151)
