Walkthrough[edit]

Map of Temple Guardian
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]

As the level starts you will see a cyberdemon teleport away. Press all the switches in the starting hall to lower the columns and get a rocket launcher, a backpack and many rockets, then enter the teleporter at the north end of the hall to go to a bridge. Cross the bridge to enter a marble building, then go straight forward up the steps to a blood pool and press the skull switch on the north wall; this will bring in the cyberdemon you saw earlier, along with a second cyberdemon that appears on the lower level. Kill both cyberdemons and press four more switches that open on the west and east walls of the upper level, then climb up the steps that appear at the north end of the building to reach a pair of metal bars. Once the bars have lowered, open the door behind them and go straight forward to the exit teleporter.
