Walkthrough[edit]
Essentials[edit]
Grab the shotgun to your left then head east until you drop into a white pit - there are barons of Hell on the ledges on the west side of the pit, and the three marble blocks in the pit will lower to reveal a chaingun along with shotgun guys and lost souls. Enter the doorway on the south side of the pit to enter a fenced area, then press the skull switch in the south-west corner followed by a second switch behind it to enter an area with some large rocks. Head around the west side of the rocks to a lava pool, where you will be able to climb up the rocks to reach a rocket launcher and a skull switch. Press the switch to release a spiderdemon on the west side of the area, then kill it to end the level.
