Walkthrough[edit]
Essentials[edit]
You start inside a column. Flip the switch in front of you to raise the floor and go up to a metal courtyard with spectres and zombies, then use the lift to the west to get to the upper level and head south to a doorway at the bottom of a trench. Go through the doorway and kill some waiting zombiemen, then step through the window in front of you and carefully drop down to the red keycard, which is on a bridge in the middle of the room. Watch out for the nukage trenches on either side of the bridge as they are inescapable if you fall into them. Go west from the key to a junction, collect the super shotgun here then follow the corridor south and west to a red door. Pass through the door to enter a tall room with various monsters, activate the silver lift on the west side of the room, then collect the rocket launcher on it and go up to the top floor to find zombiemen guarding the blue keycard.
Step on the lift again and ride it down to the western walkway, then follow this north and east to another red door. Go through the door and immediately head north to a blue door, which leads to six columns that overlook an outdoor area with a nukage river. Drop down two columns to get a radiation shielding suit and plasma gun, which will help you kill the pain elemental and other enemies ahead, then use the smaller lift in the south-west corner to go up to a brick room with more zombies. Head north up two flights of steps to a door, collecting a chaingun on the way, then go through and push past a couple of spectres and Hell knights to reach the lift at the north end of the marble room. Ride the lift up and open the door at the top to face one or two mancubi, then continue east to another door and follow the corridor behind it to get back to the starting area. Kill any waiting imps, then enter the white teleporter in this area to go to the opposite corner where you will find the yellow keycard. Step back on the teleporter to return to the previous area, then open the yellow exit door to find a shotgun guy guarding the exit switch.

Secrets[edit]
- When you approach the southernmost blue key-locked door, an alcove containing imps will open at the south-east of the map, in the green tech room. Head to that location, and press on the west wall of the alcove to find a backpack. (sector 255)
- Once you step into the southern section of the gray marble room with the small nukage fountain, a few compartments containing enemies will open, including one south-west of the brown brick area you came from. Backtrack to that location, and open the rear wall of the compartment to find a megasphere. (sector 257)
- After you climb the stairs into the hallway leading to the exit door, an alcove containing imps will open to the west in the previous room. Push on the back wall of the alcove to find a chaingunner. (sector 261) On Hurt Me Plenty or lower, there will be a partial invisibility here instead.
- In the room with the exit switch, press on the middle of the northern wall to find a super shotgun and a medikit. (sector 259)
