Walkthrough[edit]
Essentials[edit]
Turn right (west) and go straight forward to a pair of red cables next to a set of bars, then follow the cables to a button guarded by some zombies and press it to open the bars. Go north into the next area and walk down the steps to collect the blue keycard, which will lower the floor to reveal a group of demons, then run south to collect a chainsaw which will help you clear them out. Open the northern wall and kill any zombies waiting behind it, then go up the stairs at the north-west end of the room (more zombies will be released behind you) and flip the switch on the west wall to open a door leading back to the starting area.
Go back to the bars near the starting point, where some enemies have teleported in, then go through the bars and pass through the blue door at the bottom of the steps. Open another door in front of you followed by a third door at the bottom of the stairs, kill some more zombies then go through the door at the west end of the hall to enter a server room. Fight through some imps to reach the bottom floor and pass through the door here to enter a room with a nukage pool, then follow the path north and west to a small door. Open the door and kill some imps blocking your way to a lift, then ride the lift up and turn right to see the yellow keycard being guarded by a chaingunner.
Go east through another door to reach the upper level of the nukage room, then follow the walkway to the south end to find a yellow door with zombies behind it. Go east through another door to find a Hell knight guarding a junction, then head south into the neighboring room and enter the alcove in the south-east corner to find another knight guarding a button. Press the button to lower the wall at the south end of the cage and use the lift behind it to reach the red keycard, then go back to the junction and climb the steps to find a red door which is defended by zombies. Open the door and kill any waiting imps, then attempt to open the door at the back of the room to finish the level.
