Walkthrough[edit]

Map of Do Not Panic
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]

Pick up the super shotgun and ammo for it, and proceed down the narrow walkway. A few arch-viles will spawn along the way, but have less health than normal and a greater pain chance, letting you fight them more easily. Continue until you reach the rocket launcher. Once you move on from it, two more arch-viles will spawn - attack them from a distance and behind the thin pillar for extra safety.

Press the switch and jump to the BFG9000 - there is an invisible wall blocking you from making it to the ledge. You will receive extra ammo, the blue key and a radiation suit alongside the BFG9000. Many more arch-viles will now spawn around you, but they are harmless - their flame attack does not hurt you. Still, they will be annoying and block your view for the rest of the level, so you should still kill them all (saving some cells for an upcoming fight).

Once the arch-viles are taken care of, open the blue door in the north east corner and press the switch behind it. This will open up the eastern half of the level, where you must run (or jump) across the platforms to reach the platform at the end. Here, three final, regular arch-viles will attack you while the teleporter lowers. Finish them off, take the teleporter, and press the exit switch.
