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]

Collect the shotgun in front of you to lower the walls on either side, revealing imps and zombiemen, then go west into the next room to deal with imps and one or two demons. Continue west through a corridor with three buttons, which can be pressed to open the bars next to them if you wish, then go outside and head east across the grass to a silver lift, which goes up to a hallway with shotgun guys. Flip the switch in the hallway to open a monster closet at the south side of the grass, releasing imps and demons, then go inside it to get the red keycard.

Go through the doorway in the north-east corner to enter the middle section of the grasslands, then go east through a door and follow the corridor until you reach a set of blue steps. Go up to the top step to drop into the room with the blue keycard, which is guarded by imps, demons and zombiemen, then flip the switch at the east end of the room to lower the bars by the entrance. Open the door behind the bars to get back to the corridor, then go back outside and head north-west up the grass steps to a set of red bars that you can open.

In the north section of the grasslands, go to the cave at the north end to face some imps then open the blue door inside it to find a button. Press the button then go back outside to find that the blue bars on the west side of the grass have opened, then step through those bars and blow up the barrels on the steps to kill the zombiemen blocking your path. Go down the steps and open the door at the bottom to find the exit switch.
