Walkthrough[edit]
Essentials[edit]
Take the shotgun in front of you then go forward to a junction, watching out for a super demon and super imp on your left. Go north to a crossroads guarded by shotgun guys, another demon and one or two mancubi, then continue north to a cavern containing a berserk pack; from here you can go up some steps then walk east to find a button inside a rock column. Pressing the button will allow a pack of demons, imps, zombies and revenants to teleport into the area, as well as lowering a wall near the crossroads which hides an arch-vile. Walk past this wall to find a staircase leading up to the blue keycard, which sits on a ledge overlooking the starting point.
Drop to the ground and go through the south door to confront a couple of imps and shotgun guys along with a revenant, then go through either of the west doorways to find steps leading down. As you start down the steps two closets will open to reveal six aracnorbs, which are essentially flying legless arachnotrons; slay them then continue down the steps to find a lever (guarded by a mancubus on Hurt Me Plenty (HMP) skill level or higher) that will lower a neighboring lift. Ride the lift up and head straight forward to a second lift, which will lower as you step on it to reveal a door leading outside.
Tread carefully in the outdoor area on HMP or higher, as an arch-vile standing on a crate will be able to see and attack you. Follow the brown path west to a set of steps, watching out for enemies hiding behind the gray walls. Head up the steps and head north past an arachnotron (which may release an arachnorb when destroyed), then east to another set of steps leading up to the top level. Go through a door to the east to see the yellow keycard on a pole; flipping the switch to the north will open a closet containing one or two revenants guarding another switch, which will lower the yellow keycard and allow you to take it. Go back to the starting area and open the yellow bars here, then step on the red X in front of you to finish the level.
Other points of interest[edit]
A super shotgun, rocket launcher and super chaingun can all be found in the eastern section of the map. Approaching the super shotgun will lower two walls revealing zombies, demons and an imp; if you come back to this chamber after pressing the button that reveals the blue keycard, you will find that a supercharge has appeared here.
Secrets[edit]
- In the western section of the map, there is a target switch tucked away in the south-eastern rocks. Shoot it to lower a supercharge. (sector 526)
