Essentials[edit]

Drop down to the super shotgun in front of you, noting the cacodemon on the ledge behind you, then step north to drop into a sludge pit and go round to the north side to find a small bridge leading to a chaingunner. Use the lift behind the chaingunner to go up to the blue keycard, then go back to the sludge and go to the west end to find a switch that lowers a lift with a rocket launcher. Ride the lift up and go east past a yellow door, then south to a room with a chaingun and a couple of imps. Open the blue door near the chaingun to find a chaingunner guarding a switch, flip it to lower the bars behind you, then go through the bars and head straight forward to find shotgun guys, demons, cacodemons and a Hell knight defending the red keycard. When you go up the steps to collect the key, imps and demons will teleport in behind you.

Go to the north side of the station and drop down to the red door on the lower level, open it then push past some shotgun guys to reach a skull switch at the top of the stairs. Push the switch to open an alcove ahead with a zombie and a button, then shoot the button to open a door below revealing the yellow keycard. Go back to the yellow door on the west side of the station and open it to find a lift, then ride the lift up and run forward to land on the central platform. Flip the switch on the north side of the platform to raise another lift on the west side, which will take you up to the top floor, then use another lift on the east side to go up to a switch. Flip the switch to raise a bridge to the exit teleporter.
