Walkthrough[edit]
Essentials[edit]
Kill the zombiemen in front of you, then open the northern door and enter the teleporter behind it to go to the northern area of the map. Open the door and kill any shotgun guys waiting behind it, then head north to reach the outer "ring" of this area before going south past some imps to reach an electrical wall, which will open as you approach to reveal chaingunners. Enter the teleporter behind the chaingunners and kill any demons waiting in the next room, then press the button in the south-east corner to raise a lift from the water nearby. Ride the lift up and go downstairs to two switches and two teleporters, then enter the southern teleporter to go to the eastern area of the map. Flip the switch in front of you to open the surrounding doors, kill any imps waiting behind them then approach the outer walls to lower them and reveal a number of demons and chaingunners, along with the yellow keycard in the north-west corner of the pool.
Go to the teleporter in the south-west corner to return to the previous room, then flip the switch next to the northern teleporter to open a path back to the starting room, where more monsters have appeared. Open the yellow door on the east side and enter the teleporter behind it to go to the western area of the map, which consists of several platforms above a nukage pool. From the ledge you are standing on, go east past some blue bars (which block the exit teleporter) and drop into the nukage to collect the radiation shielding suit, then go to the north-west corner and activate the metal lift here to get up to the platform with the blue keycard. Kill the shotgun guys/chaingunners that are released then use the metal lift at the south end of the nukage to return to the ledge. Open the blue bars you passed earlier and step on the white teleporter to finish the level.
