It was designed by James Paddock (Jimmy) and uses the music track "A Lot of 'Qi'," originally composed by Kenji Yamamoto for Dragon Ball Z: Budokai and sequenced to MIDI by silentzorah. The par time is 3:00. In the Bethesda Edition this level received minor changes in geometry but no thing updates.

Walkthrough[edit]
Essentials[edit]
You start in an outdoor area that holds up to 15 mancubi, who are positioned to your left and right as well as around the gray building in front of you; there is a chaingun to the east, a super shotgun straight ahead, and a rocket launcher behind the building that you can use to kill them. Once all the mancubi are dead, the door of the building will open to reveal revenants (and Hell knights on Hurt Me Plenty skill level or higher)—go inside and flip the switch on the north wall to lower the large silver columns, which hold arachnotrons and imps, then kill them along with more arachnotrons that have appeared outside.
After killing the final arachnotron, go outside and head round to the north side of the building, where a step has risen letting you climb up to the ledge with the blue keycard; as you advance, watch out for cacodemons, lost souls and one or more pain elementals that have been released. Press the button on the ledge to lower the blue key, pick it up then go back inside the building and open either of the doors at the north end to enter an elevator. Press the button behind the grating to lower the elevator, and end the level after a few seconds.
Bethesda Edition[edit]
In the Bethesda Edition, the lights on either side of the button that lowers the blue key have been removed, and the cacodemons and pain elemental behind it are now placed in a single pit rather than several small pits. The path through the level is unchanged.
Other points of interest[edit]
Secrets[edit]
- Look at the silver ridges south of the blue key. The second one from the east has a hidden switch. Press it to raise a couple of rocky steps to the east, which lead to a soul sphere and health bonuses. (sector 62)
