- Press the gargoyle button to lower a platform with a Hell knight and/or a baron of Hell (on the UV skill). Press the button to lower the same platform in the eastern portion of map.

Other points of interest[edit]
Secrets[edit]
- Inaccessible secret. In the central building in north part pass through the fake brick wall and from the ledge jump over to the other side. You can get a soulsphere (or a megasphere on UV skill instead) and ammo here. Open the eastern wall. Grab the BFG9000. The secret is inaccessible because you never can step over the narrow doorway. (sector 211) Thus, the secret count is always zero percent in the intermission screen.
Bugs[edit]
