Walkthrough[edit]
Essentials[edit]
Red key[edit]
You begin in an area with three doors. Go down the steps in the south-west corner and kill the imps waiting at the bottom, then go west through a door and press the skull switch in front of you to lower the wall to your left, revealing an arachnotron and two revenants. Step through the wall, noting the red door in front of you for later, then go outside to a lava lake and go north down a marble staircase which leads to a super shotgun. Run west from the staircase to land on an island with health bonuses then go up the steps and follow the ledge round until you pass a button, which will lower a lift leading up to the walkway overhead. Collect the rocket launcher on the walkway and kill the enemies that appear ahead, including two arachnotrons on Hurt Me Plenty skill level or higher, then follow the walkway into a hallway with a yellow door and a red exit door.
Press the skull switch opposite the exit door to raise a bridge, cross it then continue north until you drop into a lava pool with cacodemons. Collect the radiation shielding suit on the west side of the pool then run east through the lava until you enter a hallway with two revenants. Go up the steps past the revenants to another red door, kill the waiting baron of Hell then look north to see a skull switch on the opposite wall and shoot it to raise a lift. Once the lift stops, press the button underneath it to lower it then ride the lift up to the red skull key.
Yellow key[edit]
Go back to the red door on the other side of the lava and pass through it, then go straight forward (south) past some zombiemen until you drop into a lava pool; you will be back at the skull switch west of the start. Go to the red door you passed earlier and pass through it, then go up the stairs to your right and press the skull switch at the top to lower a radiation suit on the other side of the room. Take the suit then drop into the lava pit, open the door at the south end and follow the path past some imps to a supercharge, which will lower the pentagram wall in front of you. Take the plasma gun behind the wall and kill the zombies, imps and mancubi waiting in this room, then go up the stairs on the west side and go south and east to get the yellow skull key. On HMP or higher, taking the key will cause three revenants to teleport to the top of the staircase.
Blue key and exit[edit]
From the yellow key, go north to a yellow door and open it to enter a room with a supercharge. Kill the arch-vile and other enemies that teleport in then go through the door at the north end of the room to return to the starting point. Retrace your steps to the hallway with the exit door, then go through the yellow door at the north end and turn left to see some imps and zombies teleporting in. Go past these enemies to see a baron guarding the blue skull key, then pick it up to lower the floor behind you and reveal stairs leading down to a radiation suit. Take the suit and go north through the lava to a room with a wooden island, then press the skull switch behind the lost souls in the south-east corner to raise some steps at the opposite end. Go up the steps you just raised then continue east and north up a second staircase, which leads to an open room with a cyberdemon.
Press the button at the south end of the room to lower the wall and get back to where you found the red key. Go back to the exit door and open it, along with the two other doors behind it, to find an arch-vile guarding the exit switch.
Other points of interest[edit]
