Letters in italics refer to marked spots on the map. Sector, thing, and linedef numbers in boldface are secrets which count toward the end-of-level tally.
Essentials[edit]
- Go along the river in the starting room. Drop down and open the door. At the other end of the room, walk upstairs. Get to the opposite side of the long outdoor area. Either use the elevated platform in the middle or go past the platform near the walls of the area. Open another door to enter a brick room. In the north section near the two lamps, turn left and go down where you need to enter a new door.
- In the marble room, open the western baron wall. Going past the altar, drop to either alcove to the south or north. Quickly get to the western "rest stop" because of the nukage. Press the button to open both the eastern door in the marble room and a trap behind you. Get out of the nukage area by taking the southern path. Return to the marble room and take the eastern path. Take the blue keycard.
- In the marble room, open the northern door. Open the wall to the north in this room. Go down to the circular outside area. Turn left, press the skull and take the lift. Another skull switch will temporarily open the western door. Drop down and return upstairs, then enter the western alcove. Inside, enter the teleporter.
- Walk around the room and enter the teleporter.
- Walk up the stairs on either side. Press the switch to the south to open the exit area. Enter the teleporter to the north to end the level.

Secrets[edit]
Official[edit]
- In the easternmost part of the level, in the brick room, go to the raised platform with two tall techno lamps and press use on the north-west brick wall, revealing an alcove with a computer area map (and a partial invisibility in deathmatch). Both the alcove (sector 206) and the door itself (sector 210) are flagged as secret.
- See secret #1.
Non-official[edit]
- In the easternmost part of the level, in the brick room, go up the stairs to the small room with a stand with a brainless corpse hanging over it. The stand itself is blood-stained but the west segment of it is not. Walk around the stand and activate that segment. A small closet containing a security armor will open behind you.
Bugs[edit]
On medium and hard difficulty a spectre (thing 254) is placed hanging over a ledge near the dark zigzag path, and is stuck.
