Walkthrough[edit]
Essentials[edit]
You start in a small high-up room. Pick up the shotgun along with the ammunition, then jump down. Kill the imps below and head right. As you continue down the hallway, the walls will lower, revealing a courtyard with a group of nightmare imps. Up on the ledge will be several mancubi firing down at you: it is best to clear out only the imps, then rush into the passage at the end of the courtyard and head through the door. Pick up the super shotgun and kill the lost souls and the Hell knight in this room. Head up the stairs and press the switch, then grab the rocket launcher and the two boxes of rockets.
Head up the lift and open the door to get on the ledge the mancubi were on. There is a good chance that there will be a mancubus right outside the door as you open it, so be careful. Kill all the mancubi, then head down the stairs toward the megaarmor. As you approach, the floor will suddenly lower, and you will enter a cave where you will be surrounded by cacodemons and nightmare imps. Kill them all to reveal an alcove with a switch. Press the switch to reveal a teleporter and enter it to warp to the megaarmor. Pick it up, then return to the lift that took you to the walkway. Jump down and go right: start killing the group of Hell knights that are encountered at the top of either set of stairs.
Go up the right staircase and follow the corridor lined with demonic panels. Kill the nightmare imps, then press the switch at the end of the hallway, which will briefly lower a lift to the side holding a chaingun. Pick it up: after you do so, an alcove at the start of the hallway will open up, revealing an arachnotron. Jump down into the brown liquid below and press the switch at the far end. Doing so will lower the wall the switch was on, revealing another room with two arachnotrons. It is wise to back up to the end of the tunnel and use the rocket launcher to kill them from a distance. Once they are dead, continue going down the tunnel until you encounter two staircases on each side.
Go up the right staircase and press the switch to access some resources. Now go up the left staircase and head right. Kill the imps, and then press the switch found in the center of the row of alcoves. Doing so will briefly lower the platform in front of it: go on the platform to pick up the backpack along with some ammunition. As you do so, a group of monsters will spawn below, including nightmare variants of nightmare imps, cacodemons, and lost souls. Kill them, then enter the tunnel with the brown liquid, and follow it to the end, where you can ride up a small lift. Head right and fall down, then ride the lift back up to the ledge where you fought the group of mancubi. Follow it to the end to find the yellow skull key.
Drop down the ledge, and follow the passage ahead to return to the starting area. Approach the yellow flames and they will disappear: head into the room, and you will be ambushed by two Hell knights standing guard around the doorway. As you continue further into the room, more Hell knights lying in wait will reveal themselves. Kill them all, then go up the staircase and head right. Enter the teleporter at the end to warp into the cage holding the red skull key. Pick it up, and a group of cacodemons will spawn in the cage, forcing you to fight them while trapped. Once they are killed, the cage will briefly close, after which it will open fully, revealing a group of nightmare imps as well as a pain elemental outside. Once they are all dead, approach the red flames: they will disappear, letting you leave the room.
Head right and approach another barrier made of red flames to make it disappear. Enter the teleporter to exit the level.
