MAP11: Putrid Cathedral is the eleventh map of the first release of Jenesis. It was designed by James Paddock (Jimmy) and uses the music track "Moonlight Bloodbath," composed by Icytux.

In the second release it was transformed into MAP19: The Vulcanum, but it returned in the Bethesda Edition in slot MAP33 with tiny changes to both geometry and things population. Here the par time defined in the DEHACKED lump is 1:00, but 2:00 in UMAPINFO and ZMAPINFO.

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]

You start on a lift that will take you down to a corridor with weapons, ammo, a berserk pack, and a megasphere. Kill the arch-vile that appears when you approach the megasphere then open the door behind it to enter a large hall with an Icon of Sin and Hell knights, as well as barons of Hell and mancubi on Hurt Me Plenty skill level or higher.

Enter the teleporters on the east and west sides of the hall to go to the ledges above them, press the lion switches at the north end of each ledge to lower the metal bars in the center tower, then press the skull switch underneath the Icon to lower a silver lift inside the tower. Run round to the south side of the tower to catch the lift before it rises, then fire a rocket into the Icon's brain as the lift rises to damage it. Repeat this process until the Icon is dead.
