Essentials[edit]

Kill the shotgun guys and imps in front of you then enter the lava river and follow it east and south into a cavern with more of the same monsters along with lost souls; as soon as you enter the cavern, step left to get to dry land and a radiation shielding suit. Go south until you pass a large tree then look left to see a metal lift, ride it up then open the nearby door to confront some zombiemen. Go down some curved steps to a room with zombiemen and demons, open the south door to reach a crossroads with imps then head east into a hall with a large teleporter pad. Go up the steps in the north-east corner and open the door to enter a T-shaped room, flip the switch at the west end then go back to the teleporter hall to find that a lift leading up to the east platform has risen; watch out for imps, spectres and Hell knights that have begun teleporting in. Open the door on the platform to enter a cross-shaped room and push past some imps and chaingunners to reach the blue keycard.

Go back to the teleporter hall and open the south door to kill a knight blocking your way into a square cargo room; advance with caution as numerous monsters are hiding behind the crates. Open the blue key door on the east side to reach a smaller room with a forklift, then head south through another door and kill some waiting zombies before going straight forward to a lava cave. Fight your way east and north to a door guarded by a baron of Hell and cacodemons, then open this door to see an arch-vile guarding the red keycard; there are two switches in the east and west walls that must be flipped to lower the key, but watch out for demons and a baron that teleport in as each switch is flipped. Return to the square cargo room and open the red key door on the south side to confront another baron at the entrance to a small cave; there is a lavafall at the south end of this cave from which an arch-vile will emerge. Walk through the doorway marked "GATEWAY" on the west side of the cave to finish the level.

Other points of interest[edit]

A chaingun can be found on a ledge north of the teleporter hall. Rocket launchers can be found west of the crossroads, and on the west side of the cavern leading to the red key. A super shotgun can be found in the crate room south of the crossroads.

Secrets[edit]

  1. At the hall west of where the blue key is located, go towards the switch. Use the panel with caution stripes next to the switch to reveal a corridor full of health bonuses. (sector 732)
  2. In the room with the blue key, press on the panel with caution stripes for a supercharge. (sector 607)
  3. Inside the square cargo room, press on the north-west panel to find a megaarmor. (sector 364)
  4. In the square cargo room, head to the south-east corner to find a berserk pack. (sector 656)
  5. In the crate room west of the square cargo room, climb the crates in the south-east up to a backpack. (sector 384)
  6. From the previous secret, make an angled jump to the brown crate on the west side, then collect the box of rockets on the nearby crate. (sector 397) If you overshoot it, you can press the sides of that crate to lower it.
  7. In the large cave in the south-east part of the map, go to the small tower where the chaingunners are located. Climb up the small steps by the south wall of this tower and walk through the lavafall at the top to get a megasphere. (sector 633)
  8. In the exit cave, an arch-vile comes out of a lavafall in the south-east part of the cave. Walk through it to get an energy cell pack. (sector 621)
