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 begin in the open area at the north end of the map. Go to the west side to get a shotgun, chaingun and rocket launcher then climb the steps here to get a partial invisibility. Follow the path south until you reach a plasma gun then go east down some more steps to a recessed satyr switch and shoot it to open the way forward. The south area of the map is a square walkway over a nukage pool – the blue skull key is at the south-east corner of the walkway, but various monsters will teleport in and ambush you as you follow the walkway round.

With the blue key, go to the west side of the walkway and open the blue bars here then approach the skull switch in front of you to reveal a pain elemental. Press the switch to lower the lifts to your left and right, kill two waiting demons then ride either lift up to find some imps guarding a water pool that will teleport you to the eastern tunnel. Drop into the pit in the middle of the tunnel to find a berserk pack, then activate the lift on the north side of the pit to go up to another teleporter. After entering it, drop into the passage in front of you and press the skull switch at the end; it will lower so you can return to the square walkway where a few more monsters will appear.

Go back to the starting area and press the skull switch that has appeared on the eastern wall to lower it, then go up the steps to a second skull switch and press that as well. Go back to the starting area, where more monsters are teleporting in, then press the gargoyle switch that has opened inside the central structure to bring in a cyberdemon. Killing the cyberdemon will open the bars at the south end of the starting area, letting you enter the nukage pool behind it. Go to the west side of the pool to get a radiation shielding suit, kill the Hell knight (or baron of Hell on Ultra-Violence and Nightmare skill levels then press the lion switch to open a second chamber to the east, which contains the exit switch.

Secrets[edit]

Official[edit]

  1. In the starting area, get to the north-east side and pick up the health bonus. You will teleport to a ledge above it. From here, keep teleporting by entering the blue walls and you will eventually get a supercharge. (sector 25)
  2. In the area at the south end, go through the nukagefall near the entrance to find a megaarmor and a medikit. (sector 274)
  3. At the easternmost area with two teleporters, trigger the north lift by approaching it from the south, then press the switch at the south end and get on the north lift. Take it up, get behind the teleporter, then use the switch. Go to the area connecting the two main areas and take the east passage, which leads to a megasphere, an armor bonus, and a switch. The switch lowers the computer area map at the north-east end of the area as well as health bonuses directly south-east, and you can enter the blue wall to teleport to a medikit, armor bonuses, and another switch that opens a teleporter at the south end. (sector 149)
  4. Use the teleporter mentioned in secret #3 to get to a ledge with a switch to the north. Press that to open a wall to the west, on the left side of the arch containing a revenant and a teleporter to some armor bonuses, a stimpack, and rockets. (sector 175)
  5. At the eastern tunnel with two teleporters, trigger the north lift and ride it up, then take the teleporter. Look to the right and shoot the lion face (you can also shoot this lion face from secret #4 if you are using a super shotgun), then head north and when a wall nearby lowers, follow the passage to get a BFG9000. (sector 398)

Non-official[edit]

  • In the eastern tunnel with two teleporters, go to the north side and look south-west to see a hidden satyr switch. Press the switch to open a second switch in the east wall, which will open a door at the south end of the tunnel for a few seconds. Press the skull switch to open an invulnerability in the westernmost tunnel, near the super shotgun.
