Walkthrough[edit]

Map of Spiral of Despair

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]

As the level starts you will see a cyberdemon and the blue skull key on a platform in front of you, surrounded by an inescapable blood pit. Enter the room at the south end of the map to face a group of imps guarding a switch, flip it then go back to the blood pit and pass through the now-open east door to face a group of Hell knights (and an arch-vile on Hurt Me Plenty skill level) guarding two BFG9000s and an eye switch. Press the switch to raise a bridge to the cyberdemon's platform, which has a rocket launcher on it, then take the blue key and open the skull barrier at the north end of the map to find a mancubus guarding the exit hole.
