Walkthrough[edit]
Essentials[edit]
Blow up the barrels in front of you then go down the steps and head straight forward into a room with a red carpet and a chaingun (taking it opens the north wall to reveal a gang of spectres). Go east down another staircase to a long hall with imps and zombies, then open the north door to enter a room with lots of alcoves. Fight through to the south-east corner to find an alcove holding the yellow skull key, as well as an arch-vile on Hurt Me Plenty (HMP) skill level or higher. Return to the hall and open the door at the south end to get outside, kill any waiting arachnotrons and cacodemons (plus mancubi on HMP or higher) then enter the damaging magma and go to the north end to find the blue skull key being guarded by a Hell knight. Taking the key will release two groups of imps into the magma to block your escape.
Return to the long hall and press the skull switch at the south end to lower a lift with a cacodemon, then ride the lift up to a room with various monsters and open the south door to confront a spiderdemon. Open the yellow door in the south-east corner and go up the stairs, then take the supercharge to open a compartment containing a baron of Hell (or cyberdemon on HMP or higher) as well as the red skull key; the monster will teleport to the top of the steps as it steps forward, and if it walks to the north wall it will teleport again to block the level exit. Go back down to the spiderdemon's room and open the blue and red doors on the west side to find a zombieman guarding the exit hole.
