Walkthrough[edit]
Essentials[edit]
You begin in a bunker at the south end of the map. Take the chaingun and ammo then go west to a staircase that will send you up to the battlefield, where you will face a group of shotgun guys (or just chaingunners on Ultra-Violence and Nightmare skill levels) in the trench at the north end. Enter the tunnels on either side of the trench and go north until you reach a hub with a red platform, then climb up the stairs on the west side of the hub and follow the path down to a cavern with a lava pit. Walk across the narrow ledge at the north end to reach the other side of the pit, then go up the northern steps and push through an imp ambush to reach a hallway which is blocked by a metal bar. Drop into the hole in front of the bar and look west to see a gargoyle switch through a narrow gap, which you can shoot to open the metal walls on either side and reveal more imps.
Go north into the neighboring corridor and look west to see a switch in a pit, then approach the switch to trigger an ambush by imps along with a Hell knight (or one or two revenants on Hurt Me Plenty or higher) behind you) behind you. Flip the switch to raise steps leading back up to the hallway with the metal bar, which is now open, then step past it to find a teleporter which goes to the room with the blue skull key, which is protected by imps and a knight. Go east up a curved staircase to get back to the lava room, then run up the gray steps to get back to the east side of the room so you can return to the hub. Go up the east staircase in the hub and press the skull switch at the top to open the blue bars next to it, then go down the steps to enter another trench area with lava rivers; as you enter this area, two doors will open at the east end and release a pack of shotgun guys. Go south across some lava to enter a tunnel with a radiation shielding suit, then go east into a bunker and south down some steps to find a knight protecting the yellow skull key.
With a radiation suit, go back to the trenches and follow the rivers east to the compartment that the shotgun guys came from. Go through the yellow door inside it to drop into a room with wooden pillars, press the lion switch at the south end to open a closet behind you with imps and/or revenants, then press the gargoyle switch inside this closet to lower the south-east wall. Follow the passage behind this wall to an exit door and flip the switch behind it to go down to a hall with knights (plus mancubi and revenants on HMP or higher), then go up the steps on the east and west sides to find two gargoyle switches that will raise bridges over the lava. Step across the bridges to reach the north side of the hall and open the door on the other side to reach the exit teleporter.

Secrets[edit]
- After crossing the lava river at the west side, climb up the steps at the north end and head south. You will notice a wall on the east side that is slightly open at the top. Lower it to get a supercharge. (sector 259)
- In the north area with lava past the blue bars, take the lift up to a switch and flip it. Head north across the lava and west to get boxes of rockets and a megaarmor. (sector 401)
