Walkthrough[edit]

Map of Tower of Hades
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]

At the start, step back to lower the floor, revealing an arena. Flip the switch slightly to the left within view and fend off the monsters (or simply avoid firing in order to prevent them from spawning) while you wait for the marble pillars to finish lowering. Grab the three keys on the pillars, then press the three keyed switches on the corners of the arena to reveal a switch on the southeast corner. Use it, turn around and wait for the bars to lower in front, then drop down the hole to exit the level.

Other points of interest[edit]

Secrets[edit]

This map has no official secrets.

Bugs[edit]

The switch marked with the blue skull symbol (linedef 632) doesn't actually need the blue key to activate. As a result, the blue key is unnecessary.
