Walkthrough[edit]

Map of With A Little Help...
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 are given either two ammo clips (Ultra-Violence or higher) or a box of ammo at the start. The room ahead has a caged cyberdemon at the north end, as well as two invulnerabilities to the sides. An additional invulnerability along with an ammo clip are north of the cyberdemon cage, but only on Hey, Not Too Rough or lower. A voodoo doll is in a central cage in a small maze-like section. Your goal is to guide the voodoo doll to the gate, which will require both an invulnerability so you can avoid damage as well as your pistol to shoot it forward. The cyberdemon's rockets may hinder this, so be careful. Shoot the voodoo doll so it heads northwest, then northeast, and when it's in the right position just north of the gate, allow the cyberdemon to shoot it through. You may need to get the other invulnerability around this point. The voodoo doll will telefrag the cyberdemon when pushed through the gate, and the normal exit to the east will be revealed.

If you want to reach the secret exit, shoot the voodoo doll in the cyberdemon cage until it teleports again, and the west wall will lower. The voodoo doll will "talk" to you as you enter the secret exit corridor (this is done by way of an imp in a dummy sector, whose alert and death sounds have been modified to make it appear as the voodoo doll is talking). Touch the voodoo doll to exit the map.
